1.08 Official No-CD Patch Released!

[NuggetWarmer]

http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halopc/patch/halopccd.jpg
See that? Good. Now bookmark this page, because you'll have to come back here if you want to see it again. As an added treat for our loyal users still playing Halo PC after 5 years, I got clearance to discontinue the CD check as part of this patch! This doesn't change the licensing (don't pass around your disc), and you still need your unique product key to play online, but I figure your CD is probably pretty scratched after all this time, and it deserves a break. Anyway, on to the patch...

This is build 1.0.8.616, and is the official version of the test release from the other day. To give you confidence that you're playing on a patched server, this build is not backwards-compatible with old servers, nor will the new server work with old clients. For this reason, I'm posting the patches here a day and a half before I'll mark them for auto-updating in-game. This way, server operators have a little time to roll out the new bits before Friday's auto-patch of the client.

If you haven't been following the pre-release threads, this patch contains several fixes for server-crashing security bugs, and that's it. As I have discussed elsewhere, anti-aimbotting is an arms race that we're not going to enter for this old game, and this patch doesn't address that or any other feature-level changes. I should also note that Bungie does not officially support Halo PC (which is owned by Microsoft, not Bungie) but since the build machine is under my desk and not at MS, I fixed these several bugs as a favor to the community. I can't promise any future support, nor can I open-source the code for community development.

There are 4 patch files. If you aren't sure which one you want, you want the first one only.

Halo PC 1.08 Patch: http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halopc/patch/halopc108patch.exe
Halo PC 1.08 Dedicated Server: http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halopc/patch/haloded.exe
Halo Custom Edition 1.08 Patch: http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halopc/patch/haloce108patch.exe
Halo Custom Edition 1.08 Dedicated Server: http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halopc/patch/haloceded.exe

To use the patch files, you must already have the corresponding game installed. To update your dedicated server install, just drop the appropriate file over the old one. Halo "Custom Edition" is an "unsupported" (but popular) version of the game that allows user-created maps, and is available for download from Gearbox and other mirror sites.

Remember, the game will require this patch to play online starting Friday (and I'll update the MOTD at that time too.)

Enjoy!

Thanks, HDoan, for showing it to me.

[The_Wraith]

Hmm...I've always just used Daemon Tools...

[NuggetWarmer]

Yes, but this is a required patch. :D Plus, it's official.

[Pooky]

Well that's nice I guess. In the extremely rare situation that I want to play Halo anymore, I won't have to fumble around with CD emulation, or with actually finding that scratched piece of crap.

[Reaper Man]

Yay, just in time too, I lost my disk when I moved and when I found it had fucking cracked :phonegonk: I guess that means I'll be playing CE again.

[NullZero]

Awesome, I'll update when there are any actual servers up :o

[Zeph]

bitchin.
I'll post this in the news real quick.

[ultama121]

I think sawnose is a pretty cool guy, eh... does cool stuff for the Halo community and doesn't afraid of anything.
Wait... does this mean people from 1.0 can finally come to 1.08? That would be awesome and would make the community grow.

[Pope]

I believe you still need a valid CD-key.

[ultama121]

Meh, they just need to make it open source and free. :-3

[The_Wraith]

Meh, they just need to make it open source and free. :-3 Microsoft would never do that. They still get sales from it believe it or not.

[SuperSunny]

I would update if Yelo worked for it, otherwise I can't lose the widescreen support :(

[ultama121]

Its a mandatory update, you don't really have a choice. Soon enough everybody will update. :(

[n00b1n8R]

So you still need the origional CD and key to install the game, just not to run it?

Yay I guess (won't help all the crackers out there much in regards to online as they'll still all be using the same key).

[Timo]

Its a mandatory update, you don't really have a choice. Soon enough everybody will update. :(
Not if you use a custom UI that doesn't update :?

