Support NeoGAF

[Fahzgoolin]

You all keep saying bundle, but I don't see anything of the sort.

What do I need to type into the store? lol

 

[IHaveIce]

Why the fuck isn't this thing in the german store

 

[TyMiles2012]

The bundle worked for me!

 

[Blam]

Is it the Xbox profile name I have to share to play with others in custom games?

Yeah usually you don't even need that as you can search their name on the Xbox App. And just join from that.

 

[dLMN8R]

Can't get the bundle either. I click the Get The Game link, it launches the store and I get this message:

"The thing you're looking for isn't here"

Are you on the anniversary update?

 

[metareferential]

You need to get it through the bundle.

If I select the bundle it just doesn't show anything.

I hate the store and xbox app on pc.

 

[AlStrong]

Pretty sure it was set to 16x.

Yikes...

 

[killer rin]

Yep you need to get it from the bundle here:

https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblggh4v0fr

Thanks! Downloading now.

I wonder if we should make a new thread to inform people its out?

 

[Felix Lighter]

Are you on the anniversary update?

I am not. I suspected that was the issue after seeing everyone else having no issues.

 

[ieptbarakat]

Weird, the Halo app (not H5:F) opens and immediately closes for me. Not sure what to do, might as well ignore it for now.

Edit: I read that the Halo app needs to launch to run the game, oh dear.

 

[Glass]

Thanks! Downloading now.

I wonder if we should make a new thread to inform people its out?

Was under the impression someone had claimed the OT, and it for sure deserves one.

If someone wants to make an OT, I can make the graphics for it.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Yeah it doesn't exist in my store right now.

 

[Will the Thrill]

Yikes...

Ugh I hope it does actually work, AF was of the worst looking things in the Xbox Version (Or lack of)

 

[Pennybags]

There are still 37,5 GB to be downloaded, though.

Not if you sideloaded it with PowerShell last night!

Spoiler

In a failed attempt to try to play early.

 

[Theorry]

Hope 343 is the one that finally realize that the Halo thirst is real on PC.

I got the file, read that it wouldn't work, and deleted it.

Halo 5 Forge already has an OT Here... So I'm thinking more of an informal "Hey, its now out" thread

Edit: Here, I made a basic one http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=216293190#post216293190

 

[No Life King]

I got the same with the link posted earlier. Just search Halo on the store and you should see the Forge Bundle.

Downloading now, cant wait to play some customs.

Sweet! Thanks, dudes! I'm going to be on pretty much all day so I'll add my name to the GAF list for customs after I dl this anniversary update :/

 

[Clint Beastwood]

yea forgot about that.

i had it downloaded from when it was available the other day

 

[LQX]

Why is MS pussyfooting with the release of this thing? I cant find it at all. Ridiculous.

 

[Clint Beastwood]

I just typed Forge in the searchbar and it showed up

 

[blue_phazon]

I searched for "Halo" in the store and found it

 

[fantomena]

Does it use the same MP mechanism (level up, weapons etc.) as Halo 5 on Xbone? Are there microtransactions?

You should post the discord invite there too

 

[Landford]

Is it out on Windows 10? Doesnt show up for me.

 

[JB2448]

Have they fixed the anniversary update to the point where I should download it for this?

 

[MrFrankFontaine]

I saw it earlier when it said not available yet, but now I don't see it at all...

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Downloading now! So excited.

 

[LelouchZero]

Damn, the Windows 10 store is slow as hell for me.

I can download a 40GB game within a day from Steam, Origin or Uplay, but I've been downloading Halo 5 Forge over the period of two days, what is this? lol

 

[TheSeks]

you cant just push a button to magically turn a game from one platform to another.

Whatever you say, MajorNelson.

 

[Feint331]

game keeps crashing to desktop after splash screen.

already tried deleting the halo app as others have suggested to no avail.

no error messages, or any indication of what the problem is ... ><

Can you reply or PM me some details?

1) How fast is your internet connection?
2) How fast is the download going? (You can open Task Manager, sort by the network column, then look at transfer speed in megabits/sec)
3) What ISP?
4) What country?

Downloads from the Windows Store should be able to easily max out most internet connections. But I can send along details to the right people if they're not.

 

[belushy]

People still been playing this? I know its hard atm with no server browser buts it pretty nice when you do get a lobby going. Anyone wanna start trying to organize one?

 

[belushy]

Gamecheat13 released a new mod tool for Halo 5 Forge. It allows you to choose your armor and emblem, as well as set your FOV.

[JDB]

Shouldn't he be busy blackmailing Microsoft?

 

[orichalcos]

Server browser is arrived.

 

[belushy]

Tool is pretty useful. Turning off the fog on a few maps is super helpful lol

Um, what about 343 plans?

"They want to add an FOV slider into the game. As PC players, they want to give you a bigger FOV; it's not just going to be locked like it is on Xbox. Another thing they want to work on is not having the 60 FPS cap. Those are two priority things they want to do as soon as Halo 5 comes out. So don't complain too much at the beginning, because they are aware of changes they want to make for PC."
http://www.tweaktown.com/news/53847/fov-slider-unlocked-fps-coming-halo-5-forge/index.html

Is FPS still locked?

 

[belushy]

No word on when that would come officially yet, sadly. I would definitely rather use it all in game over using this tool, but I don't even know if we will see a new update for it.

 

[Dictator93]

I have been trying to play this as of late and the input lag is rather atrocious. Also it has rather unexplicable framedrops. Couple with no unlocked framerate and no ingame supported FOV means that it is IMO not a very good release for multiplayer on PC beyond the forge stuff as a result. A shame really, as a nice multiplayer halo package on PC would be wonderful.

 

[belushy]

Preaching to the choir mate

 

[Hazardous Metal]

I would legitimately be playing this every single day if the mouse aiming issues were fixed. That alone would be enough for me to pick it back up.

This is a clip of summit1G playing Halo 2 Vista, (one of the biggest streamers on Twitch) practically begging for a fixed version of the game on PC because he loves the game so much but refuses to play it until it's fixed. It's been over half a year and nothing has been done about it... what a waste.

343s biggest mistake was outsourcing it, because now we have to wait until both 343 and Sky box Labs have free time to discuss changes but I don't see it happening. I don't expect another update at this point.

Yeah, I would not expect any further news on this front till Halo 6 or until Scorpio releases, as they will inevitably have a scorpio H5 update of some sort, which will probably coincide (I presume, at least) with some push on the UWP side of things.
