Chromatic Aberration is forced enabled if you put effects on anything other than “low”.
Effects setting impacts explosions, shields, smoke, etc. so it’s definitely something you would otherwise want to put on whatever your PC can handle, but because it also enables Chromatic Aberration I am going to put that on low until it has gotten its own setting (like UI did).
CA can trigger migraines so it’s more than just making the game ugly.

The screen shake slider doesn’t eliminate screen shake completely, I know you are going for the feeling that we are actually sprinting but it’s just distracting. Most of the guns feel a little off and need slight accuracy changes in my opinion. The default AR needs a slight damage increase to make up for the bloom it has. A huge thing that needs to change before the game goes live is the boosts to xp ticking even when you are in lobby. Other games do this and honestly it’s just toxic. The player shouldn’t be penalized for slow matchmaking times. if you feel that makes the double xp too powerful make them for less time but run only during a match. Shows you care about balance and the player. Right now the only gun that feels good is the pistol and I’m sure you will be able to tell that’s what most of us are using. This absolutely does not mean it needs nerfed it just means that the other guns need balanced around the pistol. It feels like classic Halo gunplay. This is only my first impressions after 2.5 hours of gameplay I’ll update my feedback throughout my flight. Hopefully you take these things into consideration. Also in case my bug report gets lost in the sauce I’ll put it here as well, when you tab out and come back the audio bugs out and some things end up muffled.

Yeah, thanks bro
I have not gotten into a single matchmaking game in a collective 6 hours over the last several days. I can occasionally get into a game when it is on Recharge. Nothing else. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game as well as verified all files through steam. The problem has not been resolved over the courses of any of the updates that have gone out. No idea why. The whole match will load up until that black screen. After sitting thru the black screen for several minutes I am kicked to the main menu with no message. It’s really frustrating since nobody else seems to have this issue. Created a support ticked over 24 hrs ago and have not gotten a response, not that I expected one since this is a very unusual and confusing issue. I have seen friends have similar issues in MCC so this worries me if it is not properly addressed by 343 in time for release.
Again, it only works when I’m lucky enough to be placed into a Recharge game, otherwise it will jump to the main menu every time.
Some of my issues that I have found include:
The biggest issue I’ve had so far is the game is only playable if stored on your “Local Disk (C:)” for me besides that here’s a list of small bugs or glitches I’ve noticed…

Could this possibly fix the loading into match then getting kicked to the home screen bug?

I don’t have the game installed on my C: and it works perfectly
After the update earlier yesterday, Matchmaking is taking much longer, to the point of which I do not believe I am actually queued , seeing as upon finding 4 players and loading the map, the screen changes black with the 3 white dots in the top left, for a time I can assume being 5 minutes or so, where after that I return to the main menu. (Multiplayer / Academy) Prior to the update, last night, I was able to get into matches rather quickly, as in, within a minute. As such, I am inclined to believe that the update may be a factor in this issue.
Specs: Ryzen 2600, RTX 2060, 16gb of ram
Windows 10 (not activated)
Network: 60.5 mb/s download 7.63 mb/s upload Downloaded and updated from Steam
In addition, the cancel matchmaking button refuses to work if the game sends me back to the main menu, meaning that I cannot restart the search for a match and have to close and restart the application.
also, the “activate windows” transparent popup in the bottom left of my screen occasionally renders that part of the screen pitch black instead of the transparent grey text. however this was fixed temporarily when I spammed the windows key and clicked the escape key.
My game crashes randomly and I don’t know why.
I have been playing at 3440x1440p in borderless full screen getting anywhere from 65-75 fps on low and 50-65 on ultra setting.
PC Specs:
intel i7 7800x
MSI RTX 3080
G.skill 48 GB Ram 2666MHz (should be 64 but a stick died recently)
Samsung 1TB 980 pro M.2 SSD
ASRock X299 Taichi MB
Frankly, I played for a while with out turning the FPS counter on just to gauge how the game felt without dragging numbers into it, and I have to say it was really smooth. Very rarely did I get a stutter/visual bug that broke my immersion. I did get some flicker of the pause menus while in games from time to time, and occasionally when coming back to the title screen after a match I would get some wild color lines flashed across my screen for a moment. In a match though I didn’t have any problems with rendering or pop ins.
My CPU is more of a multimedia workstation variant and is typically the bottle neck for me when gaming, but I found it handled itself pretty well running this usually in the 50-70% usage range. Since I play on an ultra wide at 1440p the load on my 3080 is pretty heavy, but in the tech preview I have been looking at only 40-50% Vram usage.
There is definitely a bit more optimization to be done, but I don’t think its nearly as bad as half the people on older hardware say it is. Good job 343, looking forward to seeing this wonderful game continue to blossom!
Hello,
Something I thought I’d mentioned.
I streamed Infinite for 3h last night. Crashed every 3rd game or so. Now played for an hour tonight - not a single crash.
Can send a ticket w’ DxDiag etc if needed. Pop me a PM if interested.
Ta!

