Gears of War 3 bug crashing consoles, corrupting profiles

11 October 2011

If you were planning on a split-screen co-op session of Gears of War 3 any time soon, you might just want to hold off on that a bit.

According to an increasing number of reports over on Epic’s forums, some kind of serious bug is hanging the game at load, and rendering one or both of the profiles present unable to play at all after that.

The bug seems to turn up in multiple game modes, including Horde, campaign, and versus multiplayer.

For the moment, Epic’s official line is that “Getting this resolved is a priority for Epic. We are collecting information internally, sourcing as much as possible from the community and exploring potential fixes. We do not have any recommendations to share with players just yet.”

Or, basically, don’t play split-screen co-op.

Don’t even play Gears of War 3.

Don’t even switch on your Xbox, man.
 
The worst bit? Gears of War 2 had exactly the same bug.
