Another issue that held backHalo Infinitefrom smooth online gameplay has been resolved by 343I’s newest patch. This latest fix responds to a data bug that downloaded 300MB per a single multiplayer match.On July 21st, Twitter user Neeko found that a single multiplayer match ofHalo Infiniteate 300MB of data. After just a few matches, this could result in multiple downloaded gigabytes of data. This was later confirmed by other players, and even acknowledged by 343I itself the following day through an official Twitter post notifying players that it would look into the issue. This does beg the question of how long this issue had been going on for, and how long it would have continued if members of the community did not point out or notice it. This is not the first time that thecommunity has noticed problems pertaining toHalo Infinite.RELATED:New Halo Infinite Leak Provides Look at DMR Weapon and More Details About Forge ModeFortunately, 343I came out with another Twitter post advising the community of a fix that it described as a backend solution, but 343I is still working for a more permanent solution for the August update. 343I said that it will continue to monitor the issue, but this is good news for players who were itching to get back into the game who can now do so without losing frames and slowing down their connection, although it should be noted thatHalo Infinitemultiplayer issues still persist in other areas.
Even so, this is one fewer hurdle thatHalo Infiniteplayers must deal with in enjoying what is otherwise a largely enjoyable multiplayer experience. If players had booted upHalo Infiniteand were met with lag and gameplay issues without knowing why, then this news should come as a welcome surprise to those who would have spent more time with the game. The update does not require a download, so in theory players should be able to boot up a multiplayer game without running into these prior issues. Now that 343I is aware of the bug, players can expect that the studio will stay on top of it for further related road blocks, especially withHalo Infinite’s upcomingcampaign co-op.
343I has had a tough time since the release ofHalo Infinite. Although the early release of the free to play multiplayer softened the disappointment from fans, the game ultimately came out in an unfinished state by not including campaign co-op and forge mode. TheHalocommunity has since describedHalo Infiniteas missing content pertaining to its season passes, and employees of 343I have recently transitioned out withnew 343I developers coming in,
With all the issues since release, fans have understandably been losing patience withHalo Infinite. While multiplayer seems to be in the clear regarding the patch, fans have found newdifficulties in Halo Infinite’s campaign co-op beta tests. Hopefully 343I can take what it learned and implement those things into terrific new modes, and a completeHalo Infinitepackage upon the campaign co-op’s release.
Halo Infiniteis available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
