(PC) Playing Halo PC on newer Windows (Tutorial) - xSicKxBot - 11-14-2018 Playing Halo PC on newer Windows System: PC Description Halo PC is still alive and kicking. Been finding a lot of cool stuff but for now, I'll start off with How to play Halo PC on your newer Windows computer (Windows 10 for me). Preface: I'll be updating this with more info in the future as I'm going through this process. Finding different tweaks to things such as 60 FPS (only for CE though). Getting Halo PC to run on Windows 10 Requirements Halo PC Halo PC 1.10 patch Steps Install Halo PC Before you run Halo PC, you MUST install the patch. [Optional] If you still can't play, right click on the shortcut or the exe file and go to properties. Click the compatibility tab and try running it in the different versions of Windows. I do believe the 1.10 patch makes it so you don't need this step but just in case, it's here. That's it. Make sure you go into your settings > video settings and set the appropriate resolution since it starts in 800x640 lol. You'll probably want to choose "No VSYNC" as well. You can now go to the Match Making and click Get List to see all of the servers that are currently running. My modded server (eventually) If/when I get time, I plan on putting up a modded server and I'll post the instructions here on how to connect to it. My old server would have maps that had hidden portals across the map that would teleport you either to the top of the map, or high in the middle of the map and let you fall to your death lol The ones that brought you up to the top would have snipers and rocket launchers all laid out with Ghosts and Warthogs up there so you can move around the map quicker. There is also other portals at the top to let you come back down to the map. I would love to get those all going again...might have to wait and see if my father in law happened to have backed all my stuff up to DVD's since I would always use his stuff to back my files up with and my one external that had all the stuff on it accidentally got wiped. Found some information on the CD Key. If you ever need to find, back up, or possibly change if you can decrypt, you can find the Halo PC Key path in your registry: In Cortana search: regedit Find this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Halo Look for DigitalProductID Feel free to export it to back it up. You will need a program to decrypt it so if I find a free one, I'll post it here.
