Freelancers, early launch is finally here!

This Megathread will serve as a place to discuss bugs, errors, and issues. These can include: crashes to the desktop, game freezes when doing something, issues loading the game, animation errors, cutscene freezes, etc. We will redirect the majority of relevant threads to this megathread.

They do not include issues with the Storm being overpowered, the Colossus being too weak, weak loot dropping from bosses, etc. Those are not bugs, just a feature™.

Also, please do NOT spoil people in this thread. When discussing spoilers around the subreddit, use proper spoiler tags. We will ban people using spoilers, either mistakenly or maliciously. To mark for spoilers, do so like this >!!<. For example: >!Owen is a cutie pie!< would look like Owen is a cutie pie, but all story discussion should take place outside this thread. Also, people may request [No Spoilers] in their own thread by tagging it as such.

Please keep in mind that your issue may have been addressed (perhaps even by a Bioware dev) in yesterday's bugs and issues thread. You can find yesterday's bugs and issues thread here.


Message from Bioware regarding bug reports (source here)

Hey everyone -- Just a quick reminder that we love all the feedback, and we are reading it. It would also be super awesome for us if you all don't mind helping us by reporting any bugs you find with us at our Answers HQ, and if you're having technical difficulties or need game support, EA Help.

Obviously, we will continue to read this subreddit, but those places are the best to ensure we're able to track your issues and get you personal help.

Thank you!


Public Service Announcements from BioWare

For those with audio issues...

PSA: Please ensure *ALL* your audio devices are set to 16bit/48k. Switching between devices with different settings is known to cause sample rate issues (speed up/slow down/artifacting).

This includes Analog, USB and Bluetooth devices.

You can find out more info here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/how-to-change-sound-control-panel-settings-in/5a70718b-7ecf-4547-a64a-22efda8da0c2?auth=1

Keep in mind that because of the many different hardware options out there, your process to modify these settings may be different per device. SOURCE


When reporting a bug or issue, we encourage you to use the following template:

**SUMMARY:** Summarize the problem in a short sentence.  

**BUG/ISSUE:** Explain exactly what the problem is, how it's affecting you, the game, etc.   

**REPRODUCTION:** If possible, write out the steps that led to the problem in the first place.  

**TECHNICAL INFORMATION:** Your platform, operating system, hardware, etc.   

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:** Include screenshots or a video here, link to them.   

Just copy and paste, and fill out as much as possible.


Please review these updates from BioWare.

An Update from Chad Robertson, Head of Live Service which discusses potential issues that have already been fixed in the launch build. He also mentions their server status page.

Post-Launch Roadmap from Ben Irving, Lead Producer of Anthem. He also discussed how to retrieve your rewards for preordering or purchasing Legion of Dawn and also provided some clarification on things he said during the the last stream on crafting here.


Exceptions to the Active Megathread Clause can be granted on a case-by-case basis for posts including high quality discussion threads, PSAs, guides, informative suggestions, and some satire.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the subreddit's policy on spoilers, which you can find here. We understand the hype will be at maximum levels but still please follow our rules, be excellent to each other, and enjoy the game.

See you out there, Freelancers!

Did this happen after you crafted and equipped it?

I've been reading through a lot of these bugs, errors and issues and wanted to let everyone know that quite a few of these will be fixed/improved in the patch this week such as the audio issues, loading times, crashes and many more. I'll create a post for the patch notes in the coming days once they're ready to go.
