Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Rennix_ Rennix (@Rennix_) reported

    @Vernon_McFadden @BlizzardCS @PezRadar They previously allowed multiple hyphens but now seem to only allow a single hyphen, but the issue seems to be something on the backend after the renaming process.

  • AnimeWeeeb69 🔞AnimeWeeeB🚷 (@AnimeWeeeb69) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix your servers it shouldn’t take 20 mins to fina a match on gears 4-5 it’s really sad

  • AaronGl93748766 Aaron Glenn (@AaronGl93748766) reported

    @PezRadar Who cares really!! You guys have literally Lost 80-90 percent of your console players because you won’t add players command until YOU guys get chat and lobbies figured out!! Quick fix idk why that would be SOO hard to do!! 7-8 months later and console players have gotten NOTHING!

  • Rennix_ Rennix (@Rennix_) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PezRadar Thanks for the reply. I assume you mean the console region? If so, I just tried that and still getting the failed to join error.

  • Rennix_ Rennix (@Rennix_) reported

    @jericon @PezRadar “Failed to join game” is the full error

  • FuzzleFizzle Fuzzle Fizzle (@FuzzleFizzle) reported

    @Punk_N_Pi3 @itznazz313 @CoalitionGears then what is??? del? them being aware that a one dictator tyranny is fascism? The all around pessimism about the old history of the planet, and hopeful tone that the new generation will fix it??

  • BlockedUno Blocked Uno (@BlockedUno) reported

    @PezRadar Day 2: It was so hard to find people. I will cancel the NSO trial and switch back to offline mode until patch 2.5 or 3.0 add a fix to find people in console. Great ladder start tho. Servers are smooth (feel bad for EU day 1) but the new code for servers is a good job done 💯/💯.

  • FadyenRoss Ross McFadyen (@FadyenRoss) reported

    @CoalitionGears You need to fix gears 5 it’s not working right

  • Devocito Devon Harris (@Devocito) reported

    @PezRadar Why dont you work on diablos issues.

  • Rennix_ Rennix (@Rennix_) reported

    @PezRadar I am playing D2R on Xbox series x and was prompted to rename one of my mules who had two hyphens in their name. After renaming it, they fail to join every game I make. Is this a known issue? This is on SP btw.

  • K1ll3rXtreme XtremeK1ll3r (@K1ll3rXtreme) reported

    @UnJoueurDur @CoalitionGears There will not be any new IP's stop believing stupid rumours just because shadow lol they ****** up 3 games already , 4 and 5 broken af in multiple aspects tactics boring af and dead pop literally servers got shutdown and u think they ready for new ip's u funny guys 🤡

  • KevinNjegovan Kevin Njegovan (@KevinNjegovan) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix offline customization for gods sake. This is so broken without a server connection now that if you don't fix it at least have the decency to put online connection required in the Microsoft store description

  • sideburnsofdoom Discouraged Oblong (@sideburnsofdoom) reported

    @GearsofWar With gears 5 support stopping, please consider finally updating ultimate edition on windows 10. We've been waiting years for an fps fix

  • ProGear360 Whoopsie-Gear (@ProGear360) reported

  • cjdig86 cjdig86 (@cjdig86) reported

    @jared_rosmarin @GearsofWar Not to be annoying, but what exactly is the glitch?

  • FadyenRoss Ross McFadyen (@FadyenRoss) reported

  • jeyoungs052393 Joey Adey (@jeyoungs052393) reported

    @CoalitionGears Hopefully they can hire someone to fix the woke work left behind by the Gears 5 team and Make Gears Great Again!

  • HititWitaShammy Randy Sanchez (@HititWitaShammy) reported

    @GearsofWar can you fix your servers. Saturdays are for the GEARS

  • Rennix_ Rennix (@Rennix_) reported

    @PezRadar @BlizzardCS Yeah I’m fully up to date. My friend is having this issue too and tried reaching out to @BlizzardCS and they told him to submit a ticket which we can’t because it asks for logs from pc or mac.

  • Riphade Riphade (@Riphade) reported

    @BERSERKER_THiiS @OfficialXboxU @CoalitionGears Maybe the horrible story that was seen coming a mile away? The **** tier MTX? Crappy modes and ruined horde? Bad and cringy dialog? 40 representative flags but only one is America? Horribly implemented coop? Broken saves? Character death choice that WON'T pan out in G5?

  • AndrewCount AndrewYo (@AndrewCount) reported

    @Malrx4 @cydoz_ @GearsofWar Expectable. Tactics is far newer and had fewer discounts before. Plus Gears 5 is a multiplayer game at the end of its live-service phase. It would be weird if Gears 5 had more sales lol.

  • K1ll3rXtreme XtremeK1ll3r (@K1ll3rXtreme) reported

    @UnJoueurDur @CoalitionGears AAA cooperative and competitive game experience you really think these guys are not working 98% on Gears 6? lmao tactics its such a waste of time 🤡

  • SierraYonel ¥Ѻ₪Ψїї³³🌹🇵🇷 (@SierraYonel) reported

    @GearsofWar Where’s arcade mode it’s been 1year and you guys @GearsofWar said you we’re gonna fix it 😮‍💨😔

  • TrickyMickMinin Tricky Mick Mining (@TrickyMickMinin) reported

    @OfficialXboxU @CoalitionGears No one will live up to Crash's legacy with the PlayStation.

  • jericon Will Gunty 💙 (@jericon) reported

    @Rennix_ @PezRadar Got it. Sorry. I can’t really help any then. I am one of the people that runs the database servers but this sounds like a game client issue and definitely is not something I can dig into in the database.

  • Ej_Scorpion Edgar Guerrero (@Ej_Scorpion) reported

    @CoalitionGears @CoalitionGears fix Gears UE for Windows please
