Wait how would I know if I'm in? The site or Xbox app?
IMO 60 fps is poor performance for rigs like ours in games like these. Not a huge deal though since its the first flight.
Mouse input is poor if you're used to games like CSGO/Valorant. Zooming the sniper scope is the best example in terms of mouse input being bad. There's no Nvidia Reflex, no exclusive fullscreen, so the input lag is extremely high. Obviously low fps contributes a lot to this number but even at 100fps it doesnt feel good.
For example I sit at approx ~8ms input lag in Valorant. Infinite is probably somewhere in the ballpark of ~50ms.
Is anyone else having difficulty getting into a match? I queue up and just get stuck on the black loading screen with the three dots, before getting dumped back to the main menu.
I cannot get to my messages on Halo Waypoint, but yeah it also showed up for me on the Insider Hub. Same pending thing going on though.
I went onto the Xbox insider hub app and it let me download the flight. There is no code, so you technically don't have to check Waypoint, but I did see that I got a message telling me I'm in on there 5 hours ago.
Then you should be good. I didn't receive any emails either, but when it let me download it through the insider hub app it worked.
My point is just to contrast with other people. A lot of people are getting bad performance, as in, they can't get 60fps. I'm getting good performance, as in, it is a good experience. I have an excellent rig though, so I should be getting top tier, or excellent performance. I'm not, but yeah. Good for my rig would be overall excellent performance. Good in general is bad for my rig. It totally depends on context here. All I was trying to get at was hmm, weird that some people are getting really bad performance with my same card, and I'm curious why.
As for full screen, uh, well this is a DX12 game. So...yeah it doesn't have exclusive full screen.
I'm not like a super high tier fps player, but man I really can't detect any latency. 50ms? You're insane dude. ANY person could detect 50ms. What the hell? Something is wrong with your specific PC, because uh, no I am not getting anything remotely that high. I can't even play something with 100ms because it makes me sick. So I would absolutely notice 50.
Ahh nice! I will check tomorrow! Got work in 8 hours lol thanks homie!
They took out Halo 5's faux ADS and I'm glad they did, Halo doesn't need it.
Disconcerting to hear the aiming feels like H5, that was easily the worst part of the game.
Hope I can find the time to try it out later today
If you aren't used to games like Valorant then you're not gonna notice the issues with Infinite.
if your console insider app says "pending," reboot your console. that's a known insider app issue as of late.
Same here. 5600x and 3080 and my performance is stellar. I'm not getting any of the issues some here are saying is there, and my framerate is also 70-90 on all ultra settings at 1440p. Maybe it's my gsync monitor? It's definitely smooth and responsive and not dipping anywhere at all during gameplay
The build is also months old, they've said this in their blog and/or their tech video. The optimizations they've been making are not in this build, and are not the focus of this test. This isn't a beta
I've hard rebooted 3 times and backed out every time the circle stops, doesn't matter, lol.
Interesting that we've just had offhand comments, including from friends of mine, about Xbox One performance. Really wonder what it's actually running at.

You said 50ms dude. ANYONE is going to notice 50.
I didn't say I've never played games like that. I play overwatch, where that absolutely matters. Recently upgraded my screen in part because of how it affected overwatch and destiny because even the smaller latency of my old screen bugged me. I play Destiny 2 on borderless for the convenience of switching to my side monitor, but any time I do competitive play I switch to full screen for the reduced latency and g-sync. I just don't end up dedicating a ton of time to it. I can still notice.
I'm playing with a friend right now who does play competitive shooters more than I do at a significantly higher level. I asked him if he's having any latency issues at all and he said he has no idea what I'm talking about. Feels perfect to him.
There's got to be something wrong with like, I don't know. Server tick rate? I really have no idea why you're having latency issues.
What's your RAM situation do you know? Speed and CAS latency (that's the 16-16-16-32 looking number, the first one, so 16, or in my case 14), if you don't know.
I am also running the game off a 970 EVO Plus NVME drive, Asus 165hz 1440P GSync Monitor and 1,400 MBPS Gigabite Xfinity internet connection.
If you're on Xbox, just download the insider app, and apparently your Steam code can be found else where too, just check Sketch's Twitter for the link. The Waypoint emails are irrelevant.
Interesting. So both of us have good sets. I've got better latency, but 16 at 3600 is still good. I'd be curious if people with slower than 3600 for example were having issues.
We both have Ryzen 5000 series too, which is another data point. Curious if people are having bad performance with those two things still.
Got to level 15 and exhausted all the challenges. Time for bed!
The armor looks pretty sweet in this game.

This'll get lost in my previous edit so I'll just put it here.
I streamed an hour and a half earlier today if someone wants to look at it and maybe pick out if you're seeing issues here as well that I'm just not noticing (granted it could be the stream itself but everything in my stream looked clean upload-wise, the stream is 1080p60). Granted the game does crash a few times but eh what can you do, it's an early build.

Close the application and restart. This is a common bug right now but you'll be let in eventually.
No longer pending after a reboot, but "Show in Store" gives me a pop-up saying:
"Search for app in the Store?
You need to install an app for this task.
Would you like to search for one in the Store?"
And "Yes" alternates between doing nothing at all and giving a "That didn't work" error.

Okay so I definitely wasn't getting degrading performance over time, but after a shit ton of alt tabbing back and forth I loaded into a game where I was only getting 39 fps, it never, ever would go above that until the final second of the match it hit 40fps. Very strange. But typically with performance degredation like it slowly sloops downwards, but nope, I've had consistently the same 65-85 fps this entire time until this last match.
I don't think that will work in this case, at least it didn't for me. It's an issue they are working on specific to this flight.
Performance is not great on PC and there's a bunch of UI decisions I'm SO CONFUSED ABOUT. For example, on the weapon drills you have to right click to make that your selection. You don't hover over stuff, you have to click (but right click, otherwise you go into the thing). Really weird.
Also, the menus don't look clean to me at all at 1080p. Or the UI in general, it almost seems like it has a small visual filter on it to make it look like the inside of a helmet (which looks cool but it's bugging my eyes).
Also had some audio bugs, sound became all crackly out of nowhere and had to restart the game. Also the whole audio prioritization system sometimes goes bananas and mutes audio that is definitely important.
All in all, I'm VERY excited. This will be great to give them feedback and iron out a lot of stuff. The base is there for a great game and I can see myself getting into competitive Halo.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

It's be hilarious if that was intentional and they gave Sprint the smartscope treatment. It's in, but you might as well not use it.
Did that many times, and many console restarts as well. Still stuck.
Same. Been 2 hours now. Oh well, hopefully it'll get sorted soon.
