Co-op Disconnects/Crashes on The Great Journey [Please Help]

[Senyin]

Please tell me someone knows a fix for this.

Last level - The Great Journey
Disconnect/Crashes right on the cutscene where you meet Johnson
No skulls active

Just a work around would be great. My two friends who have never played Halo are incredibly frustrated that they can not finish the game.

I have played with several friends on campaign and the disconnects/crashes are consistent with cut scenes.

- Outskirts (intro cutscene)
- Oracle (All of the cutscenes have crashed us, it's completely random which one but we can not beat it due to this.)
- The Great Journey (Meeting Johnson)

Please, I want them to have a good experience with this game and the constant disconnects and crashes are ruining it. If anyone has even a Work around for this, please tell me.

Thank you.

This happened to us. Legendary. Have to restart everything.

Edit: happened again. Cant do anything until 343 patches it.

It's bugged, and there's not really anything anyone can do until a patch is released. All I can say, is it's not just you, I crashed at the very end of Great Journey on Legendary, and lost all our progress for that mission in co-op.

There's also another bug, where often the game will just not "record" your playthrough of a mission, so it doesn't count towards the "Legendary Anniversary" achievement. It took us playing the game a few missions at a time since it's release on PC to complete it on Legendary...and only 6 missions counted in the end. 6/13. I'd recommend waiting until the next update is released and seeing if it's any better.


I've gave 343 Industries a chance after Reach's slightly buggy release, and gave them another chance with Halo CEA's even more buggy release (plasma pistol sound broken, non-working terminals, classic soundtrack and sound effects broken, no multiplayer announcer, etc), and after all of that, Halo 2 is unplayable in both co-op and matchmaking (crashing constantly in co-op, the projectile bug in multiplayer) on it's release...

At this point, I really don't have much hope for Halo 3 or the other games to release ready. I hope I'm wrong about this, but it's not looking too great for Halo's future right now going by the releases so far.

I've supported this game since release. My buddy and I are playing through all the campaign starting with Reach. We are unable to complete the great journey because of this bug. I can't believe this long after release its still and issue.

We found that playing on a different difficulty sometimes fixes the issue.
But that means completing the game for the achievements is impossible right now in co-op.

Depends on the level.

I remember that heroic is the only difficulty that works for The Great Journey.

I have the same problem. Really anoying. What are these lazy idiot devs doing???

Hey, a bit late but for anyone who still has this issue. My friend and I were having the crash issue but after we both went into old graphics we got it to work in an odd way. We completed it, then one of us died in the cutscene causing us to restart (we think this is why it crashes on new graphics). After doing it again, before we killed him we made sure to be in safe spots and it didn't crash in time.
