Tim Sampson

Here in the US at 9:20pm EST I try to join a Co-Op campaign game and before the game will load, I am taken back to the main menu and an error screen appears that says, “ERROR You have been returned to the main menu. Could not connect to the server. Please check your connection and try again.”

This is the first time I’ve seen this after playing for months. Also my internet connection seems to be fine.

lisa

game start’s ok, ( well have to restart about 4 to 10 times to get regular horde and not feral)( xbox one) while playing the game there is a bit of lag- after the lag- i get an error message ” timed out” and then i get kicked back to main screen. This is playing a private horde match by myself. have not been able to get past wave 7 as this is about the time it happens sometime sooner. running a wireless set up- the wifi icon does not pop up during this time at all, so i do not believe it is a problem with my wifi. any help with this would be great- or if i can’t figure it out i will have 2 xbox ones for sale if anyone is interested, as gears is the only game i play and without a fix to this problem playing it is pointless.
Tibor Juhász

Nov. 23. Spent 54 hours leveling in Gears and now I haven’t been able to connect to servers for over 24 hours. No news or updates on this issue. I’m about to demand a refund. No reputable business should default on its promises and then leave its customers in the dark.

  - Mike
    
    Same here Sheena. I just played to 50 with some friends Friday night. Woke up yesterday morning wanting to get a quick match in and bam… “unable to connect to gears of war services”. I hate this online only crap. At least on Gears 3 if I wanted to play horde badly enough I could at least get by butt kicked offline and alone ya know. Ugh. So I feel your pain. 2 days and counting now.
Coen

Just bought and installed gears of war 4 but can’t play anaything! It keeps saying: “unable to connect to the gears of war services”
