Theatre Mode Won't Play Barrens.

I don’t know what it is about this particular map but my Theatre Mode doesn’t want to load it. Me and a friend created a Forge map for a machinima and I wanted to film on it. So I do what needed to be done, I head onto Theatre Mode to replay the Forge map but I just get stuck in a constant cycle of loading. Nothing happens and I have to shut down the game.

Has anybody else experienced this?

It might not be the map, however the theater mode itself! Theater mode in Halo 5 is so broken!

Yes I have been experiencing this as well and not only in theatre but in forge with the map loading but my spartan not being able to spawn and have the camera focused under the map.

That’s because you didn’t put a respawn point on the map.

I did place plenty but it doesn’t work with forge or the KOTH gametype since the map is invasion and only works with other gametypes such as infection.

They have to be team-designated. I’ve screwed this up myself a few times and was blessed with working on a map that had a working backup respawn point hard-coded.

Is it possible because I didn’t make the map I just downloaded it and modified it twice which let me say is a hassle to fix such as hidden promethean weapons vehicles, ramps/shortcuts.
Tomorrow I’ll link a video of what I see when I try to load the map which is Barrens.

If you start a game in Customs and when it goes to spawn you in and doesnt, it’s because of the lack of your team’s initial spawn point for your team, or a neutral initial spawn point for FFA-styled games. In Forge, it uses the respawn points to spawn you initially, so if you can’t spawn in Forge that is likely the issue. If you have placed them, it may be blocked by am object or being lodged inside geometry so you’ll never spawn.

One workaround I’ve kinda noticed works is while in Forge, disconnect your internet so it kicks you. Next time you Try to go in there will be a Recovery option that has sometimes reverted my map to a previous state and made a hard-coded spawn point work.

Here is the link to the video of what happens when I load up the map.

Hey you think you could download my modified version of the map and test to see if it loads for you.

Sure send it to me. I’ll get to it tomorrow after work. About the same time you posted this.

Sure thing here’s the link to the map link and I realized today that if I turn off vehicles it works that’s why the map loads in infection but O can’t turn them of in forge. Also I took your advice of turning off my internet but when I attempted recovery it didn’t change a thing.

I’ll look at it when I get home. It sounds like you possibly have vehicle spawning set to on but the vehicles don’t spawn in other gametypes? Might be a label you set weirdly. I’ll see what happens.
