Gears 5 October 1st update released, adds Async Compute to NVIDIA GPUs, adds new Skill Cards

The Coalition has released a brand new update for Gears 5. According to the release notes, the October 1st update adds some new Skill Cards. These Skill Cards provide strong new bonuses when playing in the Venom for Keegan and Lahni, plus an additional Venom-based option for Mac. Moreover, this patch enables Async Compute to NVIDIA GPUs.

According to reports, the Async Compute does not bring any major improvements to the latest NVIDIA GPUs. Still, it’s great having that option for both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. Since there aren’t any major performance improvements, we won’t be re-testing the game. If you want to know how the game runs, you can check out our PC Performance Analysis. You can also read Pieter’s review here.

It’s also worth noting that this update comes with a number of fixes. For instance, it fixes the missing DBNO notification when players are DBNO. It also fixes a bug that could prevent Ultimates from being activated on PC, as well as crashes when transitioning through some cinematics on Nvidia Cards.

Furthermore, this patch adds an option to disable down/kill notifications next to crosshairs, an Easy Navigation accessibility option, and an Aim Toggle Accessibility option.

As always, the Windows Store will download this update the next time you launch it. You can also find its complete changelog here.

Have fun!

  1. Adding on you fuaking bi1tch, I said you wouldn’t show me your Skyrim and what do you know? Still have shown me your Skyrim, Bob you are a fuaking fruad, who really has Mental issues, you fuaking moron, hey again, eveyone knows besides your 40 Year old pedo boyfriends, how every post you told me, you mad bro, you insane bro, no bro, FUAK YOU.

  2. “As always, the Windows Store will…”

    …be ignored because, as John omitted to mention, the game is also on Steam.

    1. Well, it’s expensive on steam. Paid 2$ for 2 month of xbox game pass whatever it is. I hate their store but man 2$ to play that game that’s a deal steam can’t give.

        1. Playing gears in solo it’s f*king boring. You cannot play the cracked version in coop and it crashes every 5 minutes bravo.

          1. The cracked version worked fine for me no crashes at all after clearing the direct x cache.

            And the campaign is very good and if you have controllers you can play split screen co op.

  3. I didn’t play the game because the sound issue it has and still i should wait one more month to receive audio fix update, but anyway greedfall is a lot of fun so who gives a s.h.y.t!

    1. He and Fernando Diaz are sure attracting by far the most downvotes since Disqus started allowing us to downvote comments, lol!

      1. Didn’t even realize they brought back downvotes. All those poor, tender feelings that are going to be hurt. Oh noes.

  4. Defending myself is sign of mental issues? You are losers lmao . Most of you . Mainly that Mental fruad dude or w.e his name is, LMAO . I ran you off the map, now you tryna come back, boi get fuaked . No ones cares .
