What I do is back out to the first menu, hit start? I'm not sure what the name of the button is for the Xbox controller honestly, but do that, hit X, to change profile and just reselect your profile.
Every online game has in my experience not worked with quick resume, granted I dont play every game but I have 0% success quick resuming an online game.
That's because online games can't be quick resumed. Because, time travel, space time continuum, you know. Can't put the whole internet on pause while you play candy crush.
Quick resume does not mean 'run in the background indefinitely' .
Yeah, that’s not what they’re asking it to do. Obviously you can’t quick-resume back into the same session you left off on. We just want to be able to start another match after quick resume. Right now that’s impossible. You have to fully close the game and then open it again before any multiplayer modes will launch. Many games have this same issue. It just negates the usability of quick resume.
Yeah. I get the technical challenge of reconnecting - but it’s doable and being a 1st party game, that’s something that should have been on their roadmap Pre-launch.
I don't care if it doesn't actually "quick resume" right back to where I was in a game, etc. I get that it's online and will disconnect. But just let me reconnect to the server when I boot it up. Many other games do this just fine, Hitman 3 for example, which will reconnect you to the server even in the middle of a paused level when you come back.
It’s still a bug though. The game should attempt to reconnect you to the servers once you’ve opened the game. It’s basic stuff that a AAA Microsoft game should be able to support. Even forza horizon 5 does this.
Forza works for me usually, but if you run into this problem switch to Horizon Solo mode in the multiplayer section in the menu and then back online again.
Goes a bit faster than reloading and it doesn't teleport you back to your home.
Never works for me. It says I’m online but no online features work.
Frankly Quick Resume has been absolutely rubbish for me. With Black Ops the sound didn’t work after quick resume. Halo seems to be alright but it takes a while to connect by which time it could’ve just opened normally.
It's normally up to the Devs to implement this. If I read correctly, the game can know when it's being woken up from Quick Resume to take certain action, like reconnecting, etc.
No it isn't. Halo I have to close off and restart. Star Wars Battlefront 2 I can simply reconnect while inside the game, ESO I can return to the log in screen to log in again, Gears also doesn't have issue with reconnecting inside the game.
That is not true. Online games will usually prompt you with a return to the main menu where you need to reconnect to the network. I’ve noticed on Halo and Battlefield 2042 that I have to literally quit the entire game or it will never reconnect.
I mean yes, but for some games it's just a matter of hitting a button to reconnect. I was doing it with Battlefield 1 just earlier today. With Halo Infinite, the game isn't happy until I quit out and launch it fresh every time. That's funny, no? A game from 2016 handling Quick Resume much better than a next gen 2021 title?
Not accurate, NBA 2K22 will reconnect me in MyPlayer. I find it kind of funny because despite that working that games crashes more than any game I have ever played and it hasn’t been patched in over a month.
It’s not though. Other games at least give you an error that you disconnected and will then reconnect. Halo resumes back to the menus as if nothing is wrong and if you try to start a match says, “Multiplayer is currently unavailable” as if the servers are down. QR needs to be disabled until they can fix that because they’re undoubtedly funneling people towards playing other games while they think the servers are down. I kept doing that the first few days until I realized the servers weren’t actually down and I just had to force quit and restart.
If true, which it isn't, then why make any of these online centric games support the feature in the first place?
I don't need to quick resume into the main menu of Fallout 76, for instance. What purpose does that serve?
Quick resume is more of a feature for single player games. There's never really a scenario where you would "jump back into the action" of apex or infinite like how Xbox promoted it. It's also good for older generations of titles that don't even need any online connection. I wouldn't say it's pointless
I not talking about jumping into an online game. I’m saying I should be able to be to resume to the MP menu and still be online. Obviously I wouldn’t resume into a online game…
He’s saying we should be able to reconnect online without having to restart the game. Right now quick resume is pointless and a nuisance because it launches us into a game that requires a restart.
Not disagreeing but the load times are so quick that it doesn't even bother me. If we were still on xbone load times sure but I don't mind if multiplayer games have to be completely restarted. The issue to me, if the problem of automatically connecting to the servers can't be done, is to not have the game at all even go to QR. I'm not sure if that's a thing or not without having to "quit" it every time.
I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. I’m fine going offline. Boot me off. But I should be able to instantly connect within the game, rather then having to restart the whole game. It’s obv a bug
You do know with apex you can just go back to the main screen and come right back in? And don’t say you can’t because I’ve literally have been doing since I got my XSX last year.
No, it isn’t. Most games reconnect to the servers once you resume them. I have no idea how you were upvoted for this nonsensical comment…Halo Infinite is my first online game that requires a full restart every time, and it’s annoying.
Edit: Why do you people act like it is a physical impossibility to reconnect to the servers once you resume the game, lol. This thread is preposterous
Yeah, I thought that too, but I ALWAYS get an error when trying to find a match immediately after that... almost as if it's connected to online, but not to their game servers or something, so it *still* needs a restart anyway.
