Halo: The Master Chief Collection FIXED?!
As some of you might have noticed when you started The Master Chief Collection today, there's been an update (103MB).
Is it finally fixed now?!
Well the answer is both yes and no...
Yes in that matchmaking works properly now. No more exessive waiting times and working consecutive matches.
But no as in there are still a few kinks here and there. But luckely these will be fixed in the near future.
Here are the patch notes:
-
Made a change to allow for matches to start once minimum player counts are met, allowing for faster matching times.
-
Made an update to resolve issues that caused false matches to be created, which resulted in a variety of matchmaking issues, including slow matchmaking and bad session starts.
-
Streamlined the process for maintaining party continuity through the matchmaking process.
-
Made an update to the high-level matchmaking flow that will reset lobbies after each match. Moving forward, players and party leaders need to press "B" after the post-game-carnage report, and select a playlist for their next match. This flow is consistent with previous Halo titles.
-
Improved user experience through removal of non-actionable error messages. This will allow for a more seamless matchmaking flow with less interruption and confusion.
-
Improved the post-game experience to fix an issue that could result in a player getting sent to another player’s lobby, rather than returning to the matchmaking screen.
And my god what a difference this makes! I've done a test run on Halo today with 2 friends and we were just able to stick together in a lobby and keep on playing with no freezing or having to force quit the game.
The only thing that does need to be noted is that team balancing might still be a bit off here and there with a one player difference between games. 343i has insured us that this issue will be adressed in the update next week.
Have you experienced the improvement?
