Xbox game bar crashing when trying to use group finder.

Hi Team,

When I try to post on LFG using the XBox Game Bar, the game bar crashes.

But if I join other people's LFG, it works fine without crashing.

Help would be appreciated.

Update: I reinstalled the Xbox Game Bar (using
this article) and now it works! Thanks for all the help!

Hi juicyguyzer,

Try restarting your console when this issue occurs. If this does not help feel free to request assistance from the xbox support team by calling them or by heading to their support site at (https://support.xbox.com/contact-us).

Hope this helped!

Hi

Here is one solution but its not a permanent solution to this problem and you will have to do this every time the game is opened, with alt + tab go back to the desktop and then go to the task manager. Then look for the tab “Details”
and in the list below look for the process “GearGame.exe” and right click and select “Set priority” -> “Below normal”.

Finally just click on “change priority” in the box that appears later and go back to the game.

I believe the reason support has said contact the developer is because there has been a known ongoing crash issues with GoW4 on PC since last year, before the game bar became a thing.

I still don't believe its the game that's the issue. I've just tried what you suggest in 5 separate games of horde mode, 3 of which involved using the game bar playing with other people on the looking or group beta. all of those games I crashed ether at the
beginning or the midpoint. 2 of the games were just random public searches without using the looking for group or the Xbox game bar. both games I finished without any bugs, crashes or glitches.

I honestly believe its the Xbox game bar that's causing this, but thanks for trying.

Do the Xbox Beta or the Xbox Console Companion apps crash if you try to use those to join/start parties as well, or is it purely contained to Xbox Game Bar?
