Halo 2 anniversary performance issue 12/3/19

A performance problem that didn’t exist prior to the 12/3/19/reach update has appeared and what is happening is when you go into anniversary graphics the frame rates drop when simply looking into certain directions and severe screen tearing begins to happen.
An example of this can be seen if you load up outskirts and when you first walk into the courtyard you will feel the game slow down and become laggy.

You may want to ask this in the MCC Support thread if you want to get any assistance.

I’ve actually had this issue for the last couple weeks. For me, the lagging hasn’t caused any deaths or issues like that, but every time a checkpoint loads, the game freezes for a second or two before continuing. Is that what you are referring to?

That’s also an issue but for me halo 2 has become borderline unplayable in remastered graphics if you can could you go boot up outskirts and in the courtyard area just look around in remastered graphics and tell what you experienced like screen tearing and fps drops im heading over to the thread you recommended.

I’m having the same issue, what happened?

It’s not just Halo 2 Anniversary either.

Play Truth and Reconciliation on Halo: CEA to see what I’m talking about. The FPS tanks when you look out into the foliage and trees.

I wish this issue would at least be acknowledged by 343i

Comment removed.

I’ve also been experiencing the same issue. I went back to play Halo 2 anniversary today and in the classic graphics it works fine. It’s on anniversary graphics that my frame rate drops and everything gets kinda buggy. May a recent patch or something broke the campaigns?

When they added reach about a month ago is when this mess started and I’m not sure what caused it but basically half the game is broken create another thread about it so 343 sees it btw.

Same issue. I’ve was testing out VRR on each title and found Halo 2 remastered runs horrible for some reason. This is something new as I’ve put over 600 hours into the MCC and was always happy with the frame rate. What happened? It’s atrocious with VRR on and off. Something has changed.

Yep it’s been perfectly fine the past 5 years and now it’s broken and 343 apparently doesn’t care

Mid February and it still hasn’t even been mentioned people just accept half way done work I guess

I got a closed ticket response almost 2 weeks ago. I haven’t heard anything back yet. You think they would be all over this.

Yea it’s crazy like literally half the mcc is broken but I guess the only thing people care about is reach multiplayer

It affects multiplayer too. Over three months and this is still a major issue in all games, but perhaps H2A the most. Do what I did; create your own thread and a ticket. Demand a refund from MS. MCC is no longer what was promised by a long shot and on X its really unplayable. Framerate drops in half or more all the time even w/o any AI on screen. Smallest encounters makes it tank.

It’s 27/04/2020 And still have the the problem!!! This is unreal!!! When are gonna fix this!!! I pay for it $60!!! Do the -Yoinking!- game works!!! For god sake… Ask me if I’ll buy another -Yoink- of this -Yoinks!-…

Can you all clarify for me… is this for sure only the remastered games that lag here? Are the games still playable without issues in their original format? I’m thinking of buying mcc digitally for 40 bucks just to play the campaigns because I don’t play video games online because they suck balls, except for hearthstone which technically is a card game.

It’s the campaigns that’s having issues and halo 3 multiplayer is having issues but the biggest issue is halo 1 and 2 are having serious frame rate issues I’d honestly just wait until they fix this issue
