Hi @TC_Octus
I keep getting “your other device is taking a long time to sync to the cloud” on PC i have used the search function on the forums but can not find any info on this.
Is this a known bug?

An old Gears of War 4 mic bug, where your mic is set to off in a squad. Going into the menu and turning Push-to-Talk off and on and exiting the menu fixes it, just as in GOW4.

Don’t know if it’s been noted yet. But if you press shift right before the round ends, then the overlay will stay and you can do nothing about it at that point anymore.
So you can’t see the mvp screen because the overlay is there. This can be quite annoying.
Sometimes automatically switching to lancer from Gnasher, and no my controller is fine.
I changed the difficulty to Insane and on the (pointless) tutorial, the part where Dave tries to down you I got killed and had to start over.

Why are there bots in ranked KOTH when they are actually doing really NOTHING!
Every 2ish mins while queuing, there’s a sound which is like when you find a game. So it just baits us to tab back into the game.
When your character goes DBNO state, the character drops forward but as soon as it touches the ground, it teleports to its orignal position. i have few instances where i was DBNO and i dropped in cover but then it teleported me out of cover.

The Bad (excluding the obvious points of stressing the servers)
- Slow horizontal turning when roadie running
- Omnidirectional roll being finiky and not well responsive when in cover
- When throwing a grenade at an edge you can step down from, the throwing animation has to end before your chatacter steps down
- Gnasher having fewer shells than in Gears 4
- When in DBNO you character spasms when touching a wall and trying to crawl away
- Holding B (xbox) to execute takes to long for the execution to start (speed up how fast the bar fills so you don’t have to hold it as long
- Having the Chainsaw rev/Retro Charge be the RB button absolutely is the worst button placement for it. I have died to many times by pressing and Holding RB to only have my character reload instead. (Have ot like judgement where holding the B button for a second revs the Chainsaw)
- Certain weapon reticles are way to small and don’t feel quite right such as the Longshot, Boltok, Snub. And can use an option to change certain reticles to Gears 4 style
- Snub pistol cant fire as fast as before and seems to have way less damage
The Good (or things I don’t have an issue with)
- Inverse Omen when taking damage
- Lancer Damage
- Marksa damage
- Hanmerburst damage
- Grenade explosion raduis
- Having the B button use a quick melee with the Lancer
- Ammo box refills grenade
- Ammo box refills Swarm melee weapon
- Heavy weapons can be vaulted up with
- Heavy weapons can be aimed without setting on ground
Overall Im loving Gears 5 so far both from the customizations to gameplay.
I would only fix the issue I posted above but other than that leave game play as it is. Most weapons are fun, deal a good amount of damage. The Lancer doing the damage that its doing now is perfect because now its not a Shotgun and power weapon only multiplayer, people are mixing things up again like gears 3 with the sawdoff.
Hopefully it can be added again.

Same problem here, since last week !
Just gone on it tonight and in my second game on arcade death match on xbox, the game started and my controller wouldn’t stop vibrating I turned the controller off and I tried a different controller and it also started vibrating. But the vibration stopped when I pressed quit game.
What parts of the customizations are you loving in this Gears 5 tech test? The 1 skin and banner? Haha
Still having trouble with game sound using my wireless headset. Have set it to 48khz still choppy & stuttering. Have had to go back to my old wired headset “works fine” 
Please fix the running bug on alternate. This is so game breaking.

GoW4 type Hard PC Freeze
last weekend was smooth as silk, other than the issue of games not being recorded.
this weekend i can not play 3 rounds in a row without the game freezing my entire PC and requiring a hard restart of the pc. the sound i hear at the time of freeze plays on, i cant alt tab, i cant ctrl alt del. nothing happens by pressing windows key, i have to cut power.
I run an i7 8700k, 1080TI, 500GB SSD, latest nvidia drivers

Loadout Change Bug - Console
-A bug I’ve been experiencing has to do with choosing loadout for KOTH. It allows me to modify it while in the loading screen but once in a game I am not able to switch which slot is assigned to gnasher and which slot is assigned to lancer. The snub/grenade modification works fine.
-While in loading screen the side the weapon is on does not match up with what ends up in game (i.e. left slot in loading screen is right slot in-game and vice versa)
-Additionally, in game it will sometimes display wrong in the change loadout menu and show the name “lancer” for multiple slots
Haven’t seen this reported yet.
On PC, I am having massive framerate dips (sub-10fps) at times when turning on Bluetooth to connect my xbox one controller. The FPS lag can be seen from the menu and during a match. I am forced to turn off bluetooth and it returns to its typical 90fps.
I cannot pin down exactly when it happens as it has happened randomly. I saw the issue as I turned on Bluetooth while already in-game, could not fix it by restarting the game, or by restarting my PC. Randomly started working again, although I am unsure if any troubleshooting I did was responsible for the fix. I am running an RTX 2070, Ryzen 2700x.
Pros: I have been practicing kb+m.

PC, GTX 1060, Ryzen 5 6 core, 16gb RAM: Last weekend I was getting silky smooth 60+ FPS with no drops whatsoever on the recommended settings and the textures looked amazing. Since the update, I’m getting sub 20fps with extremely short and sporadic spikes up to 60+fps and the textures look muddy, even on the same recommended settings. I haven’t made any changes to my settings or even played any other games since. Made sure I had no other programs running. I tried updating my driver with no improvement. Also tried lowering the quality but it did nothing to help the frame rate. Whatever this update was, my PC no longer gets along with this game.
