The two things I encountered were
There were a few matches this happened where I tried to pull out a flash grenade and it never highlights the grenade spot but just kept pulling it out only to pull out the shotgun right after
This one I’m calling the Hotel California bug where you can never leave. Got stuck in this match making loop where it would say Can’t find a match would you like to restart over and over but if I tried to leave it would tell me I would be penalized
Bugs I encountered:
I keep losing game sounds when I play with a headset, the game sound is trying to come through but its scattered “on and off” but its fine when playing via speakers. I need to play with a headset as I’m usually in a party with other players.
Will this work if the game freezes and there’s no BSOD, and you have to hard reset? Or alt-tab into windows? Or will it only generate a dump if it BSOD’s?
EDIT: Also wondering if there is a point to this, since it looks like it’s the same thing that happened with Gears 4 and not addressed in 3 years.
I believe bluescreen only, but I can’t speak on behalf of Nvidia.
Yea, you can see stuff like that in the Event Viewer, but not sure that gives the type of detailed info they need/want from a memory dump.
any1 know what the update on the tech test is for?
Hmm, just opened Windows Store and it’s in the middle of downloading it rigth now. 1.35GB on PC, it’s updating the Xbox Companion App at the same time also.
That’s unfortunate. I’ve only had total freezes (where other background apps are clearly working, as for instance, I can still talk to my friends on the Xbox app for as long as I want until a hard reset).
My game either:
A. Locks up (freeze) and I’m unable to ALT+TAB out, but all the background apps are running (as above)
B. GW502 freeze, where I’m able to ALT-TAB.
Usually if it freezes in the loading/intro screen it’s ALT-TABable, or GW502.
No BSOD so far, so no idea how that would help them.
Hopefully the new patch for the tech test will eliminate or reduce those for you. If you don’t have the update please manually update via the Windows store.
All good to go man. Just waiting for the imminent disappointment tomorrow lol
Any plan on fixing certain GOW4 bugs/issues that carried over so far? Like these 2:
Frag planting on the floor whiffs constantly, though you’re seemingly aiming straight down, and at the same spot as when it finally does plant.
Waiting to respawn, you’ll see your character or teammates idle at spawn, though you’re all actually waiting to respawn. It’s very annoying, always being fooled into thinking my teammates have gone idle, when really it seems you’re just prespawning their characters. If it’s to avoid hickups, atleast make them invisible until they actually respawn.
(Gears 5 Tech Test specific issue) When you hit the “Menu” button in a Social lobby, it just shows the main menu. In GOW4 it would show you the avatars/gamertags of all players in the lobby also. This was useful in GOW4 if you entered what looked like a scarcely populated lobby going by who was in-game on the scoreboard, and wanted to see if others were in the lobby waiting to spawn in. In Gears 5 Tech Test, you just have to guess, so just hoping this doesn’t carry over to full release, otherwise it seems like another downgrade in accessibility.
(Gears 5 Tech Test specific issue) Weapon and Mark customization is separate from other customizations that are all found under each character’s customization. So, when you pick a new Mark or a Weapon skin, they are equipped universally for every character you choose, and every faction, (COG/Swarm).
So, just hoping it doesn’t carry over to the game in this manner, otherwise it’d be a full downgrade from GOW4, where you set COG/Swarm/Horde character/weapon skins separately. You could just place Weapon and Mark customizations within the current character customization setup, that’d fix it.
Though it’d be nice to go the extra mile and also add custom slots where we set everything so we can have different customizations for the same character types. On the old forums I was asking for and hoping this could have been added in GOW4. Just click “Add custom slot”, set character skin, banner, expressions, weapons/executions/bloodsprays, mark, then save a name for the custom slot.
Same Stupid problem, this update did not make a difference, game still crashes as soon I start it up. Running Latest Nvidia drivers on a 2080.
Shouldnt crash on a 2080. Im running a 2060 with no problems.
Its the 10 series that has the problem.
Well try to help me? because I have yet to run the game one timer since last week.
Is there an error code coming up?
