So Gears of War 4 has been borderline broken on PC for 8 months now. How is this acceptable?
- Thread starter Mullet2000
- Start date
Every single major UWP Microsoft first party title has had a very significant number of reports of crashing, hitching, etc, beyond what is normal, and almost all of which continue to have those issues months if not years after launch.
Between this and the mess that is Master Chief collection, it's pretty shitty of Microsoft to allow this from their first parties.
Forza Horizon 3 was also awful on PC.
Microsoft let it fly for 3 years on Master Chief collection. They didn't catch enough flak for that so they seem to be fine with this lackluster response now.

I play it and it crashes all the time, instant reboot, no BSOD.
I failed to mention my gaming PC does this for almost any game, so it's mostly irrelevant.

As a game dev it terrifies me that the op lays out the following logic:
-Game releases, works perfectly
-third party release drivers completely breaking the game
-game dev is at fault and is unacceptable

I would like to know which Uplay and Steam games gave you this issue. I own all the big Uplay games (Ass Creed Origins, Syndicate, Unity, Far Cry Primal) on PC, none of them or any other big space hogging AAA games in my Steam library of 450 games have given me this issue. The install process is seamless and transparent to the end user on these platforms. I do not even have a fast drive (5400 rpm, 1 TB).
Read the OP, read the thread, all the info you need is there.
Not sure why you're posting in this thread then. You ought to post in a thread where it's more likely someone will be able to help you diagnose what's wrong with your gaming PC.
I was just joking, tbh. I mean, my pc is a now 8 year old i7 with 16gb ram and a 980gtx, but its almost definitely a hardware problem I wont ever be able to fix (I work in IT - I have reinstalled, swapped ram, swapped PSUs, used different video cards). I just have to either contend with it, or wait till I feel like upgrading ;)
Because despite what some might say, not a lot of people play Gears 4. So I guess the outcry isn't enough for them to try and care when Gears 5 is right around the corner

It's the amount of time that made me use that logic. Sure, a weird update can screw over a game at no fault of the developer. But we are approaching a year now with no fix. At some point, it's on the devs as well for not stepping up to fix it. A year is plenty of time for a company as big as EPIC to work with Nvidia to get a fix out.
for honor was the last one..
it filled my hard disk several time despite having like 15 gb more than the required space.
and it's something that happened to me with steam games too, but the reboot thing i only tried on uplay
I have problems with Windows Store games too. Forza Horizon crashes me randomly too. No lag, no framerate drops, no computer reset, just straight up closes like nothing happened. It's so annoying, I just wanna race...

Will test it towards the weekend. Would be cool if it's finally fixed.
