  • Pjleccese Peter Leccese (@Pjleccese) reported

    @PaulLivo I’m experiencing the same thing. Any ideas if they’ll fix the issue? @CoalitionGears

  • cdkee cdkee (@cdkee) reported

    @TALLkingboongah @hutchinson @PezRadar It's really not an issue if you charge at home or work. Charging anywhere else can actually be fast as well. I did a 400 mile trip recently, only had to charge for 25 mins total which I would've done anyway for food and bathroom breaks.

  • Chop84Ram RamChop84 (@Chop84Ram) reported

    @CoalitionGears Do you plan on fixing the packet loss lag issue thats plaguing Gears 5? Or have you just given up entirely on this game and its community?

  • HypeUpSeluh .SESH (@HypeUpSeluh) reported

  • ArtistJamesCEO Tᴏꜱʜɪʀᴏ тмĸ ➐ (@ArtistJamesCEO) reported

    @Danny_eXceeds @CoalitionGears @Community_Gears The servers is to laggy to play I get that latency symbol on the right corner lagging it kinda kills the vibe lol

  • sukhijandu2021 Guy Incognito (@sukhijandu2021) reported

    Take note @CoalitionGears. Tried to install Gears 5 legally through @XboxGamePass. Game won't let me start single player because of Easy Anti-Cheat nonsensical error. Tried 100+ fixes with no success. Downloaded a torrent & can noplay it easily.

    @PezRadar Yes.. I mostly tank on my DH but it's not that different in terms of complexity. Playing a DH is *ridiculously* fun but I do wish there were just a few more toys to play with. Hopefully, the new talent trees will provide a fix for that itch.. a new button or two to play with..

  • CaptainStains Chris R (@CaptainStains) reported

    @GearsofWar fix your servers. So much packet loss

  • Pjleccese Peter Leccese (@Pjleccese) reported

    @34Carl34 @CoalitionGears Please check your tweets. The servers are bad. Please FIX.

  • page_th0mas PT (@page_th0mas) reported

    @GearsofWar fix competitive servers immediately

  • iamchuckolate Chuck (@iamchuckolate) reported

    @GearsofWar are dedicated servers for Gears 5 dead? Even tho I have a good ping lag is really bad and I get stuck to walls

  • THEF0XR0CKS Jordan (@THEF0XR0CKS) reported

    @CoalitionGears @G4C I find it hilarious that people are coming here to ask them to fix stuff. The Gears of War 2 Photojournalist achievement is now unobtainable and they will not respond in any shape or form. Reflects really badly on The Coalition Studio and now Microsoft. 😡

  • NitroGamingof Nitro Gaming (@NitroGamingof) reported

    @CoalitionGears @G4C Please fix it

  • v1_Scruffy Gavin DeMarco (@v1_Scruffy) reported

    @Decadence_3 @GearsofWar Yah it is, I’ve had issues all week

  • TALLkingboongah Frank Lane (@TALLkingboongah) reported

    @PezRadar @hutchinson the goal is to replace well above 30% but there is major issues just at 30% being electric, most ppl will need to charge to get home

  • hdudveh1 hdudveh (@hdudveh1) reported

    @CoalitionGears please fix the servers. NA is unplayable

  • _Marvzy Marvzy (@_Marvzy) reported

    Fix ur servers rn @GearsofWar

  • TeddyBaird_ Teddy Baird (@TeddyBaird_) reported

    @acells_ @CoalitionGears Please coalition, you still have 1000s of players but you’re losing most of them because of this **** lag. I can steadily see the game dying at a rapid rate. Guess they don’t give a ****.

  • GoWMills ⚙Brandon⚙️ (@GoWMills) reported

    Hey, can you please fix the packet loss issues on #Gears5?? @CoalitionGears. The game is borderline unplayable…

  • 34Carl34 Carl Sorrentino (@34Carl34) reported

  • ajst3988 GsQ Stinky / UrSeatStinks (@ajst3988) reported

  • KennyBounce Lavitz (@KennyBounce) reported

    @DomezTV @SASxSH4DOWZ @CoalitionGears Central servers have been messed up for a long time. I hated playing south central when i came back from playing halo because there was always shot delays and lag even tho im on 20ms. Wasnt even close to the same game as east

  • SASxSH4DOWZ Shadowz (@SASxSH4DOWZ) reported

    @DomezTV @CoalitionGears Damn bro that sucks the Europe servers have pretty much been perfect, I've been playing every day no issues.
