Taking a quick look around, looks like Down Detector is reflecting some possible Steam issues. Would recommend keeping an eye on that and/or trying again in a bit.

Hmm, Halo Waypoint is still loading for me.

A few options I'd love you to try:

  • Clearing cookies/cache and trying again
  • Incognito browsing
  • Different browser

Let me know if any of that worked!

Hmm that doesn't sound ideal. Could y'all give Halo Support a heads up so they can track/get info on this?

Hey! Are you still running into this? And when you say "restarted the game" do you mean via the Xbox nexus > Hamburger button > Quit flow or did you just go to the dashboard and back?

Also, if you're still seeing the title in Quick Resume, be sure to remove it from there before relaunching.

If, after that, you are still running into a blocker, can you hit up Halo Support so they can gather more info than I can? It'd be massively helpful.

It's certainly possible.

To find your ring info on console, you can go to:

My games & apps > Xbox Insider Hub > Previews > Joined > Xbox Update Preview > Manage > Should tell you what ring you're in!

If I had to guess, I'm going to guess that you're in Xbox Update Preview Alpha Skip-Ahead.

Can you submit a ticket with Halo Support and let them know that you're experiencing this issue, that you're part of the Preview Program, and specifically identify what ring you're in?

Thank you for circling back!

Hey there, if you are still running into issues, even after quitting your game and starting over, can you flag this issue to Halo Support so they can investigate please?

Comment

Question, are you in the Xbox Preview Program by any chance? And if so, do you know what ring you're in?

Comment

Hey OP, could you shoot our Support team a ticket about this? It's super helpful for us to have all that info in one place.

Hey there. I don't promise to have answers but I just wanted to put some thoughts here to see if anything helps. Also, I'm assuming you are on PC with these thoughts.

  • Are you above minspec for all the requirements?
  • Have you tried reinstalling to a different drive?
  • Or just reinstalling in general?
  • Have you tried playing in Microsoft Store instead of Steam? (or vice versa if you're already on MSStore. It's F2P so you lose nothing by trying on the other PC offering store front!)
  • Can you try using a different Xbox account?

If you're on Xbox, some thoughts here:

  • Can you swap drives (if playing off of an external)?
  • Can you reinstall?
  • Can you t...

This seems to have worked, thank you. But now, of course, my Halo 3 custom games/maps are gone. Is there any way to restore them? I made backups of the files, but if I put them back, the game crashes again.

I am officially out of my depths as not a Support agent. You could submit a ticket with them and see if they have any thoughts or info I am not aware of! :)

Gotcha.

Can you try this workaround maybe? You want to remove all files from the following directories. They can be backed up elsewhere on your machine if desired:

C:\Users[username]\AppData\LocalLow\MCC\Temporary\UserContent\Halo3\Map

C:\Users[username]\AppData\LocalLow\MCC\Temporary\UserContent\Halo3\GameType

C:\Users[username]\AppData\LocalLow\MCC\LocalFiles*\Halo3\Map

C:\Users[username]\AppData\LocalLow\MCC\LocalFiles*\Halo3\GameType

Those are the temporary and saved locations for Halo 3 map and game variants respectively. I strongly encourage you to back up your saved (LocalFiles) variants so you don't lose your UGC.

If that doesn't work, do submit a ticket to our Halo Support team so they can track it.

Hey there, are you still running into this issue?

Hey Nova,

If you haven't yet, try verifying the integrity of your files to see if that helps. And if not, could you send your info along to Halo Support so they can take note of it and see if they have any other alternatives/suggestions?

Comment

Means you should report them to Halo Support so the Safety team can take a closer look at their accounts. 🧐

Hey there!

Can you try verifying the integrity of your files after restoring the unmodded variant and see if that works?

If not, be sure to send your info along to Halo Support so they can take note of it and see if they have any other alternatives.

Hey Maxx!

This has been on our radar and it's being looked into. If you have the time, it can't hurt to send a ticket to our Halo Support site so they can add your Gamertag to The List™.

So if one match I’m at season 4 level 96, I select that battlepass, do a match/complete a challenge and level it up to 97. Then next match I decide I want to get something back in season 2, I switch it to season 2 battlepass and my challenges will now start counting towards that one.

That’s how I understood it. You choose what you want to level up before going into a game

/u/Portmackerel, this is your answer right here!

I don't know what I expected when I clicked, but it wasn't that, and I snorted.
