So what is actually going on with this game mode and is there an estimated fix?
Iv played this game since the beta and BTB actually worked well and ran smooth and then all of a sudden the full game releases and BTB has been having issues.
Before I could do solo, duo, quad fireteams and get in fine, and now the issues are happening I struggle getting in solo. I’m either stuck waiting for other players to load/connect ot I lose connection to the server.
So what’s going on and whens the fix? I like BTB and I have had challenges every week for it missing out on rewards. Also alot of my games are getting 100ms servers, why?
Going by their post: they don’t seem to know exactlly whats causing it (otherwise they would likely have resolved it). It’s also not really connected to the campaign launch - it was working fine during the launch. It started to act up around the time they brought in the additional playlists.
The best ETA they gave us in the post you were linked to. Expect a patch in January. That’s not really a great answer but unfortunately the best we have.
My personal guess (read: speculation) is that they deployed new software to the servers to allow for the additional playlists and that this update broke something with BTB. They stated before the change that adding more playlists would require more testing but then released them rather quickly.
Anyway: I hope they get to fixing it quickly, given that BTB is the mode I enjoy playing most.
Does anyone on these forums have any insight into when 343 will collectively start returning from holidays? Some gaming companies don’t really hit full stride again until the end of January
The last time I checked, 343 said that they were not sure why BTB is messing up atm. They also said not to expect any real fixes until after the holidays. I know that that kinda sucks to hear and all, but I’m not too worked up about it personally. I think 343 deserves a holiday break just like everybody else.
as soon as people started messing with the default keybinds it started dropping players left and right. something to do with spawns. or something. if you mess with video settings thats one thing but people are trying to camp hard and its just dropping servers. its whenever unbinds maintain sprint. -Yoink!- freezes. usually its invert flighting. which shouldnt be inverted by default.
Thank you. I actually was aware of this which was why I said “new” in quotations. I was making a jab about how one of the excuses for having so little after 6 years because the bulk of time was spent on developing said engine.
If they follow what they’ve done in the past, they’ll return to the office Monday. After they discuss with each other what they did on their vacations and have a ridiculous number of meetings, work will likely begin the following week. Data collected over the holidays will be analyzed and there will be another round of meetings. End of January sounds about right before they start to address anything in a meaningful way.
Yea, that was about what I was guessing but I couldn’t remember what they’ve done the last couple years.
Let’s cross our fingers (and arms, legs, eyes, and toes) that they can hotfix thre BTB server issues before the end of January. I’d be flabbergasted if it’s not the #1 priority studio wide when everyone returns.
It was some update that came out after thanksgiving that f’d it up somehow, but its definitely ruining the game for me since BTB is my favorite game mode
