This game broke my 10tb hard drive

[Minecraft Steve]

This happened a while ago, but I see no other posts on here or even google that had the same thing happen. Basically during part 2 of the samurai armor event (I forget what it's called) I was playing and the game froze in a weird way. i could turn my character, but I couldn't move. and my teammates were looking at me wondering why I wasn't moving. so I tried to close it through task manager thinking it was some 343 issue. but it wouldn't close so I restarted my PC. and ever since then my PC wasn't able to find my hard drive and it was stuttering really bad when it occasionally did work. so I reset windows to a "previous working version" and that fixed it for a time, but it recently completely bit the dust and I had to buy a new one. Not sure if anyone else had this problem but just thought I'd share my story and urge you to be careful. It wasn't an SSD which it probably wouldn't happen on, but the game destroying my hardware is something that should never happen.

I should also mention that I could hear my hard drive struggling and constantly sitting at 100% when it needs to perform the slightest task.

Thats not how software works. Your drive was dying and halo was just what you happened to install in the bad sectors.

With how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the mp is, I would expect them to find a way.

I never expected software could be capable of such a thing either but literally the same thing happened to me exactly. Played Halo Infinite, PC horrifically crashed, the harddrive that stored Halo was shot and running at 100% when monitoring through task manager. I'll admit that the drive was old so I bought a brand new Western Digital 2tb gaming harddrive. That drive encountered the same problems until I wiped the whole drive and reinstalled everything (except for Halo Infinite). The PC has worked fine since but wanting to play Halo is outweighed by my fear of further damage (especially when a new update rolls out). This has been the oddest encounter with PC gaming so far. My PC was able to run Cyberpunk with no issues but Halo Infinite ruined one harddrive and potentially another had I not taken corrective action.

Salty? That was easy. Denying fact like a flat earther. How sad.

Happened to me too. I had it installed on a 1TB Gen 4 NVMe r/w'ing at 4.5GB per second which I bought brand new less than a year ago. The hard drive is not dying or dead according to any test I know to run. This never happened before the Halo Infinite event, nor has it happened since or even looked like it MIGHT.

Game froze for a few seconds, maybe about 20, then a catastrophic crash, had to reset the PC, when I did so the PC would not boot. I was able to fix by swapping both my NVMes around, which took me forever (I suck at installing NVMe's, people like Linus make it look so easy but those little screws are a nightmare and there's so little space in there to get any leverage, to be fair they would install it to the board BEFORE the board goes into the case, but I wasn't taking the whole board out if I didn't have to).

I refuse to play that game until I know for sure that it was something other than the game that caused it, but what the hell else would it have been?

SP mode, by the way. On some boss Elite character at the time.

Yeah that's why I'm refusing to install it again. until they come out and publicly disclose that something like that would be fixed then I refuse to even install it again.

Blaming the game for that! LL!
Now they are creating a Conspiracy Theorist to blame the game because of failed storage drive. Now we have 3 REAL CONSPIRACY THEORISTS in the discussions.

You had your Halo Infinite installed on a 10tb HARD DRIVE? ''Oh the loading times in the campaign are sooooo looong.''

Yeah! Now I give a real reason why to Hate me/dislike. HATER!

I'll be honest. I have zero clue what you just said lmao. Go back to your flat earth facebook group for mom's having their midlife crisis where you belong.

You both are friends, claiming to have an issue nobody else in the history of gaming has ever had. Blatant bait post is blatant.
