Gears of War 5 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PaulLivo Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @IIxSEEKxII1 @CoalitionGears Shot delay was added early this year, it's already been played and isn't terrible. Once shot delay was added, it's removed the fun for many people. It was added to mitigate the Air Back A because some people complained, but it broke much more than just that 1 "issue"

  • Will_B45 William Bennett (@Will_B45) reported

    @CoalitionGears Give latam kids a server just for them. These triple and sometimes quadruple digit ping kids are toxic as **** and the lag they bring kills the game.

  • Luckyshot117 Ethan (@Luckyshot117) reported

    @GearsofWar Okay but why is my gears 5 not working?

  • Trizzzx_ tej (@Trizzzx_) reported

    @GearsofWar All the glitches and problems y’all have on gears i NEVER have lol ever only thing i be complaining about is i want more executions

  • CapObviousN7 Captain Obvious N7 (@CapObviousN7) reported

    @GearsofWar When will you finally fix the bug with the eternal loading screen?

  • EviI84 Evil 🇫🇷 (@EviI84) reported

    @GearsofWar None still fix for Guard Theron and his blocked gaze 🤦🏻🤔

  • Yaboikojo Logan Roberts (@Yaboikojo) reported

    @GearsofWar How do I fix PESANG??

  • IIxSEEKxII1 IIxSEEKxII (@IIxSEEKxII1) reported

    @PaulLivo @CoalitionGears We had it back when the movement was really really fast. Back when PC literally dominated everything. Now that the game slowed down tremendously, those delays need to be in the game or else you'll have the same issue's we had back then where you die instantly.

  • Will_B45 William Bennett (@Will_B45) reported

    @xBLINDEDx21 @CoalitionGears I have the same problem, my ping is almost always at a 1 but just like the little signal bars in cod that isn't an accurate representation of your ping. If you're at a 1 like me more than likely you're actually at like 22 or so. You can test ping in the console settings.

  • PhoenixKa1 PhoenixKai (@PhoenixKa1) reported

    @Voxelsaurus_Vex @MeegletheWeegle @CoalitionGears Rung for about 2 and a half weeks now, they're not going to be any help unfortunately. I'm beyond pissed, when I buy a product I expect it to work as it should. If it doesn't, then I expect good customer service, especially if it's under warranty.

  • Tyr_Fadir Zach (@Tyr_Fadir) reported

    @MF_Dunn_ @Xanthicirs @GearsofWar Absolutely agree, these rewards should be milestone earned not no life rewards. The main issue I'm having is matchmaking, most days we can go without finding matches in comp at all, we have moved on to another game, got over the wait times.

  • Joelopz1 Spartan (@Joelopz1) reported

    @GearsofWar so the game crashes on Pc halfway thru the match, then I’m penalized because the match I was on ended. Then I have to play quick match. Wow, instead of putting resources on copy and paste maps, fix the Pc side of the game maybe less crashing for once

  • KowaleskiJordan Jordan Kowaleski (@KowaleskiJordan) reported

    @GearsofWar @tc_sera Another note. Clean ur hands before you release this update. Your tc ***** hands creates alot of problems lol.

  • HigulzDaPro Oscar Ponce (@HigulzDaPro) reported

    @GearsofWar Now fix the bug that kicks you to main menu when you are in a friend lobby and you cant vote map or change character in matchmaking

  • DezHarper Dez Harper (@DezHarper) reported

    @guard7303 @GearsofWar I thought it was an error so I did it again and realized it was taken out twice. 😭

  • JoeyCollado2 Joseph (@JoeyCollado2) reported

    @GearsofWar Yeah whatever you did to the hit boxes operation 7 fix them now because point blanks with the shot gun dont always kill and its bullshit. Sorry not sorry, fix your game before people leave

  • PhoenixKa1 PhoenixKai (@PhoenixKa1) reported

    @MeegletheWeegle @CoalitionGears So you see the issue as well? Not sure if it's my TV or what, as I followed HDR setup correctly. Using game mode as well on my X900H and those settings are good.

  • xBLINDEDx21 Mikey G (@xBLINDEDx21) reported

    @CoalitionGears I know I just want this game to work so bad :(There’s no point I think I’m just going to give up they never listen they just keep putting out content no one wants and not addressing lag or connection issues

  • Loiselle313 Brett Loiselle (@Loiselle313) reported

    @CoalitionGears; I have put in 2 support tickets for the same exact issue involving a double charge of Iron for in game content, and I have YET to be contacted. 1st ticket submitted on February 9. 2nd ticket submitted on May 27. Please get back to me. Thanks in advance.

  • XRiseWolfsX XRiseWolfsX (@XRiseWolfsX) reported

    @SlNEMATIC666 @MarretaX1 @GearsofWar I would tell you but I don't want anybody getting in trouble so I'm not going to

  • PaulLivo Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @IIxSEEKxII1 @CoalitionGears But this is a crossplay discussion. I feel like you're trying to say that games can't progress because they must remain limited due to people choosing to play on old generation hardware. Do you see the limitation issue that creates? When do games decide it's time to progress?

  • swoolinq Very Rare傘 (@swoolinq) reported

    @CoalitionGears fix your game pls

  • Themadn1nja Joshua (@Themadn1nja) reported

    @CoalitionGears No point in complaining about the game it's obviously broken and it has alot of people worried about gear's 6. I for one am not looking forward to gear's 6 when they can't get this game to work correctly

  • _Xcentrique X (@_Xcentrique) reported

    @GearsofWar @TC_Shauny @tc_sera the same “internal issue” leading to being charged for the Black Steel skin and not receiving is affecting players for the third time in a row now. Please find a permanent solution for this. This time I even waited 20 minutes until after testing was completed

  • PhoenixKa1 PhoenixKai (@PhoenixKa1) reported

    @Voxelsaurus_Vex @MeegletheWeegle @CoalitionGears Poor customer service.

  • xBLINDEDx21 Mikey G (@xBLINDEDx21) reported

  • avan89zw crowheartAP (@avan89zw) reported

  • MJRose016 Mike🌹 (@MJRose016) reported

    @GearsofWar Bring back King of the Hill and fix the damage it takes to finish a downed enemy pls.

  • VulkanMaxGow VulkanMax (@VulkanMaxGow) reported

    @Chris_J77 @REDY0TA @GearsofWar Its like going down with the ship. There's no dishonor with that. If you have a problem, go play games you enjoy and let people Enjoy the games they play.

  • BuggaDmr DMR UGGA BUGGA (@BuggaDmr) reported

    @Bullet15_ @GearsofWar Is that your only response as most of the time it is I'd rather have old characters from older games then older maps as some of those old maps like mercy played horribly in gears 4, and so does gridlock and guess what that has the same issue it did on gears 4 and I gurantee so-
