Halo 2 does indeed have issues with the bloom system.

anyway i can fix this problem??

Make sure you have up-to-date video card drivers. I'm sure you can find something at laptopvideo2go.com (think that was the URL).

yeah what if it donesn't say what my video card is.

i dont think halo 2 vista works that well on a 2.2gz laptop with a unkown video card but for some reason my unkown video card works great with half-life2

try running dxdiag and have a look.

hmm

it says my processer is a.....
intel core 2 duo cpu t7500 2.20GHz

memeory:
2046mb RAM
as for video card.
there is none but when i go to display it says nivida geforce. g600m GS

if you want i can pots another topic that includes my systems settings

your integrated video card doe's not even meet h2v's minimum requirements.
That would be why you are having issues.

not true really.
i had the same issue and i have the newest G-Force Card (wich costed for mor than half my cp <_<) but i fixed my dad helped me fix the issue.

how did you fix it??

sorry to douable post but the vista upgrade advisor said that my type of laptop or vista does not support vista.


well ill just have to learn with the flashing skyboxes,spartens and elites and other stuff.

in the mean time ill have to wait for microsoft to relarse a patch to fix this which will luckily be in the new new new!!!!! vista service pack

most likley there will be no patch idk how i did it cause he did it i just asked if he could take a look and he fixed it. sry i wish i could help but i have no knowlege of this. and my dad probably wont remember since this was when h2v came out.

the minimum requirement for running h2v is a radeon x1300.

yes microsoft did say they will fix alot of things with vista once the

windos service pack 1 comes out

With vista not with halo 2 vista.

On the top you posted your graphics card is an 8600 gs? How does that not meet the minimum requirements? check again people.

I have basicly the same laptop besides i have the geforce 8600 gt and i can play halo 2 at the fullest settings with not even a hint of lag. But i was suprised that someone was having the same problems with flashing. It does not flash bad in game besides the emblum on the arm but never the less it plays superb.

My laptop supports vista though so thats not the problem. Its an Asus gaming version laptop and it came with vista from the manufacturer. I even updated to the latest bios and graphics card drivers. No errors or problems detected in Dxdiag. And the flashing causes no glitches or lag.

I'm gonna do some more research on this. I'll let you know what i come up with jackson.

if you had read my previous comment the problem is a issue with halo2's bloom system it was also in halo 2 xbox.

I'm not looking for the problem, i already know that, i'm looking for a solution. In my opinion the geforce 8600 gt should have no problems like this.

There is no solution if the original xbox had the issue and the h2v still has it then there are no solutions.

I do not have the problem on my other computer. Maybe we're not talking about the same thing. My graphics card in my other computer is an ati 1950 pro x2 on crossfire.

I'm gonna call Dr. Who on you.
