Quick Resume, which allows players to store a number of games in a suspended state, is one of the most unique Series X/S features. If a Quick Resume game that’s suspended is then loaded again, it will return players back to where they left off within seconds. Not all games support Quick Resume, but some of the games that do support it sometimes have issues with its implementation, especially those that connect to an online server. Halo Infinite Update – September 2022Subscribe to VGC on YouTube Players regularly claim that games like PUBG, FIFA and Halo Infinite struggle to reconnect when a game is Quick Resumed, and that it’s often quicker to manually force the game to close, wipe the suspended state and re-launch it entirely. This was mentioned on Twitter by user GabeTC99, who said: “I still don’t understand how [Quick Resume is] not a feature you can disable. “It’s amazing for a lot of games but when it tries to Quick Resume an online-only game it absolutely breaks it and you have to manually quit. If only an option to disable it for such games existed.” Spencer replied to the tweet, saying: “Good feature ask, makes sense. We will put it on the list of things to look at.” Notice: To display this embed please allow the use of Functional Cookies in Cookie Preferences. Late last year, 343 Industries warned players not to use the Quick Resume feature in Halo Infinite because it could result in lost cosmetic items. During the campaign, players will find armour lockers dotted around Zeta Halo containing cosmetics that can used in the game’s multiplayer mode. But if users were kicked from the game’s online servers – which happens when using Quick Resume – the cosmetics wouldn’t be available to them in their Halo Infinite multiplayer inventory. While this specific issue appears to have since been fixed, players still report issues reconnecting to Halo Infinite and other online games when loading with Quick Resume. 17 Comments Related VGC Content Phil Spencer could be teasing Xbox s game streaming device in a new office photo19 hours ago Microsoft generated $2 9bn from Xbox Game Pass last year regulatory docs suggest23 hours ago Brazilian regulator says Sony could compete without Call of Duty like Nintendo does5 days ago Brazilian regulator approves Microsoft’ s proposed Activision Blizzard deal5 days ago Popular Now on VGC1 Harley Quinn voice actor criticises Chris Pratt Mario casting ‘ It should be Charles’ 2 Phil Spencer could be teasing Xbox s game streaming device in a new office photo3 Modern Warfare 2 will seemingly require a phone number like Overwatch 24 Interview How PlatinumGames is betting on Nintendo expertise to shape its future5 Platinum thinks hiring of Nintendo veteran can take the companies relationship to the next level More Video Game News1 The Epic Games Store has confirmed its next free titlesRising Hell and Slain: Back From Hell will be free in early October1 week ago1 Comment1 US PlayStation shipments were reportedly up 400% last monthPS5 supply appears to be increasing as Christmas approaches1 hour ago1 Comment Overwatch 2 servers down for some as Blizzard removes two heroes temporarilyThe game's rocky launch has caused much fan frustration2 hours ago3 God of War’ s PC port studio says it’ s working with Sony on a flagship’ live service gameJetpack Interactive is also still working on the God of War franchise1 week ago3 CommentsBy commenting on this article you agree to adhere to VGC’s community guidelines.
