Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Win 10 |OT| Down But Not Out

/sigh still can't download and nothing from Microsoft or the Coalition guy since getting a PM from him to send my logs to Microsoft for the store.

Awesome store Microsoft.

Awesome store Microsoft.

We are working on it. It appears to be an issue affecting a few people. Sorry for the lack of response earlier. I'm running around to many places trying to help out a few people.

As I stated in my PM to you I appreciate you reaching out to help since it's not always done. I am more upset with Microsoft forcing their terrible store on us.
 
The language in the store doesn't match my region:

Double check your locale in W10: Settings > Time and Language > Region and Language > Country or region

If that's not the case, then I have no idea. I'll admit, kind of a messy launch.
 
Using a mouse feels awful, I think its the acceleration and no way to turn it off?

Cannot find any online games.

Here I was hoping they would do it right this time after releasing the original gears for games for windows live but this is even worse.
 
• Cross-play between XBOX ONE and PC/Win 10 is currently not supported.
• Cross-buy between XBOX ONE and PC/Win 10 is currently not supported.

Why no crossbuy? Even Quantum Break has it.

Part of me was also hoping that the reason why Windows Store was so limited was an attempt to prevent cheating in order to support crossplay, but to see that they're just limited for the sake of being limited is disappointing. This game won't have a community on PC with such a restricted version

Quantum Break doesn't have cross buy either, its just a preorder bonus and limited to digital to boot. So much for the "unified platform" while not allowing cross buy or cross play

No crossbuy :c

I'm disappointed. Not buying it again.
 
Crossbuy of paid titles on Windows 10/Xbox is not actually a platform feature yet. Quantum Break is a promotion, users will get a code for the Windows version.

What is a platform feature right now is cross buy of game add ons, which is why they've announced that F2P titles such as Killer Instinct, Fable Legends, and Gigantic are all crossbuy (Disney Infinity 3.0 is a good example of a game already out on the Windows Store that uses this).

That said, Phil has said that true crossbuy of titles will become a platform feature. (I would hazard a guess/hope for this summer, when the next major Windows Update hits, "Redstone 1")
 
Is anyone getting a 6.9gb download? My download was at 47gb but not it show's 6.9

That's a bug for which a fix was just released a couple hours ago. It's just a visual glitch, your download is fine, but you can still get the fix if you want now from Windows Update.
 
For those with the download problems... If you can run wscollect and email win10store at microsoft dot com with your log files (saved on your desktop) it will greatly help the Windows Store team troubleshoot.


Thanks!

Would addons carry over from Gears of War XB1?
 
If it's like XB1, you may need to open these ports:

http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/networking/network-ports-used-xbox-live

Can anyone try this, and report back? I'd like to add the port information to the OP if relevant. (Can't test it myself yet, still about 12 GB to go.)

Unless I'm port forwarding wrong, it doesn't seem to be working for me.

I actually managed to get connected to a lobby once with two other people in it, but then the game froze.

You guys are doing a great job!

Everything works flawless for me and im happy with your work this far.
Good luck with all the salt and troubleshooting!

Updated, still not fixed and now it's not even downloading. I feel sorry for the devs as this is purely MS fault.
 
The game isn't an exe so you can't force it from what I've read.

You can't create a profile for it and set AF in it to whatever you want. But you should be still able to force it globally since the game is still working through DX11/driver. Let me check this right away.

Awesome news that it can be forced.

Still, should be available natively. :)
 
Okay so tested G-Sync, it does work in gameplay as intended, but it slows the cutscenes and loading screens down to what appears to be single digital framerate. With the loading screens it actually seems to slow down loading too.

Quite annoying, but it's not a lost cause, it seems fixable (since G-Sync can operate just fine in gameplay).

Beautiful, thanks. So you just have to turn 'lock framerate' off and you're good to go?

Wait, if it slows loading, wouldn't this screw with PvP?

I turned off lock framerate - but haven't tested it with other settings yet. I really should emphasise though that the loading times do seem severely impacted by it, it seems to be about 2-4 minutes to load the campaign.

Wait, if it slows loading, wouldn't this screw with PvP?

Yep - it very well could - haven't tested it yet, not sure if I will be able to get around to it tonight.

Yes, definitely not these ports. I have these ports open now, and I'm stuck with a moderate NAT. We will need some clarification on this from MS.
 
I tried single player after doing the benchmark averaging 50 fps maxed out (fx 6350 and gtx780) and the game does not run all that well for me. It's stuttering and has constant dips.

I kinda have a feeling that there is some not-so-bad AF - 4x to 16x, hard to spot in the beginning of campaign really - applied if you bump the texture quality manually to "Highest". Note that if you choose High preset then you get High texture quality. Highest option isn't included in the top quality preset it seems.

Anyway, a screenshot on High preset + Highest textures:
