NOTE: PROVIDE AS MANY DETAILS AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. We can't read your mind
or your computer's.

What did the Exception Report say (if this was on Windows)? Include Fault
Executable Name and Offset.
None.

What steps will reproduce the problem? If this happened in a command line
program, GIVE US THE COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS YOU USED!
1. Install OpenSauce as Admin
2. Run HaloCE
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect Halo to run, it doesn't run at all and instead tells me I need DirectX 
9.0b installed to run this program.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.09 CE, latest opensauce (3.03?) from halomods.com. Halo will not even open. 
However, when I remove d3d9.dll it will run fine.

I have also tried reinstalling CE, the latest DirectX (tells me I'm already 
updated), and older versions of opensauce have worked fine for me.

Please provide any additional information below. E.g. PC specs

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz

Right click the CE shortcut that you use to launch the game and say "Open file 
location". With the new explorer window open, look for the file named 
"d3d9.dll". Right click it and select "Properties". In the window that pops up, 
click on the "Details" tab.

What are the values for the following keys?
File version
Product version
Size
Date modified

And by older versions of OS, do you mean *both* 3.0 and 3.0.1?

I don't know what version it was, and I don't have the dll anymore, but it 
wasn't 3.0. I downloaded off a modacity link; I'll find it if I can. It had an 
f7 menu, and still had the vehicle fov option, which didn't do anything.

Also, when I installed 3.0.1 about a month ago, it gave me the same error so it 
would have been an earlier version.

Found a working version. It was at

It was OpenSauce 2.0, and I also found another user with the same problem, 
although they never seemed to have fixed it.

I know I have the c++ redistributable and stuff, I have MSVS 2010 pro installed 
with the proper runtimes.

*A lot* has changed from the old 2.0 to what's in use today. Typically, the 
error about DX 9.0b is actually because OS, which is acting like d3d in the 
eyes of the game, fails to launch.

We don't develop OS with VS2010, we do it with 2008. Make sure you have the 
proper runtimes associated with 2008 and try again. Without further crash 
details, that's the only thing I can think of as why it's failing to load, an 
unresolvable dependency.
