    @CoalitionGears guys when are you going to fix this packet loss issue. I can’t believe a big name dev can’t maintain there servers. So just because the game is old you’ve given up and don’t give a **** anymore!?

  • TALLkingboongah Frank Lane (@TALLkingboongah) reported

    @PezRadar @hutchinson the goal is to replace well above 30% but there is major issues just at 30% being electric, most ppl will need to charge to get home

    @DomezTV @SASxSH4DOWZ @CoalitionGears Central servers have been messed up for a long time. I hated playing south central when i came back from playing halo because there was always shot delays and lag even tho im on 20ms. Wasnt even close to the same game as east

  • GoWMills ⚙Brandon⚙️ (@GoWMills) reported

    Hey, can you please fix the packet loss issues on #Gears5?? @CoalitionGears. The game is borderline unplayable…

  • Pjleccese Peter Leccese (@Pjleccese) reported

    @PaulLivo I’m experiencing the same thing. Any ideas if they’ll fix the issue? @CoalitionGears

  • cdkee cdkee (@cdkee) reported

    @TALLkingboongah @hutchinson @PezRadar It's really not an issue if you charge at home or work. Charging anywhere else can actually be fast as well. I did a 400 mile trip recently, only had to charge for 25 mins total which I would've done anyway for food and bathroom breaks.

  • CaptainStains Chris R (@CaptainStains) reported

    @GearsofWar your game is suffering from extreme packet loss. Fix your game
