    @PezRadar My problem is it still days I'm in a game but I'm not and I can't join.

  • mipzhap Marc Ilsø Poulsen (@mipzhap) reported

    @Zizaran @PezRadar Won't that become a problem in the 3rd difficulty? I seem to recall that in act 1 every mob is cold immune, which I remember ruined it for me.

  • PaulLivo Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @JT04st @CoalitionGears Only took 9 months and a total mess in order to see the obvious issue. SMH

  • ZoeJargon Zoe Jargon (@ZoeJargon) reported

    @CoalitionGears I have a problem with gears 5, I bought the suit of kait hive hunter and the character of lizzie carmine, but when i turn off the xbox and enter again in the game i dont have the characters but the money either, is it a bug?

  • Xyphien Xyphien (@Xyphien) reported

    @Diablo @PezRadar the game just kicked me out after playing for an hour, it says my guy is level 1 and I get an error "Failed to enter game. This character could not be found on the server. Please try again." are the servers down or did I just get *****ed ...

  • OrbitalFrame7 Wootz43 (@OrbitalFrame7) reported

    @PezRadar Yup, I can't even create a character. "Issue occurred while communicating with the server".

  • Bear_Diablo Diablo (@Bear_Diablo) reported

    @PezRadar Ohh really? ******* blizzard learn nothing.... Diablo 3 error 37, diablo 2 resurrected open beta check internet connection, diablo 2 resurrected release, guess what? ******* not working

  • matt_saunders_ Matt Saunders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪⭐️⭐️ (@matt_saunders_) reported

    @xbox_xTrilonx @PezRadar So some random person who has no history or loyalty with a game gets given stuff to hype up a game and often free things to give to their followers, it exacerbates the problem. There are no gaming commission rules, they’re just giving product out to whoever they want. Bad.

  • GrimSZN Taylor (@GrimSZN) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix Gears 6

  • RealAsianRobot RealAsianRobot 🤖 (@RealAsianRobot) reported

    @PezRadar #Diablo2Resurrected Character Progress on Online is NOT saved. Lost 40 minutes on my Necromancer. Seriously. fix please!

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    The @CoalitionGears totally mutilated #Gears5 and everyone quit playing the game! Players that played #Gearsofwar for years left the game! Now the Coalition is forcing Console players to play PC players because the game is dead! The servers lag so bad it's impossible to compete

  • Sughizo Lee Kim Kee (@Sughizo) reported

    @PezRadar Id rather go for death then to suffer the login issues like a standard Blizzard launch game!

  • wonderfulsoma Soma (@wonderfulsoma) reported

    @PezRadar I keep getting an issue saying my character is already in a game :[

  • 2Albertrossy Albertrossy (@2Albertrossy) reported

    @xBLINDEDx21 @CoalitionGears Stuff that I get like 98% like 3 times in one game on village. Fix 98%!

  • DallyDante 🩸☠️ DallyDANTE ☠️🩸 (@DallyDante) reported

    @GearsofWar The tuning was great. Only issue i had was shots not registering properly, other then that please stay on the the right track this time.

  • HabitzGaming Habitual (@HabitzGaming) reported

    @PezRadar Nothing better than spending what little time you have than leveling only to be rolled back levels then having the "character already exists" error.... 20+ years and getting old D2 errors lol.

  • SaintLewdest Charles Wilkinson (@SaintLewdest) reported

    @PezRadar @Diablo for some reason my character just randomly vanished from the server. No crash nothing. Just gone. When I exited game and tried making new game it said unable to find character on server.

  • KyonPT Kyon (@KyonPT) reported

    @on_god23 @XboxSupport Mine shuts off only on Gears 5 while playing online. It’s absolutely random. It’s been like this since operation 7 for me. Before that Series X worked flawlessly. @CoalitionGears has done nothing to fix this. I know some users with the same exact problem, only on Gears MP.

  • TempsterGG Tempster (@TempsterGG) reported

    @PezRadar And fix your **** servers while you are at it.

  • joe100_average AVERAGE_JOE100 (@joe100_average) reported

    @CoalitionGears any word on fixing the error preventing players on Xbox and pc players from playing the campaign coop together

  • Genesis_Bk2 Genesis BK2🇨🇦⚜️ (@Genesis_Bk2) reported

    @PezRadar @RodFergusson Hey server issue on ps4 cant play anymore lol

  • CeeJayCarter3 CeeJay Carter (@CeeJayCarter3) reported

    @PezRadar Amazon! Btw, I’m sure you get this a lot, but would you guys PLZ consider putting “wsg” (weapon swap cancels stun animation) back in the game like legacy d2LOD? Without it, the pvp aspect is broken against stun skills. Great work on D2R, looking forward to putting time in! Thanks

  • JimmyFunnellCFC Jimmy Funnell / / CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE (@JimmyFunnellCFC) reported

    @PezRadar Can the issue be resolved or have we just lost an hour of playtime, Adam? Just asking to know whether or not it makes sense to make a new char..

  • TerryHB_ Terry (@TerryHB_) reported

    @PaulLivo @GearsofWar Epic also couldn't fix some of the issues with Judgement because MS didn't allow them to. I wonder how much that's still a problem now
