Halo: Master Chief Collection is an absolute broken mess

Last weekend, I picked up the Halo Master Chief Collection from the Steam sale with a friend. We wanted to play through Halo 1 again, but it was completely unplayable.

You can’t always join another player’s session.
Occasionally, nothing happens when starting a mission.
On certain missions the game just completely freezes.
At certain points the game locks up leaving you unable to move.

It’s just awful. Don’t buy

    Update: Most issues were fixed through updates, I guess we just wanted to play in a really unfortunate time.

    The locking up problem is related to a DLL mismatch when attempting #Windows / #Linux crossplay. In short: Copy your Windows friends’ ucrtbase.dll from both the System32 and the SysWOW64 folders to your Windows folder in #Steam’s compatdata folder and you’re good to go!

    We had a great time playing last night.
