Spartan shield flare effect in Reach is bugged in Steam/ PC version

Hard to explain, but the shield visuals on the Spartan's arms when taking damage in Halo Reach don't look how there supposed to on PC. Strangely, they look correct on the Xbox version of MCC, but on PC it's too saturated... like an "intensity" setting is set too high or something.

I already submitted a ticket reporting this bug, but have heard nothing. Honestly, i'd just like ANYBODY to acknowledge they see the issue too, for validation if nothing else. Obviously to many a non-issue, but thinking back on how they fixed all the visual errors the PC version of Halo CE had for YEARS, i'm hoping maybe they will fix it sometime... *as well as the fact it looks correct on the Xbox version.

why does a meow(?) noise play every few times you jump in halo 3 odst? every few jumps in mombasa streets the game makes a meow sound and no person has mentioned this afaik.

maybe it's a skull that does the meow sound?
do you have any enabled? maybe it's also a bug.

in halo 4 sometimes the lens flares on the forerunner weapons glitch and float in air in front of the player.

nah it's just a thing the game does. even if you watch a longplay on youtube it happens every few times the player jumps.

Is it possible you have HDR enabled on PC MCC and simply didn't notice? Or maybe some sort of visual bloom setting? The collection does have limited graphical options. Maybe try "Classic" instead of "Enhanced" or the other way around?

Oh, I remember you posted this back in September. I think someone back then confirmed that they also had the same visual effect.

No, I have extensively tested both the Xbox version and PC; I even have video evidence (idk how I would share it here though)

If anybody cares, I actually did just boot up my 360 copy of Reach today, and can confirm the Series X Reach has the effects in-tact, while on PC/Steam there wrong.
