Halo 2 - Co-op mission 2 crashing?

[Stray]

Is anyone else having this problem? After the cutscene with the scarab the game turns black for a while and the connection to the game gets cut. Me and my friend can't get past the cutscene.

i even can´t play co op with my mate.. everytime we try to play, it loads like about 10 min and then it gets a crash on desktop with pop up "game dont working anymore"

Had the same problem and I've seen it reported that this has happened to many others as well. Hopefully there will be a quick fix!

OK, so me and a friend had this exact issue and here's how we solved it (I am listing everything we did as I am not sure what worked).

1. Follow the answer from this thread and create the directory described:

2. Before you start the campaign/co-op in the main menu options, go to video and set the graphics from enhanced to original(the graphics will still look pretty much the same, so no worries). Also put the frame-rate cap at 60.

You might want to just try changing the video options first, and if it does not work, try creating the directory.

That should do it!

Additionally there is a point in the level "The Oracle", where the game may again throw you out DURING the cinematic before the level's boss (at the end of the level). If this happens just make sure to quickly skip the cinematic as it starts next time you get there. Me and my friend are currently at mission 10/15 will update if there are any other hurdles to full completion but level 2 and level 7 cinematic is where the game "acts nasty" (so far).

I just learned that if you skip the cutscene it works just fine.
