  Why does my game only crash in rank? @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar @Community_Gears

  @CoalitionGears you need to figure out a way for people to still collect their XP if their game ends up crashing. I've had this open beta crash twice on me back to back close to extraction, only for the game to end up crashing on me and losing all my progress.

  @icy @GearsofWar Also the way they move, looks more like a bug than a "hack". Something is certainly broken, and that means it's possible to do it on either platform I'm sure.

  @GhostEagleV @GearsofWar Using a cheap manufacturer & making it exclusive to us will do that lol just like the collectors editions they’re using whoever’s the cheapest then selling it a massive price tag for maximum profit problem is smaller manufacturers can’t develop a lot of stock for it

  @GearsofWar @Community_Gears @CoalitionGears You all really screwed the beta up with that update no clue what you all did but its not *skill issue*. Everything was working fine before that update. Now it’s Lancer heaven. I have no clue if you guys thought, “Yay, we balanced the weapons,” because no you absolutely did not. The servers were also acting worse. Good luck with launch. Hopefully things are better and the weapons are actually balanced, because otherwise this game is going to fall off just like Reloaded.

  @CoalitionGears Deciding not to have split-screen on PC is such a weird decision to me. Especially with the recent release of the steam machine and how implemented it already is. The subsystem is completely wired it seems they are gating it just to gate it. Please FIX this and implement split-screen on PC. #eday #edaygears #gearsovwar TCGameViewportClient : GameViewportClient (live instance at runtime) - TCGUIComponent_SplitScreen (UI scaling rules for splitscreen) - FLSplitScreenTetherComponent (co-op tether radii, SplitscreenTetheredPlayers array) - TCLocalPlayer : LocalPlayer - FairlightGameInstance exposes OnSplitScreenPlayerJoinFail delegate - Campaign/beat-specific hooks: bEnableSplitScreenAtEnd, bIsSplitScreenActive, splitscreen-only audio events

  @GearsofWar would love to play the beta but now every time I try to turn it on the game crashes my computer. All drivers up to date launching it on Steam and now have tried over 10 times and crash every time. Any tips?

  @GearsofWar if yall don’t fix the sync and the cheaters. Your game dies. No one wants a clunky *** gears where nothing works. It’s a beta yes, but if this is how the game plays? Good luck

  MY FINAL THOUGHTS OF GEARS OF WAR: EDAY They had SEVEN years to make this game and to be honest they need more time week 1 beta was the most fun I had then week 2 came and it’s the most dogshit thing I ever experienced. Open beta made me realize that the @Community_Gears don’t care about their player base they had couple of days to fix 12 second timer, and some bugs but decided to ultimately buff lancer ( which isn’t a big deal ) and did other things besides what most people complained about. This open beta is final product and they are not fixing ****. I definitely do not recommend this game spend your money on something better. Do better @CoalitionGears I’m so glad I got my refund.

  @Silverwve @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Yeah I’m not being capped or anything. I tried using my lossless scaling frame gen app off steam, but even then it’s rough. Lots of input lag and the game is so unstable bouncing between 35-65 that it’s still not helping. Frame gen may not be enough with how unstable it is :/

  @Gearsovwar @CoalitionGears I have a post on my profile with 200k views for this issue. It will most likely not be fixed. It’s a really awful barrel check issue

