Anyone else experiencing this
I got the press menu to continue, cutscene starts and immediately crashes bug. That install took about 5 hours so figured was corrupted after trying a few clear cache/hard resets uninstalled and reinstalled - took about an hour this time - still crashes EVERYTIME. Managed to hit B before cutscene crashed and skip it. Wanted to watch it but it was the only way to avoid the freeze.
However lots of ‘waiting for players’ freezes after finding a match and loading in, auto declared victory a few games. Only had 2-3 actual matches over about 7 proper attempts.
i have it downloaded on my xbox one and when i go to my dashboard to launch it it brings it up in store and i click play but it just doesn’t open.
The halo wars 2 beta freezes every time I press the start button on my Xbox one console so I can’t even test the beta

> The Halo Wars 2 Multiplayer Beta is up and running! It is, of course, a “true beta,” with plenty of rough edges and a few players have reported a couple of issues, including one that doesn’t allow them into the main menu. We’re still working to isolate what those specific causes are, and the age-old ten-second power recycle seems to fix the problem for some players, however some have also reported that waiting for approximately 4 minutes at the Beta introduction screen or main menu screen before hitting A/Menu Button has resolved the issue for them. Stay tuned for more on the Halo Wars 2 Multiplayer Beta!

The game took forever to load, which is totally expected with betas. But what wasn’t expected was the part where it wouldn’t even let me play the game. As soon as the game started, a light blue panel sat on top of my screen saying, “Waiting for Players”. None of my controls responded, and I could not do anything but sit there as my teammate and enemies played the game without me. After waiting well over three minutes, I had to go to the dashboard and quit the game manually.
Here’s the pic I took showing what I was explaining above: https://i.imgur.com/l0Rfepo.jpg
After downloading the beta, the following problems persist making the beta currently unplayable for me anyway.
- After hitting the start button after beta downloaded the game will not launch the selected playlist. (trouble with that required a game configuration update that is not stated and the only fix to that was to reset the game)
- After reseting, the game configuration update prompt showed during the tutorial video. After the update and selected to restart the game freezes. (restart the beta over again)
-After another restart another prompt pops up for the game configuration update which in turn restarts the game - Title menu music continues to play for a significant time without the title screen itself.
- After selecting start (after the game configuration update finally sticks and a few restarts later) the game will continually freeze on the title menu.
Currently I am really looking forward and am excited about Halo Wars 2 after being a big fan of the first and a long running fan of the entire Halo Franchise. Currently though with a beta that is currently unplayable due to the fact I cant make it past the start screen is truly disappointing.
Edit
And Currently the other problem I have experienced when the beta FINALLY allowed me to get to the playlist menu is that it will never connect to the host. Without the prompt to allow any players to be a party leader it is kind of counterproductive in my views.
It seems that the hunters can damage themselves after the first upgrade to them.
Yesterday download the beta and the menu closed the game constantly . Right now I could already play but when i go into combat only see the effects of the flamethrower shot and warthog . I do not see the other effect and only see health bars . Could check this to better appreciate the game . Thanks
Um, is this Beta playable? I’ve tried 7 times now to start the Beta, and it keeps freezing on the Halo Wars 2 screen, where it says to press B to skip.
I literally can not play it freezes every time i try to go into the menu
At around the 5:30 mark, the game freezes for me. Is anyone else having this problem?

Don’t forget the commander point that makes it take longer to capture a point. I guarantee you when you have your units there it doesn’t take longer. However, sometimes it does just reset to 0 and that’s frustrating.
I’m having an issue where when loading the game, the black screen will never transition, and just stay black forever. Also sometimes when selecting all local troops, it will only select one. Thank you for addressing the issue starting the game by “waiting at the spartan standing” menu for a few minutes, but sometimes even this does not take.

Sometimes it just starts over again and again for me when trying to capture something without any opposition, taking twice or thrice as long to do so. 
Hey while giving my units commands to travel, they sometimes run into walls or rocks and stay still afterwards.
Also if I command my units to go across the map for instance they try to sometimes reach that place by simply moving in one direction. Sometimes they run into walls rather than going around them. I would suggest just making the AI Unit navigation smarter

Yea, a lot for people including me are having to and I just want to play. Its now the second day and no fix.
the only issue im having is the main menu freeze i allways restarting the game like 10 to 20 times for it to work
When I attempt to make more troops, it’ll start the process, but nothing will be made, using my points without making soldiers.

Same here. What I have to do is wait about three minutes, then press X instead of the start button. That works for me.
