    @GearsofWar TC: "We've fixed all the issues from Operation 6!" Us: "Hoffman still sounds like Marcus, and Prescott still sounds unfinished with half his dialogue missing. How is this fixed?" TC: "👁👄👁 Ahh shut up, have some skins."

  • neiltoxic neil wright (@neiltoxic) reported

    @GearsofWar need to fix this gnashers only ffa and we got longshots

  • Xanthicirs Video Games and Politics (@Xanthicirs) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Was that an issue people were having?

  • Stevesm63101726 Steve smith (@Stevesm63101726) reported

    @GearsofWar What’s the point in buying these skins if we can’t access them offline like before operation 5. Like we just rent them. Please fix this. Let us access our character and weapon skins while offline like before operation 5.

  • TC_Shauny TC Shauny (@TC_Shauny) reported

    @GreatBigDoofus @CoalitionGears Hey! This is a known issue already, it has been bugged!

  • Stevesm63101726 Steve smith (@Stevesm63101726) reported

    @Johnath26370303 @GearsofWar That’s the sad part is that before operation 5 released you could access al your skins for characters and weapons offline. Why they changed I have no idea. But they need to fix it. Sometimes I go offline and I like to have all my skins I earned and paid for.

  • Gabihunerror Gabi (@Gabihunerror) reported

    @lilmizrev @upsouthsleddin @GearsofWar That is the pc community so that's why we hate pc. I played Gears5 last night and the half of the players are in pc use aim bot cheat So annoying. I've seen this problem almost every other game. I never ever touch a crappy pc agan. Master race? Just a disgusting life style.

    @KlutchKwonDo @Dexmuh2 @GearsofWar Unreal Engine is known for big lag, it's nothing compared to other games. For example go play Outriders also unreal Engine.

  • TerryHB_ Terry (@TerryHB_) reported

    @okjayse @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Try the TCP shader fix. "If anyone has been having worse performance (fps wise) during the new patch, try navigating to: C:\Users\usernamehere\AppData\Local\Gears5" Delete all tcpsocache files in that directory. They will rebuild next time the game is launched and should fix it"

  • arboldelapaz Rodrigo Mouriño (@arboldelapaz) reported

    Please there is no solution to this problem, I cannot play in competitive games, because it cannot find a game, I wait like 1 min and 5, and it does not find anything. @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears @TC_Shauny

  • Gabriel93072440 Gabriel Mendez (@Gabriel93072440) reported

    @CoalitionGears Hey TC I have a problem in the past operation they took my chrome steel skins and they have not returned them, please return them to me

  • ballsba93686006 ***** ***** (@ballsba93686006) reported

    @AshbridgeDalton @GearsofWar Lmfao this game is so dogshit n broken

  • RillyDj RILLY ♉️ 👻 (@RillyDj) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar I can no longer play #Gears5 on PC and #Xbox Gaming Services does not work, there always comes an error when updating at #Microsoft Store! 🤬😓

  • TrueTrueCore TrueCore (@TrueTrueCore) reported

    @Scytx_HF @CoalitionGears Had no problem finding FFA matches in 1-2 min during Op 5 & 6 (crossplay disabled). Now it's Impossible to find even one (forced crossplay enabled). In KotH I found matches with great Ping really fast, now in Control (don't think mode is the problem) it takes longer for high ping

  • NerdyJustice Veteran Nerd (@NerdyJustice) reported

    @CoalitionGears I’m having an absolute blast getting teamed up with fellow solo queuers against squads of 4 nearly every match, to then get met with an error message at every post-game screen.

  • Stevesm63101726 Steve smith (@Stevesm63101726) reported

    @GearsofWar Can’t access character and weapon skins while playing offline. You could access them before operation 5 so I don’t know why that changed. I should be able to choose the skins I own in customization and versus offline like before operation 5. Please fix

  • abrarkhan959 G H O 5 T- G@mer (@abrarkhan959) reported

    @CoalitionGears Asian servers are not fixed yet still unable to find matches..please look into this and fix the issue for Asian servers

  • RamChop84 Terry Schall (@RamChop84) reported

    @CoalitionGears Did you deploy that fix? Because matchmaking feels a MILLION times WORSE now than it did before. It went from competitive to being absolutely destroyed every game. Smh. Come on guys

  • Born2beSlicker Mark Lawson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 Wear a Mask (@Born2beSlicker) reported

    @CoalitionGears I was finally looking into Operation 7 of Gears and saw this. Rather than adding input based matchmaking, the 40% that didn’t want to face KBM are now forced into it? FOV, FPS and latency were not the problem. It’s the KBM. Now I don’t want to play. 😓

  • DallyDante Nexus | 🩸☠️ DallyDANTE ☠️🩸 (@DallyDante) reported

    @GearsofWar And no fix for the gibs, yikes.