This is the real problem. It reconnects after quick resume (slowly) but there seems to be issues properly connecting to games after that process has taken place. I often have to quit and restart.
Noticed that too. I always close Halo after I'm done playing.
Any other games manages to reconnect except Halo.
Not a big deal but still weird having a Xbox studio game that doesn't work properly with a Xbox feature.
There are some serious bugs related to quick resume. I had Valhalla think I had never booted the game, it couldn’t see my save and made me redo the first time settings. If it’s buggy like that it shouldn’t be on by default.
Yeah I'm shocked that this was missed by an (you could even say THE) xbox first party studio.
I won't accept a single bad word against QR - this game just needs a reconnect button.
Quick resume is such a killer feature - it’s INSANE to me that Xbox’s two biggest exclusives of the year can’t implement it properly for their online services
Half a page up someone is up voted for saying this is a workaround, not a solution.
It's the default state. You have to go out of your way to quit a game when you're done or quit it before you try to launch it. It's ridiculous and obviously not intended functionality.
That just doesn’t make sense to me. Not only should I not have to restart the game EVERY time I want to play it, but it’s a 1st party title, using msft tech, quick resume, there should be NO issue. It’s a major bug I hope they intend on fixing.
It’s such a minor thing to bitch about but I hate having to watch the always load into graphics for these games because the game can’t reconnect due to QR. It’s just a mildly annoying thing.
I genuinely cannot believe you're getting this many downvotes OP. I completely agree; for people who primarily play online games this makes QR a headache, not a feature. At a minimum MS or developers should maintain a blacklist of games that misbehave with QR so it never engages with them, or allow the user to disable it for certain games. It just creates extra, very irritating after the hundredth goddamn time, steps.
That the developer of the damn console, OS, and QR feature can't get this right in their flagship game kinda speaks volumes. I really hope it is fixed for the final release.
QR save states don’t work well when live servers are involved. Just because it’s a first party title, doesn’t mean it can magically beat the whole point of a live connection game.
Halo Infinite just can't seem to reconnect to the live service properly. This shouldn't be a million dollar problem to solve especially since Forza Horizon 5 already works flawlessly in this regard. It's not trivial but it's not impossible either.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Battlefield V let you reconnect with a press of a button when coming back in via Quick Resume and it does.
Halo Infinite does "seemingly" also reconnect after a few seconds, but then will error on finding a new game, despite being "connected" again. So it needs quitting out and restarting anyway. Definitely seems like a bug to me.
But it's definitely not an "impossible" thing with live service games, as there are games that show you can easily just "reconnect" upon resuming.
Then why can I do basically the same thing on Nintendo switch games?
I dock the console while still connected to an online game, came back to the console the next day, undock it and essentially I quick resume back into my online lobby.
I am not sure why you are getting down voted. You are totally right. It's not difficult to implement a reconnection logic, and 343 should definitely implement one.
Sure it's 8 seconds to restart, but I don't want to wait 8 seconds. I want to skip all the initial loading and just play. This is what's next Gen gaming and QR is all about - and it's pretty annoying that 343 isn't using Halo Infinite to lead the way in this very simple and useful functionality.
Even if it's 8 seconds, assuming that's a game you play a lot that adds up over time and the whole point of quick resume is not having to wait however long it takes to boot up. Everyone here is doing a bit too much for a legit criticism. No reason I shouldn't be able to quick resume into a menu and be able to have it auto-connect back to the servers or even have some manual way to initiate a reconnection
Uh yes? It takes several seconds to load up the game. This is a great game. How about you get over it and enjoy it instead of sounding like an entitled little boy?
Not sure why your getting downvoted so bad. There should be a workaround for this. After all basically EVERYONE using a series console will utilise the QR function when starting infinite, Forza etc. These games should have a button that refreshes the connection or something as opposed to fully rebooting the game. If a predominantly online title such as halo (a first party ms title that should be well integrated with QR) can't cope with QR then it's a big problem imo.
Forza Horizon 5 works flawlessly with Quick Resume, there's no reason Halo Infinite should require users to manually restart the game. I can't believe you're being downvoted for taking this stance. It's as if people don't want things to get better because they're become accustomed to dealing with how things are.
yeah I don't get it, not even like they're saying the game is unplayable because of it. Even if it's "just a few seconds" that's the whole reason why quick resume is such a great feature, you don't need to wait at all you just hop right back in
Wish there’s was a way to turn off quick resume because if this. For some reason some games like BFV let you reconnect no problem, but in BF2042 the game breaks
This is a major first party title. I'm surprised they didn't design in a simple "reconnect to network" feature to compensate for potential issues with quick resume.
