Halo Infinite PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
I'm on an old ass GTX 1070 and i5 4670K. Uninstalling the textures was a HUGE help. It's not stopping all of the frame drops, but if it does drop it feels less stuttery and way more bearable than before.
If your game is stuttering really badly, check to see if there's only one instance running.
Its possible to launch multiple instances of the gamepass version of Halo Infinite (not sure about Steam version). I realised this when I turned on my speakers, there was an echo doubling effect.
To check : Hover your mouse cursor over the Halo icon in the taskbar.
8 instances! (just for giggles) :

Yeah it helps with any card
There seems to be something wrong with having the HD texture pack installed that tanks performance, even if you set textures to low in the settings.
im also on a 1070. Uninstalled HD textures as I've got everything set to high except shadows/lighting/reflections for like almost 60fps
I tried it and yes it's pretty noticeable, man-made materials especially look really blurry and nasty. I didn't see any performance improvement either so redownloaded them.

Yeah, my game was running notably worse than last night. I also wondered why there was constantly music playing in the background, but no biggie. My volume was very low anyway. After a while I quit the game. The "press start" menu is still there.... What the fuck?
I had two instances running.

For some reason this happens to me from time to time. Really weird.
Also noticed the first time due to the dual audio.
This was happening to me on multiplayer. I think it was because I was double clicking the gamepass icon
10 GB, 3080. I'm running at 83% of 4K, so roughly 1800p because 4K just can't hit a consistent minimum 60 FPS in the open world.

I've done this multiple times lol.
so i got to the open world and i wouldn't say it's fallen to shit but it's definitely worse than before. whereas before i was getting ~100fps now i'm getting 60-90 fps, averaging 75-80. definitely not as smooth as the opening parts of the game
5700xt has the most aweful bug imaginable - it shuts down my whole PC.
And before anyone says anything - it's not a PSU issue, not a driver issue, not an overheating issue... I monitor such things really well.
It crashes (simply shuts off) specifically in menus and when an audio log menu pops us.
Googled it and found that it affects specifically the people with the 5700 gpus. This sucks so bad. Waiting for a patch...

FWIW since I was playing on High rather than Ultra textures I can't say for sure, but there's been no real perceivable quality drop for me. Whatever it might lack in texture detail has been more than made up by the game not dipping in resolution constantly to make my minimum framerate; I'm actually getting a crisp picture in the open world now
Game defaulted to medium so i turned textures to high and AF to high and tried it like that. Afterburner and Geforce Experience wouldnt give me a FR counter but i got CPU and GPU utilization. On those settings in the open world my GPU was about tapped out. Constant in the low to high 90s but surprisingly CPU was never really over 30. But damn does my external SSD take forever to load in this game. Game ran pretty smooth at these settings tho and only had a hitch here or there.
2060 at 1080p and an i7 8700

I hope they fixed it as well, because I was really enjoying the game. I started to see bad signs at the start of the second level, and yup, as soon as those doors opened, my fps went to hell. Even lowering everything to minimum didn't help.
Any news or even a note from 343 that they are working to improve PC performance??? I just want good frametimes and gsync to work 😔
Game crashed to desktop today so I'm bagging the PC version and staying on Series X. Don't know how common it is and don't want to find out again mid battle.
So trying to launch Halo Infinite in the game pass app just launches a "gaming services" page in the Microsoft store instead?
Edit: Now the start menu and taskbar are gone? I swear to fuck, I hate Windows.
Edit 2: Reinstalled the Xbox app, now it's saying I have to re-install the game but clicking install doesn't do anything.

That happened to me (and many others) and the fix that worked for me was to uninstall and reinstall the HD texture pack. Before you do that, though, there's a quicker solution involving command lines but I didn't see anyone post the specifics of this solution in this thread. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that.
The other solution is to go to Settings>Apps>Halo Infinite>Right click, Advanced Options> Reset
The game will disappear, so find it on the xbox app, it will prompt to install. After your fear that you mightve uninstalled the game is gone, Press install and it will repair itself and appear after a short while.
I reset Halo infinite in apps and programs and it was fine. Didn't have to reinstall and didn't lose my save.
Try uninstalling the HD texture pack.
It gives you like 15 more fps and removes stuttering. And the visual difference is almost unnoticeable
There's something wrong with the HD texture pack. It seems to use it even if you set in game textures to low

It has been in the OP since yesterday.

So to uninstall the texture pack in gamepass PC do you click on manage app on halo and then deselect the texture pack and apply changes. Is that it? That doesn't seem to uninstall it though.
I just tried it out. When you click apply changes, watch the "play" button as it changes for a couple of seconds to "downloading" and then goes back to "play".
It works!
THANK YOU!! This works!!!!! It actually plays normally!!! no longer a stuttering mess in the open world. Wow. You saved my weekend :) Can get back to the campaign, yes!!!!
it made a huge difference on my 10GB 3080. Count me in as a data point where even with 10GB it helps immensely. This is locked to 60 FPS btw
I got a noticeable boost in performance but I'm also noticing more texture streaming. "Ultra" is still selectable in the menu is this texture pack supposed to improve on Ultra setting?
Thanks, it did this but it changed nothing for me. :(
I have dropped some settings to low, resolution 1080p and capped the FR to 30 and at least it seems to not be stuttering as much. I can't believe the open world would be so drastically different from the first two levels and multiplayer, still feel like something is wrong.
My card and CPU isn't great, a 580 AMD but I can play most games at 1080p 60 or 1440 and still have great frame rate.
Thanks, I think this helped a lot! I just thought my 6700k was the problem.
Weird game so far, technically. The game really doesn't seem to like running below a framerate cap, even though VRR/G-Sync should smooth that out. I get wild CPU usage if I run totally unlocked, which then suddenly becomes reasonable if I impose any max framerate. And if it's running below whatever cap I impose, the game doesn't feel smooth, even though the framerate is decent and the frametime graph looks OK. (And G-Sync is definitely active through all this.)
Currently I've capped it at 60hz (62 on the in-game limiter, 60 through RTSS) and it feels pretty good, since it's able to hold that framerate.
I also got a few crashes during the first two levels. I'd enabled async compute from the start, and disabled it after the second crash, having had issues with that on Nvidia cards in the past. Not sure if that helped, since it still crashed at least once afterward.

removing the high resolution textures has improved performance A LOT and like others have said i can't tell any difference (i'm playing at 1440p though). there's still some stuttering in cutscenes but i can deal with that. gameplay out in the world is a million times smoother. combat feels more satisfying now and aiming is an absolute delight.
i went into the nvidia control panel and forced a 60fps limit and vsync. turning on vsync in game is disaster so turned it off and set max 60fps with minimum 48. i'm playing on a gsync monitor.
all my settings are at high and fov is 100. getting rock solid 60fps in open areas. would love to be able to see a graph of unlocked frames to get an idea of how much headroom i have. there's still some settings i can turn up.
no crashes yet either.
my pc is 9900k, 32GB RAM, 2080 8GB (latest driver). windows 10. 1440p 144hz monitor

Antone else experiencing animation lag or jitter?
Sometimes it looks like the game is dropping fps, but the actual fps counter is still locked at 144 (for me at least), but the animations look like they slow down substantially during some fights and becomes a jittery and unresponsive mess.
I've noticed it a lot when climbing ledges and high impact scenes.

Chief's animations like climbing and reloading are locked to 30 i believe. Seems like it.
As with others I had a smooth experience for the first 2 missions, then performance dropped massively when I hit the open world.
I switched from uncapped to 60 fps both maximum and minimum frame-rate and its been smooth as butter ever since. Little or no stutter when traversing, driving a Mongoose etc.
