New Xbox Player here: How do I start a mission. A single-player, with bots, private mission. I just want to play.

Original Post — Direct link

I’m on Xbox. I bought this game for like 40$ because I wanted to play it before trying VT:2, and for half an hour or so it was a glorious dive into the Warhammer Fantasy in the tutorial, everything I’d dreamed of seeing come to life from every W:F book I’ve read.

Now, I’m stuck in the inn, unable to start any missions or quickplay, I’m assuming because the servers are dead.

But I can’t even start a mission with bot teammates. I set it to private, or start a public Custom Match and hold Left Bumber to host, and it is stuck forever on “Waiting for other players/All players need to be ready” with no prompt to just start the damn match and fill in the slots with bots. And, as far as I can tell, no button makes me Ready, and there’s no help online or on YT tutorials.

After a minute or two, the “Hold LB to Host” changed to “Hold LB To Start Game”, and then a “Are you sure you want to start without a full group” msg, and once selecting “Yes”, I was loaded into the start of the mission with bots!

Praise be to the Emperor, and this janky unintuitive system can Sugmar Dick

Quick play will search for games with several easing rotation on the rules that in total is 30s IIRC. If you just do custom game and make it private you will get the choice to start directly
