Game crash + Quit ban = Ridiculous

MCC has been frequently crashing during games lately - it’s been happening to me at least once every 8-10 games. This, combined with the new quitting policy where leaving a game for any reason is an automatic 5-minute matchmaking ban, is completely ridiculous. Not only do I kicked out of the game and leave my team at a disadvantage, now I have to wait 5 minutes to start a new game, all because MCC has a bug that made my game crash. And god forbid MCC crashes twice in one night, then it’s a 15 minute ban! What a great system!

Its unfortunate that the game cannot differentiate between actual purposeful quitting and game crashes outside of your control. I hardly crash ever when playing MCC. What system are you playing on? Any issues with other games?

I run on the Series X and experienced a Crash last night playing Halo CE, I have skins disabled on both CE & H3, it should be a main priority cause if Harsh Bans are to exist, they need to have people addressing this since it’s becoming rampant

I never quit a match unless half of my team has already. At that point the server has my back. It doesn’t however when I’m just trying to load into a game when suddenly the loading takes forever, then stuck in limbo, disconnect from the match, and then banned. It’s not just one time either. What is the deal? I can assure you 343 that every time I’ve “quit” from MCC this year has been an involuntary disconnect. Please help those effected so we can just get back to playing halo.

Just curious, I have been seeing more frequent crashes lately, but only in Halo 3 matches. I play on an Xbox One X. Is everyone seeing this across all games, or just one?

I have experienced crashes only in Halo 2: Anniversary games in Matchmaking. Twice loading into a game, twice crashed and dashboarded, yet only banned once curiously enough. I play on the original Xbox One.

I’ll never live down the fact I was adamant in saying (long before the new quit bans) that the system needs to be able to differentiate between quits and crashes/disconnects and until then the quit bans should not be increased. I guess I knew this would happen because how many times I’ve crashed.

Crashing is the main problem for me, while I’ll say it has gotten better in the last couple weeks it seems to be happening about once every few days now, before that about once to twice a day… I do play on an original Xbox one. I mostly play CE 4v4. Disconnects are less of a problem but still happen.

Please work on this 343.

Please make sure to head over to the Halo Support Site and report details of any crashes that you receive: https://aka.ms/HaloSupport. Have a read over the latest known issues and submit a ticket if your issue is not listed.

Thanks!

I’ve been experiencing crashes on Halo 4 (playing on a PC) - every Skyline match I’ve loaded into crashes, to the point where I have to force reboot my PC. Then - I get banned for 10 minutes. Hopefully 343 will get this sorted out, because all of my other matches have been extremely fun!

+1000, and the quit bans clearly aren’t working, I still get the same amount of idle players. Just had someone DDoS me and I get punished for it.

This has been happening much more ever since Season 7 came out. The game crashes about once a night for me. And of course I get banned.

If you can’t fix your game and your ban system can’t differentiate between crashes and quitters, then you need to get rid of the ban system. It is totally unhelpful to keep banning people just because they are trying to play your game.

My friend crashes like every 3-4 games on Pc as well ( Steam), doesnt matter what we are playing, we normally end up quitting becuase he ends up with 30 mins bans for no fault of his own. This has been occuring since Season 6 or 7. We have tried everything, from opening ports to other CDM stuff nothing works, This is an oobvious issue with MCC. If there wasnt a Ban we would just work through the issue, but there is and honestly it makes us not want to play any Halo games at all.

Bad part is 343i has already announce they will not be doing thier updates to MCC after Dec 6th. Which is sad because if Infinate sucks as bad as Halo 5 MCC is a fall back, but if it doesnt work well guess Halo was gonna die one day anyway.

Well, it happened again tonight. This time it was even worse. It did that thing where the map took a really long time to load and then the whole game crashed back to the main screen. It gave the game failed to load error message and then banned everyone! (At least everyone I was in a party with also got banned.)