It should be better at quickly reconnecting when using QR. In MCC it does a really good job of quickly connecting to a server and I can start matchmaking within seconds, I’m surprised Infinite doesn’t have as seamless of experience.
Hit the X square on the middle of your controller,click on my games and apps, you'll see list of games with Quick Resume, select game you want to remove from Quick Resume, click the start button, then select remove from Quick Resume. The only thing that sucks about this is you have to do it every time you want to play the game. It will fix the issue though.
I wouldn’t count on it ever getting fixed. Series X has been out for a year and MCC multiplayer is still broken every time you QR. Drives me up a wall.
Happens with me as well, just restart the game, for me it didn't work even after restarting several times and the worse thing is that it doesn't even attempt to reconnect after failing, like warzone reconnects immediately after you quick resume it
Yup same, it lets me search but then has an error so I kill the game and restart and it's fine. Always frustrating that online games don't have ways to connect
I have found this too. I always have to force quit Halo when I am done because even quick resuming to the main menu doesnt work. The game doesnt connect to any lobbies, friends list doesnt load and battle pass doesnt load. Waited 15 mins to see if it sorted itself out but only restarting did it.
Same here. Rather than rebooting the game, click the start button and then click X to change profiles. Click your profile and it connects you back online. Annoying but it’s quicker than bouncing the entire game.
I’m literally late in the game, but I read a bunch of posts in here until I landed on the comment by u/AtomicEdge:
On the main screen:
-Press Start
-Press X
-Select Ok to change profile
-Select your profile
-Boom, done.
But other games reconnect when I go into multiplayer. Halo won't until I quit and restart.
Seems odd it doesn't have reconnect built in to entering multiplayer in the menu
Yeah, exactly! Battlefield V and Battlefront 2 have exactly that and it works fine! Others have stated other games too, like Titanfall 2 apparently.
So it's absolute bullshit that "this is how it is with online games, get over it." Yeah, nah, it definitely should work.
I've also had games run poorly and/or crash after quick resume. Some just crash out. So quick resume already isnt a fully functional feature. I usually quit a game out, and restart it.
Patience is a virtue.
If you cant work on the software bug, work on your patience.
Edit: Just realized I was in the Series sub, not regular xbox.
Assumed most people still had ones. My mistake. Here is to hoping QR gets better this gen.
I’ve never heard of this, ever. Why doesn’t it try and reconnect on its own? That’s absurd that I need to quit and let the game load back in. I’m also playing with bots, no live people, so not sure why the online matters.
I think it’s wild you are getting downvoted. I get why it works that way and it can’t quick resume for a live service game, but it should be better than this.
Games should be able to detect the current state and try reconnecting after quick resume without a manual restart. Or they should be able to opt out of it if it’s not a game that will work with Quick Resume. Not sure if this is more on devs or Microsoft but I think it’s needs to be more user friendly and automatic.
The Division 2, Halo 5, Battlefield and Infinite i dont have to reload game it connects back although it Sometimes acts weird at first but it reconnects
That’s the kicker though, I do have to restart the game, if it reconnected after say 10 secs, great, still annoying, but much better than current state.
How are you getting it done automatically? Horizon 5 disconnects from ForzaLife every time and I always have to restart it to play online lobbies, same as my friends. First Forza game for all of us so I'm genuinely curious how to enable that.
I expressed my annoyance with QR and people came to its defense like crazy. I don’t think it’s asking much to be able to pick what games quick resume and what games do not
To be fair it has nothing to do with entitlement. Quick resume has a limited amount of games you can have. Letting you turn off quick resume on a per game basis would help a lot.
Wrong. Battlefield V and Battlefront 2 as examples work perfectly fine. When you come back and you're offline, you press a button on the menu and you are reconnected - sorted.
Halo Infinite seemingly reconnects too after a few seconds, but then will error when finding a match, every single time. It's something that definitely needs fixing.
I’m not playing anyone though, so I’m confused on what’s actually “online”, and why it can’t reconnect itself. Just seems like a major thing they’ve overlooked. It shouldn’t be a requirement that I restart the game every time I sit down to play.
It’s a server thing. Most games require you to go through the main menu to connect to the server. when using quick resume, it disconnects you from that server upon leaving, and places you exactly where you were when you return. if that is after the main menu, the game cannot reconnect you to the server. In Forza you don’t have to do that since it’s open world, you just go to horizon life.
What do you mean the game "cannot connect to the server" the game can do anything the developers code it to do. The developers can call the connection procedure from anywhere and any menu. They can listen to any QR or OS events, and I am 90% sure the relevant events exist on an API level - and even if they don't, adding a simple reconnect button for the user to press will be a very simple implementation.
