Just a heads up to anyone doing split screen. I played some last night with a friend and he signed into his profile while the game was loading (I was already signed in) and it wiped out my kill count! My save games are still there, they weren't affected, but my total kills and progress towards achievements like "Shock and Awe" and "Seriously 2.0" were reset back to zero. Not a big deal, I only had about 3000 kills and I've already got most of the other achievements, but I would've been pretty mad if I had tens of thousands of kills towards the seriously achievement. Be careful if you play split screen!

Just played multiplayer for the first time today. Definitely a huge improvement over the original Gears of War's multiplayer, but the matchmaking system needs a patch quite badly right now (I'm sure Epic and Microsoft will deliver the goods soon). A lot of my matchmaking attempts were met with a strange "Matchmaking was remotely reset (or something to that degree)" error, which pretty much went in an infinite loop until I manually cancelled out. It seems as though quite a few people are having that problem, so like I said, Epic will probably have it fixed up soon.

Once I actually got into a game, it was really nice. I have a pretty awful connection at home, but I hardly felt any lag at all (maybe I'm just having a good day). From somebody who had a difficult time getting into the original game's multiplayer, the quick games of Annex I had were good times all around.

I think this is a definite skip for me, I liked the first one but since I was never able to finish it (yeah I suck, I can't beat RAAM :p) I lost interest very quickly. The next UE3 powered game I'm pumped for is ME2 :D

I loved the ending, personally. I like it when it's a change from "annoying boss battle" finishes.

While I agree with that, I thought storywise the ending left a lot to be desired. I think it ended very abruptly considering how many new things it brought to the storyline during the game. I don't think it was bad - I liked it, but I still think it was rather abrupt.

Just IMO, but the ending was more satisfying than the first Gears ending. That ending just left me like, "eh? So?"

Not an amazing ending in terms of story, but I like how it left a lot of questions unanswered. Half-Life 2 games do the same thing.

are you sure? That's werid cause I haven't seen anyone else having this problem. I haven't tried Co-Op splitscreen myself yet though.

Congrats.

I tried with two guys that knew each other, and three other guys that didn't. We made it up to level 30 but didn't get past it. One of the guys dropped out a couple of rounds earlier.

Still can't find a ****ing game. I can successfully''search for team mates'' but I never get beyond ''connecting to a match''

I got the game yesterday, and I tried couple of times to find a horde game with no luck! WTF!? I do not have any problems with other games. This is for the first time.

Doing CoOp Campaign with a friend, and we left off last night on the Giant Sea Worm On The Boat part.

I see the pattern that needs to be done, go in the mouth and shoot the small tentacles then the middle when it opens, but how many times do we need to do it? Any advice on best ways to get that part done?

You throw grenades into the mouth with it kinda pops out (the section with teeth) after shooting the blue tentacles, I think you gotta chuck 3 grenades in there

Hope that helps

      Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.

      Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
