Gears of War: Reloaded New Minor Update 1.008.001 Released on Sept. 24
While The Coalition released a new update for Gears of War: Reloaded last week that fixed the squad achievement progression issue, the developers have issued a new one today, and this one has been released without much fanfare.
Players will see it as Gears of War: Reloaded update 1.008.001, and this is a small download across consoles and PC, so don’t expect any new content.
Gears of War: Reloaded Update 1.008.001 Silently Pushed Out
The Coalition has not acknowledged today’s patch even hours after it was released. There is a chance the studio will release the changelog later, but don’t be surprised if they don’t mention it.
One Steam user said this fixed Linux performance regression, though it’s not certain if Steam Deck was affected. Apparently, frame-rates were fixed with the update and uitlizes the GPU “properly.”
Some of the bugs or issues still plaguing the game that have yet to be resolved include:
- Bluetooth stuttering issue
- Weapon Collector challenge bugged
- Level 1 lobby glitch where a player earns XP but reverts back to level 1 in the lobby
Some other issues that might boil down to preference include SBMM (skill-based matchmaking) not really optimized for fun play, the Gnasher not working as intended (no git gud comments, please).
We’ve reached out to the studio to determine what was specifically fixed, and if we receive any updates, we’ll update the article with the new information.
If you notice any specific fixes or changes, leave a comment below and let us know.
Despite the issues, the game remains solid, as detailed in our review.
