    @GearsofWar Can anyone help me? When TC launch a new update, something happens and my update has an error, and I have to reinstall my whole game, 60 G. I play on pc Thx

  • BeysBlades Ronald Witwicky (@BeysBlades) reported

    @RicherAdam @GearsofWar It’s because they figured out that arcade was causing server issues. So they’re taking it out for a bit until they can fix it.

  • DrunkJug CG (@DrunkJug) reported

    @CoalitionGears @TC_Shauny your game is broken on every level. 2 years and it has only gotten worse. New map. Never shows up. Great job!!!!!!!

  • felorodri Julián Rodríguez (@felorodri) reported

    @GearsofWar Guys, what about the fps drops on this map? The same goes for some recently added maps. First 5 minutes of game is all about fps drops and lag, not happening on vanilla maps.

  • Miller24Elijah MacNelious (@Miller24Elijah) reported

    @GearsofWar I’m annoyed my Xbox had a glitch and it says I don’t own this game 🗑

  • RealSgtBrian Real Sgt Brian (@RealSgtBrian) reported

    @GearsofWar What is going on with Gears lately? Every time I join a game I start lagging and can barely play. This all started after the patch update.

  • Stevesm63101726 Steve smith (@Stevesm63101726) reported

    @TC_Shauny @CoalitionGears Your doing great but question. Can you make tomb come up 100 Percent of the time atleast as a voting option for a solid week then move into normal rotation? Played all day yesterday and it didn’t show up once. You guys need to fix this. Can’t even play 1 map cause of this.

  • alvarad01910 Roberto C Alvarado (@alvarad01910) reported

    @GearsofWar @TC_Shauny And when will they solve the problems with the purchases in the store? I have been 3 weeks and I have not received my Chrome Steel

  • psu256 Angela Anuszewski (@psu256) reported

    @PezRadar I’m not a mobile creator but I do write software for a living so I am pretty good at filling out intelligble problem reports. Just saying if y’all need some testers 🤓

  • Frank59791182 Frank (@Frank59791182) reported

    @GearsofWar @TC_Shauny @GearsofWar Hoffman is still speaking as marcus wtf, you guys said in the patch notes was fix but it isn’t

  • rasiel_aquino Rasiel Aquino (@rasiel_aquino) reported

    I’m retiring from still playing your ******’ #Gears5, your game is broken since the lauching, and you can’t fix it, @CoalitionGears Bad pairing, the game expulses the gamers from the matchmaking and so mAny errors. This is the worst game ever. I’m refuse to tolerate this ****

  • Xanthicirs Video Games and Politics (@Xanthicirs) reported

    @SlNEMATIC666 @shiin0bii @GearsofWar That's for Escape. She needs a buff, yeah, but that's not one of her issues.

  • Amirxl Amir (@Amirxl) reported

    @PezRadar @Filthierich Any info on if the D3 team is working on a fix for all the freezes people are having as of late? #diablo3 32 bit client never freezes but things load so slowly :(

  • edwin343au Edwin Rosa (@edwin343au) reported

    @TC_Shauny @CoalitionGears Who do I have to talk to, to help me recover the chrome steel weapons skin set, only the lancer did not disappear after the update before the recent one? I exposed the situation in the forum, waiting for a solution to the problem and still nothing

  • Imlevelzer0 level (@Imlevelzer0) reported

    @GearsofWar Unrelated but Captain Hoffman is still using Marcus’ lines despite the supposed fix that was supposed to come with the drop

  • IAmBlackHearts @IAmBlackHearts (@IAmBlackHearts) reported

  • Xtreme2theT Xtreme Tactiicz (@Xtreme2theT) reported

    @PaulLivo @TC_Shauny @CoalitionGears Ignored every single message I’ve ever sent him... sad but I can see he’s a good guy helping the community. I know it’s not all about me me me... but some issues I’ve seen u respond to ppl about cheaters and when I post a cheater.... air 💨

  • MrxLongshot Bongshot (@MrxLongshot) reported

    @CoalitionGears actually making a solid comeback with Drop 2 the only problem now is they are being real bad about how they present this content in trailers. Presentation is key if you cant prove its good whats gonna make someone redownload or come back to gears again?

  • RG_Plxsma 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 RG Plxsma 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@RG_Plxsma) reported

    @christyboyne429 @CoalitionGears @TC_Shauny I have the same problem buddy. Hopefully he gets back to u ASAP :)

  • eliud_cornejo Duil3 Anidem (@eliud_cornejo) reported

    @CoalitionGears Hello, I had the following issue: I was playing ranked with a friend, but before start the round, the game disconnected me from the server. The problem is that my GP were decreased ( I was Onyx), this happened twice, and now i lost 3K GP. But my friend GP remains.

  • HybridExcess Alexandro Aguayo ⚙️ (@HybridExcess) reported

    @ayyeits_miller @GearsofWar The funny thing here is that you have the right to live in error, the strange thing is that as a consumer instead of asking for new material they continue to demand old content like you. And then complain that there is nothing new to offer... yeap that's the average Gears fan.

  • SASxSH4DOWZ Shadowz (@SASxSH4DOWZ) reported

    @Blunz_D @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears With Gears 5 being first live service game I think that's going to change. -The pandemic will have an impact with TC working remotely at home for over 1 year -Gears next will likely be on Unreal Engine 5 -After Gears 4/5 launches I think the team needs more time to do it right.

    @GearsofWar played through nexus siege, and none of my medals updated after a complete run. This a known issue already?
