Halo graphics issues

CallumMcLean1 · 01-11-2009, 03:43 AM

Hi, I'm running an iMac with decent enough specs, and I use Parallels to run windows xp on a virtual computer, which I've been using to play Halo on with no problems until now. Suddenly things like the guns and even enemies are completely invisible!! It's really annoying and I haven't changed any settings so I have no idea what's wrong. Has anyone encountered these problems before, or know what's wrong? I've tried changing the video settings.

Hi, welcome to TSF

A similar question about gaming using Parallels was posted recently here: Fallout Tactics or other PC 3D games on Mac/Parallels

See if the advice applies to you. If not, hang on for some more replies.

For things to work, and then not work, there had to of been a change of some kind. Was there an update for the game, Parralells, or the Mac OS that you installed recently? Or has anyone else used this Mac besides you?

Definately no updates for Mac OSX, actually now I come to think about it there was a parallels update, that's probably it, cheers I'll chase it up.

Ya, I'd go over to their forms and find out if the update messed things up for any others as well. If so, then I'm sure they will look into another update to iron things back out.
