I know others might not agree, but the OST for this game is such a huge let down.
Coming from the big, epic themes of 1, 2 and 3 to 4 is just downright disappointing.

Theres no stand out theme, and unless I somehow missed it, theres no reference at all to any of the previous themes.

In my opinion, they dropped the ball hard by moving away from Jablonsky and going to Djawadi.

I'm loving the game, but the soundtrack is the weakest in the series by a country mile if you dont include Judgement.

Yes, leave it, it's rebuilding folders in the background (for some reason).

Mine is doing the same... this can't be real right? Shit took me 7hrs to download on my slow ass internet.

 

[BlindSwordsmanZ]

Game keeps crashing on X1 after the update. Fuck

 

[jfoul]

Okay, that explains why it hangs when you pause it.

 

[Hale_C]

It took my PC about 20 mins to finish the process. Just leave it to do its (stupid, inefficient) thing.

Did it actually download the entire game again, or do you think it is it a glitch where it just shows that while it downloads the patch?

It doesnt i believe, Just a UI bug.

In your WindowsApps folder, do you see a folder called 'Microsoft.SpartaUWP_9.2.0.2_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe' as well as another folder similarly named 9.2.0.1 or something? It may just be the UI fucking with you. Or it may be redownloading the whole thing.

Have they said anything about the Gnasher bug?

What bug?

I don't know, my ping in lol was high so I guess it is downloading something.
And it's still going

 

[Jobbs]

Game is awesome, guys

 

[kendrid]

I can't even download the patch and I can't play the single player campaign without it even though the game ran fine last night.

The Windows store is truly a mess.

FYI: Mine says downloading 1KB of 2.74 MB.

I saw this in a review today:

"After playing about 8 hours of horde mode, I had just over 3500 coins, which a elite pack costs 4000, so Microsoft has made it so buying these packs seem very tempting, or play for 10 hours for a single pack."

Is it really true that 8 hours of horde isnt enough to buy a single pack? That seems crazy to me.

 

[spermatic cord]

Anyone having an issue with War Journal campaign stats not showing on PC? It says 0 hours played even though I'm on Act 2 and zero enemies killed as well.

 

[il Diavolo]

my copy just arrived, ive got codes for the previous gears games if anybody wants them.

edit: 3 and judgement are gone.

Depends how good you are.

The better the more coins and each 5 levels grant 500 credits so the first pack goes fast and they reduced credits needed now as well as increased payout.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

yeah I can't get into the versus menu to play. Says connecting and then backs out.

 

[Sane_Man]

Trying to play this on PC just reminds me why I put off PC gaming for so long. The game installed fine, I opened it and it said it required an update and took me to the MS store. Every time I try and install the update it fails and I get error '0x80073CF9'. I try and find solutions and there's dozens of them and none of them work :/

 

[NoLongerALurker]

That finish to Act 2 was pretty awesome. On to Act 3 and can finally start shooting some monsters. The DeeBees are alright but I still hope they are just a one game thing. Would be fun to fight along side them.

 

[TheRed]

Man can't connect to versus on PC

 

[Jobbs]

How do you get scrap?

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Did I lose my chance to get the preorder bonusses on PC? I wanted the Ultimate pre-order stuff.. but I lost track of time. Is it stuff I can purchase or earn seperately?

 

[Enordash]

If I pause it the store crashes.

Well that's terrible.

As an update, the rear bar is moving for me even though the numbers aren't changing. I'm just going to let it alone for now.

Check your anti-virus. It must be disabled.

 

[Tecnniqe]

How do you get scrap?

destroy cards/bounties/cosmetics

 

[NoLongerALurker]

How do you get scrap?

Destoryuing cards you don't want or duplicates

 

[TheRed]

As in I need to enable it? I think I do have it disabled at the moment, but it's worked the last 4 days.

 

[kendrid]

I think I found a bug with their update logic. My update now trying to start but after a minute it says error. When I click on error it prompts me to select a drive with 80gb free. I can't select the SSD the game is already installed on because I don't have enough space. If I select another drive it closes and does nothing.

I really think I'm going to need to uninstall it and reinstall, hoping when I install it clean it has the patch applied.

What a mess.

Don't know if this will help, but make sure you've got at least ~80gb free on the drive your game is installed on.

Yeah, you probably will I'm afraid, because it rebuilds a copy of the entire original folder (with the patch applied), then deletes the old one. Because of... reasons?

They are updating the servers for this new patch, should be back up in a while.

 

[GiantBombGamer]

Looks like Amazon is going to miss my release date shipiping for the first time :-(. Guess I'll be talking to customer service when I get home later.

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

Error... See details. 2 seconds later, downloading and repeat...

Ah pc gaming how i havnt missed thee.

Edit.

Stuck on error so clicked to see details. "Something went wrong" yeah no shit lol.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Best patch

 

[louiedog]

Ugh. Stupid Microsoft Store.

I can't update the game because it wants to download the whole thing as a patch, but I don't have 80 GB free on my SSD. I guess it's no different than deleting and redownloading so that part isn't a huge issue. Of course I can't play the game until I update, even single player.

This kind of thing will start becoming a big issue next month when I have a Comcast cap.

 

[WickedLaharl]

So amazon has fucked me. Do the preorder codes come in the box or am i just screwed if i order from somewhere else?

can someone answer my question please?

 

[sammyCYBORG]

It took my PC about 20 mins to finish the process. Just leave it to do its (stupid, inefficient) thing.

Over an hour for me so far with 2gb downloaded.

So much for killing my hype MS.

Sometimes your ammo count doesn't go down with you shoot someone.

 

[MCD]

Kicked from campaign coop twice now.

And now you can't connect to Gears of War servers.

Fuck this shitty patch. Fuck these servers. Fuck the Coalition.

 

[Theorry]

That a server issue and not updating what happened. Not really a Gnasher issue. But still.

Anyone else getting a black screen only after the update?
