Some guy on neogaf also wasn't able to get it to work on the latest insider build. Use the regular build, why are you wasting your time on that insider stuff so early anyway lol.

The game was updated.

https://gearsofwar.com/en-us/forums...te/eaf35e80-3500-419a-9478-72f801bb184c/posts

UPDATE
We will be performing server maintenance between 6am and 10am PDT to prepare for TU1. During this time, there will be a potential impact to online services - we recommend avoiding starting extended gameplay sessions (such as Horde) close to these hours to avoid disruption. Find the maintenance times in your local region below.

Title Updates are large scale updates that require downloads and allow us to change more pieces within the game. We also have other updates that we can do on the backend without downloads needed but we are limited to what we can change and control with those updates. Below you will find the notes for the first large Title Update for Gears of War 4. We also have additional updates to a few items we talked about last week.

This Title Update will be hitting on November 1st.

Title Update November 1 2016
XB1 - 5.7GB - 6GB // Win10 - 5.7GB - 6GB with 7GB of disk space needed

New Maps

Two new maps will be added to the developer playlist on November 1st for Season Pass owners and will be available in standard rotation and private games on November 8th for everyone.

The Developer Playlist will contain Versus Dodgeball and Arms Race modes for squads up to three large and Horde players on Normal difficulty.

Weapon Tuning Changes
(These changes may occur a few hours after the Title Update hits. We will update people once these go live.)

We have made some changes to the Competitive Lancer and Gnasher. The goal was to try to smooth out the damage falloff to provide a more consistent feel, without sacrificing the skill.

Lancer

Very short range damage has been slightly reduced.

Gnasher

Very short range damage slightly reduced.
Short range damage slightly increased.
Active damage boost ratio slightly increased to offset damage reduction.
Stopping power completely removed.

Hammerburst body damage has been significantly reduced in Core tuning. Headshot damage has only been slightly reduced to maintain the skill of the weapon.

Body damage significantly reduced.
Headshot damage slightly reduced.
Active reload cooldown increased by 2 seconds.

Fixed an issue where Escalation weapon respawn timers would sometimes not be consistent

All secondary weapons (minus the Longshot) are at 60s respawns.
The Longshot, Shock and Incendiary grenades are at 90s respawns.
All power weapons are at 120s respawns.

Windows 10
**Please make sure to update your Windows OS to Build 14393.222 or later for the game to update. You will not be able to get the update and online games will stop working if this is not done**

Execute and Point of Interest keys can now have the same key binding on Windows 10.
Windows 10 version now displays the version number on main menu.
Users can now rebind Spectator Mode controls on Windows 10.
Abnormalities to the UI on high resolution displays have been addressed.
Mouse and Keyboard users can now switch weapons during countdown at the beginning of the round.
Windows 10 players can now have true offline LAN lobbies.
Average FPS has been now incorporated to the benchmark screen on Windows 10.
Added in game language selection.
Roadie run turn rate on Windows 10 is now a consistent rate instead of reduced when holding the forward key.
Pickup and drop fortifications has been moved to the “Q”/Mark Target key bind instead of “C”/Point of Interest on Windows 10.

Xbox One

Players can now turn on HDR Split-Screen Visualization in the options menu on Xbox One.
HDR calibration has been optimized for Xbox One users.

Xbox One and Windows 10

Team Reviving with players on turrets no longer causes stacking skills in Horde.
At times the gnasher would fire rounds that would not register or expend ammo despite audio and visual FX. This has been addressed.
Ammo crates would sometimes not appear in TacCom in Horde. This has been corrected.
Players who get a kill right after you die in Dodgeball will now be able to count toward a respawn for your team including yourself.
Escalation will now display COG/SWARM DOMINATION when a victory was made from a Domination.
The EMBAR at times could continuously be used in Arms Race after your team has switched to the next weapon. This has been addressed.
Bonus supply crates will now fall in accessible areas even when the Fabricator is placed along walls.
Users will no longer receive objectives in bounties by killing meat shields.
Leader in Guardian will now always be rewarded to the user who killed the prior rounds Leader.
Players should now be able to pick up all power drops in Horde.
Players will no longer appear invisible if they are saved from a Snatcher.
Players can no longer roadie run before countdown.
Bots will be a bit more difficult in Social Versus backfilling
Shock grenades will no longer auto refill after each Horde wave.
Addressed an issue that sometimes allowed for Horde private matches to not start up.
Fixed an issue in which flying enemies could drop power on high ground areas that were inaccessible by the player.
Addressed an issue where players would sometimes not be able to play co-op campaign with another friend.
Removed score from repairing in Horde.
Fixed a few bounties not awarding proper XP values
Fixed an issue where players could push other players out of bounds on Lift.
PC and Xbox One can now play cross play on LAN.
Added Iberian Spanish in-game and cinematic voice over

