Anyone else have issues trying to play btb? I’ll search for a game and get put in a lobby with 15/16 players. We will sit there for 5 minutes and never get another player. People will start to dashboard quit, and then the game will either kick us all out or freeze. It’s crazy how hard it is to play a single btb game. If I play halo 5 for an hour I’m lucky to get two games in because of how long it takes to actually get a match to start. I’m sitting right now in a search lobby that found 15 players, sat here for 2 minutes, one player dashboard quit, still sitting here 3 minutes later. I mean come on 343!! You gotta fix this. Ok 3 people have now dashboard quit… and finally 7 minutes later it kicked us out saying can’t join. So much fun.
Hey, TrUoK003,
Unfortunately, this issue seems to occur because the game finds 16 players and one player decides to back out after the map begins loading. I’m not sure why it’s so much more difficult for the game to find a player in this state, but it seems to have a much harder time finding that last player. Perhaps it wants to ensure appropriate skill balancing, so it tries to find another player of the same skill? Sorry I can’t help you with this problem, I agree that it isn’t fun.

Actually, in my experience it seems like the 16th slot is “being filled” by a player who recently completed a match but their Halo 5 froze, as its ypical when closing the Post Game Carnage Report from BTB matches. The system keeps that joining player in queue, but since their game is frozen they will never join. Game never properly dumps the player unless that player restarts their game. A lot times people don’t know this and sit there for awhile before realizing their game crashed and has just been sitting there waiting on nothing.

I hadn’t thought of that explanation, but it would appear quite likely given the frequency of freezing after finishing matches. It seems to happen very often across all playlists.

Yeah I never have a problem with lobbies filling in almost anything BUT BTB, and did notice it happen when Castle Wars was up a few times. 4v4s rarely happened but it’s pretty constant in 8v8 lists.
