Utvikler 343 Industries jobber på spreng med å fikse problemene med online-delen til Halo: The Master Chief Collection, og nå skal nok en patch på ca. 103 MB være klar for spillet. Med tanke på at de foregående to oppdateringene ikke rettet opp de største problemene holder fansen nå pusten for at dette skal bli patchen som endelig oppretter orden, i spillet som ble lansert for nesten en hel måned siden.
På Halo Waypoint heter det at pachen skal fikse følgende:
• Made a change to allow for matches to start once minimum player counts are met, allowing for faster matching times.
• Made an update to resolve issues that caused false matches to be created, which resulted in a variety of matchmaking issues, including slow matchmaking and bad session starts.
• Streamlined the process for maintaining party continuity through the matchmaking process.
• Made an update to the high-level matchmaking flow that will reset lobbies after each match. Moving forward, players and party leaders need to press "B" after the post-game-carnage report, and select a playlist for their next match. This flow is consistent with previous Halo titles.
• Improved user experience through removal of non-actionable error messages. This will allow for a more seamless matchmaking flow with less interruption and confusion.
• Improved the post-game experience to fix an issue that could result in a player getting sent to another player's lobby, rather than returning to the matchmaking screen.
Videre skriver de at det skal komme ytterligere én patch til neste uke, hvis hensikt er å bedre balanseringen i matchmakingen så lagene ikke blir så ujevne.
Bedre sent enn aldri, eller alt for sent?
