Repair the REQ SYSTEM !

Games Halo 5: Guardians

if you are unfamiliar with the REQ-system and on how it works, give this a read: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/6e35355aecdf4fd0acdaee3cc4156fd4/topics/req-system-and-microtransactions-explained/d57caf80-9288-4915-bdb5-dd7dd1abab0c/posts?page=1

The Halo 5 REQ sytem has now been live ever since the launch of the game & it has only experienced few cases of major issues (as far to my knowledge).
In my opinion 343i has done exceptional well on the development and maintenance of Halo 5 and all the new additions infused into the game. They also winged what the community’s worried would bring unbalance to the game, so called “microtransactions”.

HOWEVER :
I get the same error ever so often and I know I am not alone, the “REQ-System unavailable at the moment, try again later” error. Now it would not be so bad if you could actually do something else while “waiting” for it to come back online (If it would be that easy). But like a lot of games lately, if you don’t have a connection to the online sever you can’t do anything, not even save in forge. And it is this fact that bothers me so much.

WHAT IS AFFECTED :

  • The REQ-SYSTEM & PLAYERS COLLECITION OF REQ-CARDS + COSMETIC ITEMS - SAVING IN FORGE
  • __INGAME USAGE OF REQ’S IN WARZONE__Now I am not a professional on “Repairing” games, but I would very much like a “how to fix” forum post or a patch for this.
    I have previously tried to “fix” it by hard-resetting my Xbox, taking my internet offline and then reconnect, and just simply closing the game and restarting, and nothing works.
    And I have no knowledge of 343i even being aware of it’s users experiencing issues such as these.

Done exactly the same thing, I’ve restarted the game, hard reset the Xbox, nothing on our end. It’s 343, their servers and general incompetence to “fix one thing” break another 20.

Everything was working fine last night but when a few people left the fireteam after a game of Warzone, going straight back into Warzone with those of us left seemed to somehow break the system. Emblems wouldn’t load and instead displayed white, couldn’t back out and were “locked in” to the game about to load. I knew what would happen and it did. The REQ system in a game of WZ was completely frozen out for me all game saying “retrieving data”. No matter from a REQ station or at the respawn screen.

Absolute joke.

Restarting the game has been working for me.

The best way to fix it… 343 have to remove it in the next update. It’s definitely flawed and its ruining the Halo experience for alot of us. Get rid of reqs.

I just leave the game open for a couple minutes before doing anything. Check it every so often to see if it’s loaded yet. So far I haven’t had too many issues doing this. Occasionally run into when it doesn’t load after a game or a new game I don’t have access, but usually when first turning it on. If it won’t load after a match, go to xbox home screen and hit quit on H5 then go back into it and let it load.

Coming out of the game and closing it on the dashboard works for me 90% of the time.