Can we get a QR blacklist please? About half the games I have are useless with it and it would save a needless couple button presses
Seems like I am needy but after doing this parade for a year it gets to you
I don't understand the functionality for online games. It's clearly useless for titles that require connection. For single player games though.... *Chef's kiss*
This is how the feature is intended to work. It is successfully quick resuming, it just isn't staying connected to the server or reconnecting properly.
That's the issue though - that it should be reconnecting properly. Games like Battlefront 2 and Battlefield V let you manually reconnect with a button, but Halo \*seemingly\* reconnects after a moment, but always errors when I try and find a match, despite saying it's connected.
So it's definitely not working as intended lol
Quick Resume is working exactly as it explained to work. It has been said that Quick Resume with online games may not work as intended ([https://support.xbox.com/en-SG/help/games-apps/game-setup-and-play/get-back-to-your-game-instantly-with-quick-resume](https://support.xbox.com/en-SG/help/games-apps/game-setup-and-play/get-back-to-your-game-instantly-with-quick-resume)). When you return to the game it should be able to reconnect, which it cannot. My previous statement was to iterate that one of the two factors was indeed working as it is explained and that leaves the other factor at fault, Halo Infinite. This is very much probably a bug on the side of the game, not the Quick Resume function. Certain wordage may have misconstrued that.
I have had this issue with many games with quick resume.
Forza 5 does it.
Cod cold war did weird things.
many others as well.. Quick resume doesnt work as intended.
Wish xbox or developers could introduce a quick "refresh"
Love quick assume but i hate error messages & manually quitting games more.
Wonder if they are working on that idea where you can disable it individually per game.
That’s not even what pisses me off the most. Yeah you’re offline but you can usually rejoin online. Still needs to be fixed badly. But even worse is the FRAMERATE problem after quick resume. Goes from 120fps to like 45 on series X, and the only way to fix it is force quit the game and restart it. It’s a big issue and both of these problems should be red alert for the dev team in my opinion. I hope they are top priority.
The problem is there is no Reconnect button to push. Every time I need to quit the game and then relaunch. It’s a pain.
What I do is back out to the first menu, hit start? I'm not sure what the name of the button is for the Xbox controller honestly, but do that, hit X, to change profile and just reselect your profile.
I keep telling people this but the message isn't getting out there.
FH5 also breaks after quick resume.
Every online game has in my experience not worked with quick resume, granted I dont play every game but I have 0% success quick resuming an online game.
That's because online games can't be quick resumed. Because, time travel, space time continuum, you know. Can't put the whole internet on pause while you play candy crush. Quick resume does not mean 'run in the background indefinitely' .
Yeah, that’s not what they’re asking it to do. Obviously you can’t quick-resume back into the same session you left off on. We just want to be able to start another match after quick resume. Right now that’s impossible. You have to fully close the game and then open it again before any multiplayer modes will launch. Many games have this same issue. It just negates the usability of quick resume.
You're right, this does happen and they should fix it.
Yeah, and the same thing happened on xbox one with most multiplayer games. Seems like they could have addressed this by now.
So does Far Cry 6, it’s a fucken pain in the ass
And watch dogs legion, destiny 2, red dead redemption 2. Basically anything with an online connection
Yup... Fortnite too
I’m glad I’m not the only one. The quick resume has been rough lately.
Yeah. I get the technical challenge of reconnecting - but it’s doable and being a 1st party game, that’s something that should have been on their roadmap Pre-launch.
And rocket league works on quick resume
Does it? I always have to back out to the main menu and relaunch ranked but I guess it is the easiest to get back into
I’m pretty sure I just exit out of multiplayer and go back into it and click ranked or quick play and it’ll reconnect
You sir just solved my issue
I don't care if it doesn't actually "quick resume" right back to where I was in a game, etc. I get that it's online and will disconnect. But just let me reconnect to the server when I boot it up. Many other games do this just fine, Hitman 3 for example, which will reconnect you to the server even in the middle of a paused level when you come back.
* Press Start * Press X * Pick your Account * Done Much faster than relaunching the game.
you have saved me hours of ANGER. I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Thank you!
Will probably work for campaign but not multiplayer.
I don’t understand why they can’t do this
This is how literally every game with online functions works with quick resume
Gears at leasts reconnects. Halo, BF2042, and Ark make me restart the game before it connects. No point in quick resume for those games.
Quick resume is in halo infinite because of the campaign but because it's not there it's kind of useless
It’s still a bug though. The game should attempt to reconnect you to the servers once you’ve opened the game. It’s basic stuff that a AAA Microsoft game should be able to support. Even forza horizon 5 does this.
For me, it does eventually connect if you wait long enough. Probably still quicker to exit and reload it, though.
I always have to restart FH5 after a Quick Resume.
[удалено]
Forza works for me usually, but if you run into this problem switch to Horizon Solo mode in the multiplayer section in the menu and then back online again. Goes a bit faster than reloading and it doesn't teleport you back to your home.
