Halo Dev Tracker

while some games might force a full re-download, that's not something Halo has historically done so most instances of having to re-install the whole game are usually a function of the install being cancelled.

howdy!

i am guessing you cancelled the update/installation at some point which is what's causing the full re-download.

congrats to you both! 🥂

one of the most clever comments I've ever seen. well done.

and, like folks above have surmised, this typically happens when the system is trying to prevent the sharing/spreading of personal info (phone numbers, addresses, etc.). it's not perfect, but it is meant to be a safety measure that benefits all players.

kidding.

confirming the team's aware but as always, please be sure to hit up Halo Support so they can add to their bucket!

👀

way ahead of you!

hey elliott, if you haven't yet, please be sure to check out the pinned post and send Support a ticket about this so they officially get it on the issues tracker!

gotta reinstall fully, unfortunately.

but now you know not to do it next time!

being slightly pedantic here but it's not a bug. it's by design.

good thing Spartans only go MIA!

howdy!

if you cancelled your update at any point, the platform level necessitates a full re-install to prevent any bad installs or corruption.

nice catch!

i'd rely on the YouTube end card over this one :)

Thanks for the reports all. Confirming the team is taking a look!

Fuel Rod Canon, because that's the lore ;D

nice shooting!

Amazing!

Happy Birthday, u/Taldius175!!!🎂

Confirming we're aware of this one!

Just a note: you can also get a closer look at the Ultimate Reward every week via the in-game news. There are usually fun references in those articles - some may even say they are streets ahead - so they're always fun to read :)

looking good!

make sure you're typing it case sensitive

if that doesn't work, lmk
