I just got an update message for a Halo 1.031 update. I installed it and the no cd patch still works. I did not let it update the cracked .exe, but the offical .exe, then replaced it with the cracked one again.
I'm useing the deviance 1.03 crack. I have some friends with the.. not so legal version.. and is the only way we can play. I can give up playing in other rooms for a bit, just to play with my friends. :dance2:
Try that, read the WHOLE post and btw if u get a CD Key error i cant help u, one more thing u must have an original halo.exe to use that so get rid of the crack by reinstalling the game.
