Whenever I run Halo 3 after Season 8 launched, it loads into multiplayer lobby and everything, but when its loading into the actual game, it just hangs and crashes. Its only happening with 3. I verified game files, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, everything. But, still nothing. It crashes when its loading into the game. And I’ve gotten banned from matchmaking enough times to the point that I don’t even pick H3 in matchmaking now. Has anybody else faced this?
There are a number of threads on here about Halo 3 crashes. Some of them suggest the issue is with the vehicle and weapon skins. If you’re using them, try setting them all back to the default ones and see if it helps.
Also, make sure you go over to the Halo Support site and submit a ticket
