It does. Just make sure to change your speaker setup on desktop before starting the game.

Hmmm this is perhaps the first time where default game textures look so bad compared to the ultra texture pack. It looks like ultra pack is mandatory. Do we know if XBX comes with ultra textures? That would be interesting why they decided to split better textures into a seperate pack on PC, which usually implies it goes above console quality, which it probably doesn't in this case?quick comparison of Ultra texture pack.

Yeh I'm hovering 80fps everything maxed on 1080ti @ 1620p, ryzen 1700x
As far as i know they said Xbox One X has only the high textures.
Ultra is PC only.

Armor improvement but beard hair texture is way blurrier and low res in the ultra setting.
You just have to enable vertical sync. I don't get any tearing when playing on my TV.
Note, there was an old bug in Nvidia drivers that introduce tearing on one of the mirrored screens if using multi-monitors or TV with mirroring enabled.
Are you using mirroring or TV alone ?
If you are in dual-screen and refresh rate of the monitor is different it can also be a cause.
Or another cause, do you force adaptative sync in the drivers ?
If you also can't stand the input lag introduced by Vsync, you may want to take a look at this thread. ;)
Vsync is enabled and I'm using the TV alone. Is there something in Nvidia control panel I have to enable or disable? I'm not near the computer right now so I don't know if forced adaptive sync is on or not.
I'll give this a shot. Thanks!
PC w/ high res texture pack has much higher quality textures than X1X. They do require a lot of VRAM though... 8 GB at 4K.
Late gen games lately are looking much more like medium, low, or lower than low for a lot of variables.
In the NV Control Panel check if adaptative sync is enabled or not, you can chose to let programs do what they want.
Does it happens with other games ?
In Gears 5 does it still happen if you set a maximum FPS setting ?
Yes it does :)
Anyway to get this running 4k/60 on a 1080ti without losing any noticeable image quality from max settings?
New Zealand's population increased 10 fold this morning.
If you have ultimate game pass you can just change your region and time zone to New Zealand and play right now.
I have a Ultrawide 1080p (2560x1080) monitor with a 1080 and a lower CPU with DDR3 RAM and I'm pushing well over 60fps. Usually in the 90's average. Saw a dip into the upper 60's once.

I didn't change region again, still the one allowing playing.
I also tried a different pc, same story, no download, stuck at 70%.
I guess I'll have to wait, there's nothing I'am aware of I can do.
Aww yes! Thank you! Wow, they really did think of everything.
On Act 2 now, this is really a step up on the other Gears campaigns. All running smoothly on my 1080ti w/ R7 1700 at 3.7GHz. Great job by the Coalition.
I really, really wish there was a way to skip the splash screens. They take over 30 seconds!
If you start counting the second you click on "Play" in the Xbox app or the MS Store, it takes almost a minute and a half to get to the game's actual menu (which only loads after pressing "Start" in the empty title screen). And this is on an NVMe SSD.
If this were truly Win32, as promised by Phil, I would've already deleted the intro videos from the game's folder.

So I guess I'm the only one with the random loading stutter eh? Well that's annoying. Wonder how I'm gonna fix it
Any US peeps able to get the download working for the high res textures? When I tried it before work the Texture Quality graphics option in-game was pinned to 70%, and Game Pass/Window Store both just had Gears 5 infinitely looping between 'Downloading' and 'Finished Installing'. Was wondering if it's related to the unlock time, and not taking into account the region setting in Windows
I noticed 5 to 6 GB usage (of the 11 of my 2080 Ti) in the graphics benchmark with everything maxed out and ultra textures, 4K resolution, I don't know if it will use more in real gameplay, I haven't checked yet.
I guess on xbx, it's 9 gigs vram is also being used for sound and everything else.
if anyone is playing with a 1080ti & 6700k combo please let me know what performance you are getting :)
Gears 4 performed wonderfully on my rig.

Well, yeah, but Phil said that they'd be "enabling full support for native Win32 games to the Microsoft Store on Windows". He also said that this would "unlock more options for developers and gamers alike, allowing for the customization and control they've come to expect from the open Windows gaming ecosystem".
Not being able to launch the game directly from its executable, change its permissions, or even run it in exclusive full screen doesn't seem like allowing for much control and customization in an open gaming ecosystem. What's the benefit, to end-users?
It's the developers choice. They can choose to encrypt or unencrypt their Windows store app.
Thanks man. Built it over the summer in preparation for this game along with Cyberpunk in April. Definitely paying off right now as this game is breathtaking at these settings.
