I’m able to play multiplayer with the general population, but whenever I try to join friends or they try to join me it shows “connecting to lobby” for a long time and then eventually fails. Once that happens I have to go start another game such as Forza to “trick” Halo5 into resetting the multiplayer connection and allowing me to play with the general population. I would really like to connect wi my friends though - has anyone experienced this or found a work around?
just keep trying, restart the game you and your buddy both and it should work after few trys me and my buddy got it
