Issues unresolved
Save game data corruption
- There is currently a persistent issue relating to the detection of multiple inputs that causes a double sign-in bug, as seen here. If this occurs, attempting to load up a save will currently result in the save data being irreparably corrupted. While there is no official word from 343 on this issue, it is currently recommended to manually back up your save files until it is resolved. This is also known to affect multiplayer matches, as seen here.
- This issue may be resolved by those who are actively using two devices to play Halo Infinite, such as an Xbox and the Windows Store version of the game or two PCs over Steam - if the corrupted save data is not synced over the cloud to the alternative device, an earlier version may be restored by replacing the cloud save data through active progression of the local copy and allowing a re-sync of this version.
- This is known to frequently occur if a controller is disconnected and reconnected during play, or if multiple accounts are signed in at once on an Xbox. If you get a "Lets go!" pop-up prompting you to log back in during play, do NOT accept it and exit the game immediately.
Issues fixed
Corrupt/stuttering audio
- There is a bug with the game's Inactive Mute option. As a side effect of disabling it, audio will stay enabled even when the game window is minimized or unfocused.
Disable Inactive Mute in the game's audio settings[citation needed]
