In halo reach on the series x I keep getting flashes where textures disappear and I can see what I assume is the geometry. Is there a fix for this?

It’s a bug that’s been showing up for the last few weeks, I’m also experiencing it on Series X.
Any bugs like this you should submit to HaloSupport here on Waypoint. Give them information and any clips you have etc.
I’ve submitted a report a few weeks ago, they’re looking into it but no fix is currently available. Going to have to wait for them to drop a update to sort it out.

I’ve also had this issue, with me being on Xbox Series X, and it only happening in Halo Reach. Its iccures in both campaign, and multiplayer.

This has been happening since the start of season 8. I really hope this is treated as high priority because this can dangerously impact those sensitive to flashing lights. And even if you’re not sensitive it can still effect gameplay. There have been multiple times when I’ve been in a really close 1v1 situation only to lose it because of sudden flashing lights distracting me.

I’ve seen a few posts on the Halo subreddit talking about this same thing. I am experiencing it too on my Series X.
I believe it has to do with the new 4k Dashboard update.
One user on reddit spoke to how they were in the Xbox Insider program and had access to the 4k Dashboard early. Their Halo: Reach was experiencing the same issues that we all are, so they sent their Series X away for repairs. When they received their new Series X there were not in the Xbox Insider program and so did not have the 4K Dashboard anymore. The problem was solved.
Except once the update went live for all players, their Halo: Reach started having the same graphical issues and they were able to conclude it was not their Xbox that was breaking, but the 4K Dashboard had messed up MCC.
So far I have seen no official response or mention of this problem, but rest assured your Xbox is okay as many people have been experiencing it since the 4K Dashboard update.

Yeah I submitted a ticket for this, I have a friend who also plays Halo with me to avoid Reach as soon as they fix it due to the Flashing Geometry would cause him to have a Seizure

Yeah this really needs to be fixed because it can be quite jarring and can catch you off guard. It always seems to happen to me at the worst possible time too.
I have it on series s, submitted ticket and videos a while ago.
Not really sure 4k dashboard is the problem as series s we don’t have 4k dashboard, whatever the problem actually is 343 will fix it, kind of just need to sit and wait

It has happened to me on the Xbox Series S. On Firefight, no less.

Interesting! Well it may not be because of the dashboard specifically but I do think the issues started with this update to the Xbox.
I believe there were other enhancements added that all consoles received such as a dark mode which dims the screen, so maybe it’s something else that was included in this update that isn’t meshing well with MCC.
I find it very interesting though because in 7 years of playing MCC I’ve never seen a bug like this come up.
Has anyone experienced this issue lately?
I’m not aware of any updates to MCC, but previously I was getting this problem without fail in the trees at the start of Nightfall in Halo: Reach.
Just now everything was fine and there were no problems! Maybe just a fluke, but I wanted to see if anyone else has seen it recently.

The issue occurred for me as of yesterday still and it doesn’t look like the game has been updated. Hoping for a fix soon as it’s maddening. It caused a few issues during my LASO run through last weekend

I’m sorry to hear that, and I appreciate the info.
Maybe it was just a fluke on my part. I’ll try to play some more Reach later and see if I was just getting lucky in this one particular instance.
It happened to me the other day on Courtyard again. Headshotting Grunts when the game is trying to give me a seizure is no easy feat, lol.

Nope I haven’t seen it for a few days now on any map/any game type. It would ALWAYS happen right at the beginning of the campaign mission Nightfall, but it has stopped occurring there and I haven’t experienced it once in matchmaking the past few days.

@JB_Linken have you experienced it happening again? I haven’t once since I last made that post. I think it might be fixed.
Thankfully I have not! Very weird.
I had just remembered I did find acknowledgment from 343i on Twitter.

However it was never added to the known issues list or the game updated as far as I’m aware. It seems the game somehow fixed itself.
