Halo 2.0.1 Updater (Universal) is Out

MacSoft released Halo 2.0.1 Updater. It will update the Universal Binary version of the original Halo for the Mac from version 2.0 to version 2.0.1. Halo 2.0 (Universal) is not to be confused with Halo 2 which is not out for the Mac. The Halo 2.0.1 Update is for the U.S. (i.e., English) version only. Download it from MacGameFiles.com.

Version 2.0.1 changes include:

• Overall performance on PowerPC Macs has been improved by up to 35% over the original Universal Binary version, depending on graphics configuration.
• Overall performance on Intel Macs has been improved by up to 25% over the original Universal Binary version, depending on graphics configuration.
• Cinematic full-screen effects run much faster.
• Now using hardware occlusion query for much faster performance when "Lens Flare" is set to High or Extreme.
• Fixed intermittent flashlight and vehicle headlight problems for all configurations.
• Flashlight and vehicle headlights fixed specifically for Intel GMA 950 video, and overall rendering much improved on Intel video.
• Fixed hanging bug when editing multiplayer game type.
