    @XboxSupport @splashdamage @CoalitionGears When playing Gears Tactics my controller will disconnect. Won't reconnect even with a USB connection until I do a complete restart of the Series X.

  • flabberquestion Flabberquestion (@flabberquestion) reported

    @CoalitionGears #gears5 What is up lately switching to from gnasher to Lancer that it doesn't fire? Is this a known bug? Anyone else have this problem?

  • lipe1370 Felipe Dornelas (@lipe1370) reported

    @GearsofWar XP in gears of war ultimate is not working...

  • N1ngN1ng Nic (@N1ngN1ng) reported

    What’s happened to #Gears5 since last week? So much lag on it too and what’s with the high pings?! I thought it was me, but played on three separate consoles in different parts on the UK and it’s the same An issue at @CoalitionGears methinks #GearsOfWar #XBox

  • AuroraSym Matt (@AuroraSym) reported

    @TC_Kilo @CoalitionGears @danasissons The US South Central servers are constantly lagging with lots of skipping/rubber banding and shot registration issues. It's been like this for the past two days as well. Can we get a server reset or something?

  • matthewtminer Matthewtminer (@matthewtminer) reported

    @GearsofWar Nah, poor tuning, pay to win cross play. You should be really looking at your broken net code, and the cheapest servers Microsoft could come up with.

  • RICKtooSLICK BIRJ 🦂♏ (@RICKtooSLICK) reported

    Gears of war 5 is a bad joke. Fix it. Lol. @CoalitionGears

  • thatguy_779 that guy (@thatguy_779) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix the servers

  • Ctoriez Stories (@Ctoriez) reported

    @AmericanPsychom @CoalitionGears I noticed more latency issues but assumed it was a 'me' problem, who knows.

  • constrided Real 💿 (@constrided) reported

    @GearsEsports @GearsofWar Could you guys fix your servers? I literally have 100 ping consistently every single game. This wasn’t a issue on launch, despite all the other issues... please for the love of God, fix the servers.

  • Space01001 ShockSpace (@Space01001) reported

    @CoalitionGears Seriously. Guys. The ******* lag. Can you fix it already?!!?

  • oJAGZo (BFDA) JAG3RB0MB (@oJAGZo) reported

    @GearsofWar Gow5 locked under a dlc paywall lives rent free in my head. Fix your **** @GearsofWar

  • ItzTrulyy Qhifz (@ItzTrulyy) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar you stupid ***** are 1/2 years into the game I’m lagging out and you guys ban me for that shi

  • IvannReyess2411 IvannReyess2411 (@IvannReyess2411) reported

    @CoalitionGears @EG_wicho There is an error in the game, which happened to me, when I went to Onicé, they gave me 2,500 Gears Coins, but when I went to the main menu, I no longer had them, I left the game, restarted my console and still did not have my Gears coins.

  • codykek Cody (@codykek) reported

    @VitamiinP @PezRadar No way, I have the same problem. I despise the greasy feel of lotion but winter just kills my skin. Does it work on your face too?

  • Trevon53432960 Trevon (@Trevon53432960) reported

    @GearsofWar fix your game

  • JonathanNowison JZ (@JonathanNowison) reported

  • RoyalFlashman Royal Flashman (@RoyalFlashman) reported

    @GearsofWar @TC_Kilo You guys need to fix this ****. Dm me and me ill give you some story and character ideas.

  • ObscureNovice The odd man out (@ObscureNovice) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix your game please. #Gears5

  • RogueDakotan G.I. (Tract) Joe (@RogueDakotan) reported

    @CoalitionGears @TC_Kilo are random, no error message, crashes common or a known issue on PC? Or am i just lucky? I have an NVIDIA card if that helps and no other modern games crash on me. Gears recommends all ultra settings and I run at Medium/High and it still crashes.

  • Ctoriez Stories (@Ctoriez) reported

    @OculusDiaboli @CoalitionGears You make a valid argument, I suppose on the bigger tile maps it feels like that... I've always tried to stay away from em, I've never had that issue on Foundation for example.

  • Ctoriez Stories (@Ctoriez) reported

    @PaulLivo @TC_Kilo @GearsofWar Biggest issue is the delay added to negate 'Air Back A's'

  • fakefoxygrandma Foxy Spelunkus (@fakefoxygrandma) reported

    @CoalitionGears when will you address the issue of ping manipulation? I am forced to have high ping so compensate for others low connections or use of VPN. Please fix this asap or fix the server stability. They move without delay while I have to suffer for their bad connection

  • AlonzoStuu Taylor Gang Stu (@AlonzoStuu) reported

    @CoalitionGears fix your game, got kicked from the game!? Get banned!? Lol what a joke

  • oJAGZo (BFDA) JAG3RB0MB (@oJAGZo) reported

    @GearsofWar @danasissons this is straight up bs. I don’t care about a hive buster dlc. I want to play the game I’ve already purchased straight up with out gamepass. Fix this or give me my money back

  • DrunkJug CG (@DrunkJug) reported

    @XboxP3 you can’t get your shitty studios to fix their broken *** games (looking at you @CoalitionGears ) but you think it’s a good idea to double live prices when PC players play for free. You people are stupid. About done with your platform.

  • MakkaZilla Carl McClay (@MakkaZilla) reported

    @KingAbzTV @SweatySlim @CoalitionGears ...problem with the IP continuing. But I think the mainline games need to change. I also don't think it is out of the question for TC to develop something outside the Gears IP at the same time. Might be nice to see if they had something with the IP they were....

  • M1_N_Family Mike Thompson (@M1_N_Family) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Gears just literally lag me out and banned me and my girl for no reason!!! what is going on? Fix this please!

  • necrosael89 angel (@necrosael89) reported

    @CoalitionGears 3 times in the day get out, what's the problem???
