There are reported problems with the PC version of Gears of War.
This issue apparently affects all Gears of War for Windows releases and prevents the game from properly launching after January 1st, 2009. While an update has been issued, the distributor has acted to have the product removed from it’s inventory and off the shelves of retailers to mitigate any additional exposure for the retailers and end user customers.
Retailers have been requested to immediately stop selling the game (in store and online) and return all inventory to their authorized Microsoft distributor.
Customers owning an affected copy of the game are directed to :
- Visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967644 or http://gearsofwar.xbox.com/pc/qfe1.htm for instructions on downloading the required software game update, or;
- Call Microsoft Customer Service through the local Microsoft support number listed in the product manual to order a game disk with the required update.
