I am on Xbox one x and have gotten this same error message all weekend and haven’t gotten to play I can do boot camp as much as I want but that’s not fun.
Seems to be an issue with certain accounts. I was getting the same error through the whole weekend, then I made a second account and I was able to join games just fine, so I recommend doing the same.
Hopefully The Coalition will fix it before the second run 
Yea I figured that part out when I signed into my friends account on my Xbox let’s me play no problem it’s just annoying that I can’t play on mine and my worry is will I be able to play on my actual account once the full game comes out.
While waiting to get into a game where you can change your skins. I selected the test skins for the lancer and gnasher.
On trying to then select the test skin for the snub, it ended up showing a mini lancer in its place on the screen where you select the weapon you want to change. I then spawned into the game without a snub. This happened a couple of times after I tried it twice.
Yup. I used that alot and now it just feels clunky and broken not being able to do it.
- If you rolling just before the cover and holding A button to take a cover, nothing is going on. To take a cover you need to push A ones more.
- Yesterday there was a situation, where one of my popshots hit the ground, but i was sure that my gnasher was in another direction at that moment.
I am on Xbox one x
I use Xbox elite controller
I use alt controls where rodie run is x button
I have back right buttons both for getting on the cover
And the back left buttons both for rodie running and jumping
The glitch or bug I experienced was one where you are rodie running and slide to get on cover and pull off but when you pull off your stuck in rodie run and have to take cover or jump to get out of it
Weather I was actually trying to take cover
You just keep running along the wall
Or
Slide to the corner of the cover to run forward and shoot
Once you hit the corner and ran forward you get stuck in rodie run
Or
Just trying to wall bounce
When coming out of the bounce you get stuck in rodie run
Sometimes reloading takes too long or not working. When you roadie run and hit reload, it does not work sometimes. Not sure if this is a thing but you cannot reload in tac coms either. New omen seems to get in the way of the match and view.
Have a nice day!
My final thoughts after the first weekend of the tech test.
-
The game overall feels clunky and not at all what i thought it would be. Not being able to hip fire after jumping over cover makes the game feel broken.
-
It takes too long to reload and what is up with actives on the gnasher only reloading 3 shots? Got me killed countless times.
-
Dbno is completely broken. You can’t move most of the time or it moves you in the opposite direction.
-
Several times got killed by an invisible enemy.
-
You should be able to set whether you spawn with a smoke or flash pregame. If you forget to do it at the beginning of the game alot of times you can’t change it in time before you respawn because of the killcam, even if you skip it. I saw there is an empty space pregame so hopefully this will be in the final game.
-
Alternate control scheme - Up a’ing alot of times will keep your character roadie running and you can’t get out of the animation. Other times the character will just stand there when holding X.
-
Killcam shows characters running into walls.
-
Walls are stickier than ever. Huge disappointment!
-
I’m not even sure when the gnasher is actually going to fire. It feels completely unintuitive. Takes even longer to shoot out of roadie run, or so it seemed. Takes way too long to shoot after jumping cover. Other random times when hitting RT with the gnasher it doesn’t fire.
Overall it was kind of fun, but it was not at all how i expected it to be. The gears 4 mechanics were great i don’t understand straying so far away from them. I expected the game to be a smoother version of competitive 2.8. Boy was i wrong! It felt more like gears 1 mixed with gears 4 and judgement mechanics.
With all the bugs in this tech test i don’t see how they’re all getting fixed by September 6th.
For cover to fire, I was side stepping a wall to shoot an enemy, as I stepped out far enough to see him I started shooting and the bullets were hitting the wall that was next to me even though I could clearly see my target.
I’ll add the videos when the upload but 2 big things I came across was
1 - party got dissolved but stayed in matchmaking it would keep saying failed to join game and then return to the matchmaking but if I tried to quit it would tell me I would get a penalty
2 - there were a few times I tried to pull out smoke/flash grenades and my character would pull them out but the pull out whatever weapon I was using before hand
I saw this happen multiple times, around the 20 second mark there is a guy most likely glitched below the map…
I’m unable to shoot or aim for a few seconds on PC every once in a while.
