Multiplayer Beta – Official Bug Report Thread

My start up is still buggy and I can’t even get past the thank you screen I’ve tried restarting and power cycling the console and if I try downloading it again it might take another 3 days any help??

my startup crashed 3 times

I had a couple matches where everything loaded fine and was working up until the start of the match. I was stuck at the main base screen like what you see when the match actually starts. BUT, there was a big blue bar across my screen saying “waiting for other players”. This did NOT disappear and the game was playing in the background and my teammate/enemies were taking Domination points and moving around.

Playing blue team, far left spawn as Covenant, freezes at “waiting for players…” sync at the beginning of a match. This happened to my teammate the game right before it happened to me. The game will sync up but “waiting for players…” doesn’t go away and cant move or do anything but watch your team lose the game.

> -recycle buildings animations are clunky, when you go to recycle, the time it takes to be able to build on the turret or building site feels inconsistent and uncomfortable, and occasionally that menu Overlay is just easier to close out and reopen before starting a building.

> -starting yesterday, I noticed my screen panning occasionally spazzing out. For instance, it would seemingly without reason slide(faster than if I’m holding lb to pan) up or down the map, causing me to overshoot objectives, troops, and often followed by a bit of lag.
>
> -sometimes the game crashes upon entering a game, and when it restarts, it says it’s disconnected from the Halo Wars 2 server. What’s curious here, is that my friend can remain in a lobby, it will not let me connect, and yet I will be talking to thay friend via xbox live chat, indicating that it’s not my wifi, not even necessarily server side, but perhaps an issue with how the server is communicating with the game per console.

> -voicing: playing as atriox, I’ve noticed if I destroy my own building(recycle) to build something new, the line spoken is “an enemy has destroyed our building!” No they didnt, that was me silly! I’m sure it’s a placeholder line, and there are a few more like it, but heads up!
>
> -voicing: playing as atriox, often at around the halfway marker of the game, we could be completely destroying the other team, 4 objectives to 1, and for some reason atriox will say something to the effect of “hurry up, the enemy is nearing victory!” Even in games where, for example, one disconnected and the other has been afk all game. No no silly atriox, that’s theirrrr score going down, not ours!

I’ve experienced a majority of these myself, the voice lines also happen as unsc as well.

Just started a new game; my team were loading into the game, and the game had already started while my ally’s and my screen still are saying “waiting for players” while the enemy already captured point “D”. WTF!!! We couldn’t move our screens, and our troops around, so had to back out of the game, and lose a rank position.

Game still freezes after pressing the menu button

Wednesday’s “update” didn’t fix anything for me :frowning:
by now I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game countless times over the past 4 days.
I have rebooted my Xbox, deleted profile and game data waited 4 minutes … you name it, I tried it. The only thing I have accomplished is wasting my time.
the game still freezes when “downloading the latest game configuration data…” comes up
the only “improvement” is that it now shows the correct red “B” logo instead of “@B_Button@” in the lower right corner
the code 343 published for this “beta” is the worst beta code I’ve seen anywhere so far.
whoever is in charge of QA at 343 should start looking for another job - maybe flipping burgers
a beta like this is to test the game and the game servers under heavy load. Issues like a game not even starting is something 343 should have figured out long before
i hope 343 will reward us with the same number of Halo 5 Req Packs for our efforts

Most Particles don’t appear. I call in a roaming barrage from a group of pelicans, I expect bullets to rain down on enemies, I see a firelight, I expect to see my characters fighting back and also getting hit. Most firefights I see no bullets

Just tried it. Played for not even 5 minutes. The game is absolutely terrible.

Controls are confusing as hell, to say the least. You can’t even move your troops around.

This game ain’t even worth $10

I love how it says “thanks for participating in the beta” but the -Yoinking!- thing doesn’t even work lol -Yoink- you 343

First couple times I started it it crashed the Xbox and said it needed to be reinstalled but now it’s OK to play

not really a bug but an infuriating issue non the less.

When i am capturing a point my infantry is concentrating on the capturing (i can tell which infantry it is because of the green circles) but when the enemy comes to defend this point, my infantry that is capturing, walks away to join the fight. Already i find that capturing a point takes forever. So after my infantry walks away this resets the timer…ggggrrrrrrr. i could tell my infantry to get back to capturing the point but i am more concerned about the battle at that point.

With that being said i still think this game is Awesome and can’t wait to try deathmatch and the final version!!

I have been trying to get into a match for 30 minutes and now this music triggers me so now I know where ptsd comes from

You could tell specific Marines to stay and carry on capturing the base.

That’s a problem. xD lol

A rather annoying thing that keeps happening is during the gameplay, the Halo Wars 2 logo is stuck in the middle of the screen and does not go away through the entire match.

Try to reset your game over and over or something

[DELETED BY ME]
Issue solved itself

Reset your game over and over

I know it’s just a beta and the game isn’t due for 8 months but I can’t even get past the screen saying “Halo Wars 2”
