343 warns Halo Infinite players not to Quick Resume the campaign

343 has warned Halo Infinite players against using the Xbox's Quick Resume feature for the campaign.

www.eurogamer.net

The campaign, which released yesterday, is set on a large slice of a Halo ring. Dotted around the ring are armour lockers that, once found, unlock cosmetics for use in the multiplayer.

However, if you are offline or disconnected from the Halo servers, these cosmetics will not show up in your multiplayer inventory.

Unfortunately, Quick Resume has a habit of failing to connect, leaving you playing offline. And so, Halo community director Brian Jarrard tweeted to warn players against using the feature.

"The team is aware and we will eventually have a retroactive fix (you will get the cosmetics you've earned)," Jarrard said.

"For now, I recommend not continuing a Quick Resume session and making sure you're online before venturing into Zeta Halo. Thank you!"

Is quick resume even tested? Is this a first party dev??

Quick Resume is the best new feature of the X|S but damn does it have these types of issues in TONS of games.

Basically any game that ever tries to connect to a server gets completely fucked when you resume. At least they're getting out early and addressing it but it's a wonder why the feature is even enabled in the first place for this. The multiplayer has a similar problem where you can't actually join matches if you resume.

MS's biggest dev: "don't use one of console's biggest features it's borked."

It's pretty crazy that the game can't re-connect to the servers again after using Quick Resume. Feels like a strange thing to manage to screw up..

*e - nm, may have read a post wrong.
Anyway it's a usecase the game devs should have tested, it's 100% on them.

Quick Resume sucks.
I play almost all online games - if a game is quick resumed - you HAVE to start it, exit, then restart for online to work.
There needs to be an option to disable it.

Yeah QR is really convenient but also very busted. For Halo Infinite MP, it means I constantly have to close the app first as otherwise you won't matchmake. It seems I have to do the same for SP.

You don't have to close it, if you enter the academy and start any kind of gun-training session the game will re-connect while loading in to the mode, then you can just quit and go to multiplayer. At least that's what I've been doing, not optimal but it's faster than closing the game and watching splash screens I think.

They said they're going to release a retroactive fix. Good on them, no biggie.

Is this fixed yet?

I've been quick resuming and it's worked fine. The multiplayer has been a bit finicky, but for the last week or so I can still quick resume and play online. It just takes a minute or so for it to connect.

yes

I guess you dont have the game and dont know? Curious why you surfaced the thread? This was fixed in a patch 5 days ago.

I hope they saved the money for refunds...

I've been force quitting the app after I'm done playing out of caution for the time being.

It's like 343 just took the Series S/X handbooks & tossed them to the side & just did whatever they wanted to do like we will cross that bridge when we get to it lol

You're aware of how to close an app on Xbox, right?

Yeah but sometimes I forget to quit the game properly and just turn off my console - and when my Xbox starts back up that game is stuck in Quick Resume mode.
Its a minor annoyance - but like I said - I only play multiplayer games so quick resume is useless. I want to turn it off.

The only thing that works is the store that sells £20 armor sets.
