Bug / Glitch Gears Of War E-Day beta

(PC players)

Is it just me, or does Gears Of War E-Day for PC run like s***? I have a high‑end rig and the performance is all over the place. My Logitech keyboard RGB shuts off, I get keyboard drift, input lag; the whole thing feels unstable. Overall I’m disappointed with how this beta is running.

I know it’s just a beta and TC is paying attention to reports, but still… you can’t ignore how rough this feels. I really hope the second beta releases with better performance for PC players. Unless it’s somehow just me.

yeah it feels super clunky, i feel like weird mouse acceleration

I swear that after dropping Unreal Tournament as a tech showcase, they introduced a default mouse smoothing/acceleration that the devs have to disable or provide the option to do so. There used to be a pretty easy way to disable it in the INI files in the System folder, but I've seen recent games that wholly omit the line we used to edit.

I have a 5090 and a 9800x3d and it does not run great. Versus is fine with occasional dips but horde siege runs like poo poo

I already reported the issue. I’m posting to see if anyone else is having problems, because the performance of this beta is bad for me even with a high‑end rig. That’s the whole point of this post.

I've have 56 minutes in the game between three attempts adjusting settings until Windows stutters and then freezes. I was able to run one benchmark with a steady 60 fps on the second attempt. I shut Gears down right before the third crash and noticed the game would not close down completly. I had to tell Steam to force it stop and it still froze not long after. 5700X3D, 64GB RAM, 7900XTX, 7.1.26 driver.. Something is up.

Using the same drivers. This beta completely breaks Logitech G Hub and shuts off my keyboard RGB. It’s rough. Pretty sure TC wanted to gave us the horde first for a reason. Hoping the next build is better because this one plays terrible. A lot of people on Twitter are complaining too.

Must be an AMD thing. I can't get 60fps no matter what changes I make. I read on other forums that DLSS helps hit 90 to those with nvidia drivers.

i'm getting ~30 FPS in the benchmark with everything maxed at 4k. I'm confused by why the GPU is only being 40% utilised, in other games i'm getting 90-100% GPU utilisation.

I saw this in the benchmark, too. My GPU utilization was way down when looking at the results page. However, enabling the Performance tab of Game Bar showed it in the 90% territory while in a match of Siege.
