Halo MCC on Steam Won't let me play, Now Im Banned

Hello all!

I am trying to play some multiplayer games to enjoy some time with old friends before I go back into the hospital for more treatments and don’t get the chance to do so again.

I picked up the MCC on steam and trying to load into multiplayer, it simply says “Loading: Connecting…” then it will kick me back to the main menu and say “Connection Interrupted.”

Now, I am banned from matchmaking. Each time, my friends have said that I was in the game briefly, but then left, however on my screen I never made it past the map and loading bar for connecting.

Is there any fix I can do to allow me to play? My friends playing on the xbox app seem to have no problem with it, and sadly, I do not have money to spend for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to do it there, but I also just spent $40 to buy it on steam…

Please help?

oh i did that. i was just trying to see if anyone here had found a work around…considering MAYBE it can be solved sooner with community help.

Another update.

ANOTHER ban for a bug that I have NO control over.

How is this only happening at certain times of the day?!
