Gears of War 3

It looks like you Gears of War 3 players better find something to do at 2:00 A.M. PT, as the fourth major update is ready to be patched in. This patch is coming mainly to fix any bug issues as well as prepare the software for the upcoming Forces of Nature DLC pack, which is slated for release just next week. 

In relation to the DLC, Director of Production Rod Fergusson will be hosting a live discussion pertaining to the new content. The stream will begin airing at 5:00 ET via the Epic Games Twitch.TV page.

Fixes

• Clients will no longer be stuck with a “Waiting For Players” message up if the host quits Horde during the progression screen
• Chainsaw audio loop will now persist for listeners who leave the audible range and re-enter it
• Fixed some instances where special event ribbons would not be properly awarded
