File Share Request & Problems/Bugs

  1. It is there kind of, but you can only download old rendered videos that were rendered before March 30th, but you can only view/download them if they are on your File Share.

  2. According to the Bulletin from last night, it is planned for the future.

sooo so far file share sucks… i have all the same problems you guys are have + no of my videos work at all now =( and i mean rendered and not… so this is upsetting

I think he means videos that are not rendered. It would help put stuff on Youtube without having to buy a capture card or any other hardware.

Request: add a comment section below files

Request: Enable the addition of our own files to a fileset from our fileshare. Currently I need to tag my file with something random, search for that, adjust the search window until I find the file, then add it from the browser. It should work from just viewing my fileset.

It is coming it a future update for Waypoint by the sounds of it.

I’m just getting a look at the file browser now, so I don’t see much at the moment, but I do have a question, however. : I can see my Halo Reach File sets I already made, but how do I make more???

Has any one succesfully downloaded a MAP because I can’t! If you did so please tell me how!

I’ve downloaded multiple maps today by hitting the Send to Xbox button.

It is now LIVE :slight_smile:

Attempting to view the File Share or Recent Screenshots of an invalid gamertag yields no error message at all.
Bad File Share (“System”)
Bad Recent Screenshots (“ENTER YOUR GAMERTAG HERE”)

Additionally, a file with a blank author (aliased to “System”) is shown, clicking the author link leads to the Service Record of an invalid gamertag, which has a window title that makes no sense for the situation. No link should be shown at all; “System”, when inserted as an error trap, should be plain text.

> Found a bug! My download history also counts screenshots that I’ve loaded on “Most Downloaded Files” in game. Sometimes I like to see what people enjoy in this community. Like Elites…
>
> EDIT: Clear Download Queue doesn’t seem to work…

This bug existed since the game launched and is not specific to Waypoint. In-game, “View” and “Download” both add to the download count. It’s either a problem with the game or with the entire file system.

hey, uh, the site can’t load any of my file share and i have to refresh whatever page i’m on to make it show my rank/emblem. can you fix this? I’ve got some important stuff to do involving my files. also, could you maybe make the site a little more responsive/clean? everything seems to overlap or not show up due to the background’s existance.
Thanks if you help, too bad for me if you don’t.

Sounds to me like it might be a problem on your end, as I have zero issues (aside from the responsiveness issue) on my end. What browser (and its version) and operating system are you using?

Oh, and welcome to Waypoint! :slight_smile:

Files should be rendered as PNGs or use less compression as jpgs, as there is a noticeable loss in quality between what I see in theater mode, and the image I get from this site, regardless of the moniter I am using for either.

How do you file a bug report? I no longer receive points when I play halo matches. This happened when I hit 70 and completed Operator specialization. Since then I no longer get any point, and can no longer rank up in matches.

First off, this isn’t the place for it.

Second of all, you can’t, you’ve reached the max rank for now, 343i need to unlock the remaining six Specializations for you before you can continue to gain XP and rank up.

Hello, I purchased the game before the 20th and recieved an e-mail with a code that isn’t working. I just spoke with an Xbox rep and he directed me to this forum. He told me to say I bought Halo 4 before the 20th,I received the specializations code, however it keeps telling me its an invalid code. If you could please send me another code, I would love to give it another try. I would like to play the rest of the game that I qualify for and am entitled to. Thank you.

Hello, I got the game before the 20th, and even recieved the code already, however the code is invalid. I just got off the phone with Xbox and they directed me to this forum. I purchased Halo 4 before the 20th, recieved a code that doesn’t work, and if you could please send another code, I would like to give it another try please, I just really want to play the rest of the game I qualify for and am entitled to. Thank you for your time.
