The Coalition releases major patch for Gears of War: E-Day

The Coalition has released a major update for Gears of War: E-Day to address stability, performance, and various gameplay bugs. The patch follows a period of DDOS attacks that caused player disconnections over the weekend.

Key improvements include memory optimizations to prevent crashing and performance degradation on PC, Xbox Series S, and handheld devices. The update also fixes issues within the Ranked Versus mode, specifically regarding player skill level determination and placement bugs.

In the campaign and Horde Siege modes, the patch addresses bugs related to weapon mods, character animations, and progression tracking. It also resolves technical issues in cooperative and split-screen play, such as controller locks and screen loss during cinematics.

Players should note that missing collectibles or rewards that failed to register due to previous errors will not be automatically re-granted. Players may need to re-collect items or replay missions to recover certain campaign rewards.
