Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • whyumadbro0 Mark Leroux (@whyumadbro0) reported

    @CoalitionGears please give gears back to epic, you guys have absolutely butchered gears series. Nothing but microtransaction fiesta and lag compensation. Show me one game where laugh players have an advantage, only in gears

  • IREB0RNx Venge Reborn (@IREB0RNx) reported

    @Koogat_VT @GearsofWar Almost like the chainsaw glitch

  • DestroWod Destro WOD (@DestroWod) reported

    First time in month on @GearsofWar 5 ... Games load fast. Allowed to vote. No synching player issue .... Wooooaw?? Same base X1. No idea why TONIGHT it worked great but it felt so good. Hope it stays that way in the futur !

  • Arcanam8 Control Arcana 🐀 (@Arcanam8) reported

    @RenownedZ3r0 @GearsofWar It isn't a claim, Cliff has talked about it countless times. If you're not smart enough to decipher themes from the game and you have missed the number of times Cliff talked about it on twitter that's a you problem. Any actual gears fan knows this lmao go be a nuisance elsewhere

  • HasanCollege Hasan Is a college boy (@HasanCollege) reported

    @CoalitionGears please Fix your game gears 5! I can’t use my customisation or characters offline when my area internet goes down! Please please fix this so we can use our skins offline when we paid for them

  • towelthetank Towelliee (@towelthetank) reported

    @PezRadar I am stressed at your app telling you you're stressed. So now I need that app to fix the stress of looking at this stress screenshot. What app is this lol

  • doc_holidaay FatherDelo🪩 (@doc_holidaay) reported

    @GearsofWar FIX THE LOBBIES! We need more people! Gears isn’t dead yall this **** is so fun! We need better skins and different maps. Maybe gas station and OG maps?

  • HylianWitcher Mark (@HylianWitcher) reported

    @Ziggy_Princess_ @GearsofWar Ok, I think that has been my problem, I am not using enough cover.

  • FatalStryke FatalStryke (@FatalStryke) reported

    @GoldGloveTV @CoalitionGears @Xbox We got a UE that wasn't completed and told they can't recreate 2007 for us. Idk man. They would have to fix UE so it works on pc & xbox fluidly and get remakes done for gears 2 & 3. Just don't see it happening unfortunately.

  • SJETS7 Silas (@SJETS7) reported

    @YeahGetFucked @GearsofWar It’s going to be broken and unplayable no matter when they release it is my mind moron fuckinh retard

  • freewillagain Ronald Locke JR (@freewillagain) reported

    @therealcliffyb its up to @EpicGames @GearsofWar to fix it with patch update if it about the shotgun roady run

  • COnScIoUsUnoO COnScIousUno (@COnScIoUsUnoO) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar What is going on with the lag? The game has been so laggy lately and taking forever to find a game. Can’t be because I’m streaming I’ve already restarted my router and heard I’m not the only one. Help?

  • RealWelshShady Real Welsh Shady | Twitch Affiliate (@RealWelshShady) reported

    Anyone else having issues with creating a co-op game or trying to join a MP match on #GearsOfWar4 #Gears4? @GearsofWar @Community_Gears Guest account doesn’t work at all, any fix - that would work?

  • Itztcruz Respect (@Itztcruz) reported

    @PezRadar @AmericanAir Flying is the worst thing I swear. It costs a fortune but it’s basically a city bus in the air worth of service. Lost or damaged luggage perpetually, the most insane security as if you’re entering the pentagon… not to mention getting a delay or cancellation. Airports = anxiety

  • KAOSN00B KAOSN00B👑 (@KAOSN00B) reported

    @BERSERKER_THiiS @GearsofWar This me u reminds me on the night of i completed the campaign in one single night with my buddy. Then when i woke up in the evening afterwards and being annoyed with the broken online

  • Ref24101 Rmy (@Ref24101) reported

    @BklynBreedGC @GearsofWar It's not like they're not working on the next installment

  • kerptastic Kerptastic (@kerptastic) reported

    @PezRadar @AmericanAir Not a fan of American at all. Whenever there is ANY problem, its handled poorly, and terrible restitution (from my personal experience that is).

  • ArthursWingman Derfal Cadern (@ArthursWingman) reported

    @Snoopydoopydoo9 @heytred @GearsofWar Reality is a game shouldn’t need new content immediately after release. The problem is it was released without content that should have been in the game to begin with like forge and couch coop.

  • E2012Da DaBigE2012 (@E2012Da) reported

    @CoalitionGears are the servers down for gears of war 3

  • GnashtyDamerch Dan (@GnashtyDamerch) reported

    @DizzyZayz @GearsofWar Rendering someone useless instead of actually using skill to kill them is the issue here. You proved my point by saying how good they are. Ruins the game, especially when it’s 3+ people using them on a team. I’ll be in a 1v3 and someone throws a flashbang and I die. So pathetic

  • Macrobioboi MacroBioBoi (@Macrobioboi) reported

    @LordThundyr @PezRadar @MrLlamaSC If I'm not mistaken this is intentional. The issue was that the game returned a broken code string in the messaging, which was fixed.

  • ReK9nfeXTj9sNX6 ジェームズ シュルツ (@ReK9nfeXTj9sNX6) reported

    @ProjectXbox17 And they lost the GOTY award to @GearsofWar, including EGM, which I had an issue of with their awards pages. Gears was definitely on there.

  • YeahGetFucked Red (@YeahGetFucked) reported

    @SJETS7 @GearsofWar Let me clarify, megamind. Do you want it soon (broken and unplayable) or do you want it finished (fully playable and working)

  • _Please_KillMe Name Cannot be blank (@_Please_KillMe) reported

    @TheeMadSlayer @GearsofWar @Halo Atriox stomps. Chief would rinse Raam so Atriox won't have any issues.

  • YeahGetFucked Red (@YeahGetFucked) reported

    @SJETS7 @GearsofWar If they take the time to finish it, instead of giving in to frothing fuckwits like you and releasing it before its ready, it won't be broken and unplayable. I can't make it any clearer

  • GnashtyDamerch Dan (@GnashtyDamerch) reported

    @PaleHorseRAAM @DizzyZayz @GearsofWar Oh I see what you mean. Basically what would eliminate that problem is having a “stun” grenade for horde/campaign/escape instead of the same Flash. It’s funny because it’s literally in the name “Flash grenade”, not stun

  • Hotstreak608 Nick Keeling (@Hotstreak608) reported

    @PezRadar Luckily the roads were pretty good so that wasn't much of a issue fortunately! SW is going to have a hell of a time after this though. It keeps snowballing.

  • Angelo60305328 Angelo (@Angelo60305328) reported

    @Koogat_VT @GearsofWar gears 2 pvp isn't bad...but it's too slow, gears 3 pvp was much better...if they fix the flaws a great remastered could come out.

  • BarDownBeef Beef🥩 (@BarDownBeef) reported

    @PezRadar I don't see a problem with that

  • Dutchyraider Jeffrey Groen (@Dutchyraider) reported from Amsterdam, Provincie Noord-Holland

    trying to finish Gears 5 Co op on Series X but my friend and i keep having server issues (both play on series x).Kicking us out everytime after like 5-10 mins… Any fixes @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears ?
