Gears of War 5 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    There is no excuse for a game to lag this bad ever especially a #Microsoft game! The @CoalitionGears ruined one of the best games in the world! Gears5 feels like a masterpiece compared to #Gears5! No competitive gamer will play a game with major lag where they can't compete!

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears you’re a bunch of meter maids. Gears of War Ultimate Edition is down. Fix it now or the Locust will destroy civilization

  • Sexcalibure Paul Hémyst (@Sexcalibure) reported

    @PezRadar Please fix the exploding arrow bug on act 1 merc! Using Ravenclaw/brand/kuko shakaku on a A1 merc shows the explosion but never deals aoe damage

  • DecayingBlond Ken (@DecayingBlond) reported

    @PezRadar Glad to hear that. Did you guys fix the mana burn bug also? I hope Next Hit Always Misses gets fixed shortly after release too.

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    Fix your servers #Microsoft this is your issue! The most important thing in any competitive shooter is for both teams to be on a level playing field..#Gears5 is horrible the reason most players quit! There is no excuse for any game to be this bad @XboxSupport @CoalitionGears

  • CJTheCarGuy Christian (@CJTheCarGuy) reported

    @GearsofWar are the servers down or is it on my end?

  • KoRnFrEaKrOx Jordan Hodges (@KoRnFrEaKrOx) reported

    @GearsofWar Your game is broken it won't let me start any type of game please fix

  • DanielHeithorn Daniel Heithorn (@DanielHeithorn) reported

    @PezRadar I am still amazed that Duriel in act 2 is still a One Hitter on a Mage 20 years later. Even the same load lag as 20 years ago is present, which causes you are already dead when the tomb level is shown. Even on a Xbox Series X...

  • asiesm8 asiesm8 (@asiesm8) reported

    @PezRadar Cool, but fix NHAM, pls.

  • Geremaya3 Geremaya (@Geremaya3) reported

    @Community_Gears @CoalitionGears Are the servers down?

  • Feta__Cheese That_Guy (@Feta__Cheese) reported

    @PezRadar You guys should fix the drop rate bug. I never find anything.

  • DinoGrimm47 Dino❤🇺🇸 (@DinoGrimm47) reported

    @TonyaDavidson86 @GearsofWar My friend and I are having the same problem.

  • SirMole1 Sir Mole (@SirMole1) reported

    @CoalitionGears So my friend and I were planning on playing Gears Ultimate Edition as he has never played through the gears games and we keep getting ONLINE SERVICE ERROR failed to retrieve online profile. Have you taking the servers down or is this an outage???

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Is the team aware how laggy the servers have been for the last two weeks where it's impossible to play the game? I can unload whole Gnasher clips in players and they don't die but they hit me once and I'm dead! Things have changed radically with #Gears5 the last two weeks!Fix it

  • adymusTV adymus (@adymusTV) reported

    @PezRadar Just a small question , why do you feel the need to upgrade each year ? They just said its just a maybe better camera and 2,5 hours longer baterry . I got my 12 pro max for 1 year and got no issues :D

  • PandaSenpa1 Roy Keane (@PandaSenpa1) reported

    @OculusDiaboli @GearsofWar No the real issue is the gib range and rifle play

  • BennyC93 Ben (@BennyC93) reported

    @jmelia123 @GearsofWar A small team making skins can't be too much of an issue you'd think. Small revenue stream and a reason to keep playing for people like you say

  • Denzl82 Cave Jackson (@Denzl82) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix your servers

  • TonyaDavidson86 Tonya Davidson (@TonyaDavidson86) reported

    @OG_NIGHTHAWK_ @GearsofWar I'm having same issue..

  • Fenris9408 CrimsomWolf (@Fenris9408) reported

    @GearsofWar can't play because matchmaking keeps getting an error...

  • TherxnEl1te Live Therxn (@TherxnEl1te) reported

    Are servers down again? @CoalitionGears @Community_Gears

  • Spencer0061 Spencer Christian (@Spencer0061) reported

    Why are the servers down for gears ultimate edition?? @GearsofWar

  • TonyaDavidson86 Tonya Davidson (@TonyaDavidson86) reported

    @GearsofWar What's going on.. I can't connect to gears of war service.. My online connection is fine! FIX YOUR END.

  • Youroffended1 Youroffended (@Youroffended1) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Not sure if anyone else cares but I'm getting online service error when trying to connect to GEARS ULTIMATE EDITION. Haven't been online in months and bought gold just to play this game. Bummer!!

  • withonea Aron (@withonea) reported

    @GearsofWar I personally like that Dawn was added in, Gears 5 more and more is starting to feel like Gears of War 4 to me. Bring on Fuel Depot, Avalanche, Diner, Rustlung, and Old Town would be fun. Now fix the servers so I can play please...