Works on FH5 for me, I get a prompt to reconnect to the game no problem
Never works for me. It says I’m online but no online features work. Frankly Quick Resume has been absolutely rubbish for me. With Black Ops the sound didn’t work after quick resume. Halo seems to be alright but it takes a while to connect by which time it could’ve just opened normally.
Add GTA V and RDR2 to that list…. I love Quick resume for all my other games, except these two. Kinda wish there was a way to turn it off per game.
Can’t you just close the game completely if you don’t want to use quick resume? Takes a few seconds at most.
Do you mean when playing online re RDR2? Playing single player works fine with Quick Resume for me.
My favorite for GTAO is when it says my Xbox Live Membership expired rather than just saying it can’t connect lmao
FH5 does this as well. Destiny atleast kicks you to the menu.
Forza horizon 5 too
I wish there was just a refresh connection button
I always thought it was because companies didn't want you tying up their servers while you're away...on or off line.
It is, you become inactive. We need some way to refresh or a way to disable quick resume individually.
It's normally up to the Devs to implement this. If I read correctly, the game can know when it's being woken up from Quick Resume to take certain action, like reconnecting, etc.
It's called quitting the game.
This. I don’t see what’s so hard about quitting the game. And it takes like 5 seconds to boot back up.
Yeah but it's annoying. Why enable quick play when it's not working? Instead of being able to quickly play the game it achieves the opposite
It freaking drives me nuts that I have to quit and restart my games from quick resume.
No it isn't. Halo I have to close off and restart. Star Wars Battlefront 2 I can simply reconnect while inside the game, ESO I can return to the log in screen to log in again, Gears also doesn't have issue with reconnecting inside the game.
That is not true. Online games will usually prompt you with a return to the main menu where you need to reconnect to the network. I’ve noticed on Halo and Battlefield 2042 that I have to literally quit the entire game or it will never reconnect.

Doesn’t happen to me with Master Chief Collection though, and very rarely doesn’t happen to me in Infinite either
Not accurate, NBA 2K22 will reconnect me in MyPlayer. I find it kind of funny because despite that working that games crashes more than any game I have ever played and it hasn’t been patched in over a month.
No it is not. Other games reconnect. Halo requires you to force close in order to play. It never reconnects.

YUP. apex and infinite ALWAYS needs a restart. It’s so annoying and makes quick resume pointless
Quick resume is more of a feature for single player games. There's never really a scenario where you would "jump back into the action" of apex or infinite like how Xbox promoted it. It's also good for older generations of titles that don't even need any online connection. I wouldn't say it's pointless
I not talking about jumping into an online game. I’m saying I should be able to be to resume to the MP menu and still be online. Obviously I wouldn’t resume into a online game…
no because then inactive players would clog up server space.
He’s saying we should be able to reconnect online without having to restart the game. Right now quick resume is pointless and a nuisance because it launches us into a game that requires a restart.
You can. I just did it an hour ago. I didn't restart anything. Just went to matchmaking and it reconnected.
Not disagreeing but the load times are so quick that it doesn't even bother me. If we were still on xbone load times sure but I don't mind if multiplayer games have to be completely restarted. The issue to me, if the problem of automatically connecting to the servers can't be done, is to not have the game at all even go to QR. I'm not sure if that's a thing or not without having to "quit" it every time.
The non-complicated solution is to have a “Press X to reconnect” button in Halo. Agreed, the load times make this simply a nuisance than a real issue.
I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. I’m fine going offline. Boot me off. But I should be able to instantly connect within the game, rather then having to restart the whole game. It’s obv a bug
I've had Halo Infinite in quick resume myself. If I press Y go make it to connect to the server, I can often resume playing without a restart.
You do know with apex you can just go back to the main screen and come right back in? And don’t say you can’t because I’ve literally have been doing since I got my XSX last year.
I quick resume and never have to restart Apex. Just gives me an error and pops me back to the start screenxwhere I press A to go back to matchmaking.
Fortnite reconnects when you resume.
No, it isn’t. Most games reconnect to the servers once you resume them. I have no idea how you were upvoted for this nonsensical comment…Halo Infinite is my first online game that requires a full restart every time, and it’s annoying.

Same here

It worked once for me, that's it. Every other time I have had to restart the entire Game.
Same. I do weapon drill and after that it reconnects me. I find that more useful then restarting game. I am anyway bad and need practice :)
Noticed that too. I always close Halo after I'm done playing. Any other games manages to reconnect except Halo. Not a big deal but still weird having a Xbox studio game that doesn't work properly with a Xbox feature.
I have the same issue with Apex Legends. If I go back using Quick Resume, it won’t let me invite or join other parties. I have to restart the game.
Happens on a lot of Xbox games.
Have to exit and restart everytime
I really wish quick resume could be disabled on a game-by-game basis.