Addressed numerous miscellaneous map and bug fixes.

Future Updates

Gears Pack Feedback

We are going to have an update on Gears Packs. One large piece of feedback we are looking at including is the removal of duplicate cards appearing in packs that need it. We do plan on keeping them in some packs where they make sense (ie: Horde Booster Packs).
Future Community Holiday Event packs (Gearsmas, etc) will always have a credit path to obtaining them.
We will have more details on this here in the very near future.

Player Penalties

We are still looking into the player penalty fixes. This did not make it in this Title Update. We are exploring if we can get this without a Title Update. We will keep you posted on this as it is a big focus for us.

Horde Leaderboards

We will be wiping the Horde leaderboards sometime after TU1 to ensure players can compete for. We will have more news on when this occurs.

Footstep audio

This is being worked on and should be in the next Title Update.

Competitive/Core Lobbies

This is a larger update that will take a bit but we still have this planned for a future Title Update.

PC Crossplay Testing in a Special Event Playlist

We are hoping to conduct a test on this in November. This will be a separate event playlist for people on both platforms to join. We will see what backend telemetry after the weekend and consider what we can do in the future.

Ranks/Horde Icons not appearing in scoreboards

This is still planned for a future Title Update.

Grenade Spawning Fix

Another issue we have a fix for in the next Title Update. It didn’t make this round of testing.

Campaign Achievement Issues

We have a fix for this in Title Update 2. It will require users to complete the same campaign item that they did not complete to trigger it but they can continue from the checkpoints that they have obtained prior to do so.

Some additional Windows 10 features coming

Vertical Split Screen and Ultra Wide HUD scaling are coming to Windows 10 in the next Title Update.
Patching on Windows 10 is a better experience now. Cyphos will have a post regarding that later this weekend.

EDIT: Also released is a overpriced drop kit DLC.

Just picked this up (was on sale fr £25 on the windows store) and I have to hand it to Microsoft, this game is exceptionally well ported and runs smooth as butter on my 1080 on Ultra @ 1440:

If only they would allow apps like MSI afterburner to work with their games.

Does anyone know of screenshot software like fraps that works with it?

To be fair, when the original came out, duck and dodge was a fresh idea. The genre has been done over and over now. This game is the most generic of them. Rather hollow. It's fun, but they played everything safe. I would think the next game will be more daring.

Title Update 2: December 6th 2016
XB1 - ~6GB // Win10 ~ 6GB with 7GB of disk space needed

Note: There may be disruption from 9am PDT onwards as we transition to this new Title Update. We recommend not starting any extended gameplay sessions near this time.

New Maps and Map Rotation Update
Glory and Speyer will be available in the Versus and Horde Developer Playlist from December 6th for Season Pass owners. Both maps will be available in public playlists for everyone, and Private Matches for Season Pass Holders, from December 13th.

When both maps arrive on December 13th, Gridlock and Relic will be rotated out of all public playlists. Additional to these two maps, Fallout has also been removed from Competitive Play to bring these playlists in line with the official Pro Circuit settings. As all of these maps are from the original 10 that shipped with the game, both maps are still available to play in Private Match for all Gears 4 players.

Updates to the Developer Playlist
This month’s Versus Developer Playlist will contain Team Deathmatch and King of the Hill with a squad size limit of three. The Horde Developer Playlist will feature Normal difficulty Horde.

With this update, Season Pass holders will earn additional XP and Credit rewards when playing the Developer Playlist during the week it’s available. Season Pass holders will continue to get early access to new maps and have access to all DLC maps permanently for use in Versus and Horde Private Matches. We’re continuing to look at adding even more benefits and value for our Season Pass holders in the future.

