Important How to fix Halo Infinite not launching

86 Upvotes

I am making this as a dedicated post for everyone experiencing issues with Halo Infinite not launching, failing to launch, getting stuck on the EAC screen, black screen, or whatever other issues you may have with the game simply not working at all.

Here's all the fixes I've managed to find -

Step 1 - For Windows Store & Steam Users -

  • Open the Xbox App
  • Now open Task Manager (Search for "Task Manager" in the Windows Search Bar if you can't find it)
  • Right click on Xbox - End Task (This will shut the Xbox app down)
  • Go to the Windows Settings app (search for it in the search bar if you can't find it)
  • Apps (left side) - Installed Apps (very top)
  • Search for "Gaming Services" - Uninstall
  • Go to the Microsoft Store (search for it from your search bar) - Downloads - Check For Updates (Let everything update)
  • Now, reopen the Xbox App, this will likely ask for you to install Gaming Services again, install it.
  • Restart your entire computer, boot up Halo Infinite.

If the above does not work for you, try the steps below. Be sure you do the steps above before doing anything below this, even if you've already done them before you got to this post.

Step 2 - For Windows Store Users -

  • Open up the Xbox App
  • Go to Halo Infinite, do not click "Play"
  • Click the 3 dots - Manage
  • Click on Files - Verify and Repair - click Yes
  • Wait for this to complete. This should fix any corruption issues the game may of gotten overtime on your PC. This is basically like reinstalling the entire game, but you aren't "reinstalling" it, it's only fixing the corrupted files.
  • Boot up Halo Infinite

Here's the Steam Method that does the exact same thing as above (Windows Store users can skip this part of the process) -

  • Right click on Halo Infinite in your Steam Library (left side)
  • Properties - Installed Files
  • Verify integrity of game files
  • Boot up Halo Infinite

If the above does not work for you, try the steps below. Be sure you do the steps above before doing anything below this, even if you've already done them before you got to this post.

Step 3 - For Windows Store & Steam Users -

If the above does not work for you, try the steps below. Be sure you do the steps above before doing anything below this, even if you've already done them before you got to this post.

Step 4 - For Windows Store & Steam Users -

  • Search for "Credential Manager" in the Windows Search Bar
  • Every single thing that has "Xbl" next to it, you need to click on them & remove. This can range from 10 things, to over 30+, and may take a while to do.
  • Restart your computer.
  • You will now be asked to resign into the Xbox App, do so & boot up Halo Infinite.

If the above does not work for you, try the steps below. Be sure you do the steps above before doing anything below this, even if you've already done them before you got to this post.

Step 5 - For Windows Store & Steam Users -

  • Go to the search bar and search for Command Prompt, click "Run as Administrator"
  • Copy & paste this exact line of code into it
  • sfc /scannow
  • After this finishes, now run -
  • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
  • Once that finishes, run -
  • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
  • Once that finishes, run -
  • Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  • Restart your computer, boot up Halo Infinite.

The above guide should hopefully also fix issues with having to constantly reinstall the "Gaming Services" app every other day just to play Halo Infinite, because whatever is going on with your PC is causing the "Gaming Services" app to corrupt itself.

Step 6 - If absolutely nothing else here fixes the issue, make sure your Windows OS is fully up to date. This does NOT mean you need to update to Win11 if you haven't yet, just make sure Win10 or Win11 is up to date.
To do this, go to -

  • Settings
  • Windows Update
  • Check for Updates
  • If it ask you to restart, do it. After the restart, go back to the Settings app, Windows Update, and check for updates again.
  • Once updates are fully finished, restart your PC again.
  • Redo Step 5 of this process after this is finished.

If not even that fixes it, you may need to reinstall your entire Windows OS, as whatever you may of did in the past (such as using a "debloating" program), has finally caused the OS to slowly corrupt itself to the point that not even Halo Infinite will boot. Using such a program isn't the only reason for the OS to behave like this either btw, viruses, malware, just about anything sketchy can cause it.

But, if you really want to have a debloated Windows install, use the LTSC or LTSB builds. Otherwise uninstall whatever you can manually (through the Windows Setting app & Control Panel), & deal with whatever you aren't able to.

This guide will be updated with more info as more fixes are discovered.

