SYDNEY: “Halo: The Master Chief Collection” players are reportedly still experiencing multiplayer matchmaking issues despite the Xbox One exclusive’s recent 3.3.15 stability patch.
The news comes to Design & Trend via a recent post on the official “Halo” Reddit community page. In the thread, it’s suggested that several Xbox gamers that have installed the patch are still unable to enjoy successful matchmaking.
The conversation began yesterday when a user by the name of TriscuitCracker claimed that they were stuck at the multiplayer “searching” screen when trying to enter a game. After trying several of the troubleshooting steps that 343 Industries outlines on its support pages, the disappointed gamer gave up in their endeavour.
The interesting part about these matchmaking issues is that the thread was promptly followed by comments from six other gamers experiencing the same issue. As required by Xbox Live, every member of the conversation had the latest game patches installed.
At the beginning of March, 343 Industries released the 3.3.15 version patch for “Halo: The Master Chief Collection.” It was reported by many to alleviate the majority of multiplayer matchmaking issues. In addition, a few minor UI inconsistencies were squashed in the process. With over 100 days passed since the title’s initial Xbox One exclusive release, Microsoft community frustration and restlessness was certainly starting to mount prior to the update.
Upon release of the patch, 343 Industries said that they would also be conducting some server-side alterations to improve the multiplayer experience. It’s suspected that this is the reason for any recent or future outages, but nothing has been confirmed.
