PC Graphics

Hello, ever since roughly this time last year (maybe September 2017), I've had massive flickering issues with Halo Combat Evolved (PC).

Here is an example:

And again:

As these are just screenshots its hard to picture how this actually looks in real time, but I assure you, its enough to take anyone out of the game experience, these graphical errors happen extremely often and change the entire layout of what I am looking at, at any given time. It will cause many textures to turn see-through and flicker like this many times per frame, they stay still if I don't move the player view.

Since May 2017 I have had a Ryzen 1800x running from an Asus Crosshair VI Hero and a cross-fired pair of R9 270x's, they ran Halo fine until some point around September/October last year and then this started happening, I upgraded to a cross-fired pair of R9 380's and the exact same thing was occurring, I then upgraded to a singular R9 390x around May and nothing changed.

I've tried all the possible different graphics profile options in the Radeon Settings menu and all I end up with is this problem becoming even worse.

Everything points to a driver breaking this game but I feel like I should not have to downgrade so far back just to get this 17 year old game to run properly.

Please advise, I am happy to answer any questions.

Thank you.

EDIT:

Here are some more screenshots.

Go to your gaming tab in Radeon Settings. You should have a profile for Halo in there if not add one. Then force V-Sync on and see if that helps.

Hi there, as I said, I have tired every possible configuration via the graphics profile on Halo and the settings in the game itself, V-sync somewhat reduces the problem, however response time is not very good when it's enabled, I'd rather find a solution that doesn't involve V-sync.

Thank you.

Sorry it is the only thing I know to do. This was an issue with Halo 1 and 2 from launch on PC.
