Got on earlier perfectly fine 5 mins waiting time. Had a couple of matches. Feels just like judgement. Clunky, slow and off. Ate some food and got booted. Now estimated 3 hours… thing hasn’t changed in over 20 mins.
Hoping things pick up because I skipped judgement after a hand full matches.
Yea, it’s been stuck at 2H 16M now for like an hour, gonna just close it in a few minutes if it doesn’t change. It’s not like it even matters, it’ll probably hard-freeze on me in a matter of minutes again whenever I finally do get in. 
this is what worries me about this game, its looks a rushed copy & paste job
They def copy-pasted the freezing issues on PC. I already got people telling me to go back to driver version 382.53, which is 2+ years old now. Sad situation.
The game pass curse continues.
Once you get in, the game play is actually pretty smooth and fun.
I wasn’t able to get into KOTH or Escalation, only arcade mode. Arcade mode keeps rolling from one match to the next, so stay in if you’re in!

Speak for yourself! I’ve had pockets of bad lag in the game, and have had to wait ages (20-30 minutes) to get a game through matchmaking. 
Oh don’t get me wrong, I had to wait then kept getting “failed to join match”.
I decided to try arcade, which kept rolling from match to match, so I got a good hour session in. (then it booted me)
My shadowplay has been making screenshots look like that in gears 4 and in the tech test and for forza horizon 4 the colors are all like inverted for some reason…I dunno whats up with shadowplay

Played a few arcades. Same lag dying behind a wall taller than me bullets still co.ing through. Few new guns and maps for the same mechanical and tech issues as 4. You think they would have prepped for this. Nope. Canceled pre order today. Ready for modern warfare.
Kind of overreactive to cancel the pre-order be ause tech test didn’t work out from the beginning, a tech test that is going to be online for 2 more days.
It’s plays like judgment. Has the feels of it. Didn’t think I would say this ,but I rather play 4. I do like how the smoke bursts instantly.

Well have to wait and see. So far, I haven’t encountered the Gears 4 problems (hits not detecting etc.)
Arcade is the only mode that has increased cooldown on bounces, given the mode itself is a separate experience (Heroes have abilities, loadouts, weapon upgrades etc).
We’re continuing to work on these issues. Please see this thread for updates: Gears 5 Tech Test - Status Update
