As of a few hours ago, the latest patch to the troubled Master Chief Collection has been released, and is now available for download. Measuring in at a very beefy 690mb, the patch is intended to address several of the more common in-game issues, as well as to rectify problems with the game's matchmaking and party systems.
The full list of changes is as follows:
MATCHMAKING
- Made a variety of updates to improve matchmaking performance and success rates
- Improved matchmaking search times/time to match
- Improved stability throughout the matchmaking process across all titles
PARTIES
- Improved party stability
HALO 2
- Made improvements to multiplayer shot registration
- Improved campaign stability across a variety of levels
- Addressed stability issues for matchmaking and custom games
- Fixed issues around resuming H2A Campaign from “remastered” mode
- Improved medal display consistency
HALO: CE
- Fixed issues regarding aim assist which resulted in the reticle being pushed away from an enemy
- Improved shot registration consistency between host / client in peer-to-peer custom game matches
- Resolved a variety of UI inconsistencies, including team color randomization, medals, and in-game scoreboard display
So far, anecdotal reports from players suggest that this might well be the update we've all been hoping for, with the matchmaking process operating significantly faster then previously and without issues such as imbalanced teams or inability to remain in parties. While there's undoubtedly still a long way to go before the Master Chief Collection delivers on its initial promise, this is a very encouraging step in the right direction, and hopefully a sign of better days to come.
