PSA: we're aware and investigating user reports of issues including controller recognition on Steam, sign-in issues as well as various error codes. ◽️Some users may experience an authentication issue with error code (quentin-ehyra). If you are seeing this on XBOX after using Quick Resume, our recommendation at this time to disable Quick Resume via your console System Settings. If you encounter this on any other device, restarting the title should address it. ◽️Some users may experience timeout settings with error code (drone-snub). We suggest you check that your router is not set to high security settings and/or that your firewall settings are not blocking UDP port 443 If you encounter a bug, crash or just have feedback, get in touch at aka.ms/gearscontactsupport
