Gamers who play Halo Infinite are having trouble saving their progress in both the single-player campaign and the multiplayer game modes. The latest game in Microsoft’s long-running Halo sci-fi FPS series finally came out in full after a long and troubled development. It was praised by fans & critics alike as both a loving tribute to previous Halo games and a good starting point for newcomers. Earlier this month, Halo Infinite’s multiplayer broke Steam records. Players were eager to see how 343 Industries improved the Halo formula after the game’s early demos in 2020 caused a stir.
If you play Halo Infinite alone, you’ll enjoy the single-player campaign a lot. It tells the story of Master Chief and the Banished as he fights a new enemy on the Zeta Halo. Halo Infinite’s campaign has a lot of Easter Eggs for fans to find, and the Chief’s new Grappleshot and Repulsor weapons have already been used in Halo Infinite’s multiplayer. In a bad way, a new glitch is making Halo Infinite’s story less fun for people who start playing, and it’s also destroying hours of progress made on the battlefield.
As reported by VG247, Halo Infinite players are experiencing an unusual glitch in the game. At first, it looks like nothing is wrong, but it ends up corrupting almost all of their saved data. On the Resetera and Halo Waypoint forums, people have said that when they come back to life in third-person mode, they either fall through the floor or hover helplessly in the air, which causes an Xbox sign-in prompt to appear on the screen. The problem is that the player in question has already logged into Halo Infinite, which means that doing so again as prompted will cause a glitch that will mess up the player’s login data for both single-player and multiplayer. It means that the player will have to start over with a new save file. Halo Infinite on PC and Xbox Series X/S seem to have the same problem. YouTuber Duskin K. shows how it works.
People who are curious about Halo Infinite have been able to reproduce this glitch by plugging in a second controller, switching this controller’s connection from wired to Bluetooth, trying to log into the game on PC while playing on the Xbox Series X/S, and using Halo Infinite’s quick resume feature while playing another game with multiple users signed into the same account, which is how they did it. In Halo Infinite’s multiplayer, this can make players spawn through the floor in the middle of the game, which makes them easy for opponents to kill.
So far, Microsoft and 343 Industries haven’t done anything about this game-breaking Halo Infinite glitch, but it’s becoming more & more of a problem for Halo fans who are playing the new game. Hopefully, the problem can be fixed in an update patch soon so that Halo Infinite players can fight it out without having to worry about losing hours of progress in a split second.
