One other fix that may help you if DirectDraw fails: changing your registry settings. If acceleration is disabled, grab DXCpl from this thread and use it to re-enable hardware acceleration. You can check by running DXDiag and looking under the first Display tab. It's possible (but unlikely) that hardware acceleration is actually disabled on your computer. Even if you're not using Surround, though, you might see the same error. Best I can tell, this is an issue with Surround that I couldn't fix. It suggested hardware acceleration might be disabled. Running a multi-GPU setup on the Large Pixel Collider with Nvidia Surround, I ran into an error: the game wouldn't boot because it had trouble initializing DirectDraw. Booting the game will probably go off without a hitch for you, but it's possible you'll have trouble launching it. While the occasional random element can make it harder to come up with a plan, you can master most of what Cursed Halo throws at you if you put in the effort and are willing to let go of traditional Halo habits.Halo PC should run properly on either Windows 7 or Windows 8. A lot of the things the mod changes are things that stay consistent throughout the game, such as the new behaviors weapons and vehicles have. As someone who has played Halo games since I was a kid, it's interesting having the game's rules completely and utterly broken like this because it forces me to relearn how to play. It's impossible to try and list everything that the mod changes, but just know this: Cursed Halo is an apt name for the project, and anyone thinking that it will play like normal Halo: Combat Evolved has a rude awakening coming their way.ĭespite the absurdity, though, I actually think the mod is fairly compelling. Grenades have randomized explosions sometimes, harmless confetti will come out of them, while other times, they'll explode with the force of a thousand suns.
For example, enemy Banshees flap their wings like birds as they fly around, and many Grunts and Elites don pink armor and shoot heat-seeking hearts from their Plasma Pistols and Rifles. Put simply, the Cursed Halo mod turns every weapon, vehicle, and enemy in the game into something that's either useless, overpowered, wildly unpredictable, or just downright silly.
