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.

Im having the same issue, MS and Epic know about it and are supposed to be sorting it.

I just wish they would do it already lol!!

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

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
