Halo Wars 2 Unplayable?

Just wanted to put something out there, most of you probably already know about this because you have experienced it for yourselves. Anyway playing online in Halo Wars 2 often kicks players out of their games unexpectedly which personally ruins the game experience. Don’t get me wrong Halo Wars 2 is a great game but due to these issues, I haven’t been wanting to play Halo Wars 2 as much lately. I may be in the middle of a winning game and just before you’re about to win the game, you get disconnected. This shouldn’t be happening at all because it makes the game not worth playing at this point in time because for all we know if we’re disconnected from a winning game or any game in general, it will most likely count as a lose and might even penalize you. This is unexceptable and 343 and whomever else involved with this game should be trying to fix this asap because it’s really frustrating for us players and is letting the game down.

The patch notes say they havent even FOUND the issue yet. So it may not even get fixed next patch. Some other issues not addressed yet… Leader abilities that do not function as described, and broken covenant units.

Still holding hope though.

U gotta be kidding me ?

I’ve gotta be honest, outside of a single co-op campaign issue where we got kicked I havent had this problem at all in about 50 hours of gameplay. Not discounting the issue but maybe I’m just an odd one out?

Honestly for me the way bigger issue is the campaign loading screen. I would say almost 1 in 3 times it will freeze and lock up the game. If they cant find the issue then adding a simple ‘back’ key would let you at least reload it without having to shut the game down

Sounds like you must be playing on PC seeing as you mentioned a “back key” so I guess this might be an Xbox only issue but don’t quote me on that, just assuming since you haven’t had the problem yet. It’s probably better if you haven’t had any encounter with the issue anyway, it is extremely frustrating and ruins the online experience.

Playing on PC, and I definitely had a lot of disconnects in MP myself, and also saw a lot of other players dropped from the game at the start. But supposedly, the next patch should fix that.

I’ve been dropped out a few times. I don’t know if it’s coincidence but it seems like most times it’s when I’m due a decent XP payout, like for a weekly challenge, and always when my team is winning.

Yeah, this game is basically unplayable for me. I can’t find matches in anything but 2v2 Blitz (I have yet to play one game of 3v3, which I played so much in the beta) or vs AI in regular matchmaking. And when I do find a game, most of the time it’s either horribly laggy or kicks me out. I don’t care about my rankings or wins/losses, I just care about being able to play this game that I paid for… It’s like MCC all over again.

Up until this weekend I have not had any issues in this regard, however both on Saturday and yesterday I was in a deathmatch (2v2) with a buddy of mine and both games were just us and the opposing team matching each other perfectly so it never went one way or another and after about 70 minutes the game drops us on the first match and the after 90 minutes it again drops us for the second match.

This is something that should probably be on the top of their to-do list simply because of how awful it is to play for that long to simply have it be for nothing.

Wierd… I have played about Half as much time as you, but the amount of times ive had errors is probably like… idk 5 percent, if that. :confused: Sucks if you had enough bug problems to post on the forums.
