Anyone else just get super long load screens that either end up with you getting kicked for inactivity or just putting you on an endgame stat screen that counts as 0s toward your stats? I mainly play BTB, so I’ve only experienced it while searching for it, but it’s happened at least 5 times since the season 2 update. I usually end up Alt+F4ing if it goes on more than a couple of minutes or so, which still counts as a quit and 0s.

Yep this happens to me too. Sometimes if I try moving around it’ll immediately jump to the game, but most of the time I either wait it out (to get kicked for inactivity) or relaunch.

The longest loading screen I have is when I start the game. I have no idea what it’s doing. Was a lot shorter the very first time.
Are you on Xbox or PC? If Xbox, which model? If PC, are you using a SSD or HDD?
PC with SSD. This only started after Season 2 dropped.
Wow, litterally as I typed this I got booted to the main menu. 
If you check my BTB stat page on halotracker.com you can see how many times it’s happened.
I wish I had a suggestion. There any pattern to it? A specific map or gametype maybe?
You could try running a network diagnostic tool at the same time to see if it’s your internet connection.
Nah, it’s definitely something 343 broke with the S2 update.
This may sound stupid, but if you have the Steam version then try verifying the game files. It’s a rare necessity for MCC. No guarantee it’ll do anything though.
I verified my game files through steam and it worked for a lot longer, then it just started crashing instead of kicking me for inactivity. New feature instead of having to alt + f4 I guess. This only ever happens after playing a few BTB matches then getting into one already in progress from how the loading ‘bar’ progresses.
This is still an issue, and apparently they’ve basically always known about it

There was a big issue with Big Team Battle around that time. I don’t think it’s correct to tie this into that unless it’s a very clear connection.
