Gears of War 5 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LizzieCarmine5 I Yugo I (@LizzieCarmine5) reported

    @danasissons @GearsofWar As for the downloading, it is either very slowly progressing for something that I don’t know what it is, or just not at all. I will leave it be to see if things fix themselves, but remaining doubtful.

  • LambentHammerB Gregory 'LambentHammerBurst' Boddy (@LambentHammerB) reported

    @ribnax @IGN @GearsofWar I kinda felt the banter was going to be an issue because in base Gears 5 their ingame lines acts like they've been a team for a bit (which we are to assume) but this is a prequel/first mission. So ingame non-scripted lines would contradict 'first mission' feel

  • LizzieCarmine5 I Yugo I (@LizzieCarmine5) reported

    @GearsofWar So I am running into all sorts of other issues : * Game refuses to start up and is stuck at “updating” at 212/212 GB at 100% and isn’t even downloading the Hivebuster DLC * Reups, Social tab, Tour, Horde modifiers and the like don’t load or are very slow to(1/?)

  • danasissons Dana Sissons (@danasissons) reported

    @JamesHalliday94 @GearsofWar @MrCaymanian This sounds like a GamePass issue, have you reached out to them?

  • WaveyyBoyE Lyle (@WaveyyBoyE) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar It's wild how it's been just about a month since OP. 5 and the lambent are STILL not available even though you advertised them, yet somehow still trying to include DLC that not surprising, everyone is having trouble with. TC will never get it right.

  • Blackcasper3491 Johnethan (@Blackcasper3491) reported

    @Mmk28_2 @GearsofWar I’m having the same issue wtf do we do?

  • bear_danny19911 Danny (@bear_danny19911) reported

    @GearsofWar Another day with issues surrounding gears not to mention 3 hours of just story content for £18 is incredibly overpriced when you look at what other games offer in dlc for that price

  • IddyQasim01 Adnan Qasim (@IddyQasim01) reported

    @DC___sports @CoalitionGears Had the same issue, start up gears 5 and it will tell you the progress of the update in game.

  • PapaAwiz Achillez14 (@PapaAwiz) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Servers having issues atm???

  • SodaStorm_ Cam Spencer (@SodaStorm_) reported

    @GearsofWar How does a game break on PC literally every time its updated? This is unreal please fix this. Gaming services need to be installed, (already is) and every other game on gamepass works flawlessly.

  • maskettamanBane Josh (@maskettamanBane) reported

    @BBIAJ @GearsofWar I’m having the same issue, wtf is going on!!?

  • WrathfuI_ Wrathful (@WrathfuI_) reported

    @CoalitionGears me and everyone else has 70-150 ping no matter what server every game mode custom/versus/ pub whats up? Please fix! Been going on for a week at least!

  • Brxmak 🥶 (@Brxmak) reported

    @ColinCrowClarke @CoalitionGears I was having the same problem, but I loaded the last act up and it unlocked the characters for me

  • ff_thee CarminesRevenge (@ff_thee) reported

    @AShinyRayquaza @GearsofWar @danasissons Lmao. Dana has turned that into a weapon and get out of jail free card. Sure, a fan asking if Ukkon will be in OP 7 shouldn’t be answered, but Lambent being Shown in a trailer and marketed as being apart of an update and not being there is an issue.

  • LizzieCarmine5 I Yugo I (@LizzieCarmine5) reported

    @danasissons @GearsofWar Well, it’s worked now and I can at least access the game again. Thanks for putting up with a disgruntled Gear head, was just pointing things out with details in case it could have been a TC related issue rather than an MS one.

  • BigBadBraz Braziliance ⭐ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°💧 (@BigBadBraz) reported

    @Falloutt @CoalitionGears Themselves making a very average at best game. Can't think of any other esports where this region doesn't shine, huge player base, it's a Gears issue, not a region. For that reason alone, the sheer ignorance from whoever makes decisions tells me Gears will never be back

  • kirkocain ELG | Kirkocain (@kirkocain) reported

    Just got demoted a whole rank because @GearsofWar wants to lag everyone out smh

  • Stackade_ Stack😷 (@Stackade_) reported

    @GearsofWar If the update wasent broken as hell I'd play it

  • SAEliteHunter SA Elite Hunter (@SAEliteHunter) reported

    @GearsofWar In addition, I faced another problem with silverback for Classic-Alt control scheme! silverback kept switching to rockets! I had to change control scheme back to default to make silverback moving. I wonder if anyone using Classic-Alt control scheme, faced the same problems?

  • Enclaw_ Leo (@Enclaw_) reported

    @GearsofWar For those having issues. Go to the Microsoft store and install the DLC. It should work flawlessly after that

  • DetroitSSteele Sean Steele (@DetroitSSteele) reported

    @CoalitionGears can’t play the new DLC. “Server allocation error”. At least you’re consistent. You literally **** up everything you touch. But at least you fixed Anya’s bandaid. Thanks.

  • RuiSFidalgo phbz (@RuiSFidalgo) reported

    @GearsofWar I'm having an issue. I have GP Ultimate and it still asks me to pay for it.

  • RobArctic Rob | HvNz Arctic (@RobArctic) reported

    @GearsofWar Please fix these bugs. It ruins the entire atmosphere of the cutscene

  • Basman01NL Bas (@Basman01NL) reported

    @GearsofWar The main and Hivebusters campaign disconnects Co-op players from te game, does anyone know a fix? #Gears5 #Hivebusters

  • ElPolloPai El Pollo P. (@ElPolloPai) reported

    @CoalitionGears Service and actualization are trash...

  • Falloutt Jon Kefaloukos (@Falloutt) reported

    @_KBreaker @BigBadBraz @CoalitionGears That's the problem No one showed up, no one in is competing/showing that they are working towards building/growing, the region has been stagnant or declining, and the region just blames everyone and everything else but themselves You can't help someone who won't help themselves

  • sagel_malinsky Sagel Malinsky (@sagel_malinsky) reported

    @therealcliffyb @FreedomF1ghter_ @GearsofWar Come back and fix gears you silly head 👀

  • AlejandroMelec Alejandro Melecio (@AlejandroMelec) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears fix the lancer's sights. any other weapon is more accurate

  • JesusByProxy Ginger Jesus (@JesusByProxy) reported from Santee, California

    If I wasn’t seeing an increase in my streaming views I’d stop #GearsOfWar4 #GearsOfWar #XboxGamePass Don’t buy the game it’s not worth the price. The Horde mode is good but the imbalance in MP & ping issue with people it’s the worst of the series. I haven’t played 5 & not sure

  • danasissons Dana Sissons (@danasissons) reported
