I would love to submit something. but... im not even able to load the game at all :))))))) id love if someone gave a word on this issue on your side, and figure it out asap and make a hotfix.
My day 1 experience is now gone, and my weekend i looked so much forward to just looks bleaker and bleaker by the minute
We'd be happy to help you out. Do you mind submitting a report with us at help.ea.com?
No problem so far. Just the first loading screen of the game was buggy.
My complaint is unconsistency of voices. Especially cyhper voices making too much echoe and metallic sound. Even merchants(face to face) talks weird sometimes. I can feel the room and mic but not all voices like this. I guess you guys record some voices with different equipment or different time maybe beginning of the development.
That shouldn't be the case, is there any way to capture a video of this? I would love to hear what you are hearing.
I'm having the issue as well. I had sound and everything was working fine and then in the middle of a mission, the game sound just stopped. I still got the origin achievement pop-up sound so I don't think it's a hardware issue. Restarting the game brings sound back there's still a bug there somewhere. This has happened twice so far.
Fun game, by the way.
Thank you! Yes that is the issue - it's almost completely fixed in the day 1 patch. Thanks for your patience!
Great to hear you guys are working on the audio dropout! It happened a LOT more for me during the demo. Only once so far as of early access.
Good to hear, it was a bit like plugging holes in a dam. We have nearly eliminated it in the day 1 patch and are hard at work to catch any remaining causes! Thanks for your patience!
So if I am understanding correctly are we supposed to get 40000 each time we unlock a javelin? Because I got 1 jav and 40000 at level 2, and i got a second javelin but no additional coin at level 8
I don't think that's how it works, I think it's the first time you play, not connected to acquiring a Javelin.
Audio dropping randomly. Seems to be the same whether I'm using headset or speakers. Looking forward to patch repair.
Sorry! Thanks for your patience :)
Wait does that mean that Nothing has been patched yet since the Demo and that everyone is running an Day1 Unpatch version of the game, where performance still suck ass ? If that's what this is, that is very f**king stupid on the part of the Whole Bioware team.
Nope not that at all! It actually looked like this in development:
Demo build ---------->cert----->release
Launch build --------------->cert------>release
Early Access build ----------------->cert------>release
Day 1 patch -------------------------------->cert-------->release
The launch build was always going to be updated, but it's important to get the FULL game to certification for Sony and MS to test in it's entirety.
So basically every chance we get, we prioritized the most important work and often had to replicate it up to four times to ensure the fix was implemented everywhere. It's a ton of work, with thousands of fixes/changes being added at each step. Does that help explain it a bit?
(Not OP)
Playing the launch build now. I had alt-f4ed while in options while attempting to see if there was dualshock 4 support (does not appear so). Relaunched the game and it was in permanent chipmunk mode. Pre-rendered movie at the start was sped up also.
Sample rate issue, most likely. Ensure your sample rate is set to 48k on all your audio output devices.
I had the same problem in the demo. I was able to fix it by switching my audio playback device in windows to a second wireless headphone option. One is hands-free and the other is stereo. Stereo worked while hands free made all audio in slow motion. I use Sony wh-1000xm3 headphones.
Thank you, this is a great clue!
So what about the sound not working whatsoever. Even on a restart. It also seems that since the sound stopped working for anthen, that Mass Effect: Andromeda also now has no sound. Nothing is wrong with my sound configuration and everything else like videos and speaker test work fine. Seems like the bug has infected other games by BioWare/Frostbite and is coming from Anthem. I can't even enjoy another game to get over the fact that i can't enjoy Anthem!
Ughhh. Sounds like a sample rate/out device setting that got changed. A bug can't 'infect' one game from another, it can however, change a setting that would apply to another game (which I guess is basically the same :()
So if you launch the game, can you test your audio output settings while it's running? Curious what your configuration is?
Playing on headphones on PC, everything set to stereo/headphones.
Maybe I'm wrong and there was nothing missing as I have subtitles on and there was no subtitles for the 'missing' voice.
But the stuff Owen was saying made no sense, it was like hearing one side of a telephone conversation, he was obviously responding to what someone else said.
I wonder if you were hearing Owen speaking to another player? Were you in Freeplay with other folks?
2 Major Bugs:
u/BioWareJerWhile using sony mx 1000 m3 headset cant hear any game music/voice after the connection screen
Cant find free-roam and strong hold tab in the expeditions ( cant see the UI for the challenges ).
Ensure your sample rate and bit depth are set correctly after you are in game, and then restart. I will pass on the UI feedback to the right folks, thanks!
Let me know if that doesn't fix the sound issue!
I'll ask around, I seem to recall there being a bug on this - it may have been fixed in the next patch. 😊
If you're coming in a significant amount of time after the mission has started, that's definitely a bug. (A a note, Stronghold matchmaking windows are quite different). 😊
Question - if specifically using the Quickplay to fill someone else's mission, is it possible to be added into a mission later than at the beginning? As that would make sense.
Yes, for quick play you can join in at any time after the initial matchmaking window. 😊
I was having this same problem and pretty much entirely fixed it by moving the game from my HDD to my SSD. I'm not sure if there's a certain point when the game thinks the team is all loaded and it starts the mission? Might not be waiting long enough? Not sure.
But yeah, u/Thewtfpanda if you have an SSD with 60+ GB of space free I'd try moving Anthem there. Completely solved this issue for me.
When everyone starts around the same time we do try to wait until everyone is ready, but there is a timeout.
I think we'll need to dig into it more to figure out what is going on and what we can do about it. 😊
Thanks for all the information folks!
There's always a chance, yes 😁
Great vid