[FluffyDucky™]

But then won't your halo be demented and not show the servers? I just installed 1.08, there were no servers... so bacon sent me his exe and strings. So wouldn't it be the same when everyone updates? The servers will be updated soon, the client update people will be able to choose, but, will it be like what I just had and show like none or just those servers that are still running under the old patch?

[sdavis117]

Hopefully all the servers update to this soon. I'm worried about updating to this because I don't want to hit refresh and see that there are no servers that I can play in.

[NullZero]

Not if you use a custom UI that doesn't update :?
Exactly what I was thinking :)


Hopefully all the servers update to this soon. I'm worried about updating to this because I don't want to hit refresh and see that there are no servers that I can play in.

Well, actually, you'll have to hit the "Get List" button (as you have to restart Halo to update) :P

[jcap]

Not if you use a custom UI that doesn't update :?
Just click the "check for updates" button :v:

[p0lar_bear]

Just click the "check for updates" button :v:

I actually have a reason to hit that damn button now. :woop:

Though it would never happen, wouldn't it be downright hilarious if Microsoft actually FOSS'd Halo the day before Kornman decides to release Open Sauce?

e: Doesn't work. Patching manually... :saddowns:

[ODX]

First, where's the 'check for updates' button? I didn't find it, but I guess I'll just download an updating UI, not that big of a deal. Also, my friend (Co Redsonic) tells me all 'hacks' and things don't work anymore :( No FOV/Thirdperson, no Yelo (as we've said) no Sightjacker. OUR LIVES ARE OVER!

[jcap]

I actually have a reason to hit that damn button now. :woop:

Though it would never happen, wouldn't it be downright hilarious if Microsoft actually FOSS'd Halo the day before Kornman decides to release Open Sauce?

e: Doesn't work. Patching manually... :saddowns:
It works, it's just that I don't think they released the update to the GBX servers yet. Running haloupdate.exe tells me the game is up to date, though it really isn't.

[InnerGoat]

sightjacker breaks? Well, that's not much of a help. You can still do it the old fassion way... ;)

[TeeKup]

Bungie actually gave us another update? oshi-

[Party_Grunt]

Bungie actually gave us another update? oshi-Its nice to know that some (one?) over at Bungie cares enough to implement some fixes, even though the game isn't supported anymore.

[TeeKup]

Indeed.

[Patrickssj6]

They couldn't add SafeDisc and they called it "we removed CD check"...ok.

[Party_Grunt]

Well, as a member of SMT, and after reading ODX's post and testing thirdperson myself, this may be a major setback to the mod because thirdperson in SP (maybe MP) is a major part of mod. Is there anyway to get around this problem and still have thirdperson, or has bungie made it so that no outside programs are allowed to communicate with halo?

[sdavis117]

If no outside programs can communicate with Halo, does this mean the end (or atleast a break) of (from) aimbots.

[ODX]

Oh hell, why me. Take a look at the quote:

Unless I'm mistaking this (which I think I might be) aimbots should still work.

[PlasbianX]

Oh hell yes this makes me so freaking happy! Woot!!




Too bad my game still doesnt run though. <:mad:>

[Hazard1337]

Bungie is my favorite designers now =D

Thing is, there isn't much of a variety of servers on 1.08. It'l probobly change on friday.

[legionaire45]

Back when I played at around 9:00 there were about 3 or 4 servers in total. Not needing a CD to play the game is nice.

[flibitijibibo]

Sweet. Now I just need to find my CD key...

[blind]

Thank god, my disc has been to hell and back. Now I finally can just leave in C&C all the time :)

[Limited]

Sick. I'm actually surprised my halo disk still works, it has a million scratches, its dusty as hell and has bits of food on it.

Auto update isnt enabled yet, read the post hes giving us time to manually do it.

I'm surprised ODX shows his face here, if its the same one as I think it is.

Also hacks just need updating, chill.

They will be remade.

[Cortexian]

Okay well, my server is updated, no more app though...

[ExAm]

*snif* Goodbye, Battery :(

[DaneO'Roo]

fuck YEAH.

Also can you fuckheads stop whining about OOH YELO BROKE OOH BATTERY :sadface:.

