Performance Tweaks begin appearing
One of the 'under the hood' changes in the 1.03 Halo PC patch is that Anisotropic filtering is enabled by default. This is a function of higher-end video cards, and it makes the graphics crisper... at a pretty big price, performance-wise.

It'll walk you through disabling the feature. (Louis Wu 21:41:04 UTC) (permalink)

Sorry for the delay! (Louis Wu 19:36:48 UTC) (permalink)
