  • LvxGoW Lex (@LvxGoW) reported

    @TerryHB_ @GearsofWar Their beta was 10/10 too. 500k concurrent players and zero issues. Even the 120k player queue I was in was gone in ~5 minutes.

  • samdmanMIA FireJ.D.Arteaga (@samdmanMIA) reported

    Still getting launch errors on gears of war reloaded @CoalitionGears great!

  • Red_Exalt DeWayne🐝 (@Red_Exalt) reported

    I truly am enjoying #GearsOfWarReloaded But let's be real here. These mechanics are heavily outdated. Hit registration is terrible. So much inconsistencies and "Gears of Lag" server issues. I'm an OG, not a UE demon. So I can't see the charm. @CoalitionGears move on from Gears 1.

  • C0DisTrash callofdutysucks (@C0DisTrash) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Is anyone having a problem on gears reload when u play either the campaign or multiplayer and u get a black screen but all you see is your weapons and not the game itself. If so how do one fix it. I did uninstall it and reinstall and it worked but it still happened again

  • Gyzarath Smiglet🖤❤ (@Gyzarath) reported

    @GearsofWar PLEASE FIX IT

  • IggyBanny Igor Bannikov (@IggyBanny) reported

    @XboxGamePass @GearsofWar Oh yeah, it’s so available today that I can’t even launch it because of your broken Xbox app. And your support, which consists of 3 users working for you for free, can’t help me and keeps me waiting for hours. I pay for your subscription and can’t even play what I’m paying for.

  • Pittski Alex (@Pittski) reported

    @GearsofWar I see we gave up on servers and went back to host advantage. few games today I was just rubbing banding from lag all over the place. Doesn't happen in any other game.

  • Phimb_ Seb (@Phimb_) reported

    fix gnashers pls @GearsofWar

  • jxshepherdx Jonah Shepherd (@jxshepherdx) reported

    Yo @GearsofWar fix this one shot down ****, it’s irritating😑

  • IMinimann IMinimann (@IMinimann) reported

    Fix the Shotgun or the game dies insanely fast! @GearsofWar

  • Unkindledson aaron rhodes (@Unkindledson) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar can you fix the problem where only the host of a party is getting trophies/ achievements, and kills counting towards them, nothing tracks for everyone else,

  • BrianDiVirgilio B (@BrianDiVirgilio) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears Gnasher the most inconsistent gun I’ve ever ******* used fix it

  • gaulters87 TheChojinn (@gaulters87) reported

    So @GearsofWar reloaded is utter pish? Just gears 1, no couch co op and loads of problems. £40?! I think I’ll buy Shinobi instead.

  • CABOOSE27xx Caboose27x (@CABOOSE27xx) reported

    Gears still not working on pc can’t find a match brings me back to the menu saying connection lost @GearsofWar

  • Aaron447626322 Aaron (@Aaron447626322) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Lad's in the name of god fix domestic and fix the last boss what the hell like ??

  • DebirumanTV 💥Devil Beam💥 (@DebirumanTV) reported

    When are you guys going to fix the PS5 connection issues? I'm sick of being disconnected mid game and losing XP because you're having server issues. Please patch your game @GearsofWar. It's so bad I can't even play the game I paid $60 for. Fix it, please.

  • MoneybadgerOPS MoneyBadger X (@MoneybadgerOPS) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears I usually have to find out thru methods of why something doesn't work and honestly most games aren't giving that problem. Fortnite, avatar frontiers pandora and mafia old country worked just fine with no hiccups. Sooooo what is it.

  • HoodedH1 Hooded (@HoodedH1) reported

    @kurtfhouse @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears It is, just need to fix the distance strength

  • DAcquisto1994 Matt D'Acquisto 🇮🇹 (@DAcquisto1994) reported

    @GearsofWar fix the ******* shotgun

  • SamuraiHN Samurai (@SamuraiHN) reported

    Is it just me or is the hit reg really bad in @GearsofWar reloaded? Like I have around 10 ping but it feels 100 and some people just straight up teleport around the map. Anyone else having this issue, I play on pc through Xbox game pass and on controller

  • Feariism_ Andrew Ballester (@Feariism_) reported

    @GearsofWar @Community_Gears @CoalitionGears please my connection is fine don’t have issues with any other games. This is every game I can’t finish not one game. Any update please?!

  • Trice_Eleven AOAC (@Trice_Eleven) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar can you please fix the Gnasher? There’s no reason for you to down a player and you have to shoot them twice (close range) just to kill them. But overall, I’m enjoying the game. #GearsOfWarReloaded

  • KuroNek0000 Kuro (@KuroNek0000) reported

    @CoalitionGears Bro why am I getting kicked from almost every multiplayer game I’m in. Fix that ish tf

  • sshoIeoftheyear Smesh. (@sshoIeoftheyear) reported

    - Stacked teams are a problem. - Matchmaking is terrible. - Why do the teams stay the same after a match? @GearsofWar

  • Kinsbane Kins (@Kinsbane) reported

    @GearsofWar There are serious audio issues with dialogue in Gears Reloaded. Please fix these.

  • Psychopathic_V2 Don’t worry about it (@Psychopathic_V2) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Is there any plans to fix achievements to actually track when in a party? They only track for the party leader or when playing solo.

  • HoodedH1 Hooded (@HoodedH1) reported

    @kurtfhouse @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears Gonna disagree cause I have yet to run into the UE issue of 50/50 point blank shot bs. Tighter shot grouping so have them in the box if they are full health or just stop pushing alone.

  • MoneybadgerOPS MoneyBadger X (@MoneybadgerOPS) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears This is not the first game to do that though. Games like copycat and abiotic factor have the same problem. You play them for a few minutes. Then completely crashes the system. Giving you that the Xbox is over heated.

  • Seclusionz_ Mr. Fly (@Seclusionz_) reported

    @GearsofWar fix this one shot down bullshit please. Why are their actives in competitive?