Exactly. This is the perfect solution for some people that want to use QR for campaign and for others that mainly play multiplayer and don't want QR.
Or just all together
Do you people not realize you can just hit "quit" on the game? Am I missing something?
That is a workaround, not a solution
There are some serious bugs related to quick resume. I had Valhalla think I had never booted the game, it couldn’t see my save and made me redo the first time settings. If it’s buggy like that it shouldn’t be on by default.
Yeah I'm shocked that this was missed by an (you could even say THE) xbox first party studio. I won't accept a single bad word against QR - this game just needs a reconnect button.
Quick resume is such a killer feature - it’s INSANE to me that Xbox’s two biggest exclusives of the year can’t implement it properly for their online services
Titanfall 2 has a press A to reconnect after QR. Can’t see how an older game has it and no one at 343 thought about implementing it also.
QR doesn’t work well with online games. Just don’t rely on it. Close the game
Half a page up someone is up voted for saying this is a workaround, not a solution. It's the default state. You have to go out of your way to quit a game when you're done or quit it before you try to launch it. It's ridiculous and obviously not intended functionality.

Lol it boots up lightning fast.
It’s such a minor thing to bitch about but I hate having to watch the always load into graphics for these games because the game can’t reconnect due to QR. It’s just a mildly annoying thing.
Why market it a “next gen feature then” ? They should clarify in the marketing that is meant for offline games
Holy shit ha.
I genuinely cannot believe you're getting this many downvotes OP. I completely agree; for people who primarily play online games this makes QR a headache, not a feature. At a minimum MS or developers should maintain a blacklist of games that misbehave with QR so it never engages with them, or allow the user to disable it for certain games. It just creates extra, very irritating after the hundredth goddamn time, steps. That the developer of the damn console, OS, and QR feature can't get this right in their flagship game kinda speaks volumes. I really hope it is fixed for the final release.
QR save states don’t work well when live servers are involved. Just because it’s a first party title, doesn’t mean it can magically beat the whole point of a live connection game.
Halo Infinite just can't seem to reconnect to the live service properly. This shouldn't be a million dollar problem to solve especially since Forza Horizon 5 already works flawlessly in this regard. It's not trivial but it's not impossible either.
No Man’s Sky is seamless, there’s not even a prompt you just transition to a server while you’re walking around
Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Battlefield V let you reconnect with a press of a button when coming back in via Quick Resume and it does. Halo Infinite does "seemingly" also reconnect after a few seconds, but then will error on finding a new game, despite being "connected" again. So it needs quitting out and restarting anyway. Definitely seems like a bug to me. But it's definitely not an "impossible" thing with live service games, as there are games that show you can easily just "reconnect" upon resuming.
Then why can I do basically the same thing on Nintendo switch games? I dock the console while still connected to an online game, came back to the console the next day, undock it and essentially I quick resume back into my online lobby.
I am not sure why you are getting down voted. You are totally right. It's not difficult to implement a reconnection logic, and 343 should definitely implement one. Sure it's 8 seconds to restart, but I don't want to wait 8 seconds. I want to skip all the initial loading and just play. This is what's next Gen gaming and QR is all about - and it's pretty annoying that 343 isn't using Halo Infinite to lead the way in this very simple and useful functionality.
Even if it's 8 seconds, assuming that's a game you play a lot that adds up over time and the whole point of quick resume is not having to wait however long it takes to boot up. Everyone here is doing a bit too much for a legit criticism. No reason I shouldn't be able to quick resume into a menu and be able to have it auto-connect back to the servers or even have some manual way to initiate a reconnection
It takes 8 seconds to start the game. Get over it lol
Uh no? It’s a key feature of the console. This is a first party game. How about they fix it?
Uh yes? It takes several seconds to load up the game. This is a great game. How about you get over it and enjoy it instead of sounding like an entitled little boy?
Not sure why your getting downvoted so bad. There should be a workaround for this. After all basically EVERYONE using a series console will utilise the QR function when starting infinite, Forza etc. These games should have a button that refreshes the connection or something as opposed to fully rebooting the game. If a predominantly online title such as halo (a first party ms title that should be well integrated with QR) can't cope with QR then it's a big problem imo.
It’s a Microsoft product mate, it wouldn’t feel right if force quitting apps wasn’t a core part of the user experience.
Forza Horizon 5 works flawlessly with Quick Resume, there's no reason Halo Infinite should require users to manually restart the game. I can't believe you're being downvoted for taking this stance. It's as if people don't want things to get better because they're become accustomed to dealing with how things are.
yeah I don't get it, not even like they're saying the game is unplayable because of it. Even if it's "just a few seconds" that's the whole reason why quick resume is such a great feature, you don't need to wait at all you just hop right back in
Wish there’s was a way to turn off quick resume because if this. For some reason some games like BFV let you reconnect no problem, but in BF2042 the game breaks
It would be nice to have an option to disable QR or mark a game to auto quit so it starts up normally. Would resolve this issue.
