Hi All,
I recently got the MCC through GamePass, and after replaying some campaign missions from previous games, decided to hop into multiplayer. I set it up to be H2R and H3 big team options (8v8). I keep getting the same pattern though, which is incredibly irritating. I will join a game, everything will be fine for about 5-10 minutes, then suddenly everyone will freeze, the game will select a new host, I’ll be disconnected, then receive a longer and longer ban. The first one was five minutes on my very first game of multiplayer, but they’re getting out of hand by this point. I’ve only been able to play 3 full multiplayer games over the last couple days without getting disconnected and then banned, and it just happened again.
I am now banned from multiplayer until tomorrow at 6AM. My internet is fine (>80mbps speed), my ports are open, my NAT is open, every other multiplayer game is running just fine. I’m not the kind of person to leave a game even when doing poorly, so the fact that I’m being punished due to no fault on my end, and in fact what seems to be an issue with the host is quite bothersome. Is this a known issue with the MCC, specifically Halo 3? Is there any way to escalate things and have a ban lifted prematurely? I just can’t seem to find any support documentation on bans due to disconnection anywhere.
Thanks!
