For some reason, my Halo for PC has recently developed a strange bug that is hindering my performance and experience greatly. When I open Halo, via shortcut or by clicking on the .exe file, Halo opens up, the ads in the beginning look fine, but when it gets to the Halo screen, everything is in black and white, with no detail at all, no letters, just white rectangles, the halo is completely black while space is white, in game everything is black and white, no color with exceptions (door light and needles), and when rounds are fired, a blocky patch of black smoke also emanates from the gun.

This is not graphics; the effect is twenty times worse. I have all my graphics set to the highest possible, and I have tried many different configurations since this has started. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Halo four times already, with no change. I would formally request someone to look into this, and I do not have an answer within the week, I will probably have to return it. Hopefully Gamestop offers a full refund.

I will also add that rectangular boxes at different objects (i.e. teleporters, panels) have appeared that weren't there before, signifying that the game is applying bitmaps to objects it is not supposed to. I will search for other ways to fix this, and I hope you will help if you can.

Update/reinstall your graphics drivers.

I will try that, but as far as I know, my computer is exactly the same as it was; e.g. no graphics difference.

I just checked, all my drivers are up to date. Halo is still not working properly.
