Can't run halo on my new pc
« on: July 03, 2018, 12:42:36 AM »
My new pc doesn't have a cd/DVD drive.

So I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to install it from my old computer to the new one.

Tried USB transfer.  Kept saying some Direct 3d error.

If anyone had trouble with this before or knows of any solution, much appreciated.


Maybe a file share transfer from computers?

Would an external cd drive work?

An external CD drive should work. Otherwise, you could install a cheap CD drive on your computer. I've just got a cheap $19 one in my computer. I think you have to connect two wires to get it to work.

So I wasn't using the Nvidia HDMI, but the Microsoft basic display one lol.

Now that I'm on NVIDIA.... works fine.

Here's a tip. Play less skillfully. Remember Timberland?  :o

Lol, what about Timberland.

I still don't know if he is kidding or not.

For future reference.......

If you install HALO PC & you are running Razer Synapse 2 or 3 try disabling Synapse. I recently had a memory error message (among some other issues) & disabled it.  Halo came right on after that. I am still running the rig I built when I was here. Just replaced a few parts but still using a Core i7 1st gen. CPU LOLZZZZ.

Good addendum, I just located by copy and do have 3.0 installed. Will at least not be surprised if I get hit by that.

Thanx Benjy for the awesome Siggy!


Thanks TH-7 Erik! Love it!
