Hey all,
Same as Gears 4 PC, Gears 5 still runing well, with 382.53 driver for pascal generation.
So please The Coalition, ask to NVIDIA and Epic to see what happened, many game are release with the your Engine, and they are not crashing !
You have to find out.
Just click on TC_Octus’s name, right there in your reply to him, and you’ll see a “Message” icon you can click on.
Yep, I’ve been having my game freeze up just like it did in GoW4. The only difference is now the freeze is accompanied by a GW502 error message.
i7-3770
8GB ram
GTX 980 Ti, on the latest 431.36 drivers
and the game is installed on a brand new SSD.

When I get the GW502 “The video card stopped responding” crash it isn’t the same as the freeze, it crashes with the error, and the game closes when I hit “OK”. The freeze never gives an error, just the BSOD screen eventually if I don’t hold the power button immediately after.

Based on my title I’m sure the general fix is to either downgrade drivers which is very unacceptable for a game that is releasing ON PC and it still exists within the gears 5 tech test.
Luckily for me, I had my 980 ti laying around and I was able to downgrade without spending over 200 bucks to play this game.
I am posting this to bring more attention to this issue as everyone isn’t just playing on the xbox one.

Game is unplayable for me sitting in the lobby or during the game it just crashes, latest drivers. Specs: i5-7600k, GTX 1060 6GB (Latest drivers), 16GB RAM 3200mhz, installed on SDD.
It’s so unfortunate that the same problem exists. I played 2 KOTH games and Gears 5 froze both times before the game could even be finished. I had the same error pop up on my screen as others have stated. I really loved the smoothness of the versus gameplay, but seems I’m going to cancel this pre-order and let the pockets hurt to get the message across.
Specs:
i7 8700k
EVGA GTX 1080 ftw
16gb ram

My game froze too in score summary screen, didn’t BSOD though, just CTD with GOW502.
Ryzen 73700x
1070ti
geforce 430.39 (one of the semi-stable drivers for GOW4)
I still get random game freezes in GOW4 though, usually in the lobby or game start. This is such a failure of development, Whether it’s TC, MS, or Nvidia, I don’t know, but it’s ridiculous when I have 0 problems with any other game Ive tried.
Game froze. Can’t ALT-TAB back to windows. Xbox App (companion app) was still working, as in party chat was still coming through. Had to turn off the PC manually, Same as everyone else with this issue.
Thank you. Every now and then people have a different crash and don’t realise this results in a hard lock.

I never used to crash (ever) on Gears 4. Same card.
Best part is my PC is totally clean. No other game or programs installed. Just windows.
All good. I’ll keep the purchase till launch. If it’s still crashing at launch I’ll file for a refund.
EDIT: Also it seems that if the Asus Strix app is open, it seems to not even get past the intro screens. Freezes in the middle of that. Sometimes it gets through. With the app closed, it has a higher % to get through to the game and allows me to complete a few matches. So far it’s never crashed mid-game except once (out of about 30 matches). Was able to reconnect.

That’s from the Bug Report thread. I usually close Chrome and all other Desktop apps anyways, but it’s just good to know. This is exactly why I say they need better technical devs on the team.
“This is what the Tech Test is for.” isn’t a good enough answer for most these issues, when launch is barely over 6 weeks away, and the game has to be finalized much sooner than that, to have physical copies made in time to ship to retailers.
It seems that though they want to collect other info along with it, the major reason for the Tech Test is for collecting data on the servers, wait times, server disconnects and generally how the servers handle the server load. The majority of the most serious issues have nothing to do with that, beyond the first few hours on day 1 of the Tech Test.

Are there any issues usingthe 20 series cards?
I have had the GW502 issue a couple of times, and a couple of hard locks during bootcamp. That was pushing my OC to a fairly extreme amount though, so I am not worried too much about those hard locks.
Hmm, I’d try reverting to that driver, it being not too old, but as you say it still crashes with it.
This post makes me think of Quantum Break, how it had issues on the Winstore version and bad performance in DX12.
# Quantum Break PC is better on DirectX 11
When it went to Steam, the DX11 version had huge performance gains on Nvidia cards and better optimization on most machines. DX12 could be a major part of the issue possibly.

Had my first crash today. My computer locked up right when a game of KOTH was about to start. Had to hard reset my PC. Was on older drivers (417.22). Just updated to the newest recommend ones and will do some more testing next weekend.
