"But then I couldn't start any missions." Another person somehow ended up with two instances of the game running at once, neither of which worked. "I managed to 'fix' it by repairing and resetting the app in Windows," one person said. I tweeted about my frustration, and people shared their own stories. I uninstall it, then promptly cancel my Game Pass sub. I've sacrificed most of my evening to Halo Infinite already, and all I've seen is a menu. I see another, more promising fix, but apparently the person who tried it had to download the campaign again. I hate editing the registry-especially when it fixes nothing, which is exactly what happened here. I trawl Google and find a few possible solutions, one of which involves editing the registry. Like me, they're being dumped here with no explanation as to what has gone wrong. A few people mention struggling to run Halo, while others are having issues getting other Microsoft-published games like Forza Horizon and Age of Empires to launch. I look at the user reviews and it's full of agitated people complaining about not being able to play their games.
#HALO 1 WINDOWS 10 INSTALL#
But there's no install button or anything else. It's a page for an app called Gaming Services. Related: Forza Horizon 5, I Love You, But Stop Trying To Make Me Feel Like The Greatest Person Who Ever Lived I can't even get back into the menus I was in earlier.
#HALO 1 WINDOWS 10 UPDATE#
When I return the campaign update is complete and I launch Halo Infinite again.
I go and do something else while it downloads. That's another 20GB, which will take a couple of hours. But despite supposedly preloading the game, I have to download the campaign separately. Halo Infinite loads up, and I eagerly slam the Campaign button, ready to do some Master Chiefing.
Good deal.īack to tonight, and I click Play. Easy, and cheap! The sub only cost $1, as part of some introductory offer. All I have to do is click Play when it launches at 6pm. Nice, I thought: it'll be waiting for me tomorrow evening. The night before I subscribed to Xbox Game Pass For PC, found the game in Windows 11's new Xbox app, then hit preload. I even watched an incredibly long lore refresher on YouTube earlier in the day, just to make sure I was up to speed with the series' famously dense mythology.
I was excited to play some Halo Infinite on PC tonight.
