*Gears Of War* Thread :o) Game Pics & Performance.

Just literally installed but as soon as I start a new game, after the initial cutscene, it constantly turns right, as if I have the mouse hard right.

I have restarted several times and on occasion it will work fine but what gives, has anyone suffered this?

What the hell?!
 
Anyone having problems with surround setups? I have a 4.1 system but I'm only getting stereo.


Edit: No probs sorted it. If anyones wondering....My Documents\My Games\Gears of War for Windows\WarGame\Config\WarEngineUserSettings.ini

change:

[ALAudio.ALAudioDevice]
UseEffectsProcessing=True
DeviceName=Generic Software

to:

[ALAudio.ALAudioDevice]
UseEffectsProcessing=False
DeviceName=

Got a joystick/joypad/steering wheel plugged in?
 
Just installed and crashes within minutes with a reference to "wargame-g4wlive.exe".

Going to read through this thread now to see if it gets a mention. Any solution?

Keen to sort it as game looks great from what I've been able to see so far.

i get this too, no fix yet unfortunately
 
Has ANYONE got their leaderboards to work properly? Ive played loads of player matches but when I go to the leaderboards, it dosnt seem to have recorded my kills or anything. Also how many servers on average are people getting? Especially for ranked im finding absolutley none at the moment. Anyone else having this problem?
 
LMAO off at the Credits :)

Can somebody list/post a screenshot of the My Documents/My Games folder tree for GoW under XP please, I got hit by the non-default location bug and have used what was shown on the Vista screenie posted earlier but appear to have no screenshots being saved anywhere, actually, if somebody would confirm that Printscreen is the correct key too :)

Love the FPS stat recording, geeky :cool:

Look back on page 9 I think that's what you are looking for.
 
Try right-clicking the shortcut, and then run as administrator. It stopped it crashing for me. Worth a try.

couldnt do that as im running XP

Anyway i solved the crashing now, turns out it was ATI Tray Tools causing it, if disable it before i load gears it dont crash and i can play. YAY! :D

I'm running XP too :) you can still do it...right click desktop shortcut, click 'run as', then select 'the following user'. I just put my Windows login name and password in - Even tho I'm already logged into the same user, it stops it crashing.

I'm running tray tools too actually. Might try disabling it.

to:

tried that, still only stereo for me. But hey, atleast it works i guess.....

EDIT - Seem to have sorted it out now. I changed it so that it reads:

[ALAudio.ALAudioDevice]
UseEffectsProcessing=True
DeviceName=

No joy for me :( Managed to get as far as kicking open the second door in the training scenario before crashing.
 
this game is great, but it took me a good 30 minutes to set up a valid live account, and then it didnt help after that with constantly losing connections before i even joined.

ah well, all is good now, and im loving the chainsaw (victims are not)

The "run as...." option is there in XP as well, just in case anyone else is having this problem in XP.
