Hi all. I’m going to list bugs I experience in this post. I’ll edit as I come across more. Some of the other bug report threads I’ve seen have become full of misc. conversation, which would normally be fine but in this case I think it makes it harder for the actual bug posts to be seen. You can post bugs in this thread, but please refrain from misc. conversation.
Updated on 1/10/15- I have open NAT (Xbox One is DMZ through router) and assume that is the case for anyone I’m searching with unless otherwise stated.
Matchmaking
Still getting uneven teams. Friend and I searched, got matched in a 3v3 in the pre-game lobby, and when the game started it was 4v2 and my friend and I were on opposite teams.
Finding matches has been ok. Search times still several minutes.
When searching for matches (usually 2 players), ‘host migration’ displays and I get separated from my partner. This happens constantly in every playlist.
Post game carnage report takes forever to ‘upload team stats.’ Anyone in a party with me seems to be removed and then added back in. I get an Xbox notification after every game that my partner has joined the game.
Recent patches have made game chat nonfunctional. Whenever I play with someone, I have to use Xbox party chat, and even then we can’t hear each other unless I close the Halo build and start the party chat from the dashboard.
Campaign
I haven’t verified if these are fixed yet, but I’ll leave them here.
H:CE - The Maw did not automatically load after Keyes. I was just taken back to the main menu.
H2A - I believe I’ve read another comment on this, but in one of the missions (pretty sure it was The Oracle) I had saved/quit at a checkpoint near the end of the level. When I resumed the next day, I had to start from the beginning as my progress hadn’t been saved.
H4 - After completing two levels (The Reclaimer and one other, sorry didn’t note it), the next level fails to load. The game just sat in black screen with music playing until I hard reset. In the case of The Reclaimer, it did not count that I had even completed the level.
Other Bugs
Game hasn’t frozen in some time, but there are constant delays when navigating through the menus. Even when I start the game up and ‘press start’ at the first menu there is a 5-10 s delay before I can move on.
Played a game yesterday (the 9th) and I don’t think the H2 nameplate associated with playing a H2A game on the 9th of any month ever unlocked.
Save, quit, and resume appears to be broken, at least in the Halo 4 LASO playlist. Did a save, quit, and resume at the LZ in Infinity and got a black screen, with audio only, and message in upper left corner “Unrestricted build. Cannot upload.” Backing out and coming back in landed me at this same spot. Had to “go home”, load another game, exit that game, then come back into MCC just to get back to the basic first screen. Went back into H4 LASO, did another save, quit, and resume at the same point, and the same thing happened.
Also, not getting achievement credit for completed missions in Halo 4. For example when I look up the Dawn achievement, it says “DONE! Unlocking” but is not unlocked.
Things I’ve noted in the CE campaign (haven’t played the others yet):
Some achievements don’t register (had to do Pillar of Autumn 3 times).- Missing the achievement for one of the CE terminals I found.- Several times had checkpoints not save (especially frustrating on Truth and Reconciliation, as every time it was after the initial battle on the ship).- Campaign medals no longer display.- Music occasionally cuts out- Weapon sounds occasionally disappear- Glitched hitboxes (this will be universal, as it’s associated with the graphical upgrade . . . the new textures are sometimes inside of existing hitboxes, so even though you can see the enemies, you can’t shoot them . . . caused at least 2 rocket suicides so far so now I just play with the original graphics)- Fallen through the ground twice on the Halo mission in CE- Several cases of blackscreens- Several controller disconnects requiring a hard reboot
Had the exact same issue with Halo 2 Anniversary - Save/Quit never saves at Checkpoint but just resumes at the beginning of the level you’re currently on. Pretty big bummer, definitely discourages playing levels in portions.
Does anyone of you know what is the official chanel to report bugs?
I found the following one:
I bought a german copy of the master chief collection and my Xbox One language is set to Spanish. Except for the mission “Prologue”, I haven’t been able to hear neither the cinematic’s dialogues or the in-game dialogues of the characters in the Halo 4 campaign and the music plays quietly. Only the enviromental and FX sounds (i.e. shoots and granades) are fine.
I went back home for christmas and gave this game a 3 week break, come back to it being in the exact same state:
Multiplayer:
Halo 3 sound positioning STILL NOT WORKING. Some maps will completely change the direction of sound so your gun will come out the rear speakers, and people behind you come out the front. Varies by map but easily noticeable on narrows when you go outside at the middle.
Halo 3 multiplayer games put the party voice chat icon on all players.
Games will end either within a few seconds or like 1-2 minutes, no indication of why, doesn’t show that everyone disconnected. The game just says ‘game over’ and will either be a tie of 0-0 or a win/loss.
Probably some more but this is all I noticed in the couple hours I’ve played since I’ve been back.
(Rare) Randomly reset. It’s possible to catch sometimes, if it looks like a “custom lobby” when the game is about to start.
Disconnect = Loss. I know this was to stop people from pulling their plug, but it’s annoying when the host leaves (kicking everyone out).
Quitting = Massive penalty to rank. I only did this once and went from a 13 to 6. That’s about an entire night of playing with the current searching times.
No skill based MM. I’m hoping this is temporary to decrease the searching time.
Quitting app = Game doesn’t count. Personally, I don’t want to see this fixed until the 2 previous bugs ^ are fixed.
(Rarish) Game ends early. I’ve had this happen in H2C the few times I played it, and only twice in the same day out of all my games (500+) on H2A.
Still possible to get stuck on “Joining Session.” Backing out, rejoining the party, and searching fixes this.
It’s possible to lose experience when you win. I’m sure this is more common than people think, as you’ll only notice when you lose a level.
Ranking seems … off? I’m a 50, so I’ll go through how long it took my friends and I to rank up.
1-10 = A few games each
11 - 30 = ~6 games each. I’ve ranked up twice in the symbols before some of my friends ranked up once on these ranks.
31 - 45 = 4 games every time. This is how it should be up to 40, if I was playing my own rank.
46 = Not exactly sure. I leveled down before leveling up even when I never loss.
47, 48 = ~7
49 = 9
50 = 8
Took me 52 straight wins to go from 45 to 50. Considering the levels I was playing, this seems about right.
