1. Introduction:

H.I.V.E Beta is mod for Gears of War created to fill the lack of Horde mode on PC.

2. Installation:

c\users\ypur_user_name\Documents\My Games\Gears of War for Windows\WarGame

  • d. unpack Gearcooker anywhere, run open settings, target your WarGame-G4WLive.exe, otherwise it will not run cooker properly.
  • e. add maps to the list
  • f. Run Cooker
  • g. After completing Cooking you can run your freshly installed copy of H.I.V.E Mode.

Installation of every mappack:

Just unpack maps to HiveMaps directory and cook them, If map contains some pack just put it in environments directory and then start cooking.

3. Known Issues:

a. Game Crashes - try to reset your graphics settings - or lower it for playing this mod - it uses big ammount of memory so it can be unstable at some point
b. dont know how to respawn while spectating - press F1 on keyboard
c. "I have black textures" - reset your graphics setting - its cooked content so game can loose itself at some points ;)
d. while hi jack objective - jack doesnt move - shoot him he lost his path.

I've placed all packages on Gears of War My Documents Directory, create shorcut of WarGame-G4Wlive and added ''CookPackages -platform=PC HiveMenu... etc'' and when it's cooking shows that Failed Load to characters packages, muttering etc, and doesn't cook, and when I run the game and type start HiveMenu doesn't start, it says that HiveMenu map not exist

I will look into it - now I need to publish map pack and rest for a while to clear mind before I'll start working on patch.

Skydrive.live.com try to download this package and paste it in your game directory(not in my documents), if that fails - try to play on uncook version - to play on uncook just move HIVE mode directory from unpublished directories to Published Directories

Does this mod work with a torrented version of the game?

No, only original version of game is supported. You can try to run this on uncooked content but you can be missing a lot of content.
