  • GrimSZN Taylor (@GrimSZN) reported

    @CoalitionGears Minor issue but maybe there’s a solution? When using defaulternate while playing as pilot and using the silverback I’m not able to run in it?

  • StefanMarinello Stefan Marinello (@StefanMarinello) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar The issue is not resolved I’m getting sent back to the dash board then banned at least 3 times a week!!!!

  • Sunk_Punk Sunken (@Sunk_Punk) reported

    @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....

  • 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?

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

    @surrealstrafez @Decadence_3 @GearsofWar Honestly gears 5 improved on some things but i think it would be smarter to just start fresh for six by adopting the gears 4 movement and shot registration and only fixing the known issues that they improved on. Gears 5 has become more of a waiting game and holding shots.

  • Rodrigo00467718 El pepe (@Rodrigo00467718) reported

    @CoalitionGears fix your servers they are all disgusting

  • DannTheDino Daniel Evans (@DannTheDino) reported

    @CoalitionGears just had 2 games completely lag out the whole lobby.. lost 3400 GP to add to it.. I thought this was fixed yesterday..

  • 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

  • unknownphyzics mowgli (@unknownphyzics) reported

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

  • kevin82698453 kevin (@kevin82698453) reported

  • 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.

  • haloman93 Cody Padel (@haloman93) reported

    @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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • UlyssesGz Ulises González (@UlyssesGz) reported

    @CoalitionGears almost a month in since the hivebusters DLC and still cannot play it on windows using game pass ultimate. DLC is downloaded but nit showing as installed in-game. Is there a fix around ther corner???

  • youngkap7 youngkap🍀 (@youngkap7) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Yooooo why does gears keep taking back my points on ranked it’s broken

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • _Bamjr Bj. (@_Bamjr) reported

    @GearsofWar there's a glitch with Hivebusters, the character upgrades don't stay for the next chapter.

  • IViciouZL Copo (@IViciouZL) reported
