  • Fabianovlcs Fabiano (@Fabianovlcs) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears I've been trying to play versus mode since I launched it but I just can't, I haven't played a single match because the game leaves the lobby screen by itself, I've already uninstalled and installed it, etc. This has been like this since the beta, is it so difficult to fix this on
