i am encountering a series of bugs that make it nearly impossible to enjoy a game in Firefight.
(i only play Firefight, not a great fan of arena/warzone mode sorry for that)
i am curently level 147 (so… i would say i am not a new incomer)
since yesterday i encounter this kind of troubles:
-during game i get “ejected” from the game itself (i end with a picture of the warden or a loading background screen if you prefer)
no teamkill or whatever funny stuff…
i simply cant play or do anything, i am even forced to reboot the game
it’s very annoying (i just had this bug as i finished the final warden on Temple)
and of course i dont get the points
-i very often get a “profile sync error” message as i enter a multiplayer session when i start the game right after the Halo5 main screen
(cant get my avatar/dogtag, it’s painful…i have to quit the game and wait a few hours to get the thing working again correctly)
this is without mentionning a previous bug i had when selling REQ cards and that has been lasting for months (i press “x” and nothing happens, i cant get the sale screen, i am litterally forced to wait and/or return in REQ collection management menu to sell my cards)
Please 343, what should i do? Is it a server related issue? or an update that went wrong? (i had no problem in Mythic this week end)
will you fix this? should i re download the game ? (i have quite a low connection, i cant download nearly 100 gigs for nothing)
thanks for any help that would be provided… and thanks for that Firefight mode i really enjoy by the way (especially in Mythic)
so im not alone in this… im currently watching a loading icon spin around on a loading screen for heroic wzff… it happens too often… i have had this happen for the last 3 days, i came back to halo 5 to check wzff out… and while it has improved, this new series of server issues is making it hard for me to get into a good flow to a gaming session… and the profile sync errors… thats just irritating. these happen too often… come on 343i… this isnt funny. you have one of the biggest franchises on xbox and your screwing it up. at least when Bungie ran ot, the bugs were sorted… you just dont seem to really care. i have been a fan of the halo series since 2001… YOU ARE DESTROYING IT.
Ever since the last update, I have had 40+ disconnects, most in WWFF. I’ve never had issues with Halo 5 till now. It’s almost unplayable at times.
Hard resets seem to semi help but I’m 100% convinced it’s all on 343I/MS end as I’m only being disconnected from the Halo 5 server and nothing else. I really wish 343I/MS got there act together.
After the game loads there’s just a black screen sometimes and the only way to get out of it is to restart the game which gives you a loss. Hope this gets fixed
There were some server issues yesterday and the day before which seem to have stabalized now. Best thing to do is to add your feedback to this topic: Server Reports: Latency, Disconnects, etc

Same here. Lots of similar reports in the support section and they’ve acknowledged the issue. However, who knows if/when it will be fixed:

Thanks. I hope it’s actually fixed. Pretty sure it’s a 343/Halo issue since I was able to sign into MS. I couldn’t even post here last night to inquire about it because I had “reached my daily post limit”. LOL

Does xbox live status say it’s all good? It could be a possible factor.

Xbox Live was saying it’s all good the whole time it was an issue for me there and on Waypoint. That’s another reason I think it was a 343/Halo issue, even though specific game problems are often noted there.

Well hopefully it gets fixed soon. Maybe 343 should have a status tracker thing here on waypoint, that would be cool.

do you mean “empty the console cache” ?
if yes, well yes i did (with no result)
It seems the game didn’t crash for me today though…
(i dont know, perhaps someone at 343i did something with my account…)
and today i am encountering a new problem: i cant play Halo Wars definitive edition (i pre ordered the maxi Halo wars 2 pack)
i see people in my friend list that are playing the game, and my console tells me i am too early to play the game ( -_-")

No… a hard reset is when you hold the power button down till the console shuts off, I even unplug the power cord from the back of the console for a few seconds, and then start it back up and relaunch the game. It seems to fix a lot of H5 issues.
“a hard reset is when you hold the power button down till the console shuts off”
it’s what i meant when i said “empty the console cache” and yes i did it.
the problem wasn’t solved when i did it.
today i got “kicked out” from a game in Firefight once (so not as much often as 2 days ago but still the problem remains…)
i simply dont understand how can 343i release a game with so many bugs.
Halo MCC still has some issues (especially playing in coop in Halo2A) and Halo5 is even worse (actually it’s the game that has the most important number of problems/issues/bugs i have ever had… and i have a 40 000 games library…)

The black screen for loading which lasts a really long time before the start of any warzone game is relating to a bug with the new announcers.
10% of the time I would join into a whole new game but not be able to fully connect and I have no choice but to xbox dashboard and restart Halo 5 and I would get a Did Not Finish (DNF).
Only when I switch back to the default Sarah Palmer announcer am I able to connect to games properly.
I suspect that the game doesn’t start until the announcer doesn’t start its intro sequence, so if the new announcers are fail to load, you fail to get in. This results you to be in the game but I will show 7/8 or 11/12 and you can’t be booted out of the game.
I’m telling the problems are relating to the new announcers… all of them for warzone at least, not sure about arena.