Also not on my C: drive and works fine for me
BUGS N’ GLITCHES:
Everything i saw was the optimization, theres a lot to polish and fix out (When i was running the game started to get sloooooooooooooooow for a couple seconds). Also i noticed when u started a game there was a texture loss but it dured a few seconds but i think that should be fixed.
Audio:
Was kinda tricky as well cuz (IN MY CASE) i didn’t heard shots sometimes and background sound like music and stuff like that.
RECAP:
Texture loss should be fixed and optimize the game as well. Also take a look to the audio glitches.
Thats all. love u all

Ok I found out what crashes/freezes my game. Whenever I manually switch to a spike granade it happens.
Just some input. The sniper is the best its felt for me, but I did not see a way to get to the second zoom mod with HOLD TO AIM. Second, the BR had a rather metalic ting at the end of each burst that got slightly annoying after a minute. Last I can’t get into a multiplayer game 
Aside from the glaring performance issues, there are 2 issues I noticed with mouse input and settings:
There is noticeable input lag while aiming with a mouse (I’d imagine this is related to playing at 70-80 fps). - The mouse sensitivity settings lack granularity. For example, the jump between 1.2 and 1.3 is too great. I’d like to set my sens to 1.25 if I wanted to.I also wanted to add some feedback on the shooting range:
This is a great feature but it needs more customization to be useful. - We need settings for the number of bots, strafe speed, stance, etc. - For example, look at VALORANT’s shooting range or CSGO’s popular workshop map, Aim Botz.
Using a Ryzen 7 3800 CPU with a GTX 1080. Used M&K for the entire flight.
I’m playing on a Ryzen 9 5900x and RTX 3080 with 32GB of ram and I can confirm the gameplay was utter sh*t at some points I’d get frames up to 140 but the gameplay felt LAGGY In general and most the time was under 100 fps, lots of input delay and lots of lag. The game felt very unstable and also didn’t look 1080p at all. Clarity and depth of field looked absolutely terrible and pixelated. Honestly looked like I was playing on NVIDIA REFLEX SETTINGS. Gameplay also felt SLOW and CLUNKY not sure why, sprint seems a little too slow and honestly you shouldn’t feel slow at all when you’re the MASTER CHIEF. I would like to see this game MORE optimized and also some of the gameplay to be a little quicker pace. I understand this flighting was for feedback and not everything is going to run correctly but I would love to see all these issues fixed as I truly don’t see it being this bad on release date.I made a thread about how people complained about graphics and wasn’t focused on gameplay. I truly think the FANS may have ruined this game by -Yoinking!- at 343 for graphics instead of worrying about the gameplay and either the flight was just really buggy and the game is actually way better than the flight was or if this is truly the state of this game then the fans ruined it by complaining.Truly disappointed in the FEEL of this game as truly graphics don’t matter as long as the gameplay is amazing and
I truly hope this game isn’t a flop on release date.
Switching input Language and changing Push-to-talk key binding causes the game to crash.
