Multiplayer Beta – Official Bug Report Thread

My game will not load, every time i get to the screen where it shows the tank and cars it freezes maybe once every 25 game restart it will go to the next halo wars 2 black screen and crash… in 2 days of trying to play this iv only seen the charator selection page twice out off 100-200 game resets

List of Defects:

  • Game freezes on boot up - Game freezes upon start button push - When starting a match and in “Waiting for players screen” during load, the previous matches score(last game) shows up on the screen behind the “Waiting for players” prompt. - When selecting “all units” some units do not move until individually selected - Intermittently, units get stuck on the map, and are unable to move - When selecting units, and sending them to a specific location, the do not move. They are unable to path to specific locations, so you have to point them to a nearby location instead. - Intermittently, when attempting to invite friends, you click on the friend, but nothing happens. - Intermittently, when trying to capture domination points, the progress resets if a team mate is trying to take the same point. - When starting a game, if you try and start a base add on quickly(power generator/supply pad) it doesn’t register.

1ª vez que he descargado la beta, que tomó cerca de 3 horas para cargar y cuando se terminó , me trató de jugar , pero no pudo pasar de la " Bienvenido a la Beta " y presione página " A" . He intentado fijar esto de ir de nuevo al tablero de instrumentos y salir del juego para intentarlo de nuevo . La misma cosa. Intentado que esperar 4 minutos antes de pulsar A, pero aún no funcionaría . Repetí este proceso hasta que decidí que desinstalar y volver a instalar las 3 am anoche. Se despertó e hizo todo el asunto de nuevo , todavía no podía conseguir más allá de la página " Bienvenido a la Beta " . que hizo un restablecimiento completo en mi consola varias veces hasta esta tarde cuando decidí desinstalar y volver a instalar el juego de nuevo . Todavía estoy atrapado en el el Bienvenido a la página beta . ¿Cómo es que no han sido capaces de solucionar el problema sencillo.?

Ive tried playing it multiple times, but it freezes completely as soon as the tutorial video starts and won’t respond at all.

Played about 15-20 games last night and I am super impressed with the looks of new and improved units.
Couple of bugs I have found:

Playing as Cutter, if you’re quick enough you can upgrade 2 supply pads for the price of one.
My wraiths very frequently disappeared in the centre of the map at Domination point A.

I’m not sure if this is a bug, but it seems only infantry units are able to capture the domination points and the 5 power supply locations scattered around the map.
I would like to get people’s thoughts on this, and whether only allowing infantry is a good idea?

Suggestions:
As was in Halo Wars 1, include the location of team mates current field of vision on the mini map. Also include a sound (as was in the first game) when you click the left thumb stick down, indicating a waypoint/fire fight - isn’t as easy to pick up without sound if you’re not looking at the map.
Health bars aren’t as clear as they were.
I would also love if there was a formation option - if lets say you had a tank squad, there would be an option to position your long range wraiths behind the shorter ranged marauders.
Or as another example to have your cannon fodder at the front and your specialised units at the back.
The option to zoom out further - I love to know what’s going on all over the map and it brings more of an RTS feel to the game.

That’s my contribution so far. Playing some more tonight and will update this thread if I notice anything else.

I downloaded this beta as early as i could and fter installing it the game loads gives the “Thank you for your participation in this beta” page and says “A - Continue” i tried press A but nothing happens. I thought maybe there is a patch i didn’t get so i uninstaled and re-installed but the same issue occurred. I would like to participate in the beta but cant get past this screen

I have read online other people have been suffering from the same problem but i have yet to find a solution.

I have 100mbps internet speed and a gold pass so internet should not be an issue. However i still don’t know the reason for this issue

After pressing the hamburger button or start button… I get the Halo Wars 2 frozen on my screen the beginning of what looks to be a cut scene does not actually start playing… That is the furthest I’ve been able to get I’ve been attempting this for the last 15 minutes without getting a second further!

I found a workaround to the annoyance of the game freezing by pressing the X button and select my profile and then I am actually able to see a cut scene but it freezes if I don’t select a profile why am I forced to select a profile to watch an open cut scene.

