Bungie is pleased to present a new update to Halo PC (and Custom Edition). The patches and dedicated servers are linked below. In a couple days once more servers have come online, the auto-update notice will be displayed in game.
As you might have heard, the Gamespy service that has provided our server list these 11 years is shutting down at the end of the month, and prior versions of the game will no longer be able to browse for internet multiplayer games. Community member btcc22 has valiantly written a new server-browser application for Bungie to host and support in-game via this patch.
This update also contains a number of other small bugfixes, mostly relating to security or compatibility with newer hardware. Big thanks to community members Technut and kornman00, and btcc22 again, for helping to catalog and investigate these problems, making the job of fixing them much easier, and to the community who has helped test the patches.
Bungie believes in creating lasting social experiences, and while we're all enormously excited for the upcoming release of Destiny and hope you'll join us for that ride, we're also gratified by the ongoing enthusiasm for the original Halo, and glad to be able to help keep a good thing going.

Patch notes:
Bumped version to 1.0.10.0621
Moved Gamespy services to use new non-Gamespy server
Fixed a family of index-out-of-bounds bugs which had been exploited to crash clients
Made banlist parsing not case-sensitive
Removed halt on cache file verify error
Removed some verbose debug logging of gamespy connections
Fixed handling of video cards with >= 2GB of memory
Enabled refractive Active Camo on Nvidia cards, which had previously used an alpha fade. (AMD cards already have this)
Updated 2003-era upper bound on the video resolution picker. Use at your own risk; the game is untested at 4800x3600.
Updated chatbox settings to work with newer resolutions
Models node limit updated to 63
Fixed reading sv_ban_penalty from init.txt
Disabled executable_is_valid checksum from strings.dll
Allowed network access in devmode
Fixed parsing of custom map names containing a "."
Edit: The CD Key database is now online too, to assist people in creating meaningful banlists for their dedicated servers.

it took over 10 years for bungie to make a patch, no wonder they can't make pc version for destiny, it's outrageous that you had balls to write "hope you'll join us for that ride"

Edited by Zonda: 8/28/2015 7:46:31 AMMan, It's great to see the amount of response this thread got. Hopefully we can organize a full blown game night at some point! sawnose, Technut, kornman00 and btcc22, you guys are absolute champs!

I had no idea Kornman was still doing Halo PC stuff, nice to see him active. Thank you Sawnose, I'm glad to hear Halo PC will live on. [quote]Enabled refractive Active Camo on Nvidia cards, which had previously used an alpha fade[/quote] Oh my god yes. 10 years of faded Spartans has come to end.
-
You guys are the best!
-
Thank you for this update, with respect also also due to Btcc22, Kornman00 and perhaps one or two others I am forgetting. It is a shame that since the website update and the subsequent shutting-down of the Halo PC forum that so many of us *veteran* members have vanished.

[quote] ...Bungie believes in creating lasting social experiences, and while we're all enormously excited for the upcoming release of Destiny and hope you'll join us for that ride...[/quote] Port it to PC? :)

This is fairly late, but I do mean to say Thanks to you Sawnose and all others at bungie who validated this patch, thanks to Btcc and Kornman as well! Hopefully this is not the last patch and I'm glad to see the community was involved in it, Hopefully this will happen again!
-
I just found this, so happy!
-
I really hope the guys who worked on this have the best of times because I don't have enough words to express my gratitude towards them, thank you so much.

Looking through this thread and seeing a few old Map Makers from the pre 2009 era overflowed me with dat Nostalgia.
-
I have some version of the game, No clue what version though. And when I try to download the update it says I don't have Halo Installed! What up with that?
-
So, I am completely overjoyed at what you guys have done here I have to agree with the sentiment of some of my fellow bungie fans below though, I would love to see a pc version of Destiny I am a student, I recently built my new computer which cost most of the money I have, and after friends have had huge issues with both the ps4 and xbone decided that I won't get on board with the new consoles I know the relationship between you guys and a certain proprietor of computer systems ;) has been tense, but you have a whole community of people dedicated to the support of your old games, that would love to have access to your latest work that maybe can't afford or do not want a system "upgrade" Having played Destiny on PS3 for a few days, it is fun, but I feel a PC version with better social integration could really enliven the shared world AND most importantly, make you guys a nice amount of money in the process :D Keep making awesome games, keep supporting awesome player-bases See you fools in Battle Creek

Says I don't have halo installed. Any way to fix this?
-
Im not sure if people still read this yet or not, but for some reason I felt like installed halo again.. my disc and key worked and all of that but the links for the manual updates are broken. Is there another place to get the manual update from thats virus free?
-
I cannot access the custom modded maps on Halo PC's servers that auto-download when selected to join. Please help. I have already updated the game to it's current setting.
-
Stupid question alert: How do i get the update for Halo? I dont see anything that tells me how...
-
Is there a method of playing cross platform between Mac OS X and Windows? :-)
-
When playing single player campaign, with no mods.... the game freezes while loading the mission after the truth and reconciliation. From all the info i've collected from the net there seems to be a problem either with the patch or windows 8
-
HEY HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THE NEW UPDATE BCOZ I WANT TO POLAY THIS GAME
