Crash on launch

When I launch the Halo Infinite preview, I get a black screen with 3 dots. After a moment, a “the game stopped working” error appears even though the game window doesn’t close and seems to be fine. I waited for a while to see if the error message was just a weird bug, but the game didn’t load after about 15 minutes of waiting. Did anyone else get this problem? Am I the only one?

343 will receive the crash report automatically. They said these types of things are expected.

Well, what do I do then? Do I just give up and wait for the next flight?

No?? Who said that? Try different things. Restart the game, restart your console/PC.

I tried restarting the game, steam, and then my PC. I verified the game files and updated my GPU drivers. Nothing worked.

me too… ive done everything. i got
GTX 1080 ti with a i7-6700k@4.5Ghz

how do we solve this? i wanna f#%king play!!:frowning:

I already removed the tech preview since it is not playable at all for me. Same as several users complaining: Crashes immediately on launch.
Sad for the slot I might block for some other user.

Next HALO which passes by. I was excited to see if 343 made their homework from previous HALO parts, obviously not. I am starting to accept that it won’t run, and I am not mad about it. The better it is. HALO is dead for me now.

I’m getting a UPDATE for the game right now, I’ll let y’all know if it fixes the issue or not.

I got super excited thinking I might be able to play when I get the update but no, it’s still crashing and I’m still sad.

OK so I got my game to work, I had set all of my games to my external hard drive (my e drive) because more storage, so, I tried a different approach and put it on my computer D drive witch is a HDD. Since my c drive that ssd is almost full. Surprisingly it worked for me IDK why, but transferring it to my D drive got it to work. but the graphics are grainy and not the best looking even after setting it to ultra. It playable but graphically not so pleasing.

If you are encountering issues during the flight, please refer to the known issues list on https://aka.ms/HaloSupportInsider and submit tickets for issues not present.
