Bug Fixes
Aside from the new customization content, the devs also resolved several issues reported by the community.
One of the biggest things about Halo is multiplayer. It is just fun to blast enemies with your friends and family. That said, game crashes are now less likely to occur during Big Team Battles. Furthermore, the developers said that the fixes they’ve applied may also improve the overall performance on some platforms.
For Halo 3: ODST, some changes to the Firefight have been made. For instance, the plasma pistol’s stun duration should now be the correct length when fired on Sentinels. Moreover, the behavior and positioning of the Sentinels are now more consistent when stunned by the said gun.
Here is a rundown of all the issues resolved in this update:
- Trusted file share accounts now show up as trusted in-game
- Crashes are now less likely to occur during Big Team Battle (BTB) matches. This fix may also result in performance improvements on some systems
- HUD Scale now reverts to 100% when restoring default settings
- Enemies delivered from dropships will no longer briefly appear on the map before being dropped off
- The plasma pistol stun duration on Sentinels is now the correct length
- The position and behavior of Sentinels stunned by a plasma pistol now appear consistent for all players
- The total score no longer becomes out of sync when earning a significant number of points at once (such as killing several Hunters with a single rocket)
- Updated the Apocryphal nameplate to match the Evalach’s Lament back accessory
- Halo: Reach holograms now show the correct customizations to other players who have new customization disabled
Halo: The Master Chief Collection Update 1.2611.0.0 is now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
