Having problems with halo 5. Just finished the mission “Reunion “. Going to the next mission “Swords of sanghelios “. Will not load!! Stuck on loading screen. Tried getting out and loading the mission. Gets stuck. I’ve reset my Xbox. Traded the game at the store. Just about everything! Please help
I keep getting sent back to matchmaking screen halfway through a war zone or arena game… It’s so frustrating, not sure what the problem is but I know it’s not my connection. Please help
I’m having the same problem, cent find any fixes
Halo 5 was working for about 1 day. It took 5 days to download it from the disk but now when I switch it on it is stuck at the start screen – for about 2 weeks now.
All halo stuff is working but I’m having trouble with putting the green warzone req bundle code I got for Christmas can anyone help?
Halo 5 WAS an amazing game. REQ system NEVER loads right, NEVER retrieves fats and NEVER shows post game results. Worked flawlessly for a couple months, then all of the sudden bam, nothing, broken and this is the only game I ever have these consistent issues with. Fix. It. Please!!!!!
I just can’t seem to be able to access the multiplayer in any way, it always tells me theres a server problem but my friends get one easily, anyone else fot this?
I bought a silver pack and only got 1 permanent card. There was supposed to be 2. And yes, there were plenty of common to rare items still locked. So what the the heck. This happens again I am not going to play anymore and i am going to start warning people.
So i got the Fotus Class aror and multiplayer emblem, i entered the code to download them and it started… But a week later i still cant find it and now when i try to use the code it says the code has been used. It doesn’t let me pick the armor from the spartan hub. What can i do to get it?
My achievements won’t pop up when i get them??? Anyone else getting this problem?
I have been having problems non stop with Halo 5.
Can’t confirm Xbox Live account. When clicking on Halo 5 on the main menu it goes to the Halo screen and freezes (screen where Osiris is staring at Blue)
Mulitplayer: Error scrren Can’t connect to Halo 5 Guardians Lobby, happens the first time every time. While playing I redo on screen what I’ve already done, i.e. throw a grenade multiple times, jump to a platform repeatedly, etc.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Halo mulitple times. Turned off/on Xbox. Quit and restarted, etc.
I have also had problems with other games, but not like this. Is the Xbox One this bad or is it Halo 5?
Are the preorder req pack bonuses only available to the first profile who plays Halo 5 on the Xbox, or can each profile get all the special extras that come with my preordered copy?
I think i’m being messed with again, my copy of halo 5 won’t connect to the internet to play multiplayer. I work hard for what little money I get and should be allowed full access to the game I payed for. I just beat the game on normal mode in the campaign thinking it would allow access to the multiplayer. Oh well I suck at halo multiplayer anyway. >.< Nasty people are nasty.
Beauty lol strait after I sent that it started working, took a while but now its running smooth again
Have the same prob too
Halo 5 Requisition Store keeps saying “Retrieving Data” and will not load no matter what I do. It was working for the last 4 days then suddenly not anymore. As a result the game is useless as I do not want to waste my time playing multiplayer to miss out on the rewards for my success. With all do respect.. fix this shit, if this is not solved within the next day or two Ill be returning my Game to EB as ” Brocken” and get my full refund
Well, I have the same problem, and it’s not going away
I unplugged my xbox one, then plugged it back in for a while. Now it works. Lol
I’ve had this issue for the past week now..Have done a ton of console restarts, shut downs, and unplugs. Still nothing has worked. It will sometimes come back just long enough to open one pack then i lose access again. Also can’t pull req’s out in warzone..So close to Rage-Quitting
so i bought the disc and installed the game but when i started the game it would crash my xbox BEFORE i could get to the title screen,i wouldnt get an error message, it would just reset my xbox completely. i tried hard resetting my xbox and that didnt work, i uninstalled Halo 5 and reinstalled it again, that didnt work either so i took the game back to gamestop and i bought the digital version. after the digital version was done installing i tried to play again and the same thing happens, the game doesnt get to the title screen and it crashes and resets my xbox, i do another hard reset and still nothing, i uninstall it again and reinstall it and yet again i cant even get to the title screen.
Ive looked all over the internet for help with this problem and i cant find anything. hard resetting and uninstalling then reinstalling does NOT work
If anyone knows how to fix this please share.
