HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Alright, so I have a legit copy of Halo 2 Vista, and I installed it on XP using the wowloader. I installed it just fine, my windows live account works perfectly, campaign can run, I have the newest updates, and I can browse the multiplayer server list..

However, when I try to join a server, or create a server, I get this message:




Am I putting this thing in right, or what?



I've been reading around and plenty of people have it working, but it just doesn't seem to want to work for me.
Edit:
Yeah, doesn't work on XP, contrary to websites I looked at earlier before I got the game claiming it worked on XP.. I hate the internet.

hence the reason i "upgraded" to vista... wish it actually worked on xp from the start, but i suppose it was a way to get people to buy thier crappy OS.

Yea thats the problem

JK when I put h2v on XP, I could not load any MP maps, the screen would just go black. I don't think you can play MP maps on XP for some reason.

Halo 2 for Windows is not meant to run on XP. Its a vista only game.

I think that was concluded before it come out. Upon announcement actually. But that's not what he's here for. Everyone knows that.

JK, you could always try dual booting..?

Sham since xp is still living

It was a quick change, but as I have heard it was Built, Debugged, Developed on XP for the most part. Then it was ported and stablized on vista.
