Gears 5 Tech Test - Official Feedback Thread

Would be nice. TC is trying to make it noob friendly.

There should be a noob yes/no checkbox.

Nice to be playing it again, but wow it’s laggy/spongey at the moment.

Two issues -

Gnasher- Where’s the weighting? your using a close range shotgun, theres no feedback both in th
terms of conroller and game. its as if your just running round with a stick going bang bang bang

Hit registering - been standing next to an enemy point balck with the Gnasher and hits dont register! … That bad i had to melee them down to get the kill

Gnashers and sponging will cost you dear !

Flash nades could be a pick up weapon as ink nades where. The spam hurst my vision terribly. Don’t know if any one else has this problem.

I’m ok with the stun an stuff, the effect is harsh for the vision of the player.

eg: won’t say this is the best example just less invasive, I still would expect less bright or for less time. I get the objective is to blind you, but I didn’t expect the game to blind me literally (just my character) , specially when they spam it since anyone can have it as default.

Cheers

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but it literally just happened to me.

Ranks seem more stable but still broke. I placed onyx 3 and went down on an mvp game in which I destroyed the enemy team. The fluctuations are a little ridiculous.

Tweaks what tweaks the game is still a disaster! TC you seriously don’t get it. Played 5 rounds of the 2nd phase of the tech and Match Making is still a mess. I’m constantly getting stuck with high pingers. How about this instead of making new systems why don’t you do what every other game does if you have high ping then you are at a disadvantage. The RB for the chainsaw is a joke it’s still delayed and should be put back where it has always been B button! The omen as listed 1 million times is terrible. Sorry if your feeling are hurt by the community but may be if you listened the game would have 99% less problems. Crawling still messes up. When you’re crawling when you pull back the characters should be going backwards not forward. This was an issue in the first phase last week as well. The game as any will never be perfect but 2.5 years and still the same issues. There’s one common denominator here and it’s @the-coalition .

Have you guys/gals considered the ability to give a player more respawns in Escalation as a possible option instead of weapons?

Did any one on the other team quit by any chance??? A friend and I noticed last week your rank takes a major dip if someone quits

Don’t know what you guys have changed but the game play is unplayable with lag, game stalling, no registered kills!!! Don’t know what you’ve done but it’s for the worse on an extreme level!!! Unplayable in it’s form at the moment!!!

No problems here on Xbox one X. Game actually is running smoother for me.

KOTH or at least kills are definitely easier. First game 24 captures and 62 kills. MVP best in mind I’m very average in deed.

Just played several games in the 2nd tech test. A few of my observations:

Pros:

  • Wall bouncing feels way better than last weekend
  • Weapon damage feels better (not sure if that was tweaked)

PC Issues:

  • Still having some navigating issues in lobby and other screens
  • Able to apply scroll up/down as key binds but they do NOT work
  • Roadie run randomly glitches and locks into a roadie run
  • Roadie run seems to have a delay when initiating it
  • Unable to move during re spawn (happened 2x/5 games)
  • Unable to use microphone in game. Add the option to select your mic in game? Majority of PC games have this feature. Also, I have assigned my microphone as the standard input device for GOW5 in audio settings and does not work. GOW4 still has this communications issue with PC players; works sometimes then doesn’t.

I hope this feedback aligns with others in hopes for fixes and make for a good launch in the near future.

KOTH very laggy, UK .
Also just an observation but are you guys finding ranked to be considerably easier on 5 than 4 ?

I’m a very average player, sometimes worse than that but I’m getting kills in the 40-60 range in 90% of matches and good numbers or captures.

Yes a mate has had it happen on same map several times with JD last weekend.

Why is the blood Omen so bad! I can’t take it. Seems like it takes up the entire screen.
Very disappointed

I gave the tech test another go. Another hour or so of arcade, and the same on ranked.
I’m actually disliking it more with each game.
God I hope people don’t stop playing 4 when this one is fully released :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:

I like the changes from gow4 to gow5… I like gears 4 but you have to make changes so people wont get board of the same thing. I like to learn to adapt to a game I have loved sense 2006 whenever there is a new release. I personally am having tech issues on PC. I have a ryzen 7 1700 with Msi 980 Ti 6gb of video ram. I keep getting the 502 error almost ever game when graphic settings are on ultra. If turn down to medium settings and fps cap at 90 it only happens every other match but that still a lot. 502 error apparently means something about gpu stop talking to operating system??? Why is this game the only game to do that to me? I don’t want to have these problems when the game launches.

Thanks !

There will probably be a great amount of people playing 4 even after the release of 5. I, for one, am not a fan of 5 so far. The real question is will TC still put out updates for 4 after the release of 5.
