Halo 2 Anniversary is OUT! 3D fix?

[Muojo]

Hi, Got the Halo MCC collection on Tuesday and Halo 2A came out. THe game does have its bugs and I have only been able to play it for about an hour due to my busy schedule. However watching those graphics on my C6 at 4K was something else. It brought back memories and enjoyment. I never play fps anymore but this one got me again

Was wondering if there could be a fix for this since its got Steam version. I feel like a lot of us would be into this since we know how iconic that game series was to shooters

Since you have the game and the 4K 3D TV, please give it a try and let us know what it looks like to start with.

Halo 2 was an all time favorite of mine.

Would love to but I know nothing about fixing games. Where can I go to learn?

“ Would love to but I know nothing about fixing games. Where can I go to learn?”. Mate bo3bber was asking you to play some of the game in 3D and report back on how it looks not asking you to fix it yourself hehe.

Indeed. But also, if you want a good place to start- http://wiki.bo3b.net/index.php?title=Bo ... derhackers

It's all examples of DX9 fixing, but the principles are the same. In any case, Halo is DX9.

Well only played a little bit of whats available: Reach, HaloA, Halo 2A , i can say they are still as fun as I remember and the graphics on Halo 2A are spectacular on my OLED. Really nneeds that 3D treatement

I found 4 threads about Halo, but I think this is the most recent one.
In case someone didn't check discord or the blog, I posted the fix today: https://helixmod.blogspot.com/2020/12/h ... ction.html

Oh wow! That's amazing, thanks so much masterotaku!

Thanks for the integrated fix for this collection, masterotaku! Note that if one tries to run the game without either overriding or disabling EAC, the game crashes on launch.

Superb job fixing Halo MCC, masterotaku! This collection is really enjoyable - it is GREAT to experience the entire story arc of this creative franchise in full 3D. I hope Microsoft decides to release Halo 5 to PC (and a fix is possible)...

Infinite? Yeah, it's coming to PC, there's already a Steam page but I think it's DX12 - so no fix possible for now.

Infinite would be Halo 6, not 5. This is 5: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_5:_Guardians
Still a console exclusive since 2015. There's "Halo 5: Forge" for PC (some mode of Halo 5 but not the story): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/halo- ... blggh4v0fr
But it's DX12. If we ever get Halo 5, it'll probably be DX12 too, I guess.

Aaah, I stand corrected.
