1 year ago Thanks for the bug report.
- Regarding the visual issues you're seeing, they are already mentioned here: #524
- Regarding performance, it is expected for now.
- Regarding the 'MTLCompilerService' crash, have you restarted your system lately? I have had issues after updates on macOS that were resolved by a restart.
In the future, please try to search for previous issues before filing, and when filing a new issue please try to narrow the issue report to a singular problem, so the issue can be more easily tracked and resolved. If you need to create multiple issues, that is okay.

MTLCompilerService crash upon startup, slow performance and missing effects
Bug Description
When launching Halo 2 "MTLCompilerService" on macOS crashes. What follows is a black screen followed by poor performance (8 FPS in the Menu, wildly variable in game) and many broken effects. Including but likely not limited to:
This is just what I encountered while testing.
Expected Behavior
I'd expect preformance to be similar to Halo CE (which I can run much better than I can 2 all testing here was done at 1x res, I tend to play CE at 3x res on this same machine)
Menu should have a blue tint to it
Hud should have a cross hair, radar and shield status borders around the grenade indicators
Master Chiefs hands should be solid.
