Entity on Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Edition?

Post by DrXThirst »

Well, I decided that I might want to mod Halo 2 again and I remembered a while back people were having problems opening Entity with Halo 2 Vista. I tried opening Entity, and it worked, but crashed when I tried using the BSP Viewer.

I also remember doing the SP-MP BSP Conversions with early releases of H2Core and H2Guerilla... they took alot of processing power and RAM so I would need to disable a few things to make it work... even then it might take an hour to do a conversion. However, now with the i7 and DDR3, I don't think I'll have much of a problem there... except for getting them to run. If anyone has any suggestions to offer, I would greatly appreciate it... this is something I'd really like to get back into...

(Yes, I'm I_F now.)

Thanks!

Entity works find on Vista, but not on x64... From what I have heard, the only Entity that will run on a x64 bit OS successfully is Entity Alpha 1. Although, if it crashes when you try and open the BSP Viewer, try updating your DirectX. H2 Core and Guerilla should work on x64 fine. Make sure to turn off Aero when using them or disable desktop composition in their properties to avoid the glitchy menu bar.

Alright. I'm going to keep trying all versions of Entity until one of the newer ones works, though.

Damn, my computer is too good. haha.
