My screen freezes for 1-3 seconds every 2 minutes or so. The gameplay does not stop so I’m still running/shooting/aiming/… and the audio continues as well. The freezes do not appear in a special gametype but all over the game, starting in the 343 intro, in the campaign and in multiplayer (Only tried Warzone). I haven’t played for around 4 months but I wanted to come back to Halo 5 after the Meridian update went live. I can’t remember any freezes from before my pause so I don’t know exactly which update causes them.
I already tried multiple power cycles and one full new install, but the problem is still there. I’ve got the retail limited edition.
All my other games run just fine without any stuttering or screen freezes.
The problem is hurting my game experience a lot and I won’t touch the multiplayer until it is fixed. I don’t want to get frustrated because I died over and over because of microfreezes. If you need further information please do not hesitate to ask me. I really want to get back in there.
I just came here to make a topic about this, but seems you where faster than me :).
But yeah i have the same issue it is only specific to halo 5, have tried other games (will try halo mcc later) and i dont have the same issues.
Im not sure if i also have it at my home screen but i do have it every multiplayer match.
The most annoying thing about it is it happens randomly so when im in a fight and i just have to shoot one more shot for the kill it can freeze after which im usualy dead.
For me it started after the new update and before i never had it.
Before this issue i barely had any lag issues as a EU player. It pretty sure it is not an internet issues as i have a great fiberglass connection.
Like i said it started after the update every game i played since has this issue.
Here is a small video example (second clip shows it the best):
I’ve tried the Firefight beta today and still encountered freezes every minute. Needless to say it happened quite a lot in front of enemy guns…
It would be nice to know if 343 is even aware of the bug.

They are aware and are investigating it. Don’t know at what priority. But I asked Bravo on twitter and he said they are aware of the bug.
So hopefully it will be fixed in the next update.
Kinda annoying to think that before the update this bug didnt exist.
But as a Computer Science student i understand that bugs can slip in quite easily.
Yeah that is a issue within Halo 5 itself, not the Xbox or the internet. Most of the time for me it does it at convenient times, like when I am not in around any enemies. But there are a few times it can be a pain in the -Yoink-. For example on Escape From ARC map, our team was trying to take garage and I spawned with one of the new gravity hammers, not sure what its called exactly but it was a legendary one. I ran into the bottom part of the garage the first opening I got, next thing I knew the screen froze and within that 2 seconds of it freezing I was dead with 3 guys in front of me, triple kill oportunity, along with the brand new gravity hammer, wasted.

Yep, suspect it is a low priority bug, as not that many people have it.
Kinda annoying to be on of the few that have it, because i presume it isn’t getting fixed soon. At least have to wait another month or more.
For everyone still having this problem. I found a way to solve it.
I got the problem a few months ago right after an update so I thought that was the cause of the problem.
But probably around the same time there was a software update of my modem.
Because of this my NAT changed from open to strict again.
After figuring that out I reopened my NAT, and now i dont have any trouble anymore.
