Multiplayer Beta – Official Bug Report Thread

Frequent freezing, have to restart the game several times, mainly freezing on the menu with the image of the Spartan and warthog in background, also experiencing several minute long loading times when loading into match and the “waiting for player” blue box stayed across my screen during the game whilst the others were playing which stopped me from being able to use any buttons. Hope this helps, keep up the good work!

It says Welcome to the Beta, but than it wont let you continue. It just freezes on continue.

I have encountered some rather glaring bugs. (1)When I started the game it never loaded the game’s home screen and remained black but the music still played. (2) A second one is when I started a match, it loaded correctly, but the “waiting for players” screen overlay never went away while the game continued to move and my ally was moving his units as well. I was unable to move or use any button other than the Xbox home button on my controller. (3) A rather annoying bug I found is the particle effects and just the effects of player powers were not visible at all, the sound played however. Right after I had completed the ability, the game ended in a defeated tagline and went to the endgame menu. However no indication of what caused the defeat could be found. Each instance of these bugs happened on a different load of the game. The game is under development, but the units move clunky as well.

Tutorial on how to get past the main menu freezing glitch:

Crashed at start of video every time. I’ve even deleted and re-downloaded the game. Well i guess the beta was a bust for me. Hope those who can play it enjoy it.

So it won’t even let me past the login screen for the Beta on my Xbox One. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and that didn’t even work. Been waiting months for this. It kinda sucks that I can’t even get into without it freezing on the login screen.

Don’t know if this has already been mentioned yet, but the warthog cannot gather resources, but the chopper can.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKE THE BETA’S SOUND AFFECT FOR THE BATTLE RIFLE ??!!!

> I have it downloaded and it won’t let me play it it’s stuck on a PRESS A TO CONTINUE screen :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

Me too, so sad…anyone knows why?

HYPED FOR THE FULL RELEASE

I’m stuck on the screen that says “Thank you for participating in this beta.”

There really needs to be another game type/playlist than domination. The matches are too short, by the time you upgrade everything and are ready for a battle its too late - you’ve already won. I hope they release another playlist during this beta.

Whenever I try to hit the start button at Halo Wars 2’s menu, the game freezes and shows the game’s logo. I am still unable to play. :frowning:

I got a bug where my headphones basically sounded like a someone had just drilled through them and straight into my ear, lasted about 30 seconds and has only happened once

freezes on title screen sometimes

I think, a strategy game is better playable with mouse and keyboard.
With controller only it is very difficult.

I reached Gold Tier Rank III yesterday and have a few bits of feedback about my experience playing.

  • It seems like resources are too slow to acquire - I think it should be sped up a tad more. I found it troubling that it was longer to make units than it was in Halo Wars 1. - Players shouldn’t start with multiple units upon the start of the match - only one unit. (I understand that this is a beta and you the developers want games to probably go by faster to collect more data and feedback, but Halo Wars 1 had a solid mechanic of only allowing you with a single Warthog or Chopper to start - I liked this a lot). - Games felt rushed - again this is a beta so I stand by what I said before about wanting to get through as many games as possible, and I know this game mode required players to rush to points and hold them as long as possible, but I noticed that if you have decent communication with your teammate for this game mode, you could easily catch the opponents off guard at the start of the match and win extremely fast by hitting their bases immediately. I know the game is a play your own way sort of deal like the first game but with so many units to start off with at the start of the game, you can certainly end the games very fast (this could be the intention though). - The Commander Powers menu (upgrade menu) UI is clunky and the icons are too small. I think the information should be enlarged. - There’s a considerable amount of lag after you release the Commander Powers left trigger to hide it. - Probably is obvious but the X Button is hidden on the main menu. For those who don’t know, this brings up the list of players online and the option to invite them to play. Also, inviting them off this menu almost never works and is not responsive. - When units are spawned from your base and left there, they like to run around in place and sort of -Yoink!- out. I got a good chuckle out of it but I know it wasn’t intended. Units should spread out on their own and not clump up after being spawned. - Sometimes when units are attaching other players or enemies, they don’t show the animation that they are attacking. i.e. Tank would be facing the other way during combat but would be noticeable on enemy health bar that it was doing damage. - Units sometimes don’t attack after being commanded and remain idle. - I enjoyed the color scheme for the game, and the architecture of just this one map was nice. - Give Cpt. Cutter back his trademark mustache please, also the same voice actor from Halo Wars 1 maybe? There’s probably a reason why the old voice actor wasn’t chosen. - Give Grunts more chatter. - The Elites don’t really sound like the elites from Halo 5 or even other Halo games - maybe it’s just me. - Give the base a neat animation when you lock it down like in Halo Wars I. - Add a Screen Brightness option. - Add Skulls to final game like in the first game. - #MakeScarabRushingGreatAgain2k17Thank you for working on an awesome game.

The Vulture special ability dose not have a graphic so when used a random explosion occurs where you told it to but no graphic to show how it happened. And a lot of the times wont show artillery animation

I agree i’m not feeling the domination game mode

I am reporting the issue of the game being unable to start at all. When ever the intro video starts the game freezes up and stops working i have been told other people had this problem and some ways to fix it but none of them have been working the longest i have gone into the video without it freezing is where it starts explaining the rock paper scissor dynamic between the groups but was only able to get there after uninstalling and reinstalling it 3 times and waiting at the title screen for 20min if there are any ways to get around it i would love to know i tried everything i was told but if it could get fixed for the end of the beta so i can at least get one game in it would e much appreciated.
