@TC_Sera - would you be able to advise if this topic is on the Trello board please? Sorry i cant find the link to the Trello, thanks.
…But no “Inability (PC) to join friends”
You’re the only person I’ve seen report this on the forums.
So I am really the only one!
No more friends displayed in the social tab, and unable to join friends with Xbox applications in Windows (starting a 2nd game instance that does not succeed)
I notified it the day after the update to report bug to Support.GearsofWar.com (request # 46976 )
This was a huge issue for PC players I know over the weekend.

Yes both PC and Xbox players - i was also unable to invite via the XBOX menu ‘Invite to Game’ - though that appears to have settled down now.
What i cant see in the Social Tab is who is in the party and other options such as
-View GamerCard
-Kick Player
the above options appear if you are in the public lobby before loading into a game via the standard UI.
Seeing this bug myself, those that can, please also put a ticket in to narrow down a few things. Getting it investigated asap.

I used GameBar to join games on friday
edit: they seem to be axing support for the old Xbox Companion app, it’s slowly being stripped of functionality. the new one is just called Xbox in the storefront.
I don’t like the new Xbox app:
- Displayed each time Windows starts -> I have disabled automatic start
- Does not display the list of players I have played with recently
- Too intrusive: unwanted ads and too restricted settings
So I don’t use it.
Same for the game bar because I do not want an overlay and I disabled it.
But I have tested and it works for both of these things
This issue affects everyone playing gears 5, its the update that removed the social tab being used to show opposite team in ranked that caused this problem to arise.
I also have an issue where it doesn’t show all the ppl playing gears on my friends list in the social tab, it always just shows 1 person playing gears and the others are shown as just being online.
I also noticed that it now shows ppl as their ally lvl from top to bottom as 15% xp at the top then decreases the further down u go on the social tab, is this a bug or working as intended since latest update?
I see u said its getting investigated asap, i think this should be a high priority bug to get fixed, not just investigated.
I appreciate u reply here quite alot and understand u cant always give us the answers we want but only the answers u can👍
I also understand op5, gears tactics and the new xbox is coming and TC will be busy with that but as ur probably aware every update brings even more problems and i think everyone is starting to get extremely annoyed with these problems that these updates bring.
We’ve recently had, bleed/stun barriers coming n going, broken cards for lizzie/grace, cards unequiping in horde/escape, gnashers bugs and these r only the ones i can remember.
Im sure if TC were to say ok we need to push this update out now but this (insert bug/issue) will be present after the update but will be fixed very soon then im sure TC will get alot less aggro.
Have fun at work, im off to bed😁
