  • KevinNjegovan Kevin Njegovan (@KevinNjegovan) reported

    @GearsofWar Now can you please fix offline customization? It also messes up both campaigns because you cannot change characters and basically makes arcade unplayable for the same reason.

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    Fix your laggy servers! Something majorly changed in the last week! Players are sponging everything you hit them with! #Gears5 @CoalitionGears

  • Ralf51402848 Ever Blazin (@Ralf51402848) reported

    @GearsofWar Now that we’re done beating this dead horse after Op 8 its time to FPS boost GoW 2 & 3. If you won’t give us a Fenix Collection, at least FPS boost and fix servers. We’ve suffered through Gears 5 for 2 years. We dont want to do it for several more years while we wait for Gears 6.

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix your trash servers! It feels like the game is running at 40fps! Players are sponging everything you shoot at them! This game was not this bad a week ago! You totally broke something and never fix your buggy *** game! You really are a low budget team! Fu

  • Potty_Snatcher Viewtiful Jae (@Potty_Snatcher) reported

    @ohmurataka @Stevesm63101726 @GearsofWar That’s a terrible response they should fix this . And I don’t even play offline but you should have access to everything you’ve unlocked in the game you own lol . Stop belittling everyone else cuz you can’t relate .

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    @GearsofWar Please fix your laggy servers #Gears5 has been unplayable the last week! The sponging is so bad that some players don't die no matter how many times you hit them!

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    I have been playing #Gears for years and never felt lag like this before! The last has been so laggy that it's impossible to compete! The @CoalitionGears added PC players and the game feels like total trash! How can a game lag this bad in 2021? I lost all respect for #Microsoft

  • crazydavy Dr (@crazydavy) reported

    @PezRadar @RodFergusson Was so excited for this. Unfortunately I have to cancel my pre order. I'll consider getting the game if you fix these issues on console or add crossplay.

  • TobiasSpecht3 Tobias Specht (@TobiasSpecht3) reported

    @CoalitionGears can u please fix the Tracker for the Achievements some are stuck and some are totally wrong! For example I have round about 46000 -47000 Kills the Tracker says 86% from 100000 Kills! I would be nice if you take about it! Thx

  • DriveEnd HvNz Soul | End Drive (@DriveEnd) reported

    @CoalitionGears Gears 5 won't reinstall, download, launch, or uninstall apparently. Can't delete the folder the game installs to, and I've already reinstalled 4 times data caps exist you know. This is my final attempt I will make to fix it. After that I'm done with y'all and MS.

  • Schizonir KrimsonWannabe (@Schizonir) reported

    @REDY0TA @GearsofWar but he’s smoking FOR me so i don’t have to 😔 also it’s rated M so i don’t think that should be a problem

  • JUstAlWave Just Al (@JUstAlWave) reported

    @GearsofWar @therealcliffyb when you coming back to fix everything wrong with this game lmk then I’ll be back

  • RmY2410 David Clay (@RmY2410) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @CoalitionGears Here's the problem tho They need to start making it interesting enough for players outside the Gears community or they won't be able to continue their saga

  • fabian_massaro Fabian Massaro (@fabian_massaro) reported

    @GearsofWar They have to fix the terrible problems they currently have while releasing new content, the rank is disgusting, it matches you with a pure level that does not even know how to use lancer to support it leaves much to be desired for the experience.

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    Come on Microsoft #Gears5 servers are completely broken and you do nothing to fix this problem when you promised all your game titles would provide dedicated servers? There is no way #Gears5 has dedicated servers with lag this bad! @CoalitionGears @XboxP3

  • DizzyNav Dizzy (@DizzyNav) reported

    @GearsofWar The cigar was a huge issue for Rod..which is fine, smoking is bad etc..but he had no problem posting countless pictures of alcoholic drinks. Slightly hypocritical.

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

  • Deanlolxd Deano (@Deanlolxd) reported

    @GearsofWar Haha the fixes don’t fix much smh

  • 2Albertrossy Albertrossy (@2Albertrossy) reported

    @adriankenny @Bloodhunt @GearsofWar still has this in gears 5. Could be a ping issue?

  • ohmurataka Ohmura Takayoshi (@ohmurataka) reported

    @Stevesm63101726 @GearsofWar Yes. But this is an online game. A live service.

  • DarkBreed7 Dark Breed (@DarkBreed7) reported

    Imagine if @GearsofWar And @CoalitionGears actually fixed the known issue with PC players using mouse, and we had an even playing field again. Then I could shut up the toxic people in their community who assume I'm trash. If there's no love to fix G5 why show love by buying G6?

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    What did you do to #Gears5 this game is completely broken?I shot a player down and unloaded a whole Gnasher in them and they did not die no matter how many times I hit them! This is pathetic! Mexicans have total host advantage! You suck @CoalitionGears and I hope you get fired

  • DriveEnd HvNz Soul | End Drive (@DriveEnd) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @CoalitionGears Yeah 5 years in and still having issues of getting ghost files stuck on PC's, with no actual fix, leading to games not launching, installing or downloading. Real great.

  • giljos77 Josafat (@giljos77) reported

    @GearsofWar When will be available the relic weapons for the various horde modes on the Atrium map and not just for frenzy? or make them available for 50 waves mode at least, also when will you fix the glitch that makes IA soldiers just stand doing nothing and then disappear on horde?

  • Auxkkz Auxkk🎴 (@Auxkkz) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix ur game cant play broke games ya kno 👎

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    You should be embarrassed with the lag and sponging going on in #Gears5 now! Come on #Microsoft fix your trash servers! This is the worse lag that I have ever seen before! Bullets are not even registering! You can unload whole clips in players and they don't die! @CoalitionGears

  • kothtdm98 KOTHTDM98 (@kothtdm98) reported

    @GearsofWar This is what happens when we buy stuff to support them but we not seeing that we have to stop supporting this group so they can listen AND FIX THE DAMN GAME you guys are disgrace.

  • BeysBlades Ronald Witwicky (@BeysBlades) reported

    @RuBeerology @GearsofWar It was awful a few months ago but they fixed the issue where if you cancel your chainsaw you end up reloading

  • Stevesm63101726 Steve smith (@Stevesm63101726) reported

    @GearsofWar please after drop 2 allow us to access our character and weapon skins offline like we could have before operation 5 came out. Don’t know why this changed but please fix this.

  • ike_cube IkeCube 💜 🛩 🎮 ⚔️ 🎧 (@ike_cube) reported

    @PezRadar Im sure there is a lot of pressure to launch Resurrected before end of quarter to make sure there are some good talking points on the quarterly earnings call, but I pray the team makes sure to have a quality game and launch. No error 37 or melting graphics cards, please.
