If you have suddenly been removed from the Gears of War 5, chances are this problem was triggered by connectivity issues — be it on your end, or on GOW 5 servers.
Although this might seem like a daunting problem to solve at first, there are a few solutions that you can use to get rid of this error. We’ll list them in the guide below. Keep in mind that sometimes you may need to follow all the solutions to get the game to work again.
⇒ Note: Check if this is a known server-side issue. Check the official GOW5 Twitter page for any information about potential outages and other such problems.
Of course, if these issues are officially confirmed, all you can do is wait for TC to roll out a hotfix. The game servers are often having massive problems due to overload.
Gears of War 5 Kicked Me From The Game
Fix 1 – Restart your modem and computer/ console
First, let’s cross connectivity issues off the list by rebooting your network devices (modem/router) and the device you’re playing the game on. As you spend time online, both your modem and PC or console save and store temporary files which may clog up the connection if you fail to power cycle your devices on a regular basis.
Holding down the power button of your devices works, but the best way to solve this problem is to simply unplug the power cord, let your devices unplugged for 2 or 3 minutes, and then plug them back in.
Fix 2 – Get the latest updates
Make sure all your devices are running the latest system version. Update your computer’s OS, check for updates for your console, update your modem’s firmware and install the latest GOW 5 game patches.
The latest updates bring essential optimization improvements and patches that make your system more stable. Don’t forget to restart your devices after installing the latest updates for the changes to take full effect.
Fix 3 – Use a cable connection
If you’re using a wireless connection, consider switching to an Ethernet connection. Cable connections are known to be more stable than wireless connections. They’re also faster and are less prone to interferences.
Fix 4 – Check if your account has been suspended
If you’re playing on Xbox, make sure the Xbox Enforcement team did not suspend you from playing online games. Check if TC suspended your account.
We hope something helps.
