So I accidentally bought this game again after losing it and, as expected, it's being buggy and inconsistent. For the first few time I ran it, it was able to see and connect to servers fine; now, suddenly, it won't. It either gets stuck at the "looking for servers" window or simply says, "no servers available". I know I've seen this problem before, but searching with a variety of keywords didn't come up with anything useful.

Any suggestions?

Apparently the update to GFWL has made Halo 2's game browser a bit buggy. There are a few posts about it in the Halo 1 & 2 PC forum (http://www.bungie.net/Forums/topics.aspx?forumID=2) on Bnet.

yeah here's what I do just open it up sign in and play but when yoru done just go in the LIVE menu before the browserlist and just minimize it.
unless you play other live games thsi works fine.

Well it does eat some RAM, but I was curious how dependent running H2V (in the background) is on your video card.

That's hardly a solution. If it needs to run all the time, what is the point?

...and release source code.

I had to wait a whole hour just to connect. >:(

I played the first level of the campaign.

Joined a game at coag

Was called an aimbotter (after killing one), was pretty laggy, not worth it, quit!

I hate Halo 2 online.

It takes some getting used to (at least it did for me), but once I figured out the lag time and everything, I was having fun.
