Issue with Halo CE remastered visuals in certain moments
I shared a post earlier about odd visual issues in the remastered Jenkins recording scene from the 343 Guilty Spark mission. At first, I suspected my hardware might be the cause, but now I think it’s very unlikely. I’ve tested the scene multiple times on both my Corsair One i160 PC using its standard SSD and OS, as well as an upgraded SSD with a fresh Windows 11 install. I also tried dual-booting across all my custom PCs described in my profile, and the same problem keeps appearing only during that specific cutscene—no other games or applications are affected. Everything else runs smoothly, even demanding titles like Halo Infinite. All checks used the latest NVIDIA graphics drivers without issues. The glitch only shows up in the remastered version, not on my other devices. If you run the Jenkins scene in classic graphics, it works fine. Is there a particular graphics setting I should adjust to resolve this? Or is it just a game bug? Attached are stills and a video showing the issue—make sure to increase the resolution for better visibility.
It's certainly a chance, but the way certain Marines briefly appear to malfunction near the pelican seems questionable.
In the linked YouTube clip, Chief retrieves a memory device from the helmet of the deceased soldier. I assure you they enhanced this segment with extra visual effects that mimic "video glitches," giving it a more engaging feel in the remastered game version—similar to how filmmakers insert fake VHS tracking marks when playing back old tapes.
It seems 343 handled the visuals really well, though I suspect there could be an issue with my GPU.
