So i bought Halo 2 Vista (works on windows 7) A few Months ago. The game lags alot! Cut scenes do not lag very much, but actual shooting and just plain walking around is lag. And the online lag is even worse. My current specs are- Windows 7 Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80 GHz RAM: 2 gigs System type: 32-bit Operating system Graphics- NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS What do you guys think I need?
I can run the game on my sisters laptop fine, and the specs are quite a bit less than that processor wise. I'm going to guess you've lowered the graphics settings accordingly too, or thats where your problem lies. Perhaps you're running too much in the background while the game is playing. Try shutting off a few of the background programs before continuing.
I have the same problem with Halo 1 PC. Try running it offline for campaign or use an Administrator account on the computer. Or make an account on your computer specifically for Halo 2. And Halo 2 Vista works on windows 7?
