  • Improved consistency with multikill rewards

  • Made an update to improve post-game carnage report accuracy for Halo: CE FFA games

  • Improved a variety of networking issues to allow for improved consistency between host and clients in peer to peer matches

  • Improved a variety of networking issues to allow for improved gameplay consistency

  • Made an update to service tag functionality, allowing for service tags to appear for all players

Will take over a week to fix simple matchmaking after game launch?



They're working around the clock to fix these multiplayer matchmaking issues, give them time.

Well, I still can't manage to get into a game at all, so I guess I'll just have to wait it out and do other things :tongue:.

EDIT: I power cycled my xbox and restarted the search and was matched with a few people, but no actual games to be had yet.

It just went live as of like this hour, I'm not sure power cycling will do anything because it was a hot fix. It's still pretty janky and a hit or miss with lobbies, but I did notice I was finding games faster for a little while.

Halo tweeted this too:
The update deployed to matchmaking was done on the server side and does not require an extra download to your Xbox One.

It seems to be working fine for me now. I wonder when those 30 completed achievements are going to pop for me though....

I gave up after getting a 2v5 game and going -11. I'll try again once they fix it.

343 announced they have several server side updates that should improve matchmaking that should be live this morning. I doubt this fixes everything as there are several more bugs that need fixing but it should definitely help finding games at least.
