    @CoalitionGears This still seems to be a problem. I keep getting error code ESTANA every time I try to search for a match? How did others resolve this for themselves?

  • confusedgeek Felipe Garcia (@confusedgeek) reported

    @GamesRadar Maybe the tracking issue in 5 can be fixed by then. @GearsofWar

    @GearsofWar Y’all got any plans for a Christmas event? XP or CXP boost? What about fixing all the broken achievements that TU8.2 broke? Hundreds of people are locked out of Seriously 5.2 still.

  • TobiasSpecht3 Tobias Specht (@TobiasSpecht3) reported

    @GearsofWar I most be honest let this Game die u ruined it since Gears of War 4 u NEVER listen to ur Community u bring **** after Week after Week! Better fix the Achievements for this Game I got the Achievement for 100k Kills but I only have 67k Kills also fix the Multiplayer!!!

  • GRANTC0RE Grant Core (@GRANTC0RE) reported

    @GearsofWar Can you fix it so I can play frags only against bots in custom vs. The bots literally just stand there

  • Bullet19_ Bullet (@Bullet19_) reported

    @GearsofWar Does gears 5 shut down your series x for anyone else? I tested halo and it didn’t happen to me on there, gears 5 it will crash, flash a green screen then shut down. Or it will shut down and show a black screen. Already sent it back but was curious.

  • SpiderSOAD SpiderSOAD (@SpiderSOAD) reported

    @GearsofWar will they fix the neck of the Myhrra BS?

  • YundtDerek Derek Yundt (@YundtDerek) reported

    @PezRadar Please stop allotting your precious time on items like Force move and Quick cast instead of core issues that are dragging this epic game down in the dumps. Focus instead, please, on the lobby and game list issues, a trade platform, guilds, and general server stability.

  • VitorRi66313603 Vitor Ricardo (@VitorRi66313603) reported

    @CoalitionGears I am referring more to the MP which is more full of errors and bugs. You guys are breaking such a perfect game... I want more is the team that developed the Gears 4 MP. Well, you guys are rubbish!

  • AaronGl93748766 Aaron Glenn (@AaronGl93748766) reported

    @PezRadar @d2resurrected Please add Scaling/players command to Battlenet for console players UNTIL we get Lobbies and chat!!! Cause finding a 8 player game is damn near impossible on pa4/ps5!!! This would solve A lot of problems… especially the whole to many games being created would probably help que!.

  • SamTrueman93 Sam Trueman (@SamTrueman93) reported

    @trom_bonafide @GearsofWar Most likely will never be fixed. They simply don’t see it as a high priority. There’s at least 4 broken achievements.

  • Cescga Cesar Escamilla (@Cescga) reported

    @GearsofWar The coop-Campaign sinc keeps failing. Fix it now

  • Non_Photo_Blu Nathan (@Non_Photo_Blu) reported

    @Bullet19_ @GearsofWar Common issue. From what I’ve heard, only solution is to send your Xbox to Microsoft for a fix/replacement.

  • Yondergrunt12 YonderGrunt (@Yondergrunt12) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix your achievement tracking. I love to see this. Whoever runs the Twitter just posts and says “my job is done”, gets paid and doesn’t take a second to look back. We have been trying to reach out but you guys clearly don’t care

  • PaulLivo Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @TerryHB_ @GearsofWar It was never the impact it had on the Back A that was the issue. It was how it impacted the regular gameplay everywhere else too, resulting in mind numbingly dull engagements. But yes, there's many other contributing factors too.

  • REDY0TA R E D YOTA (@REDY0TA) reported

    @OmegaRed_BC @GearsofWar @redyota 5. Rod messed 5 up with TC trying to make every new character a hero or villain for vs and horde Operation 5 ended this by getting rid of the system altogether and letting player's choose there class in horde and arcade was disabled to try to fix it but I don't think it'll return

  • Yondergrunt12 YonderGrunt (@Yondergrunt12) reported

    @Javixer88 @jmelia123 @GearsofWar Pretty traditional gears event that’s being broken here. Sorry he can’t ask a simple question without getting on your nerve

  • xcistx dylan.hann (@xcistx) reported

    @PezRadar Mana burn bug fix?

  • SpellWolfheart WolfheartSpell (@SpellWolfheart) reported

    @CoalitionGears Do we get to fix the Seriously 5 Chapter 2 achievement first?

  • Bullet19_ Bullet (@Bullet19_) reported

    @Decadence_3 @GearsofWar @Community_Gears You’re kidding me? Is there no fix at all?

  • Bullet19_ Bullet (@Bullet19_) reported

    @GearsofWar Does Gears 5 shutdown anyone else’s series x? Either a green screen or a black screen? Is it for gears 5 or is it a hardware issue?

  • ET3rNi7Y_GreeN Lorenzo (@ET3rNi7Y_GreeN) reported

    @CoalitionGears Only if y’all fix the franchise

  • VitorRi66313603 Vitor Ricardo (@VitorRi66313603) reported

    @CoalitionGears I hope from the bottom of my heart that you are not the team that will develop Gears 6. Gears 5 is, in fact, broken and destroyed. I don't speak for the Campaign or Horde or Escape mode.

  • ET3rNi7Y_GreeN Lorenzo (@ET3rNi7Y_GreeN) reported

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

  • Voxelsaurus_Vex Voxelsaurus Vex (@Voxelsaurus_Vex) reported

    @GearsofWar Can you please fix the fact that offline players can now no longer pick any character or customisation options for offline/LAN play? You updated it and completely broke this.

  • AgentAden D3 Black Mamba (@AgentAden) reported

    @YoungHarlequin2 @TavidzTV @GearsofWar It really should have ended with 3. I would say though Raam’s shadow was actually really good and that came after 3 but otherwise I think Gears 3 had the perfect ending so there was no need to continue on with the series. The main issue here is the change of studio.

  • ET3rNi7Y_GreeN Lorenzo (@ET3rNi7Y_GreeN) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix the Archievement pls! I can't finish the multiplayer! Please..... Do something!
