    @CoalitionGears Seems like the "fix" with crashes and disconnects didn't get fixed... Still can't play versus, horde or escape... I connect to a match and when we are about to spawn in i get kicked. But i can join random people on campaign? I have even reinstalled the game....

  • BlaXicanKillsIT BlaXicanKillsIT (@BlaXicanKillsIT) reported

    @CoalitionGears there are still lobby and connection problems, we were wrestling and restarting for about 10 minutes straight before we could start a ranked match. Instead of being in a lobby we would automatically search for a game, but without searching for one

  • OG_RAAM OG_RAAM (@OG_RAAM) reported

    @BrickCityFPS @danasissons @CoalitionGears I just want to know how the matchmaking works. I've had multiple people tell me they've had the same issue as me, with FFA and KoTH. Once you hit a certain GP point range you just can't find matches anymore.

  • iScapeSomeTimes Twangz (@iScapeSomeTimes) reported

    @JC_Najera89 @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar I had endless issues playing it through the windows store. I bought it on steam and have had no issue with higher frame rates.

  • UthyrTheImpure 🌺UthyrTheSadGoon🌺 (@UthyrTheImpure) reported from Vero Beach, Florida

    @surrealstrafez @Decadence_3 @GearsofWar Im not single stick, i cant stand it. The up a is broken, sometimes you nail people a mile away and other times it throws your shot to the side of where you are facing. Its gotten better since launch but not by much. Gears 4 was great for the up a but it was slightly op.

  • unknownphyzics mowgli (@unknownphyzics) reported

    Please fix the audio on pc for gears 5 when I connect my controller :( @GearsofWar

  • Aridgene1 Aridgene (@Aridgene1) reported

    @CoalitionGears Me and my friend that just tried to join an escape lobby he didn't join but he was still in my squad but the random was just fine no offense but why are your games not working?

  • MajinnGene Jane (@MajinnGene) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix Horde. More enemies, (Lambent, Locust) continuity shouldn't matter when fighting against a Horde (HA) of enemies. OFFLINE ACCESSIBLITY PLEASE.

    @GearsofWar so got gears Tactics about 2 days ago, beat the tutorial and was giving a message that I unlocked 4 characters from tactics to be used in gears 5. But when I go to look I only have the Armored Gabe Diaz. How do I unlock the others or did I run into a glitch?

  • ControlSrkn Control Srkn (@ControlSrkn) reported

    @GearsofWar @danasissons please fix the ******* game. I should not be getting 99% this much. It rarely ever happened before now it’s happening at least every match.
