> Even with the new update, the beta crashes and kicks me out of games consistently. I will not be preordering this game, because at this rate, it seems to be very buggy.
Jeez, didn’t you read the message when you fire up the game about glitches, hitches and crashes? Bugs are what betas are all about! If the were no bugs, the game would probably launch tomorrow!
During a match, around the 15-18 minute mark, My frame-rate keeps hitting 0 and never comes back. So, I’m stuck there until i close HW2 and restart.
still glitching in a few spots even after update

and still glitching on the opening screen

EDIT: in order to get to the menu screen i have to hit the menu button and then the B button as soon as the cinematic starts
otherwise it hangs on downloading data
or it goes into this round robin thing of restarting the game everytime it downloads the data

> I am deeply concerned that Dan Ayoub is involved in this project. After the failure of leadership and ownership of MCC I find it amazing that you put him front end center for another farmed out project. This is not meant as a person attack on Dan but all I can say is I have no trust in his ability to properly execute a project successfully and him given this leadership of HW2 is an indication that 343 nor Microsoft sees this as a high priority project that they want to succeed.
The marines are being flown in by pelican so it makes sense when training marines from main base
Made it through a macth. Had to use the second player remote. Not bad so far.

> i really hate that players leave when the match begins -_-
They aren’t leaving, their games have crashed.
Game still freezing for me. Other issue is when it says loading players I can’t move while my teammate is alone. I have to say it is better than yesterday so far! Don’t wanna jinx myself!

> Never seen even an open beta freeze up like this game. Pathetic…
Its more of an open alpha, being this far from release. Wait till the betas in October , November and December for your criticism. They did warn the players of glitches, hitches and bugs as soon as you start up the game.
Still can’t get past the main menu -_-
Why is there no badge for the Halo Wars 2 beta???

its an alpha…don’t believe the verbage
Hi i just came here to report some stuff of the game
Sometimes players do not get connected well to the game the last game i played i couldnt do anything but i could see the mini map that the others wher playing well.
The sound or voice of the units its to low also the voice of the commander you are using is to slow.
The rest is awesome keep doing the good job

> So I have been kicked from 2 games consecutively due entirely in part to crashing. I understand this is Beta, and this is what it is for. However, I think the ability to reconnect would be great, especially in team oriented scenarios. Instead, it destroys your base, basically assuming you quit and is punishing you. Taking an approach along the lines of of league of legends where you are forced to reconnect no matter what until the game ends would be nice.

> Until then, this is very frustrating.
The original Halo Wars had the same issue. I agree that it would be nice if like a low level AI took over your base and continued to play as you. That way it could give you a chance to join back and if you do not the enemy is then facing your teammate and a low level AI which also helps the remaining teammate, but doesn’t give your teammate any advantage. Rather just a little extra help while he tries to 1v2.
Just played a game with a friend where his screen was locked in the waiting for players blue highlight even though myself and both opponents were playing the game. He was locked out the entire match without being able to play or move. He was able to gain resources by default and also see the tickets run down for both teams. For automatically being a ranked game type this is a huge issue. Hope the beta helps to find more bugs like this one so they can be fixed before release.
PS: If it helps, we were playing at the same house on two consoles of course running off of same internet.
Played a game where I could not see any combat or hero powers. My units just kind of glided around the map in a “stiff” pose and were able to fight but no crossfire or animation for my own or enemy units.
Also noticed that the warthog cannot gather resources where as the brute chopper can do so. As well as the spartan hero does not show up on the mini map making it difficult to find him without spamming down on the D-Pad.
every time i start a game, i play for like 4 minutes then it freezes, i can still hear the sound but no picture
I have outlined a lot of crashing issues here: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/38bd6e2ebbb14e5b9b359bb029588800/topics/this-is-a-joke-right/a0c62911-22d8-408f-88c5-9e4286042e43/posts including the ability of Halo Wars 2 Beta to cause all Xbox One apps to stop working requiring a hard reboot of the console (push the power button for 10 seconds).
so far not hating it but not loving it…i need a different game mode. giving us domination restricts so much from the game.
I miss the old build up a strong army and try to destroy enemies base only find that they are already destroying yours, or meet in the middle and battle it out lose your army and have to build a new one. In domination if you just send a few marines around the whole map you can win the game in less than 5 minutes and requires no skill…
My tips:
Timer
I feel like there should be at least a 5 minute delay timer before you can begin to capture points in domination.
60 Pop.
Now im hoping this whole 60 population might just be a Domination thing cause i remember in HW1 Standard and Deathmatch had different population starts. So im just hoping the other game modes arent like this.
Warthogs
Before you used to make warthogs in the main base (i think) and it made sense cause they were just a scout vehicle. But now you have to get the garage and the garage requires Tech 2 so no more Warthog rushes, which kinda ruins some points of an RTS cause that is a Strategy. a cheap one but an effective one.
Power Resource
I like the whole idea of this being a resource now and all, but it just seems so much more frustrating sometimes. Its like you never have enough resources. You Run out of regular supply and have a ton of power or vice versa. I kinda like the old plain and simple Reactor level. I think you should get the same amount of both resources. Like not have a spartan cost 300 Supply and 30 power… its just weird.
I know i have more ideas than just that but this is what comes to mind that can actually be helpful. Let me know what you guys think. And this is all info coming from my Friends and I that are both ranked so we’ve played the beta enough already lol
-There is a glitch that makes you have no control whatsoever
I was trying to access one of my base and the match kept going
-There is another glitch where you magically “lose” out of nowhere
It happened to my ally here Gamer DVR - Xbox clips, Twitch clips and streams, Xbox screenshots, Xbox videos, Xbox DVR and more on Gamer DVR!
and it happened to me here Gamer DVR - Xbox clips, Twitch clips and streams, Xbox screenshots, Xbox videos, Xbox DVR and more on Gamer DVR!
As you can see we were winning and we just magically “lose” out of nowhere
Sometimes when a game starts, it doesn’t let me do anything and says ‘waiting for players’, but the starts anyway while you sit there stuck permanently.