Bitters aimbot got broke by the patch?

Thats good enough for me.

[Sel]

Yeah, no aimbots for a bit is great.

I have to admit Im a little disappointed by the breaking of Yelo though :(

Still awesome though.

[Heathen]

Yeah. Broken aimbot is temporary.

[StankBacon]

im hoping that there aren't any nubs left who are willing to spend the time needed to make, or update any of the bots.

wishful thinking i suppose.

[Timo]

No aimbot is temporary, but it seems that no more Yelo could be permanent :-(

[Reaper Man]

So, now that I'm back in CE, what maps do I need to get?

[Con]

snow grove, bloodgulch, and coldsnap are the top maps :|

[STLRamsFan]

it seems that no more Yelo could be permanent :-(

Yea, I liked the features it had. I hate the normal weapon placements. :(

[Con]

At least dev still works.

[InnerGoat]

Just PM kornman some porn and he'll update yelo the next day...

[Heathen]

snow grove, bloodgulch, and coldsnap are the top maps :|

Thats how it always is.

[Party_Grunt]

Thats how it always is.Kinda wish some dedicated servers wouldnt have any stock maps or those maps. Coldsnap and hugeass were fun in beta, but devastating when they overshadowed all other maps in the works at the time and for months to come.

[STLRamsFan]

Hugeass was fun at the beginning when it was not played on every single frecking server. Beta testing it was pretty fun from I remember. I also remember having a couple "mess around" type games with guys like Party, Beavis, and Legend. Those were lots of fun. Coldsnap I played a total of once and didn't enjoy it at all to be quite honest. Been getting tired of seeing everyone play the same ol' maps every single day. Whenever there's a "blast to the past" type of gameday/night I really have fun in those with the right people. Playing with guys such as Archer and Pope again a few days ago was really the most fun I had in Halo in forever..
I miss the good ol' days. :(

[Kornman00]

i prefer womenz vs womenz plox

thx

[`CaSs!~]

i prefer womenz vs womenz plox

thx

I can meet your needs.

[Bastinka]

Wat.

[TVTyrant]

Hugeass is only fun when your first get Custom Edition, because at that point you probably don't know anybody or have any idea whats going on. So your like "it has a sick name!" so you dl it and play it. Next comes Coldsnap, because your like "Omgee this one has lotza downloads!" so you DL it and play it. Then you get CMT_Snow_Grove, Z_Sanctuary, Z_Coag, and H2_Zanzibar and your like "Wow, these maps are, like, fun to play!". And then you go here and you get a bunch of maps no one plays anymore cause there supposed to be great and never get to play them.

[ultama121]

i prefer womenz vs womenz plox

thx
Do you take webcam?
I may know some people.

[TVTyrant]

Nevermind. I got it fixed =D

[StankBacon]

pretty sure there was an issue with 1.05 or something, you need to incrementally update.


i dunno tho.

I miss the good ol' days. :( Yeah I miss the days when servers actually had fucking rotations instead of 24/7 Bloodgulch of Coldsnap. Although, not gonna lie, I can play CMT_Snow_Grove almost constantly without getting bored. Reminds me of Wartorn in a lot of ways.

[NullZero]

You still have little kiddies in hpt so...

[ODX]

At least dev still works.
Obviously enough it still works. I should think Bungie would keep it for Halo Custom Edition because they made it (or Gearbox did, because they're awesome) so map makers could test their maps and fly around. Seriously, I just realized getting rid of dev is pretty much taking most of the console commands away.

[sdavis117]

The only servers (with Custom Maps) that I see up are 4 RPG_Beta_5 maps.

Then again, my map folder is small. I don't even know why RPG_Beta_5 is still in there. I just had it in there to see if it was any good.

But the SnowGrove_NoBan_24/7 (or whatever it was) and the Order of the Zombies servers haven't upgraded yet to 1.08.

[ODX]

Before I updated, I didn't see those two servers on 1.07 also. Also, you should turn on 'Show all user created maps' and even if you don't have those maps, it will show them.

