Unfortunately, it's not a "new" bug, and I didn't even die before I lost my ability to interact.
I really want to love this game but damn if this isn't a complete mess. My performance now is worse than before the patch, I had instances where I could hover forever (away from waterfalls, mind you), my ultimate glitched, etc.
Such a shame. The foundation is there but this needed at least another year in the oven.

May I ask why so many people are choosing the Quickplay option instead of just picking the mission then hitting start?
I've never used it and don't know what the difference is.

Quick play is the only way to redo missions you've already done before
If you mean actual missions, then it because they can't be repeated. In terms of Strongholds, I prefer jumping in and helping out teams, rather than starting a fresh run.
they had 6 years and Destiny/Division to look at
what is their excuse
Oh shit, I had no idea. This is a massive deal then with this bug.
There isn't a functional reason to outside of increased XP and one very long Post-Campaign mission.
Looking at how a game works, or what can be done on one engine, won't necessarily be possible or as easy on another, I'm assuming ? But they should've done a lot more testing and delayed the game.
I hate it for the customers who paid good money for this garbage.
Oh no, some of us just paid $15 for this. We're just "entitled".
Extract of the Aaron Flynn interview with Jason from Kotaku.
If their ambition was to make their worst game to date, they did it.
About Frostbite.
You gotta really wonder what those ambitions were given the current result, there's nothing ambitious on Anthem.

My consolation is that I can spend the rest of the year playing other, actually good EA games that I skipped.
Fuck, apparently with the Interceptor, there's a component that lets you reload on dodging, without you having to do anything!
Sir Darkwing, why do you have to be so mean?
We would like to create a culture around this game of goodwill and harmony. Please do what you can to help make this happen.
The end.
You initially subbed for a year for Anthem?
But yeah, Origin Premier is good value. Lots of games to play, not only newest EA games but also third party and indie games too. I'm glad I only sub for a month, there's no way I'm extending it, let alone buying the game after this. Maybe later next year, at 75% off.
Mostly, yeah. I wanted to play other games afterwards though, so I figured worst case scenario I wouldn't be completely screwed. Too bad most of my friends already dropped the game.
At least Path of Exile gets updated soon.
I'm not mean, just disappointed, that E3 reveal was glorious
:(
Holy shit.
I just ran the game for the first time sine the patch, double checked my settings hand't changed, and Fort Tarsis is running at 20fps, with GPU utilization at a mindblowing 10%
I just can't....

Yeah something is not right. I am getting fucking destroyed by pretty much everything. I fly into a world event and my shields are down and I am at death's door in seconds, it certainly was not like that earlier.
Two reasons. One, it allows you to replay older missions. Two, more important is you get bonus XP for Quickplay, because it's meant to fill out Missions and Strongholds where a party member dropped for whatever reason.
What are you, some kind of peasant trying to run the game on a 4 core CPU? Let me guess, no hyperthreading?
Come back when your CPU starts with an "i7 9" and ends with a "k", kid.
i THINK my performance has gotten better? able to hold above 60 now while flying around in free roam. even in tarsis, when approaching my javelin (that corridor with the vendors) used to dip down to 55ish, now at 60-61. seems like the most improvement comes in during heavy firefights, no longer dropping to 30-40s.
Reading some of the stuff on reddit and it seems for many the patch has made things worst. Is it possible for them to revert/pull the patch? With the game launching on Friday having a worse experience is just going to make things worse for them and the future of the game.
throw this bug in the pile

i read similar complaints
haha so I just quick played a mission its the first temple of dawn one. it was bugged and the mobs just kept spawning we were in there for 20 mins and just killing wave after wave, and no voice audio or anything and the sound mix sounded flat like it was missing any environmental cues or anything you got the gun audio and the mobs voices occasionally but nothing else. frame rate was trash and then it just crashed to desktop. That is the first crash I have had in the game besides the open demo. This patch is garbage. I hope they pull it and fix it.
Yeah, I'm not sure what they did with the difficulty but GM1 is a fucking bear and I'm 450ish in my gear score.
sums up my feelings on all of this.
It's not like they had to tread new ground or re-invent the wheel. They had Warframe, Destiny, Destiny 2, Diablo 3, Path of Exile, Torchlight 2, Elite: Dangerous, and Monster Hunter World to look to for a foundation to base and iterate their game off of. With all the lessons those games could teach about what players want and enjoy. All of those games provide exceptional examples, as they are all some of the best games on the planet.
This is what they came up with. I once questioned whether anyone on their staff played any of those games. I continue to wonder.
And Warframe, and Diablo, and Phantasy Star Online, and Guild Wars, and the scores (possibly hundreds?) of Korean multiplayer instanced action RPGs. You could also arguably include Monster Hunter and it's dozens of clones as well.
I'm genuinely curious about this. Nothing in the game or earlier marketing material seemed ambitious about this game. Destiny at least did have genuinely ambitious plans that they talked about, even if many of them never made it into the game like seamless space travel, seamless matchmaking and switching between Co-Op and PVP game types as you progressed through a mission. Seamless transitions between public and instanced areas did make it into the final product which is still pretty unique (the only other game I can think of that also did this was, ironically, Bioware's own SWTOR).
Maybe they did have some big secret plans they were never able to talk publicly about, but based on the studios output over the past several years I suspect it was just a horribly managed trainwreck from the start.
Anyone who picked up origin premier to play anthem, give Opus Magnum a shot. Such a fun indie puzzle game.
Have BW said whether only having four players per server, was a design choice, or, as a result of some kind of limitation?
You don't seem to be the only person with that problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/asxyzi/hdr_not_working_after_patch_on_xbox_one_x/
I'd assume a limitation, as it feels a bit too low.
I think someone mentioned that it was an intentional design choice.
I'm not sure I believe it.
if they are having problems with streaming/loading now with 4 players, just imagine the bugs with more than 4
it's likely Frostbite
Anyone else completely unable to connect on PC? I keep getting to the title screen but it won't connect
