    Gears E-Day Beta buzzing sounds when playing restarting helps fix it. When in party playing horde connection to server times out. Horde freezes sometimes. Players getting stuck on turrets. Can't remove turrets from Mount #bugs #gears #gearseday @CoalitionGears

    @GearsHate @GearsofWar The reload and the shot sometimes ruins a gnasher fight against 3 v 1 The problem is sometimes a shot doesnt register when you fire and reload bar takes long time in a fight then if you melee its like bot even worth it

    @GearsofWar another week will go by of watching everyone play new gears while I sit and I cant ******* login because of time out errors. No other games on xbox pc have this login issue. Wasted day wanting to play my most anticipated game

    @GearsHate @GearsofWar They also need to fix sprinting and the fluidity of other control schemes besides modern

    Gears Eday bugs: - Sensitivity broken Max speed no matter what - Controller invert problem Had to invert controls because the game inverted them for no reason - Ping player not working - network stats sometimes doesn’t work @GearsofWar @Community_Gears @CoalitionGears

    A bunch of hours into Gears e-day beta. PvP definitely has issues that need fixed. Horde Siege does come alive when not on Blitz mode. The 3 squads cross over, you’re not mandated to leave in a set amount of time. You can actually fight in the war. It’s really good @GearsofWar

    Getting over 100 fps in gears of war e-day using fsr4 on 1440p. I could probably get much more. User error negate my hz on my GPU were only set to 60. Game runs great. Only issue was we couldn't do the objective in horde mode. @CoalitionGears

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar can it be looked into why as an UK/EU player i’m constantly being put in NA servers? few games have been 30 ping and the other 90% im running with 120+ ping. never had this issue during the last two tests.

    @Josh_B2004 @TheDocHypnotic @GearsofWar if my card can run any other ******* game max settings no thats not my problem there is no way of defending this for a thing that should be optional at best

    Please @CoalitionGears fix server latency and hit reg😖😖 and 12 seconds of respawn time

  • Johnnie_Dyer
    Johnnie Dyer (@Johnnie_Dyer) reported

    @GearsofWar The Gears 1 feel of this game is perfect, chaotic horde mode captures what E day would be like BUT the way it controls is a massive regression from 4 and 5. It feels as clunky and laggy as Gears 1. On PC the input lag is so bad as well :-/ hoping they fix this before release day

  • Cowrex
    Fire Brad please (@Cowrex) reported

    @Josh_B2004 @TheDocHypnotic @GearsofWar no if your one of the only AAA titles where people dont even have the option thats on them not the customer, my graphic card can run every single other game thats a dev problem and an idiotic choice. im not buying a titan just to play a 5mph 3rd person shooter.

    My only gripes with E-Day is hit registration and desync. Immediate weapons seem to be fine to me atm ie; Gnasher, Lancer. Unsure of how I feel about certain weapons being in ranked. Maybe when it comes down to it I’ll have a better, thoughtful opinion. Gears of War E-Day Early Access Beta is a 9/10 for me. I didn’t have issues with performance, running on XBOX Series X 120hz with VRR. Can’t wait for the open beta next weekend. @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar

    @hard8_times I'm sure it will be fixed, be patient. It is a beta. @CoalitionGears to make sure they see the issues your are having.

    @Cowrex @TheDocHypnotic @GearsofWar It is your problem. Your card doesn’t support Ray tracing. Also depends on your resolution

    @GearsofWar Any fix for shaders not being able to compile? My game is crashing trying to compile them haven’t been able to play at all :(

  • shloobmm3
    Kwan-Tsu Dude (@shloobmm3) reported

    @GearsofWar is the same broken garbage as every Gears since 2. Every round has 2 guys that are basically terminators. 80% of shots don't register and more often than not the guy who kills you is looking sideways. New controls but same broken experience.

  • MDRIZZLY_
    MDRIZZLY (@MDRIZZLY_) reported

    I've been playing since the beta launched and my game closed more than 5 times during a match, it made a crash noise and closed the game, I've already taken 3 banned from the ranked because the game is closing by itself. @Community_Gears @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears I think these are the things you need to fix, You need to fix the Retro Lancer take the stopping power off of it Nerf the retro Lancer please, You need to put you need to fix input on controllers That's not really consistent You need to nerf theLance

    Trench 🐍 (@Trench_Devil) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears @Community_Gears On pc, seems to be a bug with controller sensitivity. I changed it mid game my first game because I felt too fast. Took down and had to keep doing it because it didn’t help till I was at 4, then I was so slow, moved it back up. Fix pl

    @GearsHate @GearsofWar Gamers are so toxic and cry babies now. Just play the damn game. Consistently bitching about something. ******* dopamine issues

  • JWalkPlays
    JDub (@JWalkPlays) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears Honestly I am having fun learning new mechanics. Being a beta I can over look crashes and hit reg issues from time to time. No chainsaw duels feels weird at least make yall clash and then bounce off to a stalemate. Lancers bloom should be tighter

  • Red_Exalt
    Red Exalt🐺 (@Red_Exalt) reported

    @CoalitionGears fix the gnasher delay. Work on inconsistent slide recovery frames. There has been a lot of times I've died while behind cover and even a whole wall. Also, why do grenades throws make me feel like I have limp arms? Some climbing spots feel inconsistent as well.

    @Cowrex @TheDocHypnotic @GearsofWar No. It’s a you problem. RT cards have been out since 2018. It’s now 2026. If you don’t have one. That is your problem
