    @GearsofWar Any updates for PC performance, since DLC update I'm having a lot of issues with graphics, I used to play at 144 fps 1080p Ultra settings, now I can barely reach 120 fps and like 90000000% of GPU usage. C'mon fix that please!

  • j1991_david DavidJ1991 (@j1991_david) reported

    @CoalitionGears @CraigHarris456 Second day in a row an Xbox game has had server/connection issues. Y’all wanted to charge double for this service?

  • Dustroyss One Chot (@Dustroyss) reported

    @_Xcentrique @GearsofWar A lot of us don’t like it so we are going to complain? How else can we get things changed. And no I’m not going to a different franchise. I have 13 year olds telling me to go to a different game when I was playing gears when they were still swimming in the sack. Fix the game

  • tontonton5280 ants (@tontonton5280) reported

    @RedsoxVenom @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar sure it's a problem for every game tbh

  • Reck13ss_VK Isaiah (@Reck13ss_VK) reported

    @CoalitionGears Please fix your **** servers. I’m so tired of losing ranks because I get booted from ranked matches and when I try to join back the match is over and I get banned. Pisses me off.

  • DushaPacks Packs Dusha (@DushaPacks) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar And if you fix the lancer better? It's a stupid joke the damage

  • Savage6od Emilio Torres 🔥💣 (@Savage6od) reported

    @CoalitionGears I am a very constant player of the game and I cannot play this game because I have too much lag and it disconnects me from the games I honestly do not know what happens because I play other games like halo or rocket league and this does not happen that frustration

  • SimpleDude2730 Danny S.G. (@SimpleDude2730) reported

    @CoalitionGears Maybe if you fix the game instead of pointless options that won’t do anything to better the experience 🙃

  • shriramnarayan Shriram (@shriramnarayan) reported

    @CoalitionGears There’s so much lag in private matches. Spoils the whole experience. Has become very frequent for a week or two now.

    @MrMarston7 @HybridExcess @GearsofWar Why are you apologising... It should be the other way around for him jumping to conclusions when you're trying to simply address a big problem in gears.

  • MisprintGaming Misprint Gaming (@MisprintGaming) reported

    @GearsofWar You pushed this update JUST as soon as my previous update went Ready To Start. All this is in service of saying thanks for supporting the game.

    @CoalitionGears also, as a side effect of this glitch, I apparently cannot spell the word weird correctly when typing out rants to random people on the instatwitters.
