    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar all i want for christmas is for you guys to FIX YOUR ******* GAME

  • ForestElephan GreyElephantTrunk (@ForestElephan) reported

    @PezRadar Hey, currently playing Xbox Series X on offline. Got all the keys to do Ubers and the second I enter a portal the game crashed and I lost all my sets. Disappointed in that but more worried for the next time if it continues. Also issue crashing with meph portal. @RodFergusson FYI

  • zjocko Zac Jockumsen (@zjocko) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Hopefully this will also fix the missing/not tracking stats. I could use a bump up!

  • cnate09 Nate Crane (@cnate09) reported

    @PezRadar Been playing Offline Single Player on Xbox Series since release, enjoying the addition of /players8 but since the patch I cannot access any of characters except my main character. Error is: Failed to Join Game. This is entirely in offline Single Player.

  • VolcomDork92 Kane (@VolcomDork92) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix gears ultimate and give it classic graphics option mode please. And remove skins.

  • PietersFrdric1 Pieters Frédéric (@PietersFrdric1) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears Good news but... could you please fix Gears 5's achievements (Seriously 5 part 2 for example) ? The trackers are broken, and many players have sent to you messages about it.

  • crushedguava Guava (@crushedguava) reported

    @PezRadar @ljuliob Same issue here. On Switch. Do not have Nintendo Switch online subscription. Can't access Offline Difficulty Scaling as the tab isn't available.

  • Avalar1 Avalar (@Avalar1) reported

    @TastierLake9147 @GearsofWar Where does the stuff in "New" and "Featured" go when it gets cycled out for something else? If it's not saved in the respective character/weapon skins, etc., tabs, then they screwed up and gotta fix it. Still wouldn't make sense to put it in a tab labeled OP9. There is no OP9.

  • itmeJP itmeJP (@itmeJP) reported

    @PezRadar Oh ****! Let me know what you think. Haven't pulled the trigger yet cuz of all the QA issues folks discussed

  • ET3rNi7Y_GreeN Lorenzo (@ET3rNi7Y_GreeN) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix the Arcachievement pls! I can't finish the multiplayer! Pls 🙏🏻

  • FBananapants FBananapants (@FBananapants) reported

    @PezRadar Are they pending because there was a glitch and they're working on it, or are those pending payment(like that other one would be pending too had you not already paid it?).

  • Skjoldr79 Doc (@Skjoldr79) reported

    @GearsofWar I want to gift to my squad member seriously 5.0 part II cause your game is broken and did not award him the achievement, is it possible? Uuuhhhh

  • OrbitalFrame7 Wootz43 (@OrbitalFrame7) reported

    @PezRadar This is actually a good article. My issue was always getting lean with a slight shred...But I became too skinny doing it and couldn't maintain muscle mass. I need to make adjustments.

  • ljuliob L. Julio B. (@ljuliob) reported

    @UpDownUpAtom @PezRadar I didn't mentioned that. I only said in order to have the GST-Game settings tab (with the P8 slider for offline purposes) I need to wait for Blizzard to fix this issue or sub to Ps+, create a online char, get the GST, unsub of Ps+ and enjoy the P8 experience as intended. Offline.

  • ShoulderWinter The Winter Shoulder (@ShoulderWinter) reported

    Hey @RodFergusson & @PezRadar! Is the Diablo 3 team still looking into fixing the issue of the Series X running the game at 1080p instead of the One X version that's 4K? Just been a bit frustrated that the issue has been going on for so long with no update. Please let us know!

  • ashishchawla3 ashishchawla (@ashishchawla3) reported

    @GearsofWar when will windows 11 be supported, having error code 10022 on easy cheat only on gears 5.

  • Yondergrunt12 YonderGrunt (@Yondergrunt12) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Will they fix Myhrra's neck?

  • Rennix_ Rennix (@Rennix_) reported

    @cnate09 @PezRadar I just tried making a guy with two hyphens like you have and FTJ as well. Seems like an issue with characters with multiple special characters.

  • Capnjazz2 Cap n jazz (@Capnjazz2) reported

    @AmyAlysonFans @GearsofWar Lol if you just play horde then you having nothing of value to talk about. Been playing since 06 solo grinded my way through wings , diamond and Masters. Pft bet you didn't even play gow2 lag switches

  • BakambuB Bakambu_Big (@BakambuB) reported

    @GearsofWar Any one else's featured section of the store not working?

  • Jack_Genna Vincenzo (@Jack_Genna) reported

    @GearsofWar @GearsofWar fix gears 5 achievements! Stop ignore the comunity

  • ResoluteTnt ReS TNT (@ResoluteTnt) reported

    @BurgerFreshh Honestly in my opinion Halo copied a lot of things from Gears 5. If @CoalitionGears would actually put effort in Gears and fix the things that need to be fixed like they did this game, Gears 5 would’ve lived . If they helped make Halo this good, Gears 6 multiplayer will succeed

  • Drekavacs 🌊🇺🇸Drekavac🇺🇸🌊 (@Drekavacs) reported

    @PezRadar Unrelated to BTS - why in GOD'S name did ya'll "fix" the merc bug that's been around for TWENTY years? The s.o.b. is impossible to keep alive, you could've at least lowered his revive cost.

  • James42155063 James (@James42155063) reported

    @GearsofWar This game is so broken the A.I the crashing, audio cutting out. This is my favourite Gears game and you turds can’t even be bothered to fix years old campaign issues.

  • ET3rNi7Y_GreeN Lorenzo (@ET3rNi7Y_GreeN) reported

  • TobiasSpecht3 Tobias Specht (@TobiasSpecht3) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Please fix the Achievementtracker for Kills,Damage and Assists this 3 stuck for me since 2-3 Months

  • WillBrode William Brode (@WillBrode) reported

    @PezRadar @zob879 @Diablo Any update on this? I want to play again but have no interest until the fix goes in.

  • Yondergrunt12 YonderGrunt (@Yondergrunt12) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix the achievement tracking in your game

  • Decadence_3 Decadence (@Decadence_3) reported

    @PaulLivo @cloakzy @GearsofWar I was just telling a friend that same thing. Apex lobbies form quicker than gears lobbies. 60 players get found faster than 8 and that is 24/7. Gears does need to go modern but not before sorting out its problems.
