Halo Infinite seems to be experiencing more and more issues as new updates and changes are rolled out to the game. A recent change to the progression system and some tweaks seem to be causing an issue on several systems where the map simply hangs on loading. The percentage at which the map hangs varies, but the most common seem to be 0%, 34%, and 56%. If you've been experiencing the same issue in Halo Infinite and want to fix it, here's everything you need to know.

There are several reasons why the game might get stuck in this phase. Some of them are listed below.

Virtual Memory Allocation: This is a fairly new system in Windows where the operating system will use your storage memory for some simple background tasks to conserve resources, specifically RAM. Misconfiguring this on Windows systems is a known cause of this issue in Halo Infinite, where the game crashes while loading the map.

HDD: Hard drives are seriously outdated and heavy AAA games require an SSD. Playing Halo Infinite from the hard drive can result in significantly longer load times, which is one of the reasons your game seems to freeze while loading the map. When you’re just dealing with the longer load times that come with an HDD.