Had this bug for the whole tech test, I tried my best to understand what caused it but ultimately I just couldn’t, it seemed completely random to me.
What happens is that out of the blue you just can’t shoot your weapon or aim with it until you perform some sort of action like switching weapon, getting out or into cover or some times even just looking in a different direction.
I have recorded a couple of clips of the issue happening but I’m afraid they won’t help much as you can’t see my input although you should be able to understand that something is off.
In the first one I’m trying to shoot with the Boltok down the hallway but I’m unable to aim or shoot with it, but as soon as I turn the camera to my left I suddenly am able to do it again.
In the second one I’m trying to shoot with the lancer but the same issue is in place and I’m unable to until I re-enter cover or look down, sometimes I can aim but still not shoot. Keep in mind I’m not just holding down the buttons, I’m actively clicking on the mouse buttons trying to solve the problem.
The issue wasn’t related to being into cover, activating the Tac-Com or weapon-specific as it happened with multiple weapons (although I don’t think it ever happened on heavy weapons).
I wish I was able to provide more, I hope this helps anyway.
Don’ t know if anyone else has experienced this but grenades detonated whilst DBNO are very unreliable - https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/nastyy-ininja/video/77402793
Every time you died people would run in one direction.
The game wouldn’t register gnasher shots even though there are burn marks on the guys body.
Firstly I would like to thank The Coalition for creating an amazing game! Most fun I have had on Gears in years!
Bugs:
-
When you get in to the pre-game lobby at the bottom peft you can change your weapons. If you press on the pistol there are two options for the pistol, if you select the second pistol it will glitch and say you have another lancer in that slot, you are unable to change it back once you select the second pistol. When you then load in to the actual match you will only have a lancer ans gnasher. You will have no pistol or smoke through out the game!
-
When dying on King of the Hill, sometimes I would respawn but I would not be able to move what was really annoying! I would be out of the game untill someone killed me.
-
When voting for a weapon on Escalation sometimes it would say there were votes for other weaponw that were not available for that slot. I feel that the voting system needs to be explained too as when it came to voting I thought the whole team would of had to vote but it only seems to be 3 people that can vote? Bery confused about that.
-
I was playing a match and at the end of the round my teammate and a swarm got double downed together and endes the round like that. During the next round it was 5v5 but through the whole round the bodies were still down on the floor together. If you tried to execute them or kick them, nothing would happen. Shooting them would do nothing too! If you would walk over their bodies it would make your character very jolty and go weird!
-
I have noticed when spectating a teammate lancering and then younrespawn the lancering noise will carry over for an extra5 to 10 seconds after you habe respawned!
-
Every time I died the kill cam would come up but before it loads the kill cam everyone will walk in to wallks which is quite annoying!
I hope this information helps.
Thank you!

I think a cult was started during a match. Middle of a fire fight an this was my view…
Ok so you know I really enjoyed the game.
-Now entering with the bug I found a some of them, there being times that I a downed enemy and use him as a human shield, but people are able to shoot through it, when this happens if you see the killcam it appears that the human shield is invisible like it is not there, and that makes to be only using a pistol for no reason.
-The other bug is that if you are behind a barrier or barricade, and if there is something blocking the way and if your gun is kind of going through the obstruction you can shoot through it giving completely unfair advantage to the player since you are going to be able to deal damage even though they are being cover by the obstruction.
In summary apart from that the game seems in a really good state and simply need a few changes that seems necessary.
Hello, these are a few bugs I encountered,
Dead characters still showing alive and moonwalking, or laying down like waiting execution or to be revived.
Characters are quite heavy and rigid, like outside gaming mode, is this correct? on Gears4 when played two player split screen played like that, but not one when playing one player mode.
This is not a bug, but the all red screen takes out the visibility too much, but too much, perhaps lowerit a little, or give options to diminish ot eliminate comletely.
Thanks,
