Gears of War 5 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MaiviaJr The Council (@MaiviaJr) reported

    @GearsofWar You need to fix the matchmaking for this. Multiple games have had unbalanced teams. Often 5 v 2 and 4 v 2.

  • PapichuloJorge2 Jorge Andrade (@PapichuloJorge2) reported

    @CoalitionGears Can you fix the problem where the game freezes during horde and atleast if player rejoins because of game restart give them the reward when completed so that you dont have to restart the horde on the same difficulty just for the reward

  • JC_Najera89 Pepillo Pillo (@JC_Najera89) reported

    @CoalitionGears it is an error that you can kill from long distance a DBND enemy on execution 2.0 ? I love this new mode but it is more Warzone 2.0 in that case for me is not an issue cus I used to play only warzone on GOW 1,2,3

  • MardinoMel Mardino Mel (@MardinoMel) reported

    @CoalitionGears Cannot use my skins in offline mode wich i spent money on them. Will you guys fix that please?

  • TheMLTGR Adam (@TheMLTGR) reported

    @hoopstar245 @ayyeits_miller @GearsofWar My squad struggle to find games and a lot of the time we go on other games as you can’t even find a match sometimes. It’s a dead game. Halo or COD don’t have trouble with player base. Troll.

  • thefireXE 🔥XE.FIRE🔥 (@thefireXE) reported

    @CoalitionGears Can you please fix the bug where I can't move and stuck looking at the score board at the beginning of a new match. Gears is my favorite multiplayer past time and I litterally can only play it 1/4 of the times I try to play.

  • TheMLTGR Adam (@TheMLTGR) reported

    @hoopstar245 @ayyeits_miller @GearsofWar I never said I hated the game. I like Gears I’m just criticising the issues, oh god you’re so sad it’s unreal the way you stalk people’s accounts.

  • Maxwell97027631 Maxwell (@Maxwell97027631) reported

    @TC_Shauny @CoalitionGears Hey TC_Shauny! Can you tell TC to fix the lack of grunting when prescott rolls and a lack of screaming when he chainsaws and charges with the retro lancer! Thanks!

  • Zmarksthespot94 Mark Zakharov (@Zmarksthespot94) reported

    @ein457 @CoalitionGears Shouldn't be a problem, you login with MS acc.

  • DrunkJug CG (@DrunkJug) reported

    @GearsofWar Haven’t seen it because your game is broken on every level imaginable. The Coalition should be replaced ASAP.

  • HotFudge_Monday Todd Kobell (@HotFudge_Monday) reported

    @GearsofWar why is ranked matchmaking in gears 5 so ****? Literally cant play a single game without at least 1 smurf/someone who clearly is better than everyone else... fix your ******* game

  • DanEnforcer Dan The Enforcer (@DanEnforcer) reported

    @GearsofWar any particular reason why veteran class isn’t included on automatic active reload mutator? Every challenge with this mutation excludes veteran class, what gives? Fix this already

  • dgrlas AntonRX50 (@dgrlas) reported

    @CoalitionGears Can you fix the online player stats? They aren’t loading and keeps getting an error. Overall, please add win loss ratios.

  • Nhyuraa 𝓝𝓱𝔂 𝓧𝓞 (@Nhyuraa) reported

    @CoalitionGears @TC_Shauny I always get put into games that aren't EU servers And I've bought a few eSports items that haven't appeared in my customizations. so i am currently being scammed. Can you please go out your way to fix these ?

  • Epicp1ayar1 Epic Playar 1 (@Epicp1ayar1) reported

    @CoalitionGears my GOW5 keeps crashing and I have reported my problems and I haven't received any advice of help I've had this problem for the last few days

    @GearsofWar Hey TC! Can you fix the lack of grunting when prescott rolls and a lack of screaming when he chainsaws and charges with a retro lancer!

  • BapeKendz Chris Kendall (@BapeKendz) reported

    @ZestyC2real @CoalitionGears Just like gears 5 then? Flat out BROKEN

  • TheMLTGR Adam (@TheMLTGR) reported

    @hoopstar245 @ayyeits_miller @GearsofWar Because it’s Gears of War. They’re using someone else’s hard work, because if they made their own IP they would of been out of the picture by now. The game is good and I play it, but EPIC were way better. And TC’s ideas are lackluster in comparison, and the issues need fixing.

  • ayyeits_miller ; (@ayyeits_miller) reported

    @hoopstar245 @TheMLTGR @GearsofWar That doesn’t correlate at all to the argument. Plus he never said he still played it. This has been an issue since release date. Only reason I admit that I play it is because of the campaign that’s it. Multiplayer is dog water now. TC cut off the ***** of gears.

  • uglygod40 No ➐ (@uglygod40) reported

    @PapichuloJorge2 @CoalitionGears True, the ai is very brain dead. Sadly, I don’t see a fix for this anytime soon.

  • MayhemMockery Madness, Mayhem, Mischief & Mockery (@MayhemMockery) reported

    @CoalitionGears I have a jammed card. Can a dev fix a jammed card that will not update?

  • flabberquestion Flabberquestion (@flabberquestion) reported

    @CoalitionGears When are you gonna fix the Lancer not shooting issue?

  • dardman82 Alex Ramos (@dardman82) reported

    @CoalitionGears Please give us, all banner and blood spray of the progresion of re-up 50, (stay in re-up 50) and not have banner and blood spray of Kait Diaz, and more rewards of progression. Please fix that @TC_Shauny

  • ObscureNovice Mar-i-oOo 😋/🥲 (@ObscureNovice) reported

    @BeysBlades @RicherAdam @GearsofWar So why are there still server issues?

  • Nhyuraa 𝓝𝓱𝔂 𝓧𝓞 (@Nhyuraa) reported

    @CoalitionGears @TC_Shauny I have 10+ in-game bugs and issues i see not one other person have. Fire rate is slower Damage is lower Chunk range is further away movement is slower Reloading is bugged Can't use some of my skins Lower GP longer game queues ++

  • hoopstar245 Kyle Hooper (@hoopstar245) reported

    @ayyeits_miller @TheMLTGR @GearsofWar I know nostalgia blinds so many people. You were what? Probably 10 when you played Gears 3? I have the same feeling when people tell me Halo 2 had so many problems but nostalgia kept me from seeing that.

  • Ky2k21 Ky (@Ky2k21) reported

    @GrimSZN @sp34rstr1kr @GearsofWar Really?? I didnt even notice that thats some other problems then, just sad his old arrogant characteristics are gone

  • arozski DaRozski (@arozski) reported

    @TC_Shauny @CoalitionGears Either fix and nerf the shotgun so I don’t get 2 shot downed every time or make the strafe movement better/faster. This update has been so ****. No skill gap anymore

  • fabian_tx Ess YungTrip (@fabian_tx) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix ur **** and quit resetting our settings!
