Gears of War 5 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • WhiteKnuckleJoe The Central Scrutinizer (@WhiteKnuckleJoe) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PezRadar Servers are down yet again. Why did i pre-order this again? I was able to play for an hour, took a break for dinner and BOOM servers have crapped out and no real word from Blizzard. Classic. Looks like I’ll be disputing these charges on my card. More broken games.

  • mumserik Erik Strandberg (@mumserik) reported

    @PezRadar Hey , do you have info if the issue is big again with characters already in game? It worked for 30 minutes and now this error, cant join with another character eiter. lerra #1491

  • dez__ph Diego Z. (@dez__ph) reported

    @PezRadar we got confirmed in the forum by a blizzard admin that AVX was quote "mistakenly enabled in the launch build", it wasn't in the beta. also, cyberpunk had the exact same issue and there was a day1 fix by changing just 1 byte in the .exe with a hex editor. hope that helps

  • Amirxl Amir (@Amirxl) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PezRadar #Diablo2Resurrected Friend can't launch D2R but played beta perfectly. i7-860. Some mentioned AVX is needed? is there a fix or work around for this?

  • RayLegg5 Ray Legg (@RayLegg5) reported

    @PezRadar I've heard theres some AVX compatibility issue preventing those who are using an i7 processor from playing at all. Any confirmation on this, and if so a fix?

  • microxRFANET OTuohy (@microxRFANET) reported

    @ProfessorTerp @PezRadar It really feels bad how your account has been locked I had same issue not until I was recommended to @mvzlay and he got it fixed today hit him up and be happy again

  • ProfessorTerp Michael Terpstra (@ProfessorTerp) reported

    @PezRadar my guy… going on 12 hours of my character “being in another game and my entire account basically being locked out. We need a fix, ASAP. Your player base doesn’t deserve this.

  • ElemtVGC Steve (@ElemtVGC) reported

    Hi @PezRadar Is there any known outage or work being done on players not being able to join games. It says their character is already in a game. Mine has been stuck like this since I went to bed and continues to be stuck this morning

  • TheMaesterMagus Maestermagus (@TheMaesterMagus) reported

    @PezRadar See my friends list are all on other games bc server issues prevented games from being made.

  • lordraxta Lord-Raxta 🇲🇽 (@lordraxta) reported

    @PezRadar Live but with servers down for the countless time in the day

  • shatt3r3dh3artz Shattered H3ARTZ (@shatt3r3dh3artz) reported

    @CoalitionGears I am an xbox player and ive been trying to play with my friend on pc. And it either kicks one of us with the SERA error code or we just can’t load into a game together.

  • AndreasSahlen1 Andreas Sahlen (@AndreasSahlen1) reported

    @PezRadar @BlizzardCS Update on the AVX-issue please?

  • _Tristan21_ Tristan 🐺 (@_Tristan21_) reported

    @RodFergusson @PezRadar Fix the servers

  • MnE_MMA M&E MMA (@MnE_MMA) reported

    @RodFergusson @PezRadar Straight up guys you've got a refund situation on your hands now because of the lack of care, info, and leadership on your part. The fact you didn't have employees working in shifts to fix these issues is unacceptable.

  • CRYPTOS43977311 CRYPTOSHARK (@CRYPTOS43977311) reported

    @PezRadar @Amirxl @BlizzardCS This literally only requires you guys to recompile the executable. Almost 24 hours later and still no fix, and barely any response on any platform whatsoever. Get your **** together. Bunch of amateurs.

  • JoikyLoki ItIsJoidOK.(hiatus) (comissions closed) (@JoikyLoki) reported

    @GearsofWar FIX THE SERVERS.

  • Evy316 Lee evans (@Evy316) reported

    @PezRadar are you guys having problems with the game

  • MatsTheBest Mat (@MatsTheBest) reported

    @PezRadar @RayLegg5 That's all we get? Thousands of us (many who played the beta just fine) got ****** out of playing with our friends. Everyone's on nitemare and getting world first drops and we are just sitting here with our thumbs up our asses waiting for a fix "hopefully today". Unbelievable

  • Anariuson Santi (@Anariuson) reported

    @PezRadar Oh that's nice, would love to play, If I could get past the Play button error...

  • ThomasLavoie Thomas Lavoie (@ThomasLavoie) reported

    @RodFergusson @PezRadar When will we be refunded? Diablo 2 resurrected is still not working after 12 hours of waiting... Blizzard! Please process the refunds!

  • McstallionG McstallionGaming (@McstallionG) reported

    Day 2 of #Diablo2Resurrected not working. Also today I noticed that my character dropped from level 9 to level 5 from yesterday. Siiiiiick. @d2resurrected @Diablo @PezRadar

  • Seoker Seeker (@Seoker) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PezRadar dog fix the game again plz

  • newpoison1 newpoison (@newpoison1) reported

    @PezRadar when the fix coming bro?

  • MateoZakrzewski Mateusz Zakrzewski (@MateoZakrzewski) reported

    @PezRadar Feels like half ppl are playing and another half not course of your server issues. Fix that ****

  • IndieMarco1 Indie Marco (@IndieMarco1) reported

    @PezRadar @ashoyki @RodFergusson So beta worked PERFECTLY for all of us with this problem and you screwed up, it looks you did it on purpose, why change the AVX things only for release, knowing it will affect lots of players? you are a clown.

  • ThomasLavoie Thomas Lavoie (@ThomasLavoie) reported

    @PezRadar Please refund us, the game is still not working!

  • ssij_ Artur Zientara (@ssij_) reported

    @PezRadar please fix this bug with running the game !!!!! i bought your game and i can't play !!!

  • MatsTheBest Mat (@MatsTheBest) reported

    @PezRadar Must be nice. Thousands of us took the day off work to play with our friends and can't launch the game bc of the AVX issue. Its been 24 hours and still not fixed. Massive ******* failure on your part. But go ahead and rub it in some more.

  • KrisLee05464329 Kris Lee (@KrisLee05464329) reported

    @PezRadar now imagine seeing youe friends do that while you can't get past the play button because somehow AVX is now a requirement. 24 hours later no fix...? talk about vibe killing

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

    @PezRadar @Amirxl @BlizzardCS Sucks having pre-paid for this, played Beta w/o issue, downloaded early, then have to sit & watch streamers on Twitch play because of an oversight? Problem will be that Blizz will move on with little more than an oops & half-hearted apology. QA a little lacking imo. 10 1/2 hrs
