Noticed 3 errors so far.
First, one of the screens says bac not back on it for the press B option.
Second, I have had teammates spawn that just stood and blocked the map, however they were not present in killcams.
The third and most frequent that doesn’t effect gameplay, there is a visible gun underneath training grounds. It’s far below the map and has been there in a majority of my games. It appears directly below where the inside ammo spot.
System: Xbox One X
Picked myself up after getting downed, while running away I got executed???

Man I really thought yall did. Friday night when the servers finally started working and ranked was playable, I played koth nonstop for 6 hours. I though wow this game is super smooth, ALLLLL of my shots were connecting. Finally a gears game without the connection bullshhh, but then on saturday it started getting a lil worse. I thought okay a couple shot eaten, but still wayyyy better than gears 4. But TODAY!!, Dear god this game has been unplayable for me and my friends. Everyone is eating so many shots and bodying me from deep. It’s so frustrating. Of course it gets so much worse when people in the lobby are 100+ ping and my squad and I are always 40 or below. It’s not fair, it’s super annoying and really hope the actual game is a lot better. Try putting ping limits on matches. I should never see an 80 ping person in the lobby if everyone else is 40 or below. I dont care if it takes an extra minute to find a match, I just want the match to be fair.

Pretty good idea tbh. I like it.
what in the literal f*** was that.
-Random locust spotted in friendly base while spawning in to new round while playing escalation.
-Players are either seen stuck in place or moving in a line after being killed.
-Ranked match results are not being counted.
On PC, the “Looking For Group” button at the very bottom of the “Social” friends list menu in-game, currently opens the Xbox App. I was hoping it’d atleast open the Game Bar overlay instead, which is less intrusive, and I can just hit the Xbox Home button to close it, rather than seeing the Taskbar flash and another window pop up in the way the Xbox App opens, and isn’t as easy to close from controller.
Gears 5 Tech Test isn’t available through the Game Bar’s Looking For Group as it is with the Xbox App, I guess it being in Beta there’s a bit of catching up to do. Hopefully, by the time the game releases, it’s changed in-game so it opens Game Bar instead though, otherwise it’ll be really sloppy in look and feel.
100% CPU usage issue: This might partly explain some of the lock-ups and hard resets. Normally, my CPU usage is around 50-60% running Gears 5 by itself. But when I’m running Gears 5 and Google Chrome at the same time, my CPU usage shoots up to 100% and stays there until I close Chrome. My PC just restarted itself while I was playing Arcade and the BIOS told me on reboot the CPU got too hot.
This only happens with Chrome, other apps can be running on my PC fine, including other web browsers. And of course, Chrome by itself has almost no CPU impact at all.
I have an i7-8700K, OS is Windows 10.
Good afternoon
When I installed the Gear 5 technical test, it started to look like I do not have Xbox live, but since I’m playing from PC, I do not need it. When this error occurs, it does not allow me to access the internet.

It seems many issues of GOW4 have carried over.
Other than the hard-lock freezes on Nvidia 10 series cards, there’s many others, but 2 GOW4 issues I’ve just been reminded of that are in Gears 5 Tech Test:
-
When you die and are waiting to respawn, you sometimes see your teammates standing idle at spawn. In reality, I believe they actually haven’t respawned yet either, but they’re character model is shown there anyhow. It was silly it was never addressed throughout GOW4’s lifespan, let alone been allowed to carry over to 5.
-
Any type of frag/smoke/flash still whiffs nonstop when trying to plant on certain objects, especially the floor. It’s so inconsistent, you can try to plant on the floor, it’ll whiff, you’ll be at the same angle and spot and try again and it plants. Again, it should have been taken care of in GOW4, but instead just stays and carries over to 5.
At about 8:30 PM east coast time
Escalation game: after entire other team quit and chose to quit matchmaking nonstop away for a few minutes and the game was still matchmaking. While at main menu for choosing bootcamp or versus said creating lobby.
With the torque bow every once in a while when you go down you can still shoot it
Yea, pretty sad that they haven’t incorporated anything like other competitive games like Overwatch. In Overwatch when someone leaves on your team, a 1 minute timer starts, teammates can’t leave for that first minute, giving time for the player to come back. After the minute is up, teammates can leave with no penalty other than their loss.
If everyone on the team leaves, the game ends and the other team automatically wins. Dunno what’s so hard about this, unless you don’t know what you’re doing as a coder.
Playing on base model Xbox one and have run into these issues in the Gears 5 tech test:
-
Upon respawn, I will sometimes (very rarely) be unable to move my character or swap weapons.
-
Music drops out at the main menu at random.
-
When playing Arcade the character I selected will be replaced with another character I didn’t select.
-
Was kicked out of a match I was halfway through playing and the reason it gave for kicking me was because “The lobby is full”. You’re right. The lobby was full until you kicked me out. I was doing good that match as well.
But overall I’m enjoying the tech test although a few of the gameplay changes made in gears 5 concern me.
I got downed and then revived, but about 2 seconds later an Armoured JD bot came along and Curb Stomped me, even though I was standing. Captured the whole thing, it was pretty funny.

Once map was voted on and selected, got stuck on character screen in KOH.
Hello ! So I am running a i7-7700k and GTX 1070. I keep encountering crashes and PC freezes (about once every 3-5 games). Now, I did have this problem in Gears Of War 4 but I could just close the game and relaunch it. This locks up my whole system. Other than this big issue the game runs a smooth 144fps on my system and feels fantastic !! Is there going to an official fix to this or no ? Can’t wait for launch day.

A few times at the post match screen nothing would display and it would give the message “Error retrieving match results” or something to that effect. Unfortunately this happened at my last victory for the Tester Gnasher medal. I’ve got the medal but no Tester Gnasher.
