How to fix Halo Wars not working

Halo Wars is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Restart Halo Wars

   Quit the game from the dashboard, then open it again. On Xbox, press the Xbox button, highlight the game, press the Menu button, and choose Quit; on PC, close it from the taskbar or Steam.

2. Test Halo Wars connection

   Open Settings > General > Network settings > Test network connection. If the test fails, restart your router and run the test again.

3. Check Halo Wars updates

   Go to My games & apps, highlight the game, press the Menu button, and choose Manage game and add-ons. Open the Updates section and install anything listed there.

4. Power cycle for Halo Wars

   Hold the Xbox button on the console for 10 seconds to turn it off, then unplug the power cord. Wait 30 seconds, plug the cord back in, and turn the console on. Launch the game and see if the problem returns.

While Halo Wars is down: what to use instead

• Campaign mode Resume a saved campaign mission when matchmaking or online play is the part that fails, since the single-player path does not need a match.
• Skirmish against AI Set up a local skirmish on your installed copy if you want base building and army control without waiting on a match.
• Halo Wars 2 Play the sequel's campaign or skirmish modes on Xbox One or Windows when you want more Halo real-time strategy and the first game will not connect.
• Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition Open a different real-time strategy game when you just want base building and army control; it is a known fallback if you do not need Halo units.