He meant the alldev hack.

[ZeRk`]

HIV server has been upgraded, and it has some good playable Custom Maps. :D

[sdavis117]

Map Pack?

I only have Snow_Grove and Z_Coagulation_PB2 in my map folder. For some reason I even deleted some of the default maps, like Bloodgulch and Danger Canyon.

[StankBacon]

http://www.hivclan.net/maps/hiv_server_maps.rar <-512mb

or you can download the maps individually at http://www.hivclan.net/maps/


:o

[sdavis117]

That is probably going to make it so that HaloCE takes forever to load.

Is there anyway to get HCE to not verify every custom map when it loads?

[ZeRk`]

That is probably going to make it so that HaloCE takes forever to load.
Yeah that is so true, Bacon you should get rid of half those maps. O:

[Sel]

I just got banned from a 1.08 server for botting.

lol

BAD SELENTIC FOR YOUR OBVIOUS BOTTING. Wait.

You should be ashamed of yourself. :awesome:

You should be ashamed of yourself. :awesome:

I am :saddowns:

I played in the same server with you a few days ago. It was that TOMC mercenaries something or fucking other. What a bunch of uppity baddies.

[Cortexian]

Wow, epic fail.

[Lateksi]

I rarely go to user hosted servers anymore because of that particular reason...unless its no killing etc stuff.

Anyways, I'm very happy that they took the time to make a new patch for this old game that is owned by other company! Less cheaters, but Yelo doesn't work ;( Oh well.

[Sel]

This was not a user hosted server lol.

[The»Lucian]

Aimbots won't work for a while but sooner or later some noob is gonna beg his "dealer" to program him a new one.

I've been trying to figure out if theres any new sightjacker or sj source code lying around but I've seen nothing out there yet. :(

[Pooky]

I am :saddowns:

High five I got banned from that too! :D

I forget why though... I think I was griefing them or something :S

[NullZero]

Eh, it's possible someones already made a clickbot compatible with 1.08 :\

[StankBacon]

clickbot is worth shit with the leading... only if your host is it worth while.

So is modding and these other little gadgets you guys manage to throw out. Where has Bungie / M$ been since 2003?

I think I am sick, because I'm laughing hysterically right now, I can only image the expressions on your faces. Don't freak...GUYS. It's staying private. I can honestly say I respect the community. It will only be a matter of time until someone recompiles an updated HaloHBF. I don't think I'm THAT sick.

So this is how I spent my afternoon. A little, psychology experiment I stirred up. It went as planned. ;)

[Sel]

So you proved that halo players who give a shit about the game don't like people making aimbots and then showing them of?

That was a totally unexpected result! http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l42/selentic/Emotes/emot-downswords.gif

Care to release your sightjacker for CE? I hear the update broke rec0's version. :-3

Honestly... I think everyone here wants their sightjacker back and thats it. I believe fraps still works just fine. :)

[silentk]

I don't have one I made for CE, only Trial, but I'll see what I can do =p

[NullZero]

As long as ya don't release the bot, that's mostly fine :)

Oh, btw, your site was ddos'd (http://z9.invisionfree.com/HPT_Forums/index.php?showtopic=2565)

[silentk]

Yea, I saw. Nothing I can do about it. I don't take it personal. I just got threatend by the owner of that league. Apparently SWAT is coming to my house among other things. I chuckled.

I still have my sightjacker source from trial, I will just update the addresses and compile it tonight. It's not nearly as good as rec0's, but it will do :)

[silentk]

Alright, so I've already started recoding the CE sightjacker that you all are requesting. Features I will be including: First person sightjack, 3rd person sightjack, some sort of crosshair, d3d menu, and name of the person you are sightjacking.

Video demonstration of 3rd person sightjacker (really cool!):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6zvXEeFBBw&fmt=18

Video demo of my 1st person sighjacker + devmode for trial(ignore the manual input):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbkhkoezwXI&fmt=18

It will basically be these, plus a d3d menu for options. Any requests or input?

