If it's shaded out then that means your Video Card doesn't support those options.

To add a bit more detail, i presume the shaders you're referring to are DX9's new 2.0 shaders, which only the newest cards support.

Also, if you have a gf4 mx, i don't think it can handle running Halo in full detail, not unless you've got a beast of a processor beneath it.

Even the processer would't help. Try adding -use11 to your target line

for best Framerate results, use -useff

Ive heard conflicting report as to whether use11 or useff gives better fps, I suggest using 1.1 shaders as that makes everything look better.

Smoke_Nova

I used to do -use11. I got 5-6 FPS on the opening level of the Ringworld.
I switched to -useff last night, 15-30 FPS same level.

Is -use11 or -use44 supposed to be in the command line? If it is do I need to add the console first? like \Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -console?

Liku

No... just add it to the end of the Target Line in the Icon.

So...

...\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -useX
