Preferences, Custom Maps Bug Fix

If you start the game using the Play button on the Autorun screen, you may experience the following issues:

  • Personal preferences (for example, resolution settings) are lost
  • Custom maps do not appear on the map list

To fix this problem:

  1. Go to Start, click Run, type “regedit,” and then press Enter to launch the Registry Editor
  2. Go to the following registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\]
  3. Change the “SetupPath” value so that the word “binaries” is capitalized. For example: “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\binaries\” becomes “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\Binaries\”
