I am thoroughly enjoying Infinite, but I am concerned about the PC performance at this point.
I moved exclusively to Halo on PC with MCC a few years ago, because of my 144hz monitor but also because I loved the performance on PC.
Infinite on the other hand has been laggy beyond anything I have played for years, and ironically I never have lag when I happen to be playing on my Series X in the living room…just on PC.
Also, this getting killed behind walls angers me unlike ever before. This is something I have never experienced in a shooter before.
Also, the fact I can wait quite some time to join a game, and then all of the sudden it says unable to find a dedicated server over and over and over is just not acceptable, especially when on the Series X none of these issues happen for me.
I do IT technical stuff for work so any connection issues I can assure you are not happening on my end.
Aim assist issues would be nice too. You are clearly at a disadvantage with a controller on PC, and coming from the masterpiece that is MCC it is really difficult to shoot and control Infinite. I’m getting better but it shouldn’t be this tough.
Anyway, I just wanted to bring some key issues to your attention 343 and see if anyone else is having PC issues, especially the lag. Thanks!
Infinite is just poorly optimized for PC. Considering how this is negatively impacting high level play I’d imagine its one of their high priority items going into 2022.
You could have a $5,000+ custom PC, and Halo Infinite still runs like you’re using a Dell Windows XP laptop. I had to do so many workarounds to get it running stable, only to find out that Campaign forces the game to reinstall HD Content pack, which is a known cause of instability and crashing in the Multiplayer. I basically have to choose to play Campaign and hope Multiplayer won’t crash, or uninstall the game and only install the Base Multiplayer. I chose option 2, since I beat the Campaign already. 343 needs to fix this heap asap. Halo Infinite is the new “But can it run Crysis?” because not even NASA computers can run it smooth and stable.
I recently bought a PC and Infinite is the game I’ve played the most on. The issues that the game has with PC is annoying. This has been the worst intro game to get into PC gaming lol
Maybe it’s just me, but the game runs great on both my laptop and PC. Admittingly, my PC is a high-end gaming PC, but my laptop is mid-tier. I can still play at 60 fps on my laptop without any stutter or visual lag or anything. I just can’t run on ultra graphics, which is fine on laptop.
Simmer down there skillet. My hardware is doing just fine especially my 3080 ti evga card matched to my OC i9-9900K.
I play every major FPS out there on PC and never once had one of them lag ever. Never had one of them allow me to get killed around MF-ing walls like in Infinite.
It’s just like the real world with politics, and economics. People are Dunning-Kruger effects walking.
If it isn’t happening to them it doesn’t exist, and everyone else is wrong they know better. So they carry on with their nose to the wind thinking feces smells great.
It’s fairly simple really when you buy a console you have all the hardware you’ll ever need, compared to a PC where so many diffrent people have diffrent hardware makes it harder to optimize than a game for a console which has limited hardware variablity.
