Halo: The Master Chief Collection PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
So i have 3 versions that I've pruchased from the microsoft store.
One is just master chief collection, which i can launch. Menu pops up to say 'Halo: The Master Chief COllection' and then just stays there. Nothing happens
The other just says halo reach which clicking launch on it does nothing, then the other is MCC which just says manage
Nothings working

MS Store always has problems, dunno why you didn't get it on Steam
Check to see if there's a separate sign-in window on your taskbar when the game hangs in the beginning.
It's not related to versions at all. Having the problems on Steam.
Yeah, I have the same thing.
I use GamePass on PC and when I click on Play on Halo MCC's page, GamePass window minimises and nothing happen. Tried starting another game, it works.
Of course, I restarted my PC, updated drivers yada yada and it happen on 2 differents PCs...
Yeah, it doesn't work through the app. Start it from the start menu.
Well Atleast now i realised its because i have to actually download the full game
And now the game in the microsoft store is downloading at an absolutely MASSIVE......2.7kb/s.
How.
Damn... will wait for patches. MS Store is VERY slow for me anyway, it will take ages to download, never had this problem.
Audio cracking problems, but rendering at 6880x2880 on a 3440x1440 gsync monitor and running fine with 60 fps limit. [7700k 1080ti steam version controller]
So, had a hour with the campaign which is quite fun (never played Reach's before) but 3 issues are negatively noticable and annoying and hope they can be adressed soon.
I'm going through it in coop with a friend with and he can confirm my issues with his ultra pc and he has a similiar experience.
1. Whenever the characters speak over the radio the quality is pretty terrible. Sounds like from a early 2000 microphone. You also can't turn that down.
2. The fps goes quite down in certain situations even though the gpu utelisation is very low (e.g. in a situation when the dropship came). It also never seems to fully utelise the pc to keep 144fps all the time.
3. The input still feels a bit delayed but this might be just how the game works.
4. Despite high framerates (if it doesn't dip badly) the game does not feel great at times. Unlocked fps is probably really bugged and I will try out the 60fps lock next time.
The game itself however aged quite well, I'm still impressed with the amount of opponents and how unforgivable they are in the hardest difficulty. Gotta be a nice fun challenge after playing Gears 5 on insane.

Windows store version via Game Pass, I can't seem to go above 120fps even with vsync off. Appears to be locked?
Also the frame pacing feels way off. This game is not smooth at all.

runs great for me (steam), but sound issues.
tried using my AirPods with my computer and just had like a white noise sound.
swapped for my wired Bose headphones and had audio cutting out and in every minute or so. I could pause and wait a minute and it'd come back
im sure there will be a patch with how widespread things seem. Oh well, maybe RDR2 will work on Thursday? (lol)

That did the trick, thanks!
Very surprised that it can hold 60fps on performance mode on my old i2500k PC.

Reach basically stays at 144fps @ 1440p no matter what.

I cannot get this to launch even though I have it installed through Game Pass. I click play and nothing happens.
It was same thing for me. Go through the start menu to launch it.
At least the audio issue is mentioned on the Known Issues page: https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037448411
I wish. I'm at like 100-150, but GPU utilization bearly reaches 50%. Would prefer a locked 165, but I have G-Sync. Fullscreen or borderless makes no difference.
Latest drivers. Gonna try a higher res.
Yes, audio is trash.
*steam version
edit -
4k through DSR and GPU utilization is around 50-70% and core speed is maxing out so sweating a bit more, 100-150 fps from a short test session. Maybe my 6700k is getting long in the tooth. I'm in no rush to play since the audio needs work so we'll see.

Bad input lag/headshot lag. This game needs some work.
Btw how in god's name do I actually type to my teammates in-game? I can toggle the text in the lobby, but can't seem to do it in game.

I find that, with G-Sync enabled, 60fps is actually smoother than 120fps because of the stuttering that occurs at times when reaching higher framerates than 60.
You've actually never been able to crouch while moving in Halo, but I do agree that it feels odd when playing with keyboard and mouse. It's pretty much unnoticable with a controller however, in my experience at least. ;)

Yeah :/ Wonder what's up with that. I recall hearing somewhere all of the Halo games on the MMC will support HDR. Maybe i read wrong i dont know.
Game Pass version.
Yeah something isn't right. GSync isn't working. I tried all manner of Vsync on/off, Low latency off/ultra, fullscreen, windowed. Nothing works. On original or enhanced, the framerate drops noticeably when moving the mouse around. On original, the framerate goes from 180 -> 140 just by moving the mouse. On performance mode, there doesn't appear to be much of an impact.
The only way I can get the game to feel reasonably smooth is on performance mode with vsync off completely, where I get around 300 fps at 1080p.
This is with:
Core i7 6700K
RTX 2070 Super (441.41 drivers)
1080p 144Hz Gsync monitor

Something is definitively wrong with my performance, on a 1060 at 1080p I'm hovering anywhere from 120fps with hard drops to 40's and 50's for no apparent reason, GPU utilization almost never goes over 40%, set my nvidia settings to max performance, nothing, still the same shit, really disappointing for a 10 year old game.
Apparently not. I thought that was one of the touted features but it looks like you need to do it through drivers/DSR/etc.
There is an internal scaler but it caps at 100%. It only seems to appear when you have Borderless Windowed selected.
Oh, weird. I've been playing full screen so I guess that explains it, weird that it caps at 100% though.
So how am I supposed to play at 4K with 200% resolution scale bro.
Having played little Halo in the past, I gotta say, I hate how you can't crouch at will. I just got done marathoning the old Half-Life games and hilariously, those games feel and control way better.
Doesn't seem to. I just tested it at 5120x2880 on a 1440p monitor and it looks like the UI fills the same space as it does on native res.
hi guys.
can't seem to make the game go above 60fps. vsync off, framerate set to unlimited.
2080ti, 1440p.

Are you running the steam or the xbox app version?
I remember Forza Horizon 4 having problems with my multi monitor setup where it would always apply Vsync unless I disabled the second monitor.
