Over the last few months, I have been noticing the game freezing more and more often during the intermission phase between matches.
It only occurs when I try to back out of the playlist after a match has ended. This is during the intermission countdown.
I am backing out always in between games, not while in progress - and for various normal reasons such as:
I’m done for the day and don’t want another match to start - I want to switch playlists to something else - I need a quick break because I want to look at stats in more detail or open some req packs. - Or really any reason - I should be able to back out and not have the game freeze!It does not happen EVERY time I back out, but probably a few times a week - which is frustrating.
I will hit ‘B’ to back out, sometimes the screen dims a little, as if it is trying to back out - other times it goes black like it has almost completed the action.
The outcomes have varied:
Sometimes it actually keeps me in the lobby and starts a new match - Sometimes it just stays on that dimmed screen forever - Lately when it does this, I just dashboard and close the gameAnyone else experiencing this?
Is this a known issue, with a fix in the works?
Yeah, it’s been happening for a long time. I find it happens the most for me in BTB which has the longest freezes that can last 20 seconds to 5 minutes (I usually just quit the build on the long ones) and in Warzone Firefight which has freezes that usually last from 3-15 seconds.
They have addressed it in the past and said they fixed one of the freezing issues, but it’s obviously still happening.
Known issues since last year. They promised us a fix, delivered that fix but it didn’t work, promised us another fix that has yet to come, and here we are 6+ months later still waiting for them to fix their game. It might be safe to say that the fix will never come, or if it does it won’t work or will break Forge/Customs like every update before it did. We’ll have to accept H5 as MCC 2.0 as far as unresolved issues go, and either move on from the game like so many others have or just deal with it until H6 comes out and does the same thing all over again
it occurs even if you don’t back out. After a match, while waiting in the lobby, I can sometimes get kicked out of the game or it will freeze before the new game starts.

I haven’t had that happen to me yet. Only if I try to back out of the lobby.
This issue is still present. I play a lot of Warzone Firefight and while in intermission, browsing the menus and exiting out of said menus freezes the game completely. They need to fix this, I don’t want to have to keep re launching Halo 5 just to play another round.
