Well i just 'got' the new maps and 1.5 update. So following the instructions i placed the '4c004' thingy in the correct T-Data folder. Then i put the $u in the $u folder (update, downloader and the other thingy). Before this i had the halo 2 multiplayer map pack installed (all 9 DLC maps) and the 1.1 update installed and it worked perfectly. Now i started up halo 2 and everything was fine until it got to the start screen. I saw no 1.1 update at the bottom left corner of the screen. So then i reset and went to the unleashX explorer and i manually opened up the update and it said dirty disc error. Now my halo 2 disc is in pretty good condition (only a very few scratches). So i tryed putting the orginal update back on (ripped halo 2 multiplayer map pack to my computer and sold the disc). It still gave me a dirty disc error. I tryed putting the different updates on the xbox again with and without the cache cleared but it still didnt display the 1.1 at the bottom right corner of the school and manually launching the update didnt work. Please someone help me cause its really bugging me. and no for me patching the main-menu isnt an option.
not quite sure what's going on, but if I was to guess this is one of those topics that you shouldn't ask about here... But if not, I suggest deleting your halo content and redownloading them from xbox live... for free... because you should have... already... bought them?!?!?!?!?
