Gears of War 5 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DanRoggenburg Dan Roggenburg (@DanRoggenburg) reported

    @Diablo @PezRadar Nope they been updating us that they need a patch to fix AVX because my pc doesn't support AVX instruction(they ran beta without this and said it wasn't supposed to be enabled) so anyone with this is SOL until they patch it(which they keep delaying)

  • zachki5 zachki (@zachki5) reported

    @PezRadar 4. "QA is going to spend another few days of testing" no time-frame? thats nice. 5."we do recommend reaching out to Customer Service for a refund." i am totally disappointed when you guys actually resulted to saying this rather than giving it priority to be fixed ASAP.

  • Tamiraq Darkness (@Tamiraq) reported

    @ShreddeHead @PezRadar unfortunately sometimes its easier to change the requirements rather than fix stuff, even though i am sure there could be added an option to turn off avx, so people who have it can use it, and people who dont just play on a less "optimized" version

  • CoachEgghead Whiskey Lovin' Dad🥃 (@CoachEgghead) reported

    @PezRadar So many issues here but my question is why did it take until after 6pm EST on Monday, 4+ days to get to that conclusion? Why were the devs, not just QA, not working on this over the release weekend? Should have been all hands on deck all this w/e. #AVXbaitandswitch

  • aRuuuN7 Arun Bilz Mattu (@aRuuuN7) reported

    @GearsofWar is anyone working on a fix for the seriously 5.0 chapter 2 achievement, like others, mine is stuck on 99% with all requirements met.

  • Tamiraq Darkness (@Tamiraq) reported

    @Orion230 @Diablo @PezRadar you must have a cpu that supports avx, by mistake someone added that requirement to the live version, i was able to play beta just fine but now waiting for a fix

  • ashoyki Evasion (@ashoyki) reported

    @TheRealBonkman @PezRadar Have ticket open to resolve issue and refund to me. "Refunding" to Blizzard Balance is not refunding!

  • gonfurion Gonfu (@gonfurion) reported

    @PezRadar never a real fix, date or anything useful.

  • Krzysztof_102 Krzysztof Kubacki (@Krzysztof_102) reported

    @PezRadar But...party game finder on consoles still broken.

  • vinderwhite Vinder (@vinderwhite) reported

    @PezRadar Before today, I have always believed that I will not leave any comments here, and enjoy killing monsters in the game. Then there is no problem in BETA...Now blame the player’s spec below the minimum requirements and "we want to try to ensure as many people as possible can play"??

  • roppsteady roppsteady (@roppsteady) reported

    @PezRadar @AngryPidgey @dbrunski125 Can you setup some kind of locked forum post that only Blizz employees can post to? I'd like to have one place to check for updates on the AVX issue without sifting through all of the complaints

  • DecayingBlond Ken (@DecayingBlond) reported

    @PezRadar What about the map overlay problem? How has that not been fixed when it's been present for days? Makes repeated runs painful.

  • MeMeMe32353031 MeMeMe (@MeMeMe32353031) reported

    @PezRadar I've already applied for a refund. You guys really couldn't care less about us. You spend your time fixing every issue asap and then completely disregard us. We all played the beta with no problem so to tell us that our pcs are beneath min specs is disgusting. You are trash.

  • BasTijs Bas Tijs (@BasTijs) reported

    @PezRadar awww still no AVX fix :(

  • UnorthodoxedT UnorthodoxedTalks (@UnorthodoxedT) reported

    @PezRadar I hope this fixes the "connection interrupted" issue on pc... Its making the game unplayable being disconnected every 3-5 minutes

  • cum_derwear austin holland (@cum_derwear) reported

    @PezRadar Had a bug issue when speaking to alkor it would prevent me from opening inventory or skills tree

  • Orion230 Orion (@Orion230) reported

    @Tamiraq @Diablo @PezRadar I've played on both really. The only issue I had was the first day on launch with not being able to get it. Maybe I just been missing the bad moments? Not sure but it's been smooth for me.

  • man57er19 Noble (@man57er19) reported

    @maskettamanBane @GearsofWar They already said it that will never fix it

  • iiiTsJayyy Jay Abner (@iiiTsJayyy) reported

    @Necryre @PezRadar Wah wah make my games easy….. come on, need assigning skill and attributes “easier” so they made the stupid press and hold now this…. Just don’t be stupid and you won’t have these problems

  • AmericanPsychom Roughnx B8mn (@AmericanPsychom) reported

    @man57er19 @maskettamanBane @GearsofWar They fix her face but now her neck is messed up.

  • SlapmyElbow S.Mouse! (@SlapmyElbow) reported

    @PezRadar Fix the AVX issue D2R is trash

  • Gotxas Gotxas (@Gotxas) reported

    @PezRadar Your car also need a AVX issue fix parche!

  • MaHalvorsen mads lie halvorsen (@MaHalvorsen) reported

    @PezRadar what about the problem not being able to launch the game??? when is the fix coming

  • zachki5 zachki (@zachki5) reported

    @PezRadar one Q&A, non-AVX gonna be able to play or not? so we can atleast not be emotionally invested and go-on with the refund. since you guys aint prioritizing it anyway. u might fix 1000 bugs and not AVX leaving quarter of players unable to play while u guys celebrate the game we love.

  • ashoyki Evasion (@ashoyki) reported

    @PezRadar @AngryPidgey @dbrunski125 There is a critical issue preventing me as a customer from using your product. Why is it so difficult for me to know what is happening? It's piss poor for me as a customer to have to trawl through Twitter, reddit or a forum post (with thousands of replies).

  • ashoyki Evasion (@ashoyki) reported

    @PezRadar @AngryPidgey @dbrunski125 With an issue of this magnitude I want to an easy to find update every 4 hours on the official website. I want to know what is happening, when the next update will be and this to continue until the issue is resolved. What we have now is an unprofessional mess. Do better.

  • abuckley2345 Andrew Buckley (@abuckley2345) reported

    @Diablo @PezRadar I would like to chose any of them, but you dont fix the AVX issue and just peddle your marketing ****

  • Orion230 Orion (@Orion230) reported

    @Tamiraq @Diablo @PezRadar That is strange. I just got off the game myself with no issues.

  • RTIMM12 RTIMM1 (@RTIMM12) reported

    @PezRadar How's work on the console big going? It seems the multiplayer is still broken because key features of Diablo 2 are still missing. Multiplayer just doesn't work unless their are custom lobbies and in game chat. #Diablo2Resurrected

  • Aquaman31913405 Aquaman (@Aquaman31913405) reported

    @PezRadar quick question did this fix the unintended AVX error in your code