Horde Balance Update
Mountable turrets are now less accurate, do less damage and have lower maximum ammo reserves. Players using turrets receive less damage mitigation. Level 4 turrets also have reduced health.

Mounted Turrets are designed to be powerful fortifications that need to be used sparingly to deal with tougher enemies or a large wave of opponents storming your base.

After observing how players are playing Horde in the wild, we wanted to tune the Mounted Turrets to be a little less powerful to reduce the viability of only using turrets and barriers on tougher difficulties – while retaining the Mounted Turret’s role as important powerful part of your defenses.

Windows 10: Vertical Campaign Split Screen
We’ve completed work on Vertical Split-Screen support in Campaign for our PC players! You can change the split screen format in the Game Options screen.

Fixes and Improvements

Xbox One and Windows 10

Added support for First Win of the Day bonuses for Versus. Your first win in Versus Multiplayer will now grant an additional 1000 XP and 100 Credits.

Added support for Daily Rewards, a new system that allows us to grant Bounties or other types of Cards as a gift on login. Daily Rewards will not be available on December 6th when this Title Update launches, but we’re planning to introduce them in the near future. We’ll share details on the Daily Reward system soon.

Audio levels for friendly footsteps have been reduced, and enemy footstep audio levels have been increased to make them slightly louder than friendlies. DeeBee ‘joint’ movement noise has been reduced to make them audibly on par with other characters.

Shotgun hit blood effects have received visual feedback improvements to relay damage dealt, allowing a better read of the percentage of damage done to an enemy. The more blood you see, the more damage you dealt.
Note: This visual feedback can only be seen by the player dealing the damage at this time (ie. a user observing your shotgun hits will see the old blood damage effects).

Added a new Inventory screen, accessible from the main menu, that shows all Cards owned (split by category) in one location.

New Cards in your collection will now be marked with an exclamation mark (!).

Audio and Video settings are now retained if the game is closed

Fixed an exploit where a grenade could be planted prior to the end of the round and still be present in the following round

When highlighting a Core or Competitive playlist, you can now see the Tier or Placement Match status of every member in your Squad

Class icons now display in the Horde Scoreboard

Player Cards have been moved closer to the edge of the screen in Spectator Mode

Removed the option to quit from the menu in Core and Competitive playlists

Fixed an issue where campaign completion achievements may not correctly unlock. Completing all chapters not registered as completed again should now unlock the achievement.

Re-Up achievements should now be unlocked the next time the game is loaded if they did not correctly unlock.

Fixed an issue where movement could enter a broken state after sliding into a piece of cover that another player is already traversing

Power weapon pickups are now prioritized over ammo pickups

When in the death screen roundup, you may have seen 100% damage or 0% damage dealt. This is due to ‘rounding up or down’ the decimal point in damage – the death screen information will now round to 1% or 99% in these situations to better reflect the actual damage situation.

An issue that could cause players to warp or teleport when evading or mantling has now been fixed.

Unequipped weapons can now be seen on squadmates / teammates in Campaign, Versus and Horde. Unequipped weapons on opponents in Versus Multiplayer are hidden by design.

Players will no longer spawn facing the wrong way at round start

Players getting up from DBNO on LAN had a chance to have an invisible weapon. This is now fixed.

In Splitscreen, Player 2 will now correctly show their unequipped weapons on their body

Fixed an exploit where a user could be idle-kicked in a no respawn game mode by being held as a meatshield

The Out from Under ribbon can now only be received one per round

Repair Tool executions are now affected by the Execution Bonus Skill Card, and now count as an Execution for Bonus Objectives

The Phat Loot ribbon will now be correctly awarded when completing a Survive or Time Limit bonus objective

Bonus objective score now counts towards total team score

Guardians should no longer get trapped outside the map on Reclaimed

Kestrals should no longer get trapped above the control room on Forge

The Snatcher can no longer be lured in a position where it cannot move on Reclaimed

Bosses will no longer get stuck on cover in Fallout

Fixed an exploit that allowed players to be on a turret while automatically reloading and repairing it

Fixed an exploit to allow users to farm Power at the start of a Horde match

Fixed an exploit allowing players to move before the wave has begun after a Boss Wave

Prolonging the placement of the Fabricator no longer awards additional resources based on the wave it is placed

