Gears of War: Ultimate Edition – Third PC Update Changelog:

  • Ultra-wide resolutions (2560×1080 and 3440×1440) added to the game.
  • Pipeline state object cache optimizations to reduce hitches during level transitions.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause full Unreal garbage collect unnecessarily, leading to minor visual hitches.
  • Fixed a visual corruption bug that would rarely affect NVIDIA cards when changing resolutions and VRAM became over committed.
  • Added support for setting anisotropic filtering level through the INI file.
  • Fixed lack of mouse input when using lowest mouse sensitivity and fully zoomed in with sniper rifle and moving the mouse very small amounts.
  • Adjustments to low (1GB VRAM) texture setting.
  • Added ability to toggle an FPS counter. Press the “Delete” key at any time to turn the counter on/off.
