Often times when loading Halo 2 on PC during online co-op, we will experience crashes during the following situations:
Almost 100% of the time, when attempting to load the level Delta Halo in co-op, both game clients will load to 100%, and then my client will say verifying, while his client crashes with a “Fatal Error!” message, or he is kicked back to the game lobby. When this happens, my client will hang at the level load screen for up to 3 minutes, when I am then kicked back to the lobby. This occurs when attempting to load the game in classic or remastered graphics.
In Halo 2, when we are in a co-op game in classic graphics, if we have been in classic graphics for a while, if one of us attempts to load remastered graphics, both of our game clients will hang and crash. This happens in all levels. If I attempt to load remastered graphics at the beginning of a level, our game clients will often hang for up to 5 seconds, but will then recover. This is particularly upsetting when we are 3/4 through a level on legendary or are working on a par score, and someone accidentally hits the “toggle graphics” button, causing a crash.