Equipped Skill Cards can now be upgraded without having to unequip the Card

Using the Forge incinerator on a DBNO enemy in modes with Execution rules will now kill the enemy

Fixed a geometry issue on Reclaimed that allowed grenades to fall out of world at the construction area

Players can no longer launch each other out of bounds

Players can no longer use an exploit to increase the accuracy of weapons beyond their intended settings

Players can no longer time a weapon pickup in order to duplicate multiple versions of the weapon

Buzzkill saw blades will no longer get stuck in mid-air on Dry Dock

When failing to join a user in campaign due to NAT type, a new error will now inform you of the issue

Escalation Rings now have instructions based on their status (Defend / Break)

Bounties will now display a fly out (similar to Ribbons) when completed during gameplay

A Skull icon now appears on the Overhead map when a player dies

When a Re-Up is available, the War Journal will display an exclamation point ‘!’ icon

Escalation: Improvements to weapon selection icons in Escalation

Guardian: Team Leader’s Gamertag now displays in Tac-Com

Torque Bow reticle now supports Color Blind mode options

Chain Lightning ribbon now correctly awards when shocking two players with one shock grenade

Added Offline Customization support, allowing the use of owned customization items (excluding emblems) on LAN

Removed Point of Interest from the Alternate and Tournament Alt control schemes

Fixed a rare issue where a player could appear invisible to other opponents

Characters will now speak a line of dialogue when stuck with a Torque Bow

Users should no longer sometimes get a time out error when completing a Private Match, and should now return to the Lobby correctly

Switching to the Overhead Map while holding Tac-Com will no longer cause the Tac-Com effect to be permanently enabled

The Sudden Death timer now correctly disables in Dodgeball when the situation is no longer 1v1

A rare occurrence causing consoles to reset during matchmaking has now been resolved

Other miscellaneous bug fixes

Windows 10 Specific Updates

Player 2 can now set their own FOV in Split-Screen

Fixed an issue that could cause cinematics to freeze the game

General UI improvements for various resolutions

Motion Blur now functions correctly in Multiplayer modes

Future Updates

Quit Penalties
This continues to be our top priority. We are working hard on developing larger features that will majorly discourage quitting, and as such, these bigger features take time. We hope to introduce these new features as soon as possible.

We recently identified a bug on the services side that would cause a match to begin in a 5v4 situation (or alternatively cause your customization character of choice not to load in some circumstances). This would lead to more quitting from players who were starting a match with uneven teams.

We deployed a server-side update for this yesterday which we believe will cause this issue to be extremely rare. Please let us know if you continue to encounter matches in Core and Competitive starting unbalanced.

Competitive/Core Lobbies
We’re continuing to work on Core and Competitive pre-game lobbies. This is a big feature to develop, but it will be coming in a future Title Update.

Horde Leaderboards
We are still intending to wipe the Horde leaderboards sometime in the near future. Due to a number of exploits - the majority of which are fixed in this TU - we postponed the Leaderboard wipe to make sure any future scores are legitimate.

King of the Hill / Execution Time Limit Adjustments
We are looking to bring the King of the Hill Round Limit down to 1 in Social play, and reduce the Execution time limit. These changes will be made in the near future via server-side update.

Notes from our last Title Update on November 1st can be found here.

That's a very nice update, shame about MGPU still being worked on as that was of one of the features I remember seeing in the options well below the game was released.

Not sure i even need it as it's pretty much the most optimised game of recent times, but still holding out for it being added before I buy it.

Finally picked this up at the weekend for £25!

Beautiful looking game and it's pretty fun so far, I believe I'm quite close to the end.

Major issue with the MP, I haven't been able to play at all due to some 'bigelowe' error and the official support/help forums have zero support or help. I did read that I may have been 'blacklisted' (someone said I was either banned, isp restricted or blacklisted on this patch and it's certainly not the first two) I hope this gets fixed soon before I lose interest

So, my wife bought me Gears 4 for Christmas.
Installed it last night, and started it up this morning. Firstly, fantastic performance and gorgeous visuals.

But, the resolution scaling. Seems it either wants to set at 98% or 102%. I can not get it to run at 100%, or my native resolution. It just constantly jumps over that setting.

Any ideas, suggestions?