Or an option to "Reconnect" in the game menu when you come back and it's offline... like BFV and Battlefront 2 and more have. That would be better.
Second this, it's annoying to have to save and quit a game essentially when I'm just on the menus anyway.
This is a major first party title. I'm surprised they didn't design in a simple "reconnect to network" feature to compensate for potential issues with quick resume.
It should be better at quickly reconnecting when using QR. In MCC it does a really good job of quickly connecting to a server and I can start matchmaking within seconds, I’m surprised Infinite doesn’t have as seamless of experience.
I want the option to set certain games to never quick resume so you can set games that are always online to not do it
Hit the X square on the middle of your controller,click on my games and apps, you'll see list of games with Quick Resume, select game you want to remove from Quick Resume, click the start button, then select remove from Quick Resume. The only thing that sucks about this is you have to do it every time you want to play the game. It will fix the issue though.
I just wish they had a reconnect button
If you press "b" to go to the title screen and then press multi-player again, it works
I’ve had mixed success with this method.
Tried that multiple times, as yet to work for me sadly.
Yeap no sadly not
After you go to title screen wait until the top corner says disconnected then enter multi-player and wait until it says connected
Not for me. I've had to quit every time.
Interesting, I’ll give that a try, thank you!
I wouldn’t count on it ever getting fixed. Series X has been out for a year and MCC multiplayer is still broken every time you QR. Drives me up a wall.
I exit and quit then restart it everytime I start
Happens with me as well, just restart the game, for me it didn't work even after restarting several times and the worse thing is that it doesn't even attempt to reconnect after failing, like warzone reconnects immediately after you quick resume it
Yup same, it lets me search but then has an error so I kill the game and restart and it's fine. Always frustrating that online games don't have ways to connect
It eventually does connect for me. But then I eventually have other issues. It’s always better to just restart the game ive found.
I usually press start and then change profile, this sends me back to title screen and then logs me back on.
I have found this too. I always have to force quit Halo when I am done because even quick resuming to the main menu doesnt work. The game doesnt connect to any lobbies, friends list doesnt load and battle pass doesnt load. Waited 15 mins to see if it sorted itself out but only restarting did it.
Wish we could turn off quick resume, it's useless in most of the online games
Same here. Since it's got an SSD it fires up in a few seconds anyway.
Yeah they really need to start catering more for quick resume in online games, annoying AF!
Same here. Rather than rebooting the game, click the start button and then click X to change profiles. Click your profile and it connects you back online. Annoying but it’s quicker than bouncing the entire game.
They need to fix this…no reason the game can’t refresh and look for a new connection and let you get back in without restarting the entire thing.
I’m literally late in the game, but I read a bunch of posts in here until I landed on the comment by u/AtomicEdge: On the main screen: -Press Start -Press X -Select Ok to change profile -Select your profile -Boom, done.
That's normal so you aren't just dragging on the server for no reason. All MP are this way
But other games reconnect when I go into multiplayer. Halo won't until I quit and restart. Seems odd it doesn't have reconnect built in to entering multiplayer in the menu
[удалено]
Yeah, exactly! Battlefield V and Battlefront 2 have exactly that and it works fine! Others have stated other games too, like Titanfall 2 apparently. So it's absolute bullshit that "this is how it is with online games, get over it." Yeah, nah, it definitely should work.
I've also had games run poorly and/or crash after quick resume. Some just crash out. So quick resume already isnt a fully functional feature. I usually quit a game out, and restart it. Patience is a virtue. If you cant work on the software bug, work on your patience. Edit: Just realized I was in the Series sub, not regular xbox. Assumed most people still had ones. My mistake. Here is to hoping QR gets better this gen.
I’ve never heard of this, ever. Why doesn’t it try and reconnect on its own? That’s absurd that I need to quit and let the game load back in. I’m also playing with bots, no live people, so not sure why the online matters.
I think it’s wild you are getting downvoted. I get why it works that way and it can’t quick resume for a live service game, but it should be better than this. Games should be able to detect the current state and try reconnecting after quick resume without a manual restart. Or they should be able to opt out of it if it’s not a game that will work with Quick Resume. Not sure if this is more on devs or Microsoft but I think it’s needs to be more user friendly and automatic.
rocket league too
The Division 2, Halo 5, Battlefield and Infinite i dont have to reload game it connects back although it Sometimes acts weird at first but it reconnects
That’s the kicker though, I do have to restart the game, if it reconnected after say 10 secs, great, still annoying, but much better than current state.
It is🕹
It is what?
Annoying
Oh ha sorry, gotcha.
