When will "on hold" be continued?
(formatting killed my thread's title, sorry)

So... there is no official "we are done" about this game. But I am not sure if there ever will be. Currently the trainers are put "on hold" because of the frequent updates and the huge amount of work every single one put on you. Totally understandable.

The last real update was in February 2024, but it was a self-procclaimed "small patch" and "the primary goal of this update was to Improve Halo 2 Classic hit registration and projectile speed in online multiplayer matches". So, MP-only fix for balancing.

Before that, the previous Update was almost a year ago in September 2023. Also a small one concearning mod compatibility only - but that one might have broken stuff, propably.

The last "full" update was published in July 2023, over a year ago.

So, I just wondered: Will trainer developement for this game ever be resumed and if yes, what has to happen?
I am not impatient, I have no problem with waiting for another year or two. I just wondered if there is any guideline or any event that I could report to you so that this game could finally be supported again.

You are doing great work and this post is meant as a helpful offering. Please don't read it as whining or impatience! Thank you for all your hard work!

reach out to the trainer maker to see if they would want to take this off of hold.

couple things

the "collection" is like 7 or 8 games..
it's a pain to update because they don't all rely on the same "game engine", it's a series of game .dll's that are all basically a uniquely coded game
game "updates" therefore are individual, not the entire "collection"
game updates also when the developers compile .dlls, can change drastically the opcodes AND the offsets of variables as well a function structures. What does this mean? Updates, for the most part, are like completely starting over... the whole game. complete rewrite

The game collection is OLD. It's not priority. And it is and was a time consuming affair where they continue to "update" over and over? And why is this? MOSTLY for multiplayer update reasons...

At any rate, we will discuss this internally to see if and how and what sort of time resources we can put towards this.

Whatever we decide, if we move forward, just note that it's highly likely THE VERY FIRST update they put out will break 1/2 the games yet again, all over...

best,
