Any fixes for Anniversary graphics FPS drops?

[DanteKG]

I've seen multiple threads complaining on anniversary graphics causing fps drops but I haven't found any solutions to the problem.

I'm on PC and it's a pretty good configuration so my hardware shouldnt be a problem.
H:CE and H2 on classic graphics run without issues. H2A runs without issues (only sometimes glitches for a split second when a new area or enemies are loaded). But HCEA is unplayable with how often and how much the fps drops.

Anyone know how to fix this? Or is there at least more info from 343 on this issue?

Also there's a memory leak in HCEA. As I'm playing through a level the RAM utilization keeps climbing. Eventually going over 15GB RAM usage. Somehow doesn't crash when reaching almost max ram. And when that happens and you try to exit main menu it might not succeed and you could just be looking at a black screen. But even if you manage to close the game from task manager somehow it will still be up and consuming ram (although less of it) until Steam is forced closed. Most of the time you have to reboot pc...

I'm on Xbox Series X and solid 60 FPS is impossible too, it didn't use to be this way, also the latest update broke several visual stuff in Halo Anniversary first cutscene, plus halo reach space launch facility mission is missing a ton of ambient battle stuff such as seraphs or anti air.

It's on the beach before you get in the Sabre that he is referring to. There's a thread on the front page about that bug.

Damn... I picked a bad time to play HALO for the first time... Seems the best option for players is to pirate an older version of MCC...what a shame

Outside of that and the CE memory leak, everything else works more or less. Except for Co-op in the Campaign. That's riddled with all kinds of issues that have gone unaddressed and likely will never be addressed.

Actually I do. So you have no fps drops or memory leaks when playing on remastered graphics?

Same here, same RAM usage (Halo CE the most) and fps drops to the point that the PC freezes. I searched for this and seems like it's a known issue for a couple of months. I've been out of the game for quite some time, what update did this??

Don't worry, it's the silver timeline where the pillar of autumn was a furniture moving ship, not just a navy cruiser (a table thing replaced a pelican model in a hangar rack) which explains the floating table lol, and umm the silver timeline has less covenants attacking the launch facility

Yeah the December 19th update and 7th patch to fix booting to menu after every H1 mission completes hotfix.

To be specific, when you reach the facility doors the invasion force is diminished to just one tank, it's almost empty now.

What should happen after reaching the door is endless pelican/tuning fork dropships should appear in almost a firefight like way deploying units, and you'll have seraphs firing at the facility overhead and AA firing back, it's a huge change, you used to be able to watch the marines and covenant fight to the death over and over, seems like any units that are scripted to respawn endlessly do not work on the level.

I already did. I always play the original games before I play their remastered versions, need to be able to appreciate the game as it was when it came out and appreciate the remastering. Anyways, seems like I'll be playing the other titles until HCEA gets fixed (if ever)
