- Known Issues - 28 July 2026
The following list contains some of the high-impact known issues for the current release of Halo: Campaign Evolved:Global Cinematics may occasionally stutter during playback if the display refresh rate is not an even multiple of 30 Hz. Workaround: If possible, set your display refresh rate to a multiple of 30 Hz (such as 60 Hz, 120 Hz, or 240hz), turn on Game Mode on your TV if available, or turn off Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), as it may contribute to cinematic stuttering on some setups. Audio and video may become out of sync, and the cinematic can briefly freeze, if the game is paused and then resumed during a cinematic. Navigation markers do not progress until everyone in the Fireteam passes them. After the first generator in Two Betrayals, players will be unable to progress if they destroy the banshee. While playing The Truth and Reconciliation, you may hear brief popping or stutter…
