Consider reinstalling it. Delete all settings and what not. Possibly reset your entire system if need be.

These are not common problems with this collection of games.

Halo 1 is the most buggy of all the Halo MCC games unfortunately.

I know that disabling the enhanced graphics for it improves performance/bugs a lot for that specific game in the package.

Update: Most issues were fixed through updates, I guess we just wanted to play in a really unfortunate time.

The locking up problem is related to a DLL mismatch when attempting #Windows / #Linux crossplay. In short: Copy your Windows friends' ucrtbase.dll from both the System32 and the SysWOW64 folders to your Windows folder in #Steam's compatdata folder and you're good to go!

We had a great time playing last night.

I've had a generally pleasant experience with the game. All the issues I came across--friends not being able to join matches, lag while on multiplayer--was because of cross-platform issues, one of us was on the MCC version while another was in the original release version, or my own poor internet connection.
