    @Bullet15_ @PyroMDyet @GearsofWar Sounds like its your net then. I play the game with about 5 or 6 others and no issues. Check your ports and NAT. Cause it ain't the game

    @Jay__Smith09 @GearsofWar This but all the esports skins they have released should always be available in the esports part of the store this games biggest problem is they add content only to remove it weeks later makes no sense as it benefits no one

    @Andrxw452 @CoalitionGears @danasissons I personally didn't care about it but understood the BP outrage issue. Thats one thing. I seriously think we need to be careful not to set a trend of locking away content from potential new players JUST bc they are new or weren't around at the right time. Being locked out sucks.

    @GearsofWar There are too many bugs with CARDS, PLEASE FIX

    @Bullet15_ @hoopstar245 @GearsofWar Well if it's an issue that you are having but not everyone else as it's been constantly played on twitch with no issues that it could be on your end the sheer fact you seem unable to accept that possibility then you clearly have issues to address

    Dana Sissons (@danasissons) reported

    @Axkingg_ @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears It’s a known visual error that the team is working on. Play a quickplay match and it should correct itself.

  • PyroMDyet
    Matt Hillier. Pyrø idiot/that/it (@PyroMDyet) reported

    @Bullet15_ @hoopstar245 @GearsofWar And no one in the 4 gears clubs I'm in have mentioned any such issue, have you uninstalled and re-downloaded it could be an issue with a conflict in the data or that your ping fluctuates causing a disconnected sync with other players...

    @JMotionZ A May Driver? Oh ffs I ain't doing Gears 4 - 2 Electric Boogaloo again. @CoalitionGears bloody fix the game

    @CoalitionGears Rank system Is not working right ! It should be two level higher not two rank higher,and why it only choose enemys by your team highest rank and not care other ranks your teams are ;) Score based matchmaking was much better.

    @GearsofWar I don’t know why but the gun voice for enforcer doesn’t play when I use the enforcer it’s just nothing and I’ve checked there is a gun voice for it but it won’t play for some reason please fix this

  • AndreRo29549801
    Andre Rodriguez (@AndreRo29549801) reported

    @GearsofWar I’m tired of getting kicked from Ranked games b/c of my WiFi. I try to join back but sometimes it won’t allow me b/c of the connection. And I’m sick of losing GP b/c of that, it’s not like I meant to leave on purpose. Any word that y’all can fix that?

  • LvxGoW
    HvNz Lex (@LvxGoW) reported

    @JMotionZ @TerryHB_ Holy **** 446.14?! That's half a year ago lol. My monitor wouldn't even work with that one and my GPU would lose out on a **** ton of fixes and new features. @CoalitionGears stop ignoring us and fix the PC version.

  • RuffusFenix

    Gears tactics crash all the time. whenever I'm choosing team members. My friend have the same problem and Lost save game. Crash in mission and crash in loading time. Xbox one X @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar @splashdamage

    @TerryHB_ @GearsofWar Thats the issue. It's far too spread out.

  • LvxGoW
    HvNz Lex (@LvxGoW) reported

    @TerryHB_ I hit Masters and I'm done bothering for the season. No matter how many times you tag @CoalitionGears there's never a response. I submitted a ticket again recently and got the standard "we've forwarded your issue" response. It's useless.

  • Hecklrr

    @CoalitionGears This is the fourth time today that my game has crashed in ranked ffa. I’m tired of having to play casually because you idiots can fix the game and it’s been out for over a year. It might be perfect the week before gears 6.

  • MajinnGene
    Jane (@MajinnGene) reported

    @Bullet15_ @GearsofWar Or make the game offline accessible. This is literally the reason why I want it. Servers can have issues.

  • Bullet15_
    Bullet (@Bullet15_) reported

    @GearsofWar Are you not going to address the sever issues? Ever since Operation 5 they’ve been worse. No point in having skins if we can’t play the game.

  • OwMyGod3
    OwMyGod (@OwMyGod3) reported

    @GearsofWar Pls adress the Server issues. The amount of disconnects is crazy

    @CoalitionGears It has been more than a year do you ever plan to fix where players can't vote for a map when I am play with friends?

  • NamelessKing98
    TheNamelessKing (@NamelessKing98) reported

    @Demon5379 @GearsofWar Or better yet they need to allow horde to be played offline because it cannot even escape won't work and campaign gives people issues to turn online especially for pc