It still gets stuck on the -continue after it says welcome to beta. uninstalled and reinstalled. looking forward to try to play thanks

Don’t know if it’s been reported yet or not, but the Jackrabbits have a bad habit of getting lost in the map. The get stuck in the bottom of the map and cannot be retrieved. This happened with the scout vehicles in hw1 too on maps like frozen Valley.

I try tasking them to go clear a cap point and then instead they fall off the map. I don’t know how they get there.

Also some times the building select doesn’t work at the bases causing problems when trying to build things.

The game likes to crash if I try to skip the tutorial video at the beginning. It also crashes occasionally when it asks me to press start to get to the same video.
Regularly the vehicles and marines shoot in random directions away from the enemy instead of at the target but they still win.
When enemies (any unit) come from the fog of war they stay invisible for a while even when my units are shooting at them.
The button commands seem to have some kind of lag when you press them before the game accepts it e.g. RB to select on screen units needs to be pressed 2 or 3 times, asking the main base to build marines 3 or 4 at a time; it can’t handle it well.

Gotta say though I absolutely love this game it’s such an improvement on the last!

The connection to the online server has been lost. That’s what I’m told every time I try to start a game. Is it me or is it the game. Someone please help

Regularly several vehicle units like the kodiak and vulture are shown to be overlapping and inside another of the same type. They then move and fight as one lookin like the army is smaller and then they become stuck on one another until they are destroyed.

I’m getting the menu bug as well, can’t play the beta. I have noticed the longer I wait before pressing start, the further I get. Going to wait the 4 minutes and hope it works

I never had a promblem downloading it, and beta itself is pretty good im definitly pre ordering it

It took me 4 attempts to play a round. I liked how the game controls are like Halo Wars One, and I like the idea of having to get power AND supplies to build good units. So far I would give it a 4/5

I had one bug where building the air base and buying units at it wouldn’t work until about the 3rd try, even though I had the resources, but it worked a few minutes later

Too many comments to look through if the bugs i have encountered has been mentioned already so i will add the bugs i found.

  • The game removes all effects and particle effects so you can’t see if you have put down a healing area for an example and all the gun shots from all units don’t render so you see your army do their animations but nothing is shown. - The RB button to target all units in a local area seems to be bugged. Many times i press RB to gain control of all my units in a local area and nothing happens. I believe the game thinks I’m trying to hold down the button to target every unit in the map but since I’m not doing it nothing happens. - A couple of unit abilities just don’t work. Example the Brute Chieftain shows he has a Vortex ability but it can’t be used. Same thing with Grunts and a couple of more units. - There is a bug that prevents you from target and choose a building to build for at least 5 seconds in the beginning of every match. - I don’t think this is a bug but i will add it just in case. The precision of the right thumbstick is not good. I have to turn it way more than needed to target a building i want to build, unit to recruit and thing to upgrade than i need to do. It’s like the targeting is sticky. It sticks to what you have chosen too much, making it difficult and a hassle to target what you really want. - **When the opponent team leave the match before the match is over when you are winning it gives you a “Defeat”. It gives you that even if you are crushing your opponents. In the score screen it will say you lost even though you won but it will say “Victory” above your team but still say “Defeat” in the upper right corner of the screen.**These are all the bugs i have found so far that i have not seen been mentioned. I may or may not update this comment depending on if i find more bugs.

People do not forget that this thread is all about sharing bugs we players have encountered. This is not a place to talk about the bugs and try and fix them yourselves. This thread is only made for letting the developers know about bugs. Talking about it all makes it way harder for them to look through and find bugs people have shared. Going though every comment and seeing only a few sharing bugs and a ton of people just talking about the same bugs over and over is a waste of their time. That is why i couldn’t see for myself if someone mentioned the bugs i found because way too many people are just talking about random things and about the most known bugs that has been mentioned hundreds of times.

I was in the game just fine doing moderately well for my first game, and at the 15:49 mark my game froze. It kinda sucks cuz we were winning I think on domination. Still getting used to the game though.

I’ve also had every one of these happen to me. I’ve also had one instance of the Waiting for Players screen being frozen and not allowing me to play. The match had begun and my partner was building bases and moving units, but I was completely locked out of any controls and had to back out of the beta entirely.
