Gears of War Update 1/22/07

Submitted by Midnight on Mon, 01/22/2007 - 8:51pm.

Just logged on and was required to download an update when starting GoW. No clue what it contained at this time.

UPDATE: rap's got some info below.

Looks like several other

EPIC: "It is a minor compatibility update. No gameplay or functionality changes at this time."

This is most likely due to the fact that GoW came out in Japan today. See this forum post in which an EPIC forum ADMIN writes briefly about the patch.

This patch DID NOT FIX THE VGA problem that GoW has been having.

On a side note, it looks like several people are reporting that the new patch is causing 3 RED LIGHTS on the XBOX.com forums: http://forums.xbox.com/9823894/ShowPost.aspx

3 RED LIGHTS - Not true???

Problems w/ the 2nd patch

I do not know what is happening. A friend of mine & me are playing a xboxlive coop game. And now it is doing som spooky stuff. I can not interact with the environment at all: I Shoot blanks, all enemies are standing still, can not open any doors and I suddently die out of nowhere. The host of the game are saying I am standing still on his screen. On my side of the screen I can move around but not do anything - on his side I am standing still doing nothing. We never had any probs. before and we are almost at the end! Frankly - it is really irritating! And it happends every 5 minute.

Please fix the problem:(

It started tonight when the 2nd update was downloaded?????

I've never done the X+A

I've never done the X+A thing when getting a wep or reviving a team mate. Last night I tried it three times. Three times I got the weapon, but I couldn't fire. Actually, it looked like I dropped the weapon I was carrying and wasn't holding any weapon. I could walk over the weapon the I just dropped, drop my current weapon (which I couldn't see or fire), pick up the old weapon and do a normal weapon swap. Anyone else have this happen to them?

There was some messed up

There was some messed up connectivity tonight. I sat through a few rounds in the lobby while apparently a game was happening. And, I could only hear about 50% of what everyone was saying. The voice was choppy. I didn't have this problem on jayWHY's host. Has Oculus's host gone bad?

Hmm..

Hmm, I don't know. What I do know is one of the guys on your team was lagging pretty bad can that cause problems for other people?, also FB kept having issues of dropping out, I don't think we ever determined if it was his problem or mine. Here's a quick speed test. But it's not peak time. I'm going to try another test tonight if I can.

I wasn't aware that my connection has had problems before, so hopefully it was an isolated incident. I would seriously pay some money for a monster connection around here. Fiber please.
