Gears of War: Ultimate Edition released earlier this month and it suffers from a handful of performance issues. The studio responsible for the remake, The Coalition, has reportedly confirmed a new patch which will roll out next week, according to DSO Gaming. While it doesn’t appear to address every issue raised about the port, it’s definitely a start.
Key updates include performance optimizations, Ambient Occlusion tweaks, and “refactor of texture settings to better reflect VRAM requirements and to better manage the texture levels for each setting”. I think the short version of that last point is, the game will run better. Mouse smoothing has also been disabled.
Meanwhile, The Coalition is looking into a handful of other issues, including NAT problems, long matchmaking times, textures not loading in correctly and Achievements not unlocking. Support for ultra-wide resolutions is also being considered by the studio, which is currently working on Gears of War 4 (which is looking increasingly likely to hit PC).
