Matchmaking is always a difficult issue to resolve on the user’s end due to the range of variables not in the player’s control such as the number of users playing the game, server glitch, etc. While a large number of players is good for matchmaking, it can sometimes overburden the server causing matchmaking-related bugs. Few players on Reddit have reported the Halo Infinite Stuck on ‘Other Players Loading’ while matchmaking bug. If you have encountered the issue, here is what you need to know.
Halo Infinite Stuck on ‘Other Players Loading’ Fix
At the early stages when the game launched a lot of players had this issue and it was because the game was not 100% downloaded. While the game launched fine, it could not matchmake. If you are console, this may be a very likely cause. If you are launching the game for the first time, ensure that the game is downloaded and it says 100 percent.
Also, when you try to matchmake, be patient as it can sometimes take as much as five minutes for the game to find a match. Wait for at least the said duration before deciding that the matchmaking is bugged. If the game is in fact bugged, back out and retry matchmaking.
At this point, the best solution for the Halo Infinite Stuck on ‘Other Players Loading’ is to wait for the game to launch, and if that fails, cancel and retry matchmaking.
If there is a problem with the internet or the server, it’s possible that the matchmaking will get stuck. We suggest that you reboot everything from the network hardware or the console or PC. If you are still stuck after trying multiple times, check if the servers are up or undergoing maintenance.
If the issue is persistent, give the game some time and the issue should be resolved. The game is still in beta and hence, problems such as these are expected. Bear with the game as it closes to launch and the devs should fix all these minor issues in patches the come out.
I love how the answer is “reset your game or xbox” but never, “that is an issue we need to address and fix since it KEEPS HAPPENING!”
