So I figured I would finish one of my forge maps today so I was putting the finishing touches on it saved it and backed out. Edited the file name and description then reloaded it to finish it completely. Every time it starts I am under the map in monitor mode and can’t do anything. I can’t even move or go to spartan mode. Now basically the map I have been working on is gone. 343 here is something you can fix. Maybe this thread will get closed from a monitor too cause idk it shows something that needs fixed and is wrong with the game…343’s imperfect little halo game that ddoesn’teven come close to as the best. That’s all happy forging or in this case happy making a map and losing it.
Man I know your pain, I’ve been working on a map for a few days now and was finally get to grips with the overly complicated controls when the game decided to -Yoink- me over multiple times. First they kicked me out of my first 2 hour session with the map (the loading screen was just a second kick to the teeth because it was that get req’d screen that I got thrown at me) and it didn’t save btw. Secondly was the fact that those interactive switches would never stay where I wanted them to, they would always rubber band back to where they spawned in. Lastly when I went to save the map so I could go play multiplayer with a friend it said that it saved right. So I’m thinking to myself “Okay cool I’ll come back to this later” only to find out that it didn’t save -Yoink-, initially I was rather pissed but I decided -Yoink- it I’ll give it another go. 8 hours later when I go to save, what does it do? It doesn’t even tell me if its saved or not, I had to find out the hard way.
I just wanted to vent somewhere and this post seemed like a suitable place to do so, as for your problem I believe there is a method of getting a friend to join then leave then join again to place a spawn point in order for your map to work again. Don’t quote me though I could be wrong on that one. Anyway hope you have better luck next time with this broken mess of a game.
happened to me a while ago, my pride and joy where I actually did some amazing stuff with the blocks we had… needless to say I am not going to be forging for a while until I get some pre-built structures like back in the Reach days and until I am absolutely sure that this reoccurring issue is resolved. heck this happened just 4 weeks ago and I am still salty about it.
That’s the thing , I already have a bunch of spawn points placed on the map but every time I load it up to finish it, it spawns me under the map. Where’s 343’s acknowledgement of this? Where is a fix for it?
Have you tried starting up the map on different teams?

Yeah the pre-built structures were nice to have. I don’t even want to make anymore maps cause I’m afraid if I do then they will end up like my first one and i will not be able to go finish them since it likes to spawn me under my already made map which is still useless now.

Yes and I have even tried switching teams from the pause menu. That’s the only thing I can do when I start it up is pause
If you have any friends on at the time load up the map and once you are in have them join. They should spawn up above the map and all they have to do is put in a neutral initial spawn point and you should be spawn above the map. This seems to be the only work around for the time being since putting in spawns seems to screw something up.

Ok that’s good to know. They need to fix the spawns messing it up that way I can make maps.