  I love Gears of War. Its been in my life for 20 years. EDay is heading in the right direction for the series for sure. OG gears fans need to understand that bringing in new players is going to require compromise so the game we love will stay alive. Feedback from the beta: Weapons - Lancer Proto: Remove the damage buff and increase accuracy a little. Reduce stopping power slightly. There's really no way to move around it unless you smoke Lancer Mk1: Make the accuracy worse Gnasher: Reduce gib range just a hair and smoothen damage drop off. Make the pellet pattern 100% consistent (if it isnt) Snub: Reduce damage slightly Incinerator: Fix odd issues trying to shoot from slide or cover tansition. Reduce Magazine size to 2 Gut Puncher: No spare ammo, its too strong Hammerburst: This weapon felt good Vulcan: I think its in a good spot Grenades in general: Adjust throw distance, its just a little too short. Tagging enemies should come back. I think thats a fair compromise to remove mines Longshot: This weapon is in a good spot Movement: Remove UpA speed boost. Movement should be consistent across the board Wallbouncing is in a good spot. Its fast if you do it right. Hyper bouncing is unrealistic (this is good) Sliding: Fix weird collision inconsistencies. If you slide into team mates or bodies you can literally disappear, died to this several times. Sprinting: I personally do not like how slow it is to turn the camera when sprinting, but I understand why it is this way. My only real problem with sprinting is the shooting delay from sprint. 15 years of muscle memory is gone since Im so used to shooting immediately out of a roadie run. Im not sure how to fix this or why its even in place, but worth discussing. Adjusting this may help the gnasher against rifles too. Mantle kick should come back, not sure about cover yank but mantle kick was fine. The Beta has been great so far. I've been waiting for years for another gears game and this one is poised to deliver a great experience. One thing TC, please do not cave to the gnasher only community and make the sole focus of the game gnasher wallbouncing. Everyone touts Gears 3 as being the best (myself included) and in 3 you could spawn in with a RETRO LANCER/SAWED OFF. All of the weapons worked and filled their roles perfectly. That should be the true end goal. The tunings in 3 rarely changed if at all. Please stick to this mentality. Nobody likes learning a new tuning every month, it's terrible. Make ONE tuning and stick to it across all game modes (no "competitive" tunings, they divided the already small player base). I cant wait to play the actual game in October. Its going to be a long wait. #gearsofwar #Eday @CoalitionGears

  @GearsofWar The game feels great and fin, but just fix the shot coming from the gun and not from the center of the screen 🥲

  I would make a video on literally everything needed to fix every gears of war. But everything goes in one ear and out the other with the community and the developers. Good luck @GearsofWar. I can tell you got paid before the game ever sold a copy.

  Gears of War: E-Day is great… it just needs a couple things fixed: • Fix the Gnasher • Buff the Gnasher • Nerf the Gnasher • Make the Gnasher one-shot again • Stop the one-shots • Bring back 8 shells • Keep the 6 shells but make active reload better • Wall bounce is dead, bring it back • Wall bounce is still too strong, kill it • Cover cancels feel locked and slow • Cover cancels are too free • Movement has too much momentum • Movement has no weight • Bring the roadie run back • The new upright sprint is mid • Hit detection is trash • Hit detection is better than Gears 5 • Aim assist is broken • Aim assist doesn’t exist in Versus • Audio is dog water • Directional audio needs a complete overhaul • Crashes every 3 matches • Matchmaking takes 10 years • Crossplay is broken • PC cheaters already everywhere • EAC is useless • Ban macros • Controller support on Steam is a joke • MnK feels floaty • Mouse sensitivity is wrong • Deadzones are broken • Visual popping everywhere • Cover is inconsistent • Out of bounds still happens • Blood is too clean • Not enough gibs • Not enough execution animations • Marcus looks too young • Marcus looks too old • Dom’s voice is off • Bring back classic Horde instead of Horde Siege • Horde Siege is actually fire though • Add custom lobbies • Add more maps already • Fix the Lancer • Buff the Lancer more • Nerf the Lancer • Projectile travel time feels weird • Ballistics are too realistic • Make it feel more like Gears 1 • Make it feel more like Gears 3 • Make it feel more like Gears 5 but fixed • Fix the camera when sliding • Sliding is too strong • Sliding is useless • Jumping is pointless • Why can I even jump • Film grain and chromatic aberration can’t be turned off • Performance mode still dips • Series S hitching • 150 FPS cap in beta was criminal • Shaders take forever • Skip intro logos already • More blood. Always more blood. Once these are all fixed I think we’re headed in the right direction. Thanks. @CoalitionGears @XBOX
