![]() ![]() Microsoft finally pushed me off of the Windows platform for good with this stunt and GWX. (I do regret not starting refusing to do this sooner.) I was still foolish enough to do volunteer work on other peoples’ Windows computers at that time, even after what Microsoft did to me as a fan of the first Halo game. Others were probably playing Counter-strike Source and TF2. So I went and played other games, like Tremulous and Urban terror, games that ran on Windows, Mac and Linux, and I forgot all about Halo 2 for the PC. DirectX is a collection of APIs which allows an application to access the system hardware along with the option to configure these for best performance. DirectX 12 is the latest version of DirectX, and it is available only in Windows 10. On these machines, a vista upgrade would have been a performance downgrade. And since it plays a major role, users have been looking for ways to download DirectX 12 in Windows 11. It just wasn’t a compelling deal!Īlso worth noting that many systems that would have otherwise run Halo 2 were hardware-limited to only 1 or perhaps 2GB of memory. Being smarter than to pay $200 for an unnecessary OS upgrade, only to then wind up needing an accompanying memory upgrade too because Vista ran poorly in 1 GB, (which was blissful on XP), just to play an at the time 3 year old game which was originally designed for a six year old piece of hardware, (Xbox) I passed. Many of us were really looking forward to the PC version.
