Halo 2 stuck on Mission Loading Screen

Hello Guys,

Halo Reach and Halo 1 Missions are playable, but when i select Halo 2 Missions i get a black Screen after Countdown. Downloaded 4 times and tried Repair and Reset but nothing works.

Thanks for Answers

Did you try to verify the integrity of your files ? Had the same problem than you, went to my Steam library, right clicked on Halo> Properties > Verify files (or something like that).
12 files were missing. Problem solved.

Hey guys,

This issue occurs for me and my friend when trying to play the missions “Outskirts” and "Regret" on Halo 2 MCC, co-op, legendary difficulty.

However, fortunately there’s a workaround for this (see link + quote below)!

Note: The first part of the workaround was initially mentioned by Adachibaby (in the thread linked below) so kudos to them for sharing it in the first place!

> 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.

@LouDneiv,
you mentioned, “…verify[ing] the integrity of your files…” and then metntioned “Halo> Properties > Verify files (or something like that)” What exactly did you do to fix your halo 2? ive been stuck looking for problems, but i cant find any
