Gears of War: E-Day players are reporting connection dropouts and login issues.The Coalition links network failures to DDoS attacks.
Gears of War: E-Day users have reported being unable to enter online matches and experiencing sudden disconnects.Developer The Coalition confirmed that the outage was caused by distributed DDoS attacks on the game's online services.
The Coalition is trying to protect network services
In an official statement, the team said it was monitoring the situation and taking measures to reduce the impact of the attacks.It is promised to inform about changes if they are significant.The developers did not provide an exact time frame for full restoration or a list of affected regions in this statement.
Why does a DDoS attack prevent you from connecting to matches?
During a DDoS, servers receive a large number of artificial requests and may stop serving real players normally.Therefore, the connection error is not necessarily related to your home network or computer settings.Restarting the client does not fix the problem on the service side.
If the game does not allow multiplayer, it is better to monitor the official messages from The Coalition and Gears Community. The Coalition has not yet announced that the attacks have completely stopped.
