do you have 32 bit color on?

Also, does Halo tell you that your craphics card isn't supported when you start it, and then forces you to run it in safe mode?

If that's the case, then you're out of luck. Try setting your video color mode to 32 bit, and if it still crashes, you just can't use Sapien without physically upgrading your computer.

Yes I have 32 bit turned on and im running 2 nvidia 7800 pcie graphics cards. Its not crashing my computer its just not fully opening it starts sits there for 3 to 4 seconds then dissapers the process just stops.

Ok ive built the map again and again and even reinstalled Hek thinking that the problem was sapien. But it dosnt seem to be. It seems to be tool.exe. When I compile and it finishes it gives me a kb total without debug information of 85 kb. But when I look at the sceneario itself its only 2kb and the bsp is 95kb . So when it compiles its not doing something correct or im not. Dose anybody have anyidea.

ya i no but for one its in the weapons folder. I only modified it by switching the projectile. Then once I realized that maybe a problem. I got my copy of weapons and deleted the other one and put that one in renaming it. Still the same results.

if you simply swapped a the PP projectile, you don't need to make a new itmc tag for it.

Open your scenario in Guerilla and re-reference the original plasma pistol itmc tag.
