armor colors

[ToAsTy (CaptObvious)]

since i installed halo on my computer about a week ago, everyone in game has whitish/grayish armor on. theres no red and blue. ive never had this problem before when i used to play halo but only recently when i intalled it to start playing again. any suggestions or fixes?

[BFM_Thunder]

using a computer with integrated graphics? or using a card?

if you are using a card then i could say check for driver updates.

What Windows OS?

If not XP, then you need to set Halo to "run as administrator" and to run in "XP compatibility mode."

im running on XP and i have all the updates for it as well as my the updates for my graph card

have you uploaded a Skin before and not uninstalled it?

[ToAsTy (CaptObvious)]

no ive never got any skins or mods for halo

[$olo]

All I can suggest then is Uninstall and do a complete Clean Re-install and see if that clears it

[MrMxyzptlk]

BEFORE doing un/reinstalls, try adding " -useff" (note space BEFORE characters) at the end of the "Target" line in the shortcut you use to run Halo and let me know what happens.

[ToAsTy (CaptObvious)]

the useff thing didnt work, still all white armor

Lemming needs to wash her armor better.

Is the color as it is both close and far or only far away?

going by the pics.. im just wondering but.. what is the gfx card u use? i had those exact same colors happen when i used to play world of warcraft and it happened when i was using a GFX card that couldnt handle the gfx of the game..... that was way before i got my 5770 ... also have u tried going into ur settings and turning off things such as shadows.. specular.. 3d sound.. stuff like that. pretty much dull it down to bare minimum settings.. and see what happens.

Ahem, but I think this thread is about ToAsTy's "colorless armor" problem....

ToAsTy, I think you should run the Windows multimedia diagnostics program and make sure your graphics come out correctly:

0) Start -> Run

1) enter "dxdiag" (without the quotes) and then <Enter> key.

2) Select the "Next Page" button once it's done loading. If the box at the bottom of the "DirectX Files" tab says "No problems found", then select the "Next Page" button. (If not, post what it says there.)

3) On the "Display" tab, assure that the first line in the bottom box says "No problems found," and that all the following (all that are listed there) are ENABLED:

DirectDraw Acceleration
Direct3D Acceleration
AGP Texture Acceleration

4) Select the "Test DirectDraw" button and follow the instructions.

5) Select the "Test Direct3D" button and follow the instructions.

6) Dismiss the DxDiag utility via the Red X in the upper-right corner of the window.

Post any finding here, pls.

[ToAsTy (CaptObvious)]

everything else has no problems and is enabled except for AGP texture acceleration it says not available

Halo Combat Evolved (aka "PC)

or

Halo CE?
