Beta Known Issues

![Beta Known Issues](https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/45053572/e6a8fd2eb163efffcefbb0306afb79c014b2c54c.png) The beta is not final software. If you experience any bugs not listed below or game-breaking issues, submit a ticket through our support site here: [https://aka.ms/gearscontactsupport](https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=https%3A%2F%2Faka.ms%2Fgearscontactsupport) - Stability and Performance is still a work in progress and you can expect crashes and performance dips. - Latency issues or delays in matchmaking may occur as we test our systems and accommodate a large number of players. - Accessibility features, particularly narrator, are still being debugged and refined. - World issues such as cover issues, visual popping/streaming issues and out-of-bounds issues may be visible. ### PC Known Issues NVIDIA users should update to GeForce Game Ready Driver 610.74 or newer before launching. The game will not launch on older NVIDIA drivers until updated. Older drivers will not be supported. You must have the following driver versions or later: - AMD – 26.6.4 - Intel – 101.8864 - NVIDIA – 610.74 Recording with older versions of OBS will cause the game to crash. Please ensure you are running v29.0.0+ Intel Arc graphics cards currently recompile shaders on every game launch, resulting in longer start-up times. Intel Arc A580 and B580 graphics cards may experience significantly reduced performance if Resizable BAR (ReBAR) is disabled in BIOS. If you are experiencing poor performance, verify that ReBAR and Above 4G Decoding are enabled. Consult your motherboard or system manufacturers or system manufacturer’s documentation for instructions. Players using Comodo Antivirus may be unable to launch the game because Comodo can incorrectly block game executables. If the game fails to launch, temporarily disable Comodo Antivirus or configure Comodo to allow the game executables to run before launching the game. Being signed into the XBOX App with one account and the Windows Store with another account can block your ability to play online. Account linking on Steam Machines does not work for the Beta. Frame generation is disabled. This is temporary and will be enabled in the final game. Framerate is capped at 150 FPS. This is a temporary cap that will not exist in the final game. When switching display modes, sometimes the game will not fill the entire display. ### XBOX Series X|S Known Issues On Xbox Series S, some players may encounter hitching after extending Horde Siege play sessions when using Quality Mode. - Workaround: If hitching occurs, fully quit and restart the game. This restores normal performance for the next play session. Stay tuned to Gears X and Instagram channels for any additional information over the course of the two weekends.
