The Coalition has dropped a hotfix for Gears of War: E-Day to tackle some of the stability and bug problems found in key modes of the game. This hotfix is important because there have been outages and tech glitches in the past that sometimes interrupt the campaign and multiplayer gameplay. We want you to be in the loop on the fixes to get you back into the game without any unwanted hitches.
The Coalition patches stability issues across campaign and multiplayer modes
This hotfix is focusing on the single-player campaign, the co-op Horde mode, and the competitive Versus multiplayer. According to The Coalition, the goal of the hotfix is to boost stability and patch up some bugs in these focused areas. This wide-ranging focus hints that The Coalition is looking to improve both narrative and competitive aspects with this one hotfix.
For instance, they've fixed a squad disconnection problem that would happen if a player didn't load in on time. They've also fixed a T-pose freeze bug that popped up when you were aiming right after firing a shotgun out of cover. Plus, there's a fix for an Xbox Cloud Gaming config error that was causing the game to run in quality mode instead of performance mode.
In the campaign, they fixed a camera detachment in Act 2 Chapter 4, and a stuck train car in Act 4 Chapter 4. They've also fixed some navigation pointer problems in Act 3 Chapter 3, and Aunt dialogue issues. In Versus, they fixed the timeout in ranked matches to be two minutes, and they made some changes to how you access bombs in Annihilation mode.
They haven't fixed the competitive smoke grenade exploit yet, though they're working on a different fix and anti-cheat measures. So, you might still run into this specific issue while playing ranked matches until the next patch. We'll keep an eye on things as they roll out these extra security and balancing patches.