[Sel]

Awesome.

[The»Lucian]

Make a version for Combat Evolved too... We like making sure theres no bots as well =P

Personally I'd be fine with first person, cross hairs and maybe a wireframe.

[Evil_Monkey]

If you could possibly get a crosshair on it or even just something so we know where they are aiming would be awesome.

[Zeph]

If you could possibly get a crosshair on it or even just something so we know where they are aiming would be awesome.

center of the screen?

[Evil_Monkey]

center of the screen?
Yes but its always easier if there is something visible to show the actual center of screen.

[Heathen]

No wireframe tbh.

[InnerGoat]

rec0's had wireframe and there was no problem.

[The»Lucian]

I'd rather have a wire frame toggle since it usually becomes helpful when trying to catch people on the same team or if they're wall hacking it makes it a bit easier.

[Pooky]

If you could possibly get a crosshair on it or even just something so we know where they are aiming would be awesome.

That's something you add while editing the video.

[silentk]

Here's a test video of the first person sj in 1.08 CE and the d3d menu. I should be done with this tonite.

http://www.xfire.com/video/19533/

[InnerGoat]

Nice. :awesome:

[Patrickssj6]

heh needs more VA ;)

Nice work as always even though to make it nicer you could find the camera_control addresses that actually change the camera instead of typing the command (or did you?)

[PÕQ~NumNum]

I'd like to see an aimbot for Halo PC too. :) Trying to admin and catch aimbotters is hard. And btw, there IS at least ONE aimbot out there that still works. Have no clue what it is called but I just watched the same person for 4 days straight now bot in various servers. He'd get 7 or 8 headshot kills one right after the other in about 7 seconds and they were people from all over the map. I got on his team and stood behind him watching and saw him snapping left and right autolocking on people. I also watched him track people through walls and hills. So yes, there is still a working bot out there!

Btw, his name he uses ALL THE TIME is Stig. Watch out for him.

[The»Lucian]

If you wanna see what an aimbot looks like just look at youtube. The only bots I've seen that are set apart from the others are reduced FoV bots (don't snap as much but still do slightly and they trace) and auto-fire (player moves mouse, computer fires head shots off automatically. Very hard to ID. )

Today or tomorrow. It's pretty close to being done. I'll post another test video up in a few hours after I wake up. I was busy all night calling my web host and the police about these garbage kids.

All I gathered from the guy who kept flaming was

Is it for Custom Edition or regular Halo PC? I really need an Halo PC one. :)

Yeah. I really don't blame you. I realllllly hate HPT people.
First they were all like "PLZ DONT RELEASE U R GAY IF U REALZEE :mad:"
You say you're going to release.
"LOL WE DONT CARE WE RECORD MATCHES ANYWAYS :hellyeah:"

[The»Lucian]

I saw the video and know that more than likely it took place in either an {ASS}, The» or {PAPAs} server (both {ASS} and {PAPAs} are basically run by {ASS} anyway).

I play all three clan servers frequently and sightjack for them as well sometimes (who knows I might have this on video myself) though I thought the shaded guys though hill wall hack looks like it may be a good replacement for the wireframe if you can put that into the new sightjacker to replace it. :D

Is it for Custom Edition or regular Halo PC? I really need an Halo PC one. :)

Both. If you look at the post at bungie.net, there are four patch files: for Halo PC, Custom Edition, and the dedicated server apps.

Generally when a patch is released, it's released for both programs, since the code is essentially the same (with a couple of tweaks in Custom Edition to support custom maps)

I believe he meant a sightjacker. :-3

Today or tomorrow. It's pretty close to being done. I'll post another test video up in a few hours after I wake up. I was busy all night calling my web host and the police about these garbage kids. They think calling and threatening my family is a joke. :mad: This was all over that aimbot video. Karma's payment plan. :(

well this sucks. I was hoping you were serious about not releasing the bot publicly. Leave it up to a couple of immature HPT fucks to change that.

