I’ve gotten that too but never get ping spikes to go along with it. No doubt there’s an issue there.

A hotspot isn’t reliable either. I’d be curious to know if this happens on a hardwire. Is it possible to get an Ethernet to the PC or Xbox?

I’m admittedly unsure. I suppose I could give it a try. I’m just tired of having so many problems with this game. I quit shortly after release until the end of op 3, and I’m close to just quitting again because of these connectivity issues. I’m spending as much time trying to make the game work as I am actually playing the game.

I feel ur pain back in op2 i had to Uninstall and reinstall the game like 3xs in one month cause it wouldn’t connect i tried contacting support but it took a solid month before i had a reply
It’s frustrating I’m even considering quitting this game for Connectivity issues, and not because the games bad. I truly love the games PvE side in it’s current state. I can’t get enough of it. Problem is that I can’t even play it. It’s a shame really.

They need to address these things before they loose even more long time players
I really hope they do something. I want to keep playing this game. But I’m not going to if things don’t improve by the beginning of op 5. Fingers crossed.

I think this has been an issue since before the update. It was happening to me quite a bit a few weeks back, admittedly it did go away for a bit and then yesterday I had it really bad during a ranked match. There’s a thread on here from a few weeks back anyways where packet loss issues were discussed and TC Sera got involved to some degree.

Do u know the link by chance? Or if they said there will be an update?
There’s your problem right there. Wifi connections are largely unstable. They can be affected by so many things at any time. Its usable for sure but does not meet the consistency of a wired connection.

This is what I was referencing. Not all that relevant tbh, sorry it was a month ago. It looks like TC Sera gave an official response as to what the symbols were, but didn’t comment on any uptick in their presence. Probably your best bet if you think the update has done anything to your connection is to submit a ticket.

I would but last time when i couldn’t even play online it took a month i cant imagine how long this complaint would take them to respond
Yeah, usually they don’t respond to tickets at all unless they need to so I wouldn’t hold out hope of that haha. If it keeps happening to me I’ll submit one, it was a joke in the ranked match yesterday but could have just been an isolated incident.
It is so pleasing to read (Well it’s not of course) this, it validates what I keep banging on about.
I have the identical issue and have had since before the update. What is it about Gears. It would be the one game/series I care passionately about.
I play a fair amount of Titanfall 1 (brilliant game) and have almost zero issues be it wired or WiFi, but Gears is a shitshow most of the time.
It goes so far as Gears 4, where I am at an almost constant 150+ ping (in Gears, 4 at least, this is not an advantage)
In UE, I categorically can not play it over WiFi. I will get thrown out of a game every single time. 
So bloody frustrating, as a very average player I need all the help I can get, not obstructions to my gameplay.

Dude I’m literally only doing 20% each shot and I’ll get 1 shot. Before that it rarely happened but since the update it happens every game. I’m a longtime player and I’m sad to say they’re ruining the game and I’m really considering quitting it’s so bad.

Does anyone know how to tag a dev?
I took a mini break.
Maybe we’ll hash things out once the update is at full capacity…
Same issues here but the thing is like during beta play test it was like issue free but the update seem to really mess up things
Seems fine to me. Obviously, the gnasher tuning is different but I was expecting this as explained in the developer streams. I really think they should explain things in-game when they make changes, remove game modes, etc. Just a very quick explanation with a link for more info. Would probably help plenty of players that don’t listen to streams and other Gears media.
