Bottom line = Now it worked

Thanks for all the effort nonetheless! (unless you guys did something just now) :)

Sweet! Yw

It does not I'm afraid. As mentioned before I (and others) do NOT have the problem of missing challenges in the UI or being unable to enter the tomb.

For my main it looks like this:

- Challenge shows completed correctly

- Mission journal shows challenge completion correctly and now asks me to "Explore the Tomb of Yvenia"

- Entering the Tomb works FINE and also shows the correct completed progress when doing so.

The issue is AFTER entering the Tomb. In order to actually "Explore the Tomb" you have to interact with the sarcophugas inside, just like the other three tombs. In the Tomb of Yvenia though this interaction is not possible for me. The "Hold F" simply does not appear.

Glad you like it - it's one of my favourite scores to have worked on, and Sarah is pretty much the coolest person ever. Such a fun time :)

Hey Jar. Any updates? I'm anxious to get back to actually playing.

lol. Yeah I thought I responded, sorry.

From Live Ops QA:

They aren't blocked. They can still complete the challenges by looking at the Challenge instead of the Journal and entering the Tomb when the Challenge itself appears complete. They will just see "Explore Tomb of ____" in the tracker on the top regardless of their Completion status for the Challenge.

The AR panel when they attempt to enter the tomb will also show the accurate status of the challenge and anything else they need to complete to be able to enter the Tomb.

Let me know if that works!

I have been able to enter and complete the other three tombs, but there is nothing to interact with in the Tomb of Yvenia. All challenges for this one are done, and can enter, just nothing to do. Hoping we can get passed this!

I'd like to add here that the bug that completely blocks me (no interaction possible within Tomb of Yvenia) is pilot bound. My main at level 19 is the one affected.

I rushed a new pilot to level 3 and freeplay, went to the Tomb and entered it (a text said it wasn't possible yet, but the female voice said I completed the challenge etc). In the tomb my level 3 pilot could immediately greet the guardian by interacting with the sarcophugas despite not even having the critical mission yet.

Unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem for my main character :( I completed every available contract now and did some stronghold runs and nothing made a difference either. Aside from aimless freeplay and more stronghold runs I'm completely blocked now, so I hope this can be (spot) fixed soon for my main.

EDIT: I even get items when someone else comes into the tomb and interacts with the sarcophugas, so it's not the instance itself that I'm opening that is completely bugged....

Happens to me a fair amount. Windows sounds continue to work but Anthem is silent till I restart the game. Using USB headphones

Yeah, that is the dropout bug. Sorry. Day 1 patch should reduce the occurrence a LOT - and we continue to try to repro more ways it can happen. Thanks for your patience, I know it sucks!

If this patch already happened the sound bug is still present.

Just happened to me. Windows sound continues to work but I have to restart Anthem to get it's sound to work again.

No, we managed to fix some of the reasons this could occur in the early access build. The day 1 patch has a major improvement (feb 22) and we continue to try to find more 'holes' that this can pop through in the audio system.

Well that's good to hear. People often forget the human and don't fully understand the reality, thanks for being so upfront and transparent it really goes a long way. Just send a blank message if EA locks you guys in the office and we'll know what it means!

I'll blink twice :P

No that makes sense - 'Pilot' == set of server persistent data. We are still looking at spot fixing, will update if something comes down from our live ops team!

Thank you u/BioWareJer

Thanks! I think the general narrative on 'InTerneT 1S DanGerouS!' has changed a LOT within our (and other) companies.

We need thick skin as it's not always constructive, but I truly believe that if we can engage with folks when they are pissed off, in the way you described, that over time people will realize that we are humans, who aren't perfect, and are working really hard to make things better. One can dream!

Aww you're making me blush lol.
