Using the site on mobile works fine, but on mobile it says I don't have access to the demo and that I'll need to play it (which I have been for hours now) first to access the codes.

Yeah we're seeing this issue for folks. This is still actively being looked into.

• ⁠Javelins - everything looks and feels amazing. The weight of actions and fluidity of motion is next level.

• ⁠Gear - cooldowns feel just right. Really liked what was shown and eager to play with builds. Inventory and salvaging definitely needs quality of life improvements however.

• ⁠Creatures - would like to see some more obvious indicators of elites vs. the higher lvl versions of mobs.

• ⁠Flight controls - played on PC. Easily my biggest complaint. Spent a good deal of time trying to tweak but nothing felt as responsive as it should. Having three separate settings to tweak flight sensitivity, none of which are terribly well explained is probably something that should be streamlined. Seems strange that there is such a difference between the ground look controls and flying. The issues are magnified significantly underwater, where navigation was nearly impossible.

• ⁠Difficulty - most of the time, especially as colossus, the difficulty felt jus...

I had this happen on PS4 right after being able to set initial settings and choose a male or female voice. Game then gave connection error. closed and loaded the game. Load loop with "Error retrieving Anthem services data." Over a short 2-5 sec loading screen then bioware/frostbite logos. rinse repeat till reloading the game.

Yeah known issue that we're investigating.

Can you please extend the time since we can’t play today.

Also I don’t understand I’m on Xbox. Some of my friends are able to play while it just says connection problem for me. I don’t understand

Not sure what exactly the plan is, but we'll look into our options.

I had to force-quit the game after the infinite loading issue and now I can't start it at all. I did a Repair and checked for Updates and I'm still getting nothing. Any time I click Play in Origin right now it minimizes the Origin client for a few seconds, then it restores the window and does nothing as if I'd not even clicked a button. Anything known about this?

A few of my friends were having this problem (which we are looking into) and some had some limited success in completely restarting their computer and then being able to reconnect. Not sure that is a solution for everyone though as it seems to be potentially account related and not machine related.

UPDATE at 9:37pm Pacific: We’ve made changes that should improve Xbox connectivity for the VIP Demo. Anyone still seeing problems is recommended to restart their console.

We’re currently tracking issues for the Anthem VIP Demo and the team is working very diligently to quickly resolve them.Here's the current list of the most reported and known issues affecting some players.

  1. Infinite loading screens when launching the game or entering an expedition.
  2. Unable to get past the Anthem title screen.
  3. Some Xbox One players are unable to access the Anthem VIP demo.
  4. Some players are unable to access their Anthem VIP demo friends codes.

We will continue to update this thread with new information as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience.

I do enjoy the game.. alot.. you guys nailed combat in a huge way.. it's very free and exhilarating. A buddy and I have been playing since 11am and are powering through the loading times. Also, would like to note as I haven't seen it, that the mission where you have to talk to the guy that took a jav and we had to rescue him, the next portion to advance the story starts with a cutscene that freezes with music..

Yeah just saw that one myself, and thank you for the report. Also thanks for the positive feedback, combat is my bag!

Yeah ongoing investigation into Xbox issues at the time you reported this.

I was watching DansGaming's stream earlier, and virtually every time he went into an opening with multiple enemies, all they did was stand in the same position (minus some occasional shuffling around within a small radius) the entire time and shoot.

Even if there's a group of 5-6 enemies, they, as a group, stay rooted in place.

At one point he landed on a ledge than had an enemy. The enemy was on the very edge of the ledge, and was knocked down violently, but stayed on the ledge, partially floating over the edge while it was down. Then it stood up and just resumed the idle animation, completely unaware he was there. He hit it again, still idling, then he hit it again and it died.

EDIT: I just watched another streamer attack the same enemy in the same location, it's a quarter circle stone formation by some water with boulders in it in the area with the Scars and the waterfalls. Once again, even though he made multiple separate attacks up close against the en...

Thanks for the detailed feedback and specific cart3r_hall, the AI problems are something that I mentioned in another thread but we already looked into after this build. For the other stuff I'll pass this along to the creature team to see if there are engagement improvement we can look into.

An issue that I'm having on Xbox is that it loads to about 10% then jumps to 100%. After that the EA and Frostbite logo shows, then an error message pops up and goes away. It just does that over and over. It only does that for me. I hope this is on your radar :)

Yeah the Error loading Anthem live service data was a known issue being looked into. Thank you Vanmman.

Not sure Captain, but it's certainly a good idea. I'm sure it's already being discussed. I'd keep an eye on twitter for updates there.

Hey Bio, on PS4 I’ve been in the error loop all day. I’m hearing it could have something to do with my Origin/EA account? Is there a fix I can do on my end in regards to that or is this just still an ongoing issue? Any info is greatly appreciated.

By error loop I mean right from the title screen. I haven’t got into the actual game yet.

Don't think there is any fix on your end, seeing this loop for a lot of folks and it was being looked into.

Hey u/BioCamden there is a bug where if you are in the air and you pick something up, which would prevent you from flying normally (like the shaper shards), then you can still fly around just not boost. Thanks for your efforts and those also working to keep this Demo going. Love y'all!

Thanks for the report rh3xis, good catch.

Buddy on PS4 keeps getting unable to access server. Did he enter the code wrong or not finish the process correctly?

I have a friend code just in case he did it wrong but if we end up getting it working I plan on giving it away. I guess you can use it three times unless I read wrong?

u/biocamden

Not sure TalkingPixels, when I had checked about when you posted this there were still PS4 issues ongoing being looked into.

I pre-ordered and linked my PSN to my Origin account, but the Friend Code page is completely blank. It just says "VIP Demo FRIEND PASS" and then the bottom of the page "About Features" etc. There's no content on the page, is this an active issue being tracked as well? I can provide a screenshot if need be.

Yes that problems with the page are something that others have been experiencing a lot today. Potentially because of load on the site. I had this problem earlier today.
