you right my friend

I had crashes where halo 2 anniversary froze in a similar way during Cairo station on Xbox Series X too, so this effects consoles too, the latest update really did a lot of damage to halo 1 anniversary with cutscene prop placements in POA and 343 Guilty Spark so you have stuff like a floating barrel or a pelican stuck into a wall, and messed up the facility part of LNoS in reach with no seraphs or aa.

It should be fixed.

Just another day dealing with 343i. Throw the Memory Leak on the pile with the rest of the bugs, crashes and errors that happen trying to play Halo.

Ran into this today. I played Halo: CE in MCC on integrated graphics perfectly fine years ago, and now that I built my own computer with an actual graphics card it runs absolutely horribly, with the memory usage running out of control in minutes, even when idling. I was starting to have an existential crisis cause I thought it was my build and I had done something wrong, but clearly not.

I saw another post somewhere saying to run the game without Easy Anticheat and that should fix it - that didn't work for me. Neither did using original graphics settings instead of enhanced.

Is there really even much hope of them fixing this at this point? I don't really keep up with Halo news too much, but I thought I read something about 343 getting completely canned or taken off of Halo or something like that? That kinda makes me wonder if there's even anyone around to fix the game anymore.

That's why iam making such a fuss about it because it has been 3 months since the update with no sign of life from the mcc team, i fear the worst.

We've had nothing about the Season 8 cosmetics causing Fatal Error crashes on H3, the crashes and desyncs in H2 Co-op, the issues with H2A and CE:A graphics, and I'm sure we could go on and on shouting into the void with all the problems that have existed before that which are still unaddressed.

I don't think you'll have anyone disagree with you that it needs to be fixed, or atleast anyone worth your time saying that, but what can we do with a company that refuses to be held accountable for the games they produce?

what memory leak? mines fine

[Sulz]

I did find that I was able to play CE single player without the memory leak issues by doing some trickery and installing a downpatched version of the game (I think it was back to season 7, but it seems like any season is possible). Using all the exact same settings and everything as I was in the current patch, using this old patch everything was smooth and stable 100%.

I don't think it lets you play MP that way, and I'm not sure if achievements work or not (Steam was able to recognize that I had MCC open, though, so maybe they do - EDIT: confirmed that achievements do NOT work). So there is that option if you're willing to deal with it and put in the work, although it's pretty embarrassing to have to do that kind of workaround for something that was once as mighty as Halo and is supposed to be backed up by, you know, Microsoft.

I'm pretty sure it's all perfectly legal and safe to do, but I'm not sure how it's looked upon here so I'll refrain from posting any links. But search "downpatch master chief collection steam" on youtube and you'll find video tutorials on it. Use your own discretion of course.

i can appreciate wanting to help with workarounds but it's just not good enough, this is microsofts flagship franchise afterall. 343 get your ♥♥♥♥ together.

Totally agree, I was just putting my findings out there in case anyone came across this thread later tearing their hair out for a solution (albeit a complicated and annoying one).

An official patch is beyond needed here, in the end.

This is similar to what I did on pc too, using the tags in the mod tools from the version before the update you can compile the fixed versions of the maps for yourself and play for example halo 1 anniversary without all of the broken stuff in POA, or reach with the LNoS battle stuff restored.
