  • Arcanam8 Control Arcana (@Arcanam8) reported

    @xWarPlays @GearsofWar Wallbouncing doesn't mean you're good We need to get out of the mentality that people can *only* wallbounce. Most wallbouncers just wanna show off, they're not good at the game. If you are good at the game, these so called bad players wouldn't be an issue for anyone 🌚

  • dleonxl Unreal (@dleonxl) reported

    @supersophz @CoalitionGears Lol i find matches with no problem.

  • chriscarmine21 21degrees (@chriscarmine21) reported

  • XxP4KITOxX P4KITO (@XxP4KITOxX) reported

    @GearsofWar Hi, me & my friend are gears fans, we played the first 4 without issues this week in coop mode. But now that we start the 5, the player who doesn't host the campaign is kicked out after 5 min. We reinstalled, we even switched host but the issue remains. Help us.

  • THEHEROFALL5 Brendan (@THEHEROFALL5) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Does anyone knows what they mean by service upgrade

  • mokola73699118 mokola (@mokola73699118) reported

    @GearsofWar Will there be a fix for the „event planner„ achievement? It is sill broken!

  • JuanCarlosLmlxd Juan Carlos Ocho (@JuanCarlosLmlxd) reported

    @CoalitionGears No, Guadalajara still today keep issues packet loss. I have 20 ms, 80mbps Totalplay. Only Gears 5.

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    Getting kicked out of ranked matches continually in #Gears5 is not cool! #Gears5 has been out since 2019 and you still have these major issues going on? Every few ranked matches players are getting booted from games! Fix your bugs! This is pathetic!! @CoalitionGears

  • DarkBreed7 Dark Breed (@DarkBreed7) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears I've shown you guys the issue of broken adhesion on mouse. It doesn't matter how late in Gears cycle it is. This is unacceptable, compounded by the fact Gears 6 is nowhere in sight. It HAS to be fixed. Don't keep forsaking traditional PC players.

  • TheWickerMan972 Henrique S. Lima (@TheWickerMan972) reported

    @CoalitionGears @Community_Gears #65590 #65591 Can you fix it?

  • Soundwave_GI SOUNDWAVE GI (@Soundwave_GI) reported

    @GearsofWar please fix your matchmaking penalty. Before a match, If I want to quit when the maps available are all trash, collect stats. If your matchmaking drops my squad member on 2v2 and I try to drop, don’t penalize me. Look inward.

  • syndicateGOW Syndicate | Shinji VII (@syndicateGOW) reported

    @Arcanam8 @xWarPlays @GearsofWar Imo g5 is the problem, way easier to bounce so more people who couldn’t do it before now can, that mixed with the overall bad gameplay (horrible latency / aim assist etc) that have plagued this title destroyed the need for bouncing and diminished the previous skill gap

  • Kal1bur_G Kal1bur G (@Kal1bur_G) reported

    @ThatsLeviathan @Filthierich @PezRadar can either of you confirm this is the sound/lag fix

  • MiguelArcadioC4 Miguel Arcadio Cruz Tovar (@MiguelArcadioC4) reported

    @XboxSupport hello i have 4 days traying to play Gears 5 and the lag is horrible they say @CoalitionGears that they fixed the problem but it's not true. I have 10 to 20 ping and 100 mg down 20 upload and the Game is just horrible

  • acuk223 Александр (@acuk223) reported

    @CoalitionGears I have a problem. Can't play campaign with my friend. PC and Xbox. What's wrong with ur crossplay?

  • rose_thorne568 Rose Thorne (@rose_thorne568) reported

    @GearsofWar GOW 5 keeps fully downloading and reinstalling on my PC like wth? Never happened until recently and I've made no changes to set up. With that and the amount if recent issues with game freezing and pvp issues I'm about ready to give up on this franchise:(

  • LerbertShemon Lerbert Shemon (@LerbertShemon) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears @Community_Gears Please can you fix the Icon/Gametype bug, the txt reads 'Deathmatch' but the icon will be for Dodgeball - lots of ppl are choosing gamemodes no one wants (Gridiron & Dodgeball).

  • Duante73 Donald Hensley (@Duante73) reported

    @CoalitionGears your gears game has made a beloved game utter trash......I play and I am constantly kicked out of matches. Given penalties in ranked. And deal with other players whose pings are in the hundreds. And you don't care to fix any of this. You just want ur money.

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    I just played a ranked match in #Gears5 where the lag was so bad that you could not kill anyone on the other team no matter what you hit them with! The @CoalitionGears is pathetic with lag this bad in their game! FU

    @TheGregPage @GearsofWar Does this person not know this game is going under new management? Like real soon to fix an change everything?

  • _Xcentrique X (@_Xcentrique) reported

    Thinking about the fact that the weapon set issue still hasn’t been fixed, and it’s been a full day since yesterday’s update! @Community_Gears @GearsofWar

  • KennyTanzer Kenny Tanzer (@KennyTanzer) reported

    @RodFergusson @Ckraye44 @PezRadar Want to mention the nintendo switch version? Cause we didn't get a beta..... so we don't even have an idea... what I am buying. I miss the days when games usually didn't launch broken didn't have to rely on patches to fix them games....

  • bufongalactico Daniel Ruvalcaba (@bufongalactico) reported

    @CoalitionGears You don't fix ****,it's been 3 months since I started having the same issue of me getting kicked out of matches,I'd love to blame it on my internet connection but gears is the only game where I have this stupid problem

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    The lag in #Gears5 is totally insane! There is no way #Gears5 has dedicated servers with the sponging going on in this game! The @CoalitionGears should retire because they are clueless how to develop gamess! Indy games have better connections! #Microsoft

  • Noisyboy_AL Jonathan Ortiz (@Noisyboy_AL) reported

    @GearsofWar @Community_Gears @CoalitionGears Can someone help me resolving my problem of my disappeared chrome steel set my gt is Cs Noisyboy AL