Anyhow, can the 'crosshair' feature on the sightjacker be toggled on/off? Just in case someone wants to make videos w/ their own crosshairs. And yeah, that 'ESP' thing would be cool to have as well. Regardless, I can see people abusing the SJ'er with all that stuff.

[The»Lucian]

People abused sightjackers wireframe and I always laughed at them when they did because they were incredibly poor shots.

I don't think the whole targeting thing is needed, just something to use against wall hackers. Then again I've grown used to centering on the screen based on where their shots hit. :eyesroll:

That's stupid, anyone dumb enough to threaten someone for that needs to get a life. Honestly, I'd be ticked off if an aimbot was actually released but I'm not that obsessed with a game that I'd risk my personal freedom. Being over an aimbot video, that's even more laughable. I wouldn't care if an aimbot was made for your own enjoyment (in the programming sense that is). Releasing it however, puts it more on the cheating side of things.
Don't blame you for reporting them. Getting threats is not funny at all.

[OmegaDragon]

The next aimbot is not far away; after I told the news about the new patch that made the current aimbots obsolete, my clan decided to play HCE and HPC again. Our server just got back up about an hour ago in HPC, and somebody joined with the name V108aimbot and said that he was in the last development stages of his aimbot and plans to release it soon. And infact, he was aimbotting and was not afraid to show it. He got banned a couple of minutes after confirmation by our server operator, and now my clan is thinking of not playing since it will obviously be a tidal wave of botters in the next couple of days.

This sucks :/

yeah...I dont know if this has been mentioned but if someone knows a fix, please PM me.

When I try to manually update it says:
A Problem occured and the game could not be updated. You can also download the latest version at bla bla bla.

When I used an Update UI it says my game is up to date. What the fuck do I do now. Please help. I will....+rep you and teleblow you...

It should go without saying, but...

because it's only a matter of time before some other programmer comes along and releases/updates one. Maybe it's a little silly that some people are getting all riled up right now, but yeah.. only a matter of time.

[StankBacon]

yah i can understand that, but worry about it when it happens, no point in getting all antsy for a sj'er right now.

[Limited]

I dont see the real point in a SJ anyway, even if a bot is out there. Unless your an admin of a server, or your watching a clan match, knowing if some one bots or not doesnt help you, yeah you know if they do or not but can do you anything about it?

Unless of course you are just nosey.

[The»Lucian]

Well if you know the admins you can tape it and let them know.:rolleyes:

Most the servers I play on I either know the admins and they ask for help sightjacking someone or I patrol a server owned by my clan. ;)

[blind]

There is no point, its a tool used by arrogant players who think they're such hot shit that nobody can touch them. The botters aren't going to stop. Theres really no point in sightjacking them and banning them because the majority of servers will not update their banlist accordingly.

[The»Lucian]

Ok first... I'm surprised you put your age on this forum as 18. I was guessing you'd be more along the lines of 13 by what you've said...


Second, I'm not the greatest shot in the world to be honest. Most the guys in my clan are waaaaay better shots than I am and there are some others I'd gladly recommend as well. Besides, its more fun to try and sneak to an enemy base for their flag... or go genereally just tick them off.

Finally, A majority of the servers don't need to update their banlist because players already prefer servers that advocate fair play and a good clean game. ;)

Considering I'd rather not argue with you as you usually ignore details others mention and act like their morons, I'll just ignore what you have to say from now on.

Have a nice Day! :)

Wake up. Where the hell have you been? The update didn't kill ALL the bots out there and the others (most of them) were retooled within 12 hours after the update. I found 3 that worked fine, today! LMFAO!! So....... yeah, we need the Sightjacker to keep the fag botters out.

[Heathen]

I found 3 that worked fine, today!
Congrats.

[PÕQ~NumNum]

Hey, I never said I was going to use them. I'm not some fuckwad cheater. It just helps to catch them if I understand how they work. As a matter of fact they're all deleted as of a couple of hours ago. So pool ME in with those retards! :) I'd like to kick the absolute shit out of a cheater.

