All day, getting the screen Connecting to Lobby which is unceremoniously followed by the red screen “Attention There was an issue with the Halo 5 Guardians server. Please try again.” Worked yesterday and everyday since release, although did have this same issue a few times randomly but previously resolved as quickly as it occurred.
Any ideas on what’s up? Thank you!
I’m not sure. I have bee having the same problem all day, haven’t been able to play at all and you’re the first I’ve seen having the same problem. I’ve been trying to figure out what it could be with no luck, so if anyone has any idea on what it is/how to fix it that would be great!
UPDATE post 2 hours. Now working. Played a few games of MCC Halo 3, and when I returned to Halo 5 not an issue now, if that may help. Cheers.
Mine still isn’t working. When I try to select Arena, Warzone, or Co-op it doesn’t even try to connect to the lobby anymore. It just does nothing. No idea what the deal is or how to fix it.
I’ve been having the same problem since 10am! (I live in Australia). These are the first few messages I’ve seen from people having the same problem. It looks like we just have to wait it out…I can’t even click on the lobby anymore.
I have experienced this a couple times and it seemed to coincide with admin changes being made to the game (i.e. The “daily win” packs being added last night). I just had to restart the game.
I can’t play since the Thursday, I’ve restarted the console many times, cut the power, played other games, IDK what to do now…
I even can’t enter Halo Channel
Yup cant get a game either. Just stuck in lobbies forever. Its a bit too similar too how the mcc was for my liking.
Same. I cant get to the lobby and if i do i cant play online. Can anybody tell me why?
Same here, also all of my friends, but apparently everything is okay because 343 thinks the servers are all dandy!
i was able to play earlier today but now it says the same thing
Same, played 2 games now i keep getting an error
Same issue, though mine just started about 5 to 10 minutes ago.
unrelated, but my friends and I cannot connect to xbox live party chat either. not sure what the issue is here. At this point it could be a combination of the halo 5 server and xbox live service.
Same here,
Got the following error while looking for players:
I’ve encountered this issue so much more with Halo 5 than any other online game I’ve played (I didn’t have MCC when it first came out).
Im getting an error message saying there is something wrong with xbox live party services… But i am not in a party. Any clue how to fix this??
Hate Halo not working , but xenoblade chronicles x is calling.
I think is a 343 Industries problem with their servers, i have the same problem with matchmaking lobbys.
Some script kiddies are DDoS’ing XBL and PSN. Probably butthurt their accounts got banned for hacking. Just give it a few hours for them to fix it.

doesn’t the secret service and nsa keep tabs on them? especially since they’re openly tweeting it.
