The team is aware that some players have been experiencing more kicks from Freeplay recently than usual. The team has been working on this over the weekend to find a resolution to what is causing it.
I will update as soon as I have new information. Thank you for your patience.
any news on a fix for this bug?
because you cant play when you get kicked every 5 mins in freeplay and there are players coming back to get f**ked again by the connection issuses so they will never come back again.
No new updates as of yet. I know the team worked over the weekend to understand why it’s happening and I will update as soon as I have more information.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
Much appreciated. Besides one ctd it's been the same every time in my case, and what seems to be the most common one. Getting kicked to the news screen with the message "The server has shut down". It happened consistently from around 11am GMT which is when I started playing and continued being like that until last time I was online about 24 hours later. Just in freeplay sessions with the new events active, and I had either started or gotten close to an event every time. Only difference was that in the beginning I could only stay on for 4 max 5 minutes, and by the end of those 24 hours I was up to 20 minutes a few times, rarely less than 10. Curious if its gonna be even longer online before kick when I log on in a few..

Thank you for the extra context. To my understanding, the increased reports of this are only in Freeplay, but let us (or EAHelp) know if there is anything unique on your end.
Like I said, the team is looking into this.

No. The Luck inscription change will not be live until Update 1.3
Hey there. The source of the "Pilot Data Error" message actually varies a bit, since that message is tied to more than one thing. We do have some fixes coming in our next update on live for some of these errors, however, if you are consistently hitting one, your best bet would be to raise a ticket with our customer experience team so they can look into your individual account and instances.
This is really cool!
Just to reaffirm my Tweet from yesterday, a change went live that was intended for a later date. That change was since corrected. Again, sorry for the confusion.
Don’t give up on the game.
Don't plan to.
So bioware doesn't like to post here anymore or they just forget to?
We still check here, but the PTS updates are primarily taking place on our forums. We appreciate all the feedback no matter where it comes from.
Thank you all for watching. We really do want to do more of these in the future.
I’m not really sure what your question is, but Jesse has been doing frequent updates on the PTS over at our AHQ forums.
These accusations of silence are actually quite disappointing as I don’t believe they are true. We HAVE been communicating what we can right now, which is details on the PTS and gathering feedback on it. Our official forum for that is Answers HQ.
We 100% understand people want to know what is coming next and when the official release of the Cataclysm will be across platforms. We aren’t unaware that those are details people want. We just simply aren’t ready to share them yet, but we will as soon as possible.
I’m sorry if this causes more frustration, and we do care about how you all are invested in Anthem for the future.
I agree. I like most of the stuff added on the PTS. There is a lot of content there. I am rooting all the way for Anthem and Bioware. But if we are going to be testing and providing feedback, at least let us know what they are actually changing, and give us some thoughts on the reasons they are being changed. Talk to us and we will be happy while we wait for the new content to be dropped.
Trust me, I agree with you. We would stand to gain nothing by hiding changes from you all playing the PTS because it would impede the feedback we hope to get on it.
Thanks for this. Jesse and I are looking into this and will provide an update with some more details ASAP.
As a reminder, we never intend to leave out changes in our patch notes. Sometimes stuff slips through the cracks, but we try to always keep a running addendum and update the notes on any changes we discover after they're published. Sorry for any frustration it caused.
EDIT Updated changes noted here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Anthem-PTS-General-Discussion/Melee-damage-changes-on-PTS/td-p/7978734
The lack of reply to that one should be speaking volumes right now....
I'm not trying to ignore anyone. We just aren't ready to communicate some of those details yet. Right now our focus is on the Cataclysm through feedback on the PTS.
Will relevant posts be RT'd from the official account? Many folks aren't going to know about/think to track down your personal accounts for info and will look to the official channels for information and...there's not much there without knowing that folks need to go into the Answers page and find the correct threads. Seems like it'd be much better to centralize social posts via RT's through the official channel to keep that information readily available if you're not going to use the official channel itself for those posts.
That is fair feedback. You should also see more information like that from the main account as well.
Alright thanks. Didn't know there are news updates on EA Answers, will save that site.
Most of the updates are being posted to that forum, correct. Jesse and I also share those updates (with a link) on Twitter when we have them.

The Cataclysm is currently on our Public Test Server (PC only right now). We have not announced an official release yet for the content.
Right now, the team has been working on it and posting updates to the PTS build for community feedback. There was also an update to the PTS today. Details on that update.
Hope this helps.
Read moreOk so I downloaded the PTS again and gave it another shot because again free and it's a better change from talking shit. What cataclysm content is exactly I don't know going into it, but I'm gonna focus just on that while going into this blind. Just gonna type my thoughts as I'm going along here too.
Starting off, I can immediately appreciate that there's been work done on improving PC optimization. After fiddling around with it for a bit, and based on suggestions from /u/ncBadrock, I have more steady FPS which is great. To me I don't care about gimmicks like 4K or SLI. Don't have it, don't care for it, and most PC gamers don't. It's a very very small and niche crowd. What does matter is whether or not I can run this at 1080p at a consistent FPS. So it's a huge plus to me that there's been more work done on that front. I mean there is still weird drops, which I'm blaming more on Frostbite, but it's getting better. Hopefully there's continued impro...
This is well thought out feedback. Thank you.

Thank you, I sent it to the team and they're looking into it.