Personal assurance. I love to troll the crap out of bot tards; the majority of them think that they're hot shit as well, and getting rid of those guys is easy. They usually resort to a "stfu and 1v1 me" mentality when they get called out (I accept, they leave, and I don't follow), get pissed off and start capsing into the chat, or try to seem all professional-like, turn it around on the other players, and then leave.

While collateral annoyance isn't preventable, I'd rather make sure I'm fucking with someone who actually deserves it.

Lmao. Whats the central hub for an aimbotting banlist? Nowhere really, I'd say HIV forums but the banlist isn't updated. And when it was being updated, there was at the most two servers that actually used that banlist. Sure, we banned some botters off Halo. Big accomplishment. But now its mostly just stupid kids who got tired of getting their ass handed to them day in and day out by better players.

Get ~> bad newb. I've been playing this game FAR longer than you have and I'm fairly positive that I would demo you.

[Limited]

Just to let you all know, there has been the command to sight jack since CE was first released. So quit being lazy and start using that instead of demanding a sight jacker. Considering the people who will make the sight jacker, are the same people who make the rest of the other hacks, aimbots and beyond.

[p0lar_bear]

Limited, using the camera control functions via developer mode is MUCH more trouble than it's worth. Matching up a player ID to a player is impossible without a hack, and if you've got the wrong guy, you have to type it in again. Then, if that person dies, you have to do it again. Again.

[ExAm]

when in the console press the up key. Retypes the last phrase you typed. Alter a couple values and you're set.

[Timo]

Either way it's still way more effort than pressing up/down or whatever to cycle views through with names ;)

Can't you apply a patch for an earlier version of the game (essentially a rollback) if the update corrupts the files?

[ExAm]

I don't think so. Reinstalling isn't hard and doesn't take long, so don't sweat it.

Or you could always just uninstall and then make better use of the disc space.

I could have yes, however I wanted to have both 1.08 and 1.07 installed at the same time, rolling back would have destroyed my 1.08. Plus I didnt knoiw where to find a 1.07 update, its just tons easy for some one to provide me with the other.

I didnt realise strings were updated though.

[supersniper]

Well if the strings were updated how can you have halo ce 1.07... wait unless you copied the whole folder but replaced the .exe and strings with the 1.07 ones?

Ding ding we have a winner :D

Although I didnt replace the strings, didnt realise I needed to :P still worked ok though.

[supersniper]

Well I copied the .exe into my root folder renamed it haloce v1.07.exe and when I load it up with the CD in (stupid 1.07) it says halo.exe corrupted...
Did you copy the whole folder over or just place the .exe in the root folder?
Because my v1.00 .exe still works and yeah those people haven't upgraded yet...

[Limited]

Copied the whole folder and replaced the exe with 1.07.

[supersniper]

Oh meh that's a lot of disk space i'll just stick to 1.0 and 1.08

[borncorp]

This patch basically allows you to play without cd, which is great. But for users that plays halo using a pirated key it wont work. After applying the patch, the user will NOT be able to access online matches or even create a match, instead, the user will see "invalid key" and will take him to the previous screen.

For all those people who are wondering what are they going to do, here is the fix.

- Download "Halo CE portable" from the usual places or search on google.
- Extract the contents using Winrar or 7zip and open the launcher. It will generate the folders and you can create the shortcuts later.
- Play freely!

By doing this you will be playing on Halo CE 1.07 and it wont update to 1.08.

I tried the 1.08, but in my opinion, its worthless to patch it, there are some AIMBOTS that works for 1.08 and there are less than 1/8 of the players that were on 1.07 version.

Well, I hope this was useful for someone

Uh sure, you could do that and then play on an old broken, loopable version of the game... Halo CE Portable doesn't work online anyways, plus, if you play it on a PC that has a ligit copy installed it will corrupt your ligit copy.

So the real solution would be to BUY the game.
