I’ve been meaning to mention this for a while…But, honestly, I was hoping this was a big enough issue to be fixed a long time ago.
Right now, there is a huge bug for customs when it comes to selecting game modes. If you randomly choose a bookmarked game mode, that game mode will likely not work and adhere to a combination of the rules for the custom mode and the original 343 mode that had been selected previously.
There is a wonky work around–if you figure out what original game mode the custom one was created from, you can select that official mode first and then select the custom and it will work perfectly. I also find myself re-creating the game modes myself and files work just fine.
Especially now that we have the File Browser, it’s crucial for the popularity of customs to get this major issue fixed. This issue has been recreated on all of my friends systems and seems to be a global issue that I’ve seen mentioned on various Reddit posts.
From what I can tell, when I played customs in the early Halo 5 days, this wasn’t an issue. I remember it popping up sometime in December or early January–this could just be me having a faulty memory, but it didn’t even come with a content update–it seemed like it was a server side bug that appeared with a random server side update, if that helps.
There are other Forge bugs that have never gone away…but, I’ll save that for another post.
