Gears 5 and Gears 1 Remastered Crashing/Force-Resetting PC on Startup/Splashscreen

S_759 · Aug 8, 2023

I downloaded Gears of War 5 from the Microsoft Store app (Xbox on PC). Every time I run the program it loads up the game, goes through the Easy anti-cheat loading bar, then starts the game. It crashes my PC after the developer splash screen ends (Dolby, Coalition, etc).

I tried to play Gear 1 Remastered and I have had the same issue, making both games unplayable.

I have tried updating my version of Windows 10 Pro, I now run the most up to date version. I have also tried updating my graphics drivers through NVIDIA and optimized the game through GeForce Experience, to no avail.

Hello S_759,

Nilay here and I'm glad to answer your query today.

I would like you to go through the following steps to clear your Mac address and perform a quick power cycle:

Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear it and the console should restart. It would definitely help if you could restart the internet router while the console is restarting.

After going through the troubleshooting steps mentioned, I invite you to perform a quick power cycle by turning off the console and then unplugging all the cables. After 2 to 3 minutes, re-plug them back again, then restart your console.

In case the issue still persists after the previous steps have been performed, here is the official link to all the troubleshooting steps that can help sort this out.

In case the troubleshooting steps mentioned on the previous link weren't helpful, I have another link for you that could help you take care of the situation! Here is another and a more narrow link related specifically to game crash, and game freeze related issues:

In case the issue still persists, the next step would be to perform a reset on the console. To do so you will need to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

Remastered? No. As I understand it, we will be able to play the previous Gears games when the backwards capability function comes out later this year without paying any additional money. These games will not be remastered like Gears 1 though.

Why not just remaster all of the Gears of War games on Xbox One, that would be a even better idea than just Gears of War 1.

@Genchy a bet about what? that a gears remake is coming? I wont bet because i agree with you.

What im saying is (and this is all hypothetical) say Gears 4 is ready to be released in q1 2016, if they were to remaster gears 1 and release it in q4 2015 i would be willing to bet you would see gears 4 pushed back. If they also plan to release gears 2
and 3 remastered, then surely they are going to push back gears 4 again as to maximise revenue you wouldnt release the games too close together.

This is (in my opinion) how the gears remaster is going to have an effect on gear 4.

Do i particularly want a Gears remake? No. Would i play a Gears remake? its highly likely depending on what else is released
