Halo 1.00.10 update is officially released! *Manual Update*

[A§H»Asi]

These links are directly from Bungie and the halo fixes forum but with more explanation given:

Halo PC 1.00.10

Halo CE 1.00.10

These are the two update programs for Halo PC and Halo CE. They work just like any other update, download the exe, and click run. 1.00.10 does not support HAC 2 just yet though, so you'll have to remove it in order to load Halo up (this is done my removing loader.dll from the controls folder from both games). It also doesn't work with opensauce just yet, but it does work with Halo anti text lag.

From what I can tell, on May 29th, this will be a forced update for Halo, for now it is manual. That means that at this moment there are not many servers on the updated Halo at the moment as they are all still migrating. Also, I believe that SAPP is either finished or close to being finished by sehe and Phasor will see an update soon (if it hasn't already, the halofixes forum is not too neat and I have not seen anything to signify it has been).

(In addition, I'm not entirely sure what the update will do to pirated keys, we'll just have to see.)

Official patch notes by Sawnose:

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 "."

The Gamespy-replacement server will soon gain support for authenticating CD keys, allowing server operators to create meaningful ban files to keep out griefers (who could otherwise easily create a new online ID). This feature is still in testing and is not yet active.

Bungie is one of the few game producers that have done something like this about the Gamespy server shut down, and they deserve a huge thanks from the Halo community.

Long live Halo

On a pessimistic side note, if things go wrong, a backup plan would be handy :p

I'll just wait till it forced me to do automatic update. I wouldn't want to not be able to use HAC 2. Anyways this is good news

Its nice to try it out, but yeah, I understand your reasoning :p . Also, it is a rare oppurtunity to see a majority of English speakers haha, I met a role-playing CE clan yesterday.

Cool, but like others I'll wait until it is absolutely necessary. Amazing to see another official Halo patch after all of these years

HAC 2 is now updated for 1.00.10.

You can see all the other versions now too.

There used to be a ton of role playing clans in CE. I played with a few of them, good times!
