Problem With Dedicated Server On Specific Map

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I’m having a specific problem with a forge map at the moment. I will outline the issue below:
Over the past few weeks I have been planning and creating a map on the base map of Parallax. I have nearly finished the map, and just need to fine tune the scripting and lighting. I decided to save the map and exit it to try it in custom games, only to receive the error of “there was a problem with the dedicated server, please try again”. I tried to load it in forge again, but kept receiving the same server error. After further investigation of the problem, I found I only receive the error with that map specifically. I have seen the error before in matchmaking, but it happens oddly with my map: it seems to start the server (phase 2), connect (phase 3) and just as it begins to load (phase 4), it goes back to phase 2 of the loading and the error appears. From this, I can see that there must be an error with my map specifically, so I was wondering if there is a way to recover the map or provide a fix to the problem (most likely on 343 Industries end). If not, would it be possible to retrieve a previous save of the map from their cloud storage? I don’t wish to have to start from scratch again.

The link to the map is here: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-5-guardians/xbox-one/map-variants?lastModifiedFilter=Everything&sortOrder=BookmarkCount&page=1&gamertag=DecayingIsotope#ugc_halo-5-guardians_xbox-one_mapvariant_DecayingIsotope_d3f68512-84d9-4178-80dc-a6eab0d1951d.
The map is called Escape The Station. If anyone else is able to load it up, please comment straight away so that I can get a copy of the map from you.

Many thanks,

Is this the same issue?

> Forgers, we’re looking into an issue where maps are getting corrupted & failing to load. We know about Infinut’s “Daemon Nuts”. Any others?@pardontomfrench

Hi Plastic Hassle,

I believe this is the same issue. I will let them know.
Thanks for the help.

I’m having the exact same issue on my “Funhouse” map where I’ve invested 40+ hours. Very dissapointed. I will be demoralized if it can’t be recovered.

I am also having the same problems with the Halo 5: Forge maps:

Raid on Apex 7 - WZFF version
BY LE ZENY
Prospect
BY LE ZENY
Temple
BY LE ZENY
Skirmish at Darkstar
BY LE ZENY
Battle of Noctus
BY LE ZENY
Wondering if people have problems with these maps having the same error?

The problem I was originally having back in January was solved in the last hot fix of the game, and affected the map no matter who was launching it. This was caused by a file corruption error.

The problem you describe is something completely different. If you are attempting to play those maps in forge, then you can’t: they are Warzone maps and are not meant for forge (or custom games for that matter). The “author” you describe above (whose gamertag you should blank out according to forum rules) has gotten those maps from an off-game source.

The reason they don’t work for some people is down to an error with the gametype (I can get them to work with infection and slayer, but not the Warzone gametypes the author managed to get).

So there is nothing wrong with the maps themselves (or the dedicated server for that matter), you’ll just have to experiment with the gametypes (mainly the Warzone ones) until it works. Though, I strongly advise against using them anyway, as we shouldn’t have access to those maps outside of Warzone matchmaking.

Closing this as OP’s original issue has been reported as solved.
