I’ve had the game since launch and I was excited for forge to come out. When it came out I was completely amazed at how wonderful it was until my friend (an awesome forger) tried showing us a map and the spawn points were acting up and we no longer had access to the map in forge or custom games. He made sure that he put down the initial spawns and respawns, but the game decided to ignore that for whatever reason. A couple days ago, I run into the same issue and I’m 101% positive I put in spawn points and respawn points. I worked on the map for several days and everything was fine. Now all of a sudden, I can’t spawn in anymore no matter what I try. This has been an issue since the release of forge which I believe was 9-10 months ago. So far, there’s nothing I’ve seen or heard of that can be done to fix any maps that end up like this. This isn’t the first post concerning this matter and I guess the others were just washed away by the other forum post being made. So far, I only known the glitch to be on maps made on the Alpine Canvas so I would avoid forging in general on that canvas for now until this glitch is patched up. Has anyone else run into this problem and is their a way to fix it now with the new Halo app? Or will the map be be broken on the Halo app as well?
A glitch like this to not be taken notice of and fixed for the time it’s been around is just baffling. Hours and hours of work goes into what us players make for other people to enjoy and when something like this happens it is just a huge disappointment. I’m sure that all forgers would agree on that this should be looked into because all of those who put the time and work into their maps would not want this to happen to them. I think that it’s important that this gets more attention because 343 wants more builders on Halo and this is the last thing they need for new forgers who work hard just for them to not be able to access their later on.
If anyone has a solution to this, can you please try explaining how to fix this issue.
It’s an unfortunate error that I’ve lost maps to as well. If you are sure you placed spawns then you may have placed spawns for one team but are trying to start the game as another? Try changing teams. as far as I know this only happens if you don’t place spawns.

Nope. That didn’t work. And I set them all to neutral spawns any ways and I wasn’t able to spawn in using a neutral game mode in custom games. And yeah, I looked up videos on it and says this happens if you have no respawns in forge, but the thing is I did have them and I worked on my map for over a week and it was fine in forge and in custom games.
I think the glitch deletes all spawns or something without the player even doing anything to the spawns or it could be something else. Not sure.
The spawn bug was fixed back in February. Even if you don’t have spawn points down forge mode should be using back up spawns.
Edit: Just tested it out in forge by deleting all spawn points and I was able to load back in fine.

Well then idk what the problem is because my map still doesn’t work. Mind helping me out by downloading my map and saving it as something new if you can spawn in?
Which gametype does the map support? If it’s Infection, then please know that the Infection gametype is glitched. There are several issues regarding round 1 spawning. If you are using FFA, then there is a legitimate issue (that is if you DO have Visibility Check set to OFF in the gametype settings; this option allows spawning even if the points are directly facing one another. Check this before starting the Customs match).

After February it did come back in a future update, not sure if it was 2 or 3 months after.

The problem was with spawn points in the air not working which caused parallax’s back up spawns to fail. Whatever is going on is something else I can almost guarantee.
Yes, I am experiencing this glitch a lot at the moment…
At first it says “saving failed” when I try to save. Often I’d restart Forge then just to see that I’m not being able to spawn back in. It happened on Tidal, Glacier and Parallax.
You know what I do now to lessen the damage of map loss? I keep the original spawn points on the map when you first enter a Forge map. When saving fails now and I restart, I successfully can spawn into my map.
What I also do now is save my most important builds as prefabs. If it does occur that I can’t spawn on my map, then at least I can easily re-create my map with placing my prefabs.

This.
I also made a prefab out of all the necessary spawns and I chuck them into every map
A forge glitch I’ve noticed is certain objects don’t load in properly
IT HAPPENED AGAIN!! And this time I didn’t save my new structures as prefabs…
-Yoink- me…
Never seen that one before. I guess it might help to know more about your map.
- Is this happening on the XBox One forge or the recent PC version of Forge? - When you load the map again in forge (after attempting to play a custom game), are the initial spawns still there? - Are the initial spawns perhaps too close to something else? If there isn’t enough room to spawn then it won’t spawn. - Is the physics property of the initial spawns set to phased and are they maybe sunk into the ground? If so, set them to fixed or normal so they are on the ground rather than in the ground. - What map map template are you using? - Did you put any scripts on the spawns?