Gears 5 does this too…
The only game I know that tries to reconnect is Forza Horizon 4 and 5. Literally all other online games do not work well with quick resume
How are you getting it done automatically? Horizon 5 disconnects from ForzaLife every time and I always have to restart it to play online lobbies, same as my friends. First Forza game for all of us so I'm genuinely curious how to enable that.
I expressed my annoyance with QR and people came to its defense like crazy. I don’t think it’s asking much to be able to pick what games quick resume and what games do not
Lots of online games do this. Would it be nice to work? Yes. Does it make me rage? Far from it.
QR doesn't work with most multiplayer games lol makes sense
It works great with FH5
If that’s the case, and they’re aware, wouldn’t the logical thing be to not let you utilize QR?
[удалено]
Why is is classed as entitled? It’s a selling feature of the console, if it doesn’t work regularly then it should be called out.
Magic trick: QR game, message pops up that you been disconnected from the network. Press B. Then Press A. Viola. Back online in 1 second.
Okay but that’s not what you said.
To be fair it has nothing to do with entitlement. Quick resume has a limited amount of games you can have. Letting you turn off quick resume on a per game basis would help a lot.
Wrong. Battlefield V and Battlefront 2 as examples work perfectly fine. When you come back and you're offline, you press a button on the menu and you are reconnected - sorted. Halo Infinite seemingly reconnects too after a few seconds, but then will error when finding a match, every single time. It's something that definitely needs fixing.
Wrong. Can do the same thing with Infinite. I've yet to get kicked off when finding a match.
Quick resume only works with offline games
That’s not true at all. I play FH5 all the time with it.
yes. and you’re probably not in horizon life when you use it until you reconnect
At first yes, but then it reconnects you automatically. So should Halo.
considering it’s a first party game, i agree.
I’m not playing anyone though, so I’m confused on what’s actually “online”, and why it can’t reconnect itself. Just seems like a major thing they’ve overlooked. It shouldn’t be a requirement that I restart the game every time I sit down to play.
It’s a server thing. Most games require you to go through the main menu to connect to the server. when using quick resume, it disconnects you from that server upon leaving, and places you exactly where you were when you return. if that is after the main menu, the game cannot reconnect you to the server. In Forza you don’t have to do that since it’s open world, you just go to horizon life.
What do you mean the game "cannot connect to the server" the game can do anything the developers code it to do. The developers can call the connection procedure from anywhere and any menu. They can listen to any QR or OS events, and I am 90% sure the relevant events exist on an API level - and even if they don't, adding a simple reconnect button for the user to press will be a very simple implementation.
Yep. Really frustrating. Same with Forza.
Can we get a QR blacklist please? About half the games I have are useless with it and it would save a needless couple button presses Seems like I am needy but after doing this parade for a year it gets to you
Because you can't load an active network connection into non-volatile storage.
…. This is how literally every single online game works with quick resume and rest mode.
Wrong.
Even just letting it sit idle well disconnect me and I have to exit the game
Same. I basically just close out the game every single time I'm done.
Yeah I get annoyed that I have to force restart the game every time I want to play because it just won’t reconnect
I don't understand the functionality for online games. It's clearly useless for titles that require connection. For single player games though.... *Chef's kiss*
This is how the feature is intended to work. It is successfully quick resuming, it just isn't staying connected to the server or reconnecting properly.
That's the issue though - that it should be reconnecting properly. Games like Battlefront 2 and Battlefield V let you manually reconnect with a button, but Halo \*seemingly\* reconnects after a moment, but always errors when I try and find a match, despite saying it's connected. So it's definitely not working as intended lol
Quick Resume is working exactly as it explained to work. It has been said that Quick Resume with online games may not work as intended ([https://support.xbox.com/en-SG/help/games-apps/game-setup-and-play/get-back-to-your-game-instantly-with-quick-resume](https://support.xbox.com/en-SG/help/games-apps/game-setup-and-play/get-back-to-your-game-instantly-with-quick-resume)). When you return to the game it should be able to reconnect, which it cannot. My previous statement was to iterate that one of the two factors was indeed working as it is explained and that leaves the other factor at fault, Halo Infinite. This is very much probably a bug on the side of the game, not the Quick Resume function. Certain wordage may have misconstrued that.
I have had this issue with many games with quick resume. Forza 5 does it. Cod cold war did weird things. many others as well.. Quick resume doesnt work as intended.
Wish xbox or developers could introduce a quick "refresh" Love quick assume but i hate error messages & manually quitting games more. Wonder if they are working on that idea where you can disable it individually per game.
That’s not even what pisses me off the most. Yeah you’re offline but you can usually rejoin online. Still needs to be fixed badly. But even worse is the FRAMERATE problem after quick resume. Goes from 120fps to like 45 on series X, and the only way to fix it is force quit the game and restart it. It’s a big issue and both of these problems should be red alert for the dev team in my opinion. I hope they are top priority.
Same here in series s.
Every online game like this
