Halo 2 Anniversary (PC) stucks at Loading Screen

Every time when I try to start a Halo 2 Anniversary mission on PC it takes very long until the loading screen appears. And once the loading bar completes, the game stucks at the loading screen and the mission does not even start at all. Halo Reach and CE Anniversary just worked fine during the previous flights.
Does someone else have this issue too and how can I fix it?

Same issue here Halo 2 MCC on PC with Steam. The 1st mission that is only a cut scene will run but no other campaign mission will start.

Deleting the MCC from Steam and then doing a clean install resolved the issue for me.

I would say try to validate the integrity of the files. I did this on steam. It worked.

Same issue with me and my friend - but only when playing coop campaign and only on certain levels. We think it might be related to one of us having the game on an SSD and the other on a mechanical hard drive.

Really frustrating and disappointing that there’s been no reply from 343 - even on my support ticket(s).

As of 26-6-2020 me and my friend are still experiencing this issue (Halo 2: Anniversary of the Master Chief Collection).

After starting a mission with us two in the lobby (Legendary Difficulty) we both get stuck on loading screen until we both eventually are kicked to the main menu.

This issue occurs for us with 100% repro rate (regardless of who is hosting) with the following missions (Legendary):

  • Outskirts - RegretWe have had to skip those missions which feels unfortunate considering we’re mission out on not only gameplay fun times but also story :< imagine skipping one episode of game of thrones, you really don’t want to do that ^-^’

Note: I’m running the game from a mechanical HDD and my friend from an SSD, going to try the mentioned workaround above.

Eagerly awaiting a patch that fixes this issue! <3

UPDATE 1: My friend installed his game on a mechanical HDD (so we both have it installed on mechanical HDD), and we were able to launch the “Outskirts” mission and both of us saw the opening cinematic then at the end of the cinematic he (host) was kicked to the lobby without an error message, while I (client) was kicked to main menu with a “Connection Interrupted” error message.

UPDATE 2 - SUCCESSFUL WORKAROUND: We tried again launching “Outskirts” (Legendary) with both having the game installed on a mechanical HDD, and THIS TIME we skipped the opening cinematic directly as soon as the cinematic started and both of us were able to load into the mission and play it. He (Host) had the video and audio setting to “classic” and he then changed it to “anniversary” after the level started.

I literally just want to play halo master chief collection and it takes too long to load in
