Gears of War 4 known issues for Windows 10 and Xbox One

Microsoft Gears of War 4 game is now available for users. Like every new software and game, Gears of War 4 also comes with issues. The company has posted the list of known issues in Gears of War 4 for the Xbox One and Windows 10 PC versions. Microsoft is working on the fix.

Gears of War 4 known issues

BOTH PLATFORMS

CAMPAIGN – ACT 3, CHAPTER 5 – Infinite Loading

An issue has been discovered that can prevent further progress in this Chapter through a specific issue that can happen when the Checkpoint reloads at a specific point in the level (either through dying or selecting Reload Checkpoint from the pause menu).

Workaround: During this chapter, do not build the player-mounted Turret fortification.
If Already Impacted: Restart the Chapter, and do not build the player-mounted Turret fortification.

WINDOWS 10 SPECIFIC 

Store: Download Errors and Download Restarts : We are actively working with the Windows Store team to investigate some instances where users are unable to initiate or finish their download.

Store Error 80070490
If you are encountering this error, the Windows Store team have provided a workaround solution:

  1. Windows+R and type Regedit
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\PackageVolumes
  3. Right click and Modify DefaultVolumeKey to 1
  4. Restart your download

Store Error 803f8007
This indicates your Gears 4 digital license entitlement has been revoked. We detected some Gears 4 Windows 10 keys were obtained illegitimately via our NVIDIA promotion, and these keys have been revoked. If you believe your key was incorrectly revoked, we highly recommend you contact NVIDIA support with proof of purchase to help out with this.

If the listed methods above do not fix your downloads, we would ask you follow the steps below to pass along to the Windows Store team for investigation:

  1. In the Cortana search bar, run wscollect
  2. Upload the .cab file to a download destination, such as OneDrive
  3. PM this account (TC Octus) with a link to your .cab download and details of the issue encountered. Please include any associated error codes.

(Note: For downloads restarting with OS Build 14392.222, please follow the feedback steps found HERE rather than the ones above)

Minimum Spec – Textures do not appear to stream properly
When running the game on a minimum spec 2GB VRAM video card for the first time, textures may not appear to stream properly.

Solution: Restart the game to resolve the issue.

Co-Op: Non-Host player appears to freeze after a Checkpoint-Restart for Host player
If hosting a co-op game with another PC user that has a slow computer, the other user may appear to freeze for a few seconds when restarting checkpoints if the host has vsync disabled.

Workaround: The host can pause the game to avoid this becoming a detriment (reloading into combat, for example).

Potential performance impact if SLI is enabled in the Nvidia Control Panel
Gears of War currently does not support explicit multi-GPU. However, we have found an issue where the single-GPU performance will drop if SLI is enabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel. As a result, please disable SLI prior to playing Gears of War 4 if you have multiple-GPUs. NVIDIA and The Coalition are working on the issue and will inform the community as soon as we have the issue resolved.