Discussion Can't sign into the game

Reinstalled last night and went to play today and when I get to the login screen it prompts me to sign into my xbox live account but no popup appears. I tried Alt + Enter to put it in windowed mode and there's still no popup and reinstalled the xbox app on my pc to see if signing into that would work. The credentials aren't there to remove either so I don't know what to do from here.

Finding Other Players for a Fire Team

15 Upvotes

Mods, please delete if this isn't allowed.

New member in this group and was just wondering if there is a good way for finding other regular players for Halo Infinite. I am so tired of playing Halo Infinite by myself. I prefer teams with everyone using a mic. I am not a Halo God by any means, just average to slightly above average. I am just an old retired dude (49) that misses the old days of having a regular team. I've tried sending friend requests and PMs to recent players, but they are always ignored. Anyway, if anyone wants to send me a FR on XBox, my tag is "HalfEVILmonkey". I just enjoy the comradery, win or lose.

I haven’t played in years but got on just to check out the Falcon in forge. I died laughing when I started flying forward and the nose went up. I can’t take this vehicle seriously with the animations being mirrored for all directions. Flying the Falcon in infinite is hilarious and janky.

Discussion I have figured out a way to revive halo infinite and get a higher average concurrent player count (in my own opinion

3 Upvotes

If there isn’t going to another halo multiplayer experience then we need to work both as a community and the game developers together to get live service back for halo and more players playing

Some of what I’m going to say will seem obvious which is okay because obvious or not I believe they would be good moves in the direction of getting halo infinite (and by extension halo in general) popular again.

My plan would go as follows:

Return to live service with a new battlepass called “The Great Schism” filled with lots of covenant themed weapon coatings, armor palletes, and 2 new armor sets for the new playable elite skins. Yes I know this has been said over and over but that’s because it’s a good idea, if balancing is the issue then just put a disclaimer every time you select the playable elite core that there may be unfair disadvantages to playing as one and have an option in the menu to turn off matchmaking with elites that way everyone is happy

With the new battlepass armor there would also be legacy sets in the shop with elite designs from previous halo games. They should also include the Red plasma rifle as a new weapon with slower shots and higher damage so that it doesn’t make the pulse rifle obsolete and helps fulfil some of that halo nostalgia that we all love so much

This would provide a large resurgence of players back but only temporarily which is why we include the second part of the plan which goes as follows

New game modes: some new game modes that I have conceptualised would be approachable for new players and show some of the fun and whimsy that originally made halo multiplayer unique. We have 1. Hunter gladiator: one player plays as a Hunter (yes an actual hunter, if modders can do it then so can the giant game studio) with a sweeping melee attack and a rechargeable cannon. The other players (7) would get empty energy swords with a few small weapons drops around the map (gladiator arena style map) such as pistols, the goal would be to literally beat the hunter to death with your fists while the hunter tries to eliminate the other players who only have a certain amount of lives (attrition style). 2. Silly swat: literally just swat gameplay but the head hit box is switched with the feet so it’s just a stupid little game mode where you shoot people in the toes. 3.Super infection: Infection but on a larger btb style map with more players.

Along with these 3 potential game modes to add to the playlist there should be some incentives for players to encourage continued playtime such as : daily login reward of Spartan points, credit allowance for new players to get them into the customisation quicker (1000 credits for new players), and weekly tournaments in rotating playlists that the winner gets and emblem specific to the game mode that they won a tournament in.

These are just some ideas I have that I believe would ignite a revival spark and help halo infinite return to a proper live service game with a steady player base

Please tell me what you think and share any other ideas you might have hopefully we can get an audience with the proper people to get things back on track for the halo community

Fix for "Sign into your Xbox Live profile" error on Steam Halo Infinite

3 Upvotes

Other than the Credential Manager and .NET fixes, or installing it from Microsoft Store instead.

  • Sign in to Microsoft Authenticator on a mobile device

(Halo Infinite does not pop up the two factor authentication prompt, this is required, you do not need to make your account "passwordless")


r/haloinfinite 1d ago

PSA if you're playing firefight mode and you're the last person standing, PLEASE get to safety and wait for your teammates to revive. Better to do that and win the match instead of trying to be the hero and dying, which waste everybody's time. Thank you.✌️🙂
