Halo: The Master Chief Collection PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
Tried 7.1, 2.0, headphones, etc...
Total garbage any which way you play it. I've never experienced audio mixing this poor.
Yes it's being worked on but will take awhile, pretty much they will be upgrading the codec they are using or using a new one. They have been aware of the issues but it's something that will need to be done for pretty much every game
Finally played for half an hour last night, even on monitor speakers I could tell the sound was not great.
Though on an i5-6500 at 1080p and default settings the game was playable. I still need to pull up the frame rate, it wasn't great, but smooth enough to play a campaign.

Have to reinstall Prey to test, but until I do, it's an emphatic YES for now. Halo sounds terribad.
Was excited to play tonight until I hopped into this thread. Right there with you. How can an audio mix issue be missed during production?
It wasn't. They said a while ago that it would still be present in the launch build.
Damn. I'm not even going to touch this until the sound is fixed, I find it more important than the graphics.
Was looking up some videos to get an idea of some of the audio issues people are having. It's definitely not breaking up on my end, and I can't say I really noticed a problem with directional sound being way off like in some of the footage I watched. I think I would've picked up on that. Very odd.
So I have a 2080ti, and I assumed that this game would basically just be a joke for that thing. But it's getting super framey in the multiplayer matches, I have a G-Sync monitor too so I'm extra surprised at how noticable it seems. Is this something to do with this weird frame duplication thing when you activate the unlimited framerates?
So for whatever reason, my pc forcibly restarts due to overheating within a couple of minutes after launching the game. I tested it again with no other apps open (browser, folders, etc...) and it still forcibly restarts due to overheating within a couple of minutes after launching. I'm not even sure what's the problem
I have a 2060 super and i7 4790k

Yeah there are duplicate frames, it's actually better to lock to 120 or 240, it's way better that way. This is being worked on though
So my monitor has a max refresh rate of 120, so I'd gladly lock it to that, however the options menu only allows up to 60FPS lock. I assume I need to lock this either in the Nvidia controls or in some .ini file somewhere? Is it better to just do 60FPS lock since it seems to be "optimized" for that specifically?
Could it be that it's pushing too many frames? Have you set a frame rate limit?
I'm having a lot of screen tearing on every match is there a way to fix it? I'm getting 70fps to 120fps on average and the screen tearing still happens

Do 240 if you want it to feel more like 120hz, trust me
Download Riva Tuner (RTSS) and cap your frames there rather than in-game
I did set the in-game limit of 60 and turned v-sync off so I'm not sure what's causing the problem

That's very odd then. I'm assuming you don't have crazy overclocks running either. If you run/download RTSS, you can at least keep an eye on what's overheating or otherwise off through the overlay.
I gotta say I'm not feeling very forgiving when it comes to the audio issues. Most of the time in the campaign I cannot even hear my own weapons fire if there is a lot of crossfire. Its a legitimate problem. For something as sensitive as this release and all the bravado about doing right by the Halo name to STILL have an ostensibly gamebreaking issue is puzzling to me. I bought the release on Steam for my library as well, I'm not just playing on Gamepass.
Other than that it runs and plays great!

Even putting the framerate to unlimited in game and with RTSS lock it to 60? Fast sync on the nvidia control panel could be a solution if latency bothers you.
Can't get the game to start properly at all. It launches, does the XGS and 343i film and then CTDs and launches me in to the Store on the Reach page.
Yes, the game is fully installed, updated and has even be reset.

On an i5-3570k and a GTX 970. Running the game at 1440p. With the framerate set to unlimited, it's in the 100+ FPS range. However there are times where it feels like the game will stutter or slowdown for just a split second. I'm not seeing the FPS drop in my in-game counter, so I'm not really sure what's going on.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this, or what could be the issue?

I had previously capped it to 60fps, but was still getting slight dips (in to the 56/57fps range). Seeing people saying that they're getting 4K60fps with the same card, so I don't know why I'm having issues on a lower resolution.
Sigh. Disappointing. Realistically I only want to play though the campaign once.
it feels fine at 60fps for me, it does feel like it has more input lag than halo 1 pc, but it didn't try many modes apart from fullscreen with vsync (which is how I played halo 1 PC)
performance is obviously good, the gpu usage is super low, but I was surprised by the CPU usage, it's very high on a quad core i5 for such an old game, so I can see that if you go for over 60FPS with such a CPU that it could start to stutter and behave weirdly, but with the 60FPS cap it was completely smooth.

I dont understand the multiplayer, is it just a random set of rules everygame? I thought Halo used to be a bit like an arena shooter, run around, pick up weapons, shoot bang. Been in too many "this gun only" games, its dull.
yeah i wouldnt even call it input lag, its like the game has built in delay on inputs to simulate momentum.. a bit similiar to rdr 2, except there you can see all the animations play out, which makes it feel somewhat natural, but here, well, it just feels like you're constantly chasing after inputs. I got used to it though, but I dunno. Feels a bit odd. But there arent many people complaining about it so im wondering if maybe its not for everyone? Or perhaps people in general just have more tolerance.
Can't even launch the game, fatal UE-4 error every single time, doesn't even get to the menu.
Why did I actually believe this game would release in a playable state? Have I literally learned nothing?

Tried it for a few minutes, yeah no thanks.
Audio mix bug is terrible, unlocked framerate feels awful, I'm running at 140 FPS but it's not smooth at all, even on a GSYNC monitor, also getting some serious ghosting due to the bad TAA from back in the day I guess?
Can't play it like this, will wait I guess. Good thing I was able to test it first with game pass.

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Reach but my vague memory is that they really centered the MP around the usage of the DMR. I'd say wait for the other Halo titles as they're more along the lines of what you want.
Does anyone know of a way to prevent Windows desktop scaling from freaking out when I downsample from 4K to 1080p and then close out the game? All the other programs I've got running are scaled weirdly after exiting the game, including stuff like the pop-up background app menu in the taskbar. The only thing I found that resets it properly is to go into Windows' scale settings, turn it up to 125% and then drop it back down to 100%. Though some stuff needs a to be fully closed out and restarted for it to scale right again.
Slayer 8v8 drops frames like no tomorrow when there's more than 3 vehicles on screen even on classic graphic mode....makes no sense
Also wish voice chat didin't decide that hey ya know what im only gonna work for this one round then the rest of the game you can't use voice chat.
AND LAST ....you can't truly quit the game without quitting steam . You're just stuck with the X-STOP instead of it actually stopping no matter how many times you click that button.

There is no TAA - you are just seeing your Monitor frame double or triple ghost the messed up Animations past 60 fps. When 120 or 144hz Monitors shoe frame Rates delow the refresh, it causes Image ghosting.
After 60fps the game will duplicate frames, so that's why you see some people complain 144hz feels jittery because it's not an exact multiple of 60
Sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask but my brother is trying to launch it I'm 4K on his PC that's a 4K monitor and it keeps defaulting to launching as windowed.
Even when he sets it to fullscreen and 3840x2160p, it always defaults to 3840x1620p looks weird. Only way he can keep it at native 3840x2160p is if he uses borderless after getting into the game.
Anyone on PC experience similar?
