For some reason my Halo PC in game text isn't showing up. It just flashes when I'm typing, when someone gets a kill, when someone else messages, etc. Was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this problem. I've already tried Uninstalling/Reinstalling. Even ran the "msxmlenu.exe" repair and it didn't work. Also, I've noticed that when I start Halo it skips the Bungie/Gearbox/Microsoft cinematic. Goes straight to the menu as if I were playing Custom Edition.

Update: Never mind, I figured it out. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It'll skip the videos if you have -novideo in your Halo shortcut. Can't recommend anything for the text though; it's just the way Halo is sometimes.

In wine there's truth but in silence there's surrender.

if you alt tab the game, text will keep going on and off until you restart the whole game.

You can fix it by alt+tabing again. It might take a few tries but it will go back to normal. This is the kind of thing that patches are usually used to fix. :/
