As much as you and the other BW people are trying to help, a lot of the problems are coming from EA’s customer service. For me, I was able to get a new code generated as I applied it to the wrong account. Someone else with the same issue didn’t get the same treatment and was told that nothing could be done.
I know it’s too late but EA need to have words with their employees so everyone gets the same treatment and aren’t palmed off when issues like this arise. It would probably stop an influx of people asking you guys to sort the problem too. Giving you more time to do other things. Just saying.
That’s a good point Sonks thanks for the heads up. I’ll pass the feedback on to them.
Hi, again!
It was an eventful VIP Demo weekend for BioWare. As I shared on Saturday, it started rocky, but we stabilized that afternoon and maintained it until we turned servers off Sunday evening. We learned a ton about our game, our service, and you, our community. We’re working hard to ensure everyone can enjoy the game exactly as we’ve designed it.
I’m particularly proud to be part of our amazing team across Austin and Edmonton. Their dedication and passion showed this weekend. Our war rooms in both locations were hot-beds of activity 24×7 all 3 days. We had fantastic support from EA and our partners.

Ty ty!
Where is this?? I wanna see it!!!
Thanks for being vocal with the community. I know people are complaining about bugs right now, and some arent doing it in a constructive way, but I am grateful that you guys are here in the trenches so to speak.
Thank you Muzzah, glad to be here with you my friend :).
u/BioCamden I believe I’ve found a cause of 95% loading. My total freezing occurred directly after I tried to replay a mission grouped with my friend in squad. Keep trying to make a separate post but it’s being deleted.
My EA account is Maniacal_Ginger if you would like to take a look at its state / account details.
In a nutshell: playing fine , I complete all missions on my own> squad up and play dungeon fine, > attempt to assist friend with mission and suddenly I can’t log in for the rest of the demo. Definitely seems a big coincidence. I’d wager good money this is one cause of 95% freezing!!
I went from being able to play fairly reliably to not at all. I suspect something altered my account state so it couldn’t reload into a new expedition. Can you please confirm you’ve seen this :)
Hey ManiacalGinger, thank you for the additional info that is awesome. Unfortunately I don't have access to the tools necessary to look into specific accounts. That being said I know the team is actively looking into this now. Not sure if there's a good eta or identified fix yet.
Unfortunately the poorly optimized PC performance goes beyond the flight controls and UI. I am referring in regards to this post here https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/akge5c/the_pc_port_of_anthem_was_an_afterthought_with/?st=jrg0xjtj&sh=59728776 which has been upvoted to 1,671 as of 1/27/2019. Also in regards to this article https://www.pcgamer.com/anthem-performance-and-settings/ . This sucks because I'm not the only one experience this so it isn't just related to my hardware which doesn't struggle to play other open world games like Destiny 2, the Witcher, The Division at max settings with at the lowest 60 fps. I had high hopes for Anthem because I am getting quite bored with Destiny 2 but if the game isn't optimized as it should be there's no real point in purch...
Thanks for clarifying, so unfortunately I'm not going to be able to give a much better answer than Ben did here (https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/ak0g9g/no_spoilers_the_pc_version_is_an_afterthought/ef1bpsp/). We're definitely going to be discussing and reviewing potential options for a lot of the aspects that you described. We'll certainl...

I have just one suggestion; private Freeplay.
It is so hard to get a squad coordinated irl and the squad slots in an expedition fill up immediately in a public space, so private Freeplay is basically necessary to allow your mates to join you in a session in progress.
Cheers and keep up the great work!
Ugh that is so awesome Nfujinaka I can’t wait for my kids to be old enough to play with me. What a cool experience.
I actually did run into a similar situation with my friends in freeplay where we had to back out, form a party, and re-enter freeplay. That’s not a bad idea but I have no idea how much work it would be. Thank you for the suggestion.
Is there any news from you guys about improved performance? I would love to hear that this is all going to be a distant memory for the open beta and full release.
Hey Phabio thanks for the comment.
This one is tough to answer because it’s difficult (at least for me) to quantify what optimization we’ve done in the time since this Demo build was branched.
I mentioned this in another comment but hardware optimization and performance testing is part of our regular dev cycle, though primarily on the engineering/programming/VFX side of things. We had a lot of hardening tasks focused on all of these after Alpha. That isn’t to say we got it right, or that we are where we need to be, but I imagine that we will talk about performance a lot this week to see where we’re at now versus where we were with this build.
Can you kick it over to the designers to better optimize the game for PC? The game is poorly optimized which makes it seem like PC was an afterthought when developing the game.
Hey Joker, when you say optimize for PC which aspect are you referring to specifically? Like performance on your actual hardware? Just want to make sure I’m capturing your sentiment correctly because I’ve also heard optimize PC flight controls or optimize the UI.

It would be cool if you could use a pistol while using the shield. Maybe a component that lets you do this?
Colossus can’t currently use pistols hrmmm... but that’s a cool idea.
I’m bad at all this, but res is short for resurrect like repair ur teammates right? Because if so, I wasn’t able to repair ever when in my ult as an interceptor. I hope this becomes available during full release, that would make an interceptor so much more valuable to a team!
Yes short for resurrect/repair, sorry old gamer habits die hard.
