[2019] [No Spoilers] Can we have freeplay be solo-queue-able?

I don't think there was any tether, unless it was linked to the public event style random missions. Any time the tethering came into effect, it was when I was trying to run or fly into an area that was blacked out on the map.

Hmm... there should be no party-tethering in Freeplay. The only time you'll get teleported is if you're hitting the demo zone boundaries.

The intent is that it's for exploration... if you want to just chill and look around, Freeplay is your thing. 😊

You’re not in a group automatically. There’s just other players in your instance is all. The demo doesn’t have the full map open so you’ll hit a boundary.

Yep, basically this - you're not actually forced to group... there just happen to be other Freelancers out in the world with you 😊.

But it does. I got disconnected from free play with a friend and it didn't let me rejoin after I started. When I tried to join him it said the group was full....

Hmm, that may be another bug - the server should reserve your spot for a few minutes after you disconnect. Let me know if you tried to reconnect right away and it didn't work - I'll kick it over to QA and we'll get it filed.

Sorry you're running into problems! 🙁

Will there be a tether limit like in VIP Demo? As is you get teleported to other players if theyre way ahead?

Not in Freeplay... The size of the radii in the final game are bigger, we bumped them up from where they are in the demo (we might bump them up again too, depending on how they're working). 😊

I know the game is no longer supported, but in-game chat please?!?

Is there any chance of patches for Anthem?

Can't go into freeplay, stuck on loading

Why is my FPS so slow?
