Halo Online El Dewrito Launcher version 0.4.7 released - Server Browser, VOIP, Direct Connect, and in game text chat.

Hi guys,

Firstly, El Dewrito is a launcher for a mod of an alpha version of a free-to-play Halo game in Russia called Halo Online. If you think you can pirate a free-to-play game, then do as you will (mods, lock the topic, do wtv, up to you). 

El Dewrito aims to basically make it Halo 3 online for PC as it has all the Halo 3 assets (maps, guns, and such) along with some Halo Reach stuff too (such as sprint), and make it available to the US & EU (since Halo Online is currently only available in Russia).

I'm not going to post a news thing every time a new update comes out. This is just a one-off to let people know it exists since this update adds some fairly good features (mentioned in the title).

Note that Medals & the Announcer were in 0.4.6, but were removed in 0.4.7 to be fixed and will be re-added later. Note also that this is obviously alpha-esque stuff, but the basic Halo stuff works. You can play games against each other. The features may be buggy. 

0.5 will have some other stuff:

  • Updated Forge and HTML Menu
  • Sprint Toggle for servers/games (Sprint affects makes like Guardian in a negative way)
  • Stats server (so you can see your KDR, among other things)
  • Other stuff I don't know about yet. 

Here are the links to the files you need:
Halo Online Files - https://mega.co.nz/#!NFwkQIwL!3tQ1QNKb_mQs1a7MKloSlkD9SbPlmZALS3zH7fez1tc
 
^ That is a torrent file, so you'll need a torrent program, I prefer qbittorrent. The download is 2.0GB. Seed if you can.

El Dewrito Launcher - https://github.com/FishPhd/DewritoUpdater/releases

Unreleased Builds (for the first adopters/experimenters) for the Launcher - https://ci.appveyor.com/project/emoose/eldorito/build/artifacts

Here is how to install it, from one of the developers (FishPhd):



Here is some gameplay of me playing it as an example:


Do these things at your own risk. The community at https://www.reddit.com/r/HaloOnline is where you can see about new updates as a sort of "developer log" and here is the IRC channel for that community.
 
If you want to host your own games, you need these ports open: 11775​​, 11774​​, & 9987
 
Note that people have mentioned that this update has caused some FPS drops in their game (even on beefy hardware), whereas before this, they didn't have this issue. YMMV. It will probably be fixed in the next update.

Also note that Fullscreen doesn't work properly with ultrawide/eyefinity setups. Running it in Windowed mode fixes this.

Enjoy. :) I'll be playing this a bit.

Tilde (~) for console, as usual. Caps Lock for VOIP (you can change it in the launcher VOIP settings).

I've been following this since the beginning and it's absolutely amazing how far this has come.

 

I've been needing a Halo fix on PC for a while and until Microsoft brings updated Halo to PC then this will fill that void.

 

See you all online!

What the fuck? This is definitely in the wrong section. Also, pretty sure it is illegal. You can pirate free to play games.

Kinda sad that some third party has to get the ball rolling on this. Meanwhile Microsoft continues with empty promises of supporting PC gaming.

Ehhh. Tech news. It's news about technology. The mods will move it if they feel it's that out of place.

Apparently Halo Online wasn't going to be released beyond Russia. I could be wrong, but that's what I've read. 

Sad indeed.

I refuse to understand why MS won't put Halo on PC. There are plenty of people who would buy it. Probably a lot that won't buy an xbox just to play halo, so.....it would be profit.

 

Not to mention the possibility of people buying it a second time to get a better experience than they did on their console. (that is, if MS didn't give us the shittiest port ever, which knowing them.....probably very likely)

Well the devs that are working on the Halo Online for PC isnt 3rd party, they have worked on the Halo titles perviously.

Interesting , we have a new competitor for the Game Chatting business ... 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

I just don't understand why they will not do an English/Global release of this. Do they not see how huge it could be?

 

I'd rather wrestle my way into the Russian servers than play like this though.

Currently this is only RUSSIA closed beta. I was probs the first on here to play the game. It will be OPEN to all when they are finished.

 

The port is shiity to be honest, its really good. Works well, they have been fixing a lot of bugs, there is not much I can talk about due to NDA but lets say its going to be a awesome port :)

A few weeks ago there was an FAQ on the official website that I think mention that it COULD be released elsewhere but was still set only for russia.

They're terrified of losing XBOX sales, even though the majority of PC gamers would never bother buying a console just for a single game or game series. 

They're certainly being idiots about it, and probably fail to even recognise Steam sale numbers alone.

Hell if Halo gets a max of 4 million sales that easily rivals the XBOX One console launch alone.

Amazes me how you aren't actually considering the fact they're developing this purely to sell microtransactions. If you take that away by modding it without their permission it's pirating.

Unfortunately that's an engine limitation. Like with Dark Souls 1. It messes with Vehicle Physics to go over 60 FPS.

We have taken the portion of the game they've freely given and are playing it. I fail to see that as piracy.

Here's a thought: I live in Russia. I download the game. I play it for 100's of hours. I never get a single microtransaction.

Have I pirated the game?

Its a bit hard to outright say this is piracy. Its still only confirmed for russia so its not like they're actually selling anything to any of us that aren't in russia.

Woah, been curious about the development of this. Last I looked I couldn't really find anything but I didn't try really hard and my Googlefu isn't what it should be. Gonna give this a try later. :D

I really want it to get big enough for there to be enough Oceanic interest. Would love to finally get back to Halo.

Sorry but that is how EVERY free 2 play game works, this games launch was originally only planned for Russia for PC, modders said "Fuck that we want to play it in other parts of the world" Which brought about the launcher to enable online play.
