Is there a way to reduce the intensity of the blue flashes you get when you take damage? Im a epileptic (very controlled/mild case) and those effects are almost triggering. Sorry for my english, but they are best described as blue stutters.
That's concerning, I'll make sure we get something filed! 😊
Hello Anthem Community!
Thanks for being here!
We’re hard at work to be ready for our public demo weekend, starting tomorrow, 2/1. This week has been focused on improving the player experience in the demo – that focus was based on our learnings and your feedback. For those of you that played last weekend, you should see significant improvement in multiple areas over last week.
While we are confident that these changes will improve this weekend’s experience for players, we’re also cognizant that we may see recurring and new issues. Our team will again be working around the clock to deal with any problems that arise so that all players can enjoy the game. As always, you can use Answers HQ for help.
Our ongoing scale testing this week has gone well. We’re con...
Read moreWell, I guess I and many others won't be able to play the Open Demo either since it'll be in the same state as the VIP demo. Just seems like we wasted our money on a preorder bonus that simply doesn't work for us. And given that this issue still exists with another Frostbite game (BFV), I really don't have much confidence that this 95% loading issue will ever be fixed. I wish you all luck with the launch, though.
Yeah. I get it.
We have the 95% issue solved, just to be clear. But it does suck that you guys got screwed for time and money invested. The best I can do is offer you some glimmer of hope that it's temporary!
Hope to see you in Bastion!
This was what I needed to read, that the specific bug is being addressed and won't be present in the final build, even if it's through a patch. Of course I hope that this weekend demo doesn't have the 95% bug, but if it does, I won't freet. It's frustrating, but by now we ( the VIPs) already know how to "bypass it". We should be able to enjoy the demo. The problem has to be fixed for the launch and this is the first time I see some indication of it being identified, not present in the gold build and if it rears its ugly head, fixable. Thank you for the info, no more cancelling the pre-order for me.
And to all BioWare, thank you for Anthem. I do think you've got something very special on your hands. Thank you!
Awesome. Thanks!
stop dividing by zero, bioware! :P
Yes, I would if I could!
Yes sir! I can say that short stint at BioWare Austin was the greatest job I have ever had; but getting laid off pushed me to finish my degree and be where I am today. Still have a few buddies that work down there and am always rooting for you peeps!
Good to hear, thanks!
Most of us fans appreciate your hard work it trying to fix these issues. Bugs are a reality, and while the 95% issue was kind of annoying, my friends and I still got to play and the actual game is f**king phenomenal<3
Yuss. Thanks!
If I pre ordered the game thru gamestop will I still be able to play early thru EA Access?
You would need an EA Access membership in order to use the Play First Trial of 10 hours of Anthem close to launch. Preordering through GameStop is an entirely separate entity and as such, doesn't affect it :)
I hope this will fix the loading screen issues. Thats basically the most critical bug in the Demo.
And maby the Audio issue? But that's something you can live with as you can still finish the mission and then restart the game...
We identified one major problem (a resource wasn't being released under some conditions, so the level could not unload) and prepped a fix on Saturday, tested all day Sunday/Monday and it went through certification shortly after that.
There are some other fixes that should help the game recover when there are service errors (which was also sometimes presenting as 'infinite loads').
All that said, we reproduced and fixed some problems... though given the narrow amount of time we had to turn around a fix, we might not have caught everything. 😊
Not sure if this is the best place to ask this but, here I am. My friend got this on Xbox and is starting to wish he got it for PC. Is it possible to call someone and have his pre-order switched to a PC download?
Quite the predicament, although it should still be able to resolved with enough patience.
If your friend had purchased it via the Xbox store or via Xbox.com he can try go into his order history here and look for Anthem and cancel it. If he cannot do that, he should try and get in touch with Xbox support via the "Get Order Help" link that you would see on that order page.
This is me guessing that it is via Xbox directly though, but ideally as the game is still in its preorder phase you can cancel it and buy it elsewhere. Best of luck to your friend!
Can you disable ALL of the HUD?
Including damage numbers and enemy health bars and red icon above their heads?
I believe you can, although not fully - I think some things such as crosshair might remain.
Hey, I played the shit out of the closed demo but I would love to try out the Interceptor, I just don't want to open the demo again just to realize I'm still level 15 with Storm being my chosen Javelin.
Sorry if this question has been answered before.
Thanks.
Due to the issues that we had within the VIP Demo, all participants from the VIP Demo will be able to use all four Javelins in the Open Demo.
Hello Totalfps, Do you know if it is possible to customize button mappings on PS4, to what extent and specifically rebind L/R2 with L/R1?
Will try and look into this further for an updated answer, although I am fairly sure that there won't be custom button mapping, if it helps - I believe there are alternate presets available that move the buttons around a little. Will try get a definitive response soon.
