After 10 days of waiting, 343 Industries / Xbox Game Studios finally again fixed up the online multiplayer for Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Linux desktop and Steam Deck after breaking it.
Their developers hooked up support for it originally back in April, and then broke it with the September 19th update that I reported on previously. Their official support account on X has now confirmed as of September 29th that it is fixed again and it seems they also finally after ~6 months fixed the launch options being backwards.

Both were using Proton 8.0-3 so it's working fine now.

It still hangs with:
Quoting: haloCONTACTING SERVERWhenever I try to launch a playlist. It's been this way forever. For good measure, I tried with Proton 8.0-3. Same result. I also waited for the Processing Vulkan Shaders prompt to finish instead of skipping (this took 10 minutes).
Connecting to transport service. Please wait.
Quoting: Purple Library GuyYou know, to this day every time I see "Master Chief" I find myself thinking "Master Chef".
Oh, are you asking about Chef Pretty Officer Mister Chief Spartan 117? :P
