    @CoalitionGears Fix your trash servers! It feels like the game is running at 40fps! Players are sponging everything you shoot at them! This game was not this bad a week ago! You totally broke something and never fix your buggy *** game! You really are a low budget team! Fu

  • crazydavy Dr (@crazydavy) reported

    @PezRadar @RodFergusson Was so excited for this. Unfortunately I have to cancel my pre order. I'll consider getting the game if you fix these issues on console or add crossplay.

  • Jgravey545 James Gravey (@Jgravey545) reported

    @ItsUltraMelt @GearsofWar Rando searching for answers to my question. Obviously you must be having the same issue. "out of date, please update try again"? Any fixes for us PC people?

  • Auxkkz Auxkk🎴 (@Auxkkz) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix ur game cant play broke games ya kno 👎

  • DarkBreed7 Dark Breed (@DarkBreed7) reported

    Imagine if @GearsofWar And @CoalitionGears actually fixed the known issue with PC players using mouse, and we had an even playing field again. Then I could shut up the toxic people in their community who assume I'm trash. If there's no love to fix G5 why show love by buying G6?

  • GnashtyDamerch Dan (@GnashtyDamerch) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Can you guys please fix the spawns in every mode? The game used to be 5v5, but since it’s 4v4 now, one person gets thrown in the back way farther than the others and it’s so frustrating. I swear, a couple months ago I was the back spawn for 19 out of 20 games during my session.

  • fabian_massaro Fabian Massaro (@fabian_massaro) reported

    @GearsofWar They have to fix the terrible problems they currently have while releasing new content, the rank is disgusting, it matches you with a pure level that does not even know how to use lancer to support it leaves much to be desired for the experience.

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    @GearsofWar Please fix your laggy servers #Gears5 has been unplayable the last week! The sponging is so bad that some players don't die no matter how many times you hit them!

  • robertwalton10 Robert Walton (@robertwalton10) reported

    @GearsofWar Can't have a cigar because it promotes bad health issues buy chainsaw ******** out of someone that's fine

  • KevinNjegovan Kevin Njegovan (@KevinNjegovan) reported

    @GearsofWar Now can you please fix offline customization? It also messes up both campaigns because you cannot change characters and basically makes arcade unplayable for the same reason.

  • Stevesm63101726 Steve smith (@Stevesm63101726) reported

    @GearsofWar please after drop 2 allow us to access our character and weapon skins offline like we could have before operation 5 came out. Don’t know why this changed but please fix this.

  • JimmyFunnellCFC Jimmy Funnell / / CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE (@JimmyFunnellCFC) reported

    @PezRadar @theGaGOD @Diablo Ah, just reread and realized my thought's not the case. So, if no big issues were to come up we'd be looking at days? And if so, and you want to address things via a patch, that would mean we'd be waiting longer, i.e. weeks, for ladder start, no? Sorry to be a bother, Adam.

  • ike_cube IkeCube 💜 🛩 🎮 ⚔️ 🎧 (@ike_cube) reported

    @PezRadar Im sure there is a lot of pressure to launch Resurrected before end of quarter to make sure there are some good talking points on the quarterly earnings call, but I pray the team makes sure to have a quality game and launch. No error 37 or melting graphics cards, please.

  • DriveEnd HvNz Soul | End Drive (@DriveEnd) reported

    @CoalitionGears Gears 5 won't reinstall, download, launch, or uninstall apparently. Can't delete the folder the game installs to, and I've already reinstalled 4 times data caps exist you know. This is my final attempt I will make to fix it. After that I'm done with y'all and MS.

  • Ralf51402848 Ever Blazin (@Ralf51402848) reported

    @GearsofWar Now that we’re done beating this dead horse after Op 8 its time to FPS boost GoW 2 & 3. If you won’t give us a Fenix Collection, at least FPS boost and fix servers. We’ve suffered through Gears 5 for 2 years. We dont want to do it for several more years while we wait for Gears 6.

  • DizzyNav Dizzy (@DizzyNav) reported

    @GearsofWar The cigar was a huge issue for Rod..which is fine, smoking is bad etc..but he had no problem posting countless pictures of alcoholic drinks. Slightly hypocritical.

  • giljos77 Josafat (@giljos77) reported

    @GearsofWar When will be available the relic weapons for the various horde modes on the Atrium map and not just for frenzy? or make them available for 50 waves mode at least, also when will you fix the glitch that makes IA soldiers just stand doing nothing and then disappear on horde?

  • DriveEnd HvNz Soul | End Drive (@DriveEnd) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @CoalitionGears Yeah 5 years in and still having issues of getting ghost files stuck on PC's, with no actual fix, leading to games not launching, installing or downloading. Real great.

  • Potty_Snatcher Viewtiful Jae (@Potty_Snatcher) reported

    @ohmurataka @Stevesm63101726 @GearsofWar That’s a terrible response they should fix this . And I don’t even play offline but you should have access to everything you’ve unlocked in the game you own lol . Stop belittling everyone else cuz you can’t relate .

  • kothtdm98 KOTHTDM98 (@kothtdm98) reported

    @GearsofWar This is what happens when we buy stuff to support them but we not seeing that we have to stop supporting this group so they can listen AND FIX THE DAMN GAME you guys are disgrace.

  • Deanlolxd Deano (@Deanlolxd) reported

    @GearsofWar Haha the fixes don’t fix much smh

  • 2Albertrossy Albertrossy (@2Albertrossy) reported

  • JUstAlWave Just Al (@JUstAlWave) reported

    @GearsofWar @therealcliffyb when you coming back to fix everything wrong with this game lmk then I’ll be back

  • SAEliteHunter 𝒮𝒜 𝐸𝓁𝒾𝓉𝑒 𝐻𝓊𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓇 (@SAEliteHunter) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar That’s really strange! Title update showed up on Gears 5 on Steam and Xbox Live versions. Unfortunately, Gears 5 on Xbox for Windows didn’t get the title update yet! Why?! Gears 5 on Xbox app for Windows used to get title update on time. Is that only me who’s having this problem?

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    Fix your laggy servers! Something majorly changed in the last week! Players are sponging everything you hit them with! #Gears5 @CoalitionGears

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    Come on Microsoft #Gears5 servers are completely broken and you do nothing to fix this problem when you promised all your game titles would provide dedicated servers? There is no way #Gears5 has dedicated servers with lag this bad! @CoalitionGears @XboxP3

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    You should be embarrassed with the lag and sponging going on in #Gears5 now! Come on #Microsoft fix your trash servers! This is the worse lag that I have ever seen before! Bullets are not even registering! You can unload whole clips in players and they don't die! @CoalitionGears

  • Schizonir KrimsonWannabe (@Schizonir) reported

    @REDY0TA @GearsofWar but he’s smoking FOR me so i don’t have to 😔 also it’s rated M so i don’t think that should be a problem

  • ohmurataka Ohmura Takayoshi (@ohmurataka) reported

    @Stevesm63101726 @GearsofWar Yes. But this is an online game. A live service.

  • RmY2410 David Clay (@RmY2410) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @CoalitionGears Here's the problem tho They need to start making it interesting enough for players outside the Gears community or they won't be able to continue their saga
