Gears of War PC Patch Restores Playability
by Chris Faylor, Feb 09, 2009 7:41am PSTNow available on FileShack is a patch that restores playability to Gears of War PC.
The 6.29 MB download resolves an issue with the game's digital certificate, which expired on January 28 and prevented players from booting the game thereafter.
