This game is currently a laggy unplayable mess (TC please acknowledge this)

I don’t know about anyone else but this sort of stuff has been happening since the games launch. I think it really depends on where you are for you to really get a solid experience. I am in the EU and no matter what I go into I get nothing but lag and it doesn’t matter what my ping says cause it can say 20 or 30 and still im behind by a few seconds. I was playing Free for All earlier on and was doing ok until the game turned against me and suddenly I was dying when no shots were fired, point blank shots meant nothing and had to dodge and keep firing until I got a dbno, firing the gnasher 1st and reloading first only to be killed while the player should be still reloading and the classic running around a corner only to be brought back to where I came from lol. Thats just one example but in all serioiusness the VS experience has not gotten any better.

PVE is the same with lag and disconnects and for some reason in Horde when I am playing engineer and pick up the fab and start to move it I get disconnected but if I let someone else place it I am fine? Dunno if its a bug or the game just trying to get on my nerves.

This weekend was a complete mess on my end (UK)…

Went from Onyx 2 to Gold 3 cos I had a poor run of games thru no fault of my own. Getting kicked from games (then getting quit penalty - GP points reduction- even tho I cant rejoin), heavy lag… I’m talking ping going from 20 all the way to 1000+ which then results in bad personal performances and a string of losses. Connection speed checks suggest all should be fine but before seeing this post I thought it was just me.

Add to that a weekend full of the most wtf gnasher inconsistencies and loooong wait times to find games during peak hours in ranked KOTH, problems with spotting, bugs galore (dead players still visible runnin into walls, weapons still appearing even tho they’ve been picked up, even weapon overlays UNDER maps etc), gettin stomped by constant 5 stax as a solo que player, playing nothing but Checkout & BloodDrive (having already played them to death in Gears 4) and yeh… Op 4 is a shambles for me.

Have fun everyone… Ima be back in Op 5 to see if they fixed this mess… for real, I’ve lost patience with this game. Ghosts of Tsushima just dropped so Ima spend my time not gettin stressd the f out… run thru pretty fields and samurai cut n sh*t

So here’s the thing. Ever since Gears 1 you’ve been getting stuck on the wall.
Gears 3 wasn’t that bad when it came to it. But on Gears 5 it’s gotten worst. THE MORE YOU WALL BOUNCE THE MORE YOU can get stuck on the Fken Wall. I’ve seen it happen while I’m in game. It’s
Pre Season so your Ranked matches don’t count. Save your anger for the season

Big time here on #4,that is really frustrating!

Hi, I have the same laggy lobby’s Gnasher and Lancer not registered the shot’s one Team is in God mode and we can nothing do, this Game is only frustrating!

Do the ranked matches really count anyway? With no REAL LEADERBOARDS?

Just wanted to jump in here and say i am experiences many of the same issues!

I am constantly getting stuck on walls and corners! I am rolling a lot now too (presumably because of the sticky walls). Op 3’s game-play felt smoother in general.

I also am experiences harsh frame drops on PC. Almost everyone i know on PC is getting 40-60 frame drops post Op3

Surely a hot fix is coming for these things Coalition???

So many disconnections, even with a 20 - 30 ping. The worst thing is the time you get as sanction for a server problem. sigh

Why not delet POST BUTTEN HERE!!!

Completely agree with all 4 points above. I definitely had a bit of a honeymoon phase with op 4, have been playing for the first time in 6 months or so and many things are vastly improved, but it’s still a very frustrating experience online for me at the moment. I would just add to those 4 points that movement is still too slow in my opinion i.e. wall sliding speeds, which combined with the other points raised here is no fun at all.

I got you. I should have made clearer that I was referring to both modes. Versus is has slightly more latency but otherwise seems like the PvE. That being said I did get stuck on cover a couple of times tonight, which is something I hadn’t encountered prior to my last post. It was almost like an input delay issue. Given that is a super rare occurrence, it hasn’t frustrated me, but if it was occurring every match it most definitely would: I’m not sure I ever had this happen prior to OP4, but I can’t say for sure…

Yeh shotgun seems to be getting worse by the day but that could be my patience vanishing

Pretty much exactly what I felt at the start of Op 3 as well but this time it’s also happening way more frequent in normal ping games.

I’m also getting a weird bug where my roadie run stops working all together.

I like all the new stuff/modes being added to gears 5 but I really don’t like the update culture that keeps breaking the game .

I noticed the same old “weapon reloads when you pull the trigger” junk going on. also, now when I try to chainsaw, it goes into that “missed the active reload” animation where you get angry at your gun. In addition, I’ve noticed the shotgun is still really bad. Near point blank shots do nothing.

Just to concur multiplayer is laggy and I’m sticking WAY too much, UK based. I am enjoying aspects of 5 without a doubt but tonight as most nights my “Gears” time will be spent on 3 and 4.

It’s the gib range and It’s a gamble a lot of the time with connections.
