Apologies for hijacking this, but I would also have something that's out of your wheelhouse and yet is affecting dozens (to say the least) of players who are using a Dolby Vision display with their PC and getting a black screen.

There are some workarounds to get the game to work on HDR only but they require to use Borderless instead of Fullscreen, which in itself lowers performance a bit. Would it be possible to get some developer working on a fix, perhaps alongside NVIDIA? Thank you in advance!

Yeah it looks like it's filed through the proper channels - I can't offer any more info as it's so far outside my area of expertise. I do know that everything being submitted on the answers site is being tracked.

Can we do something about the brightness of a marksman rifles? I recently got my first masterwork weapon and was so excited to test it out. However the moment was dulled when I found out that the light coming from each shot onto the screen was exceedingly blinding which caused nausea and dizziness.

The VFX team is aware of this now and agrees it's too much, especially in dark environments - I don't know what the outcome will be but thank you for the feedback!

Thanks for reply, someone commented and said it was just for masterwork and legendary. Could you pass along the feedback to include at least epics into that?

Edit: also, where do they go if I miss picking one up?

I think your end of expedition screen. That would be most logical.

Could you maybe see if we can get some official word on this? I see a lot of people commenting about it, but nothing has been said about it at all... Video here if you can pass it along to the right people. Some sort of comment from Bioware would make people feel a lot better.

Can you launch through the launch bay?

It is not related to firefights because i just had the sound bug occur during a loading screen. This not only cuts out in game sound, but all audio output from my computer including discord/youtube/netflix.

This isn't just during combat, it's anytime. It's just that 90% of the time you're in combat.

That is true - Anything can technically cause that bug to happen (it could be playing under the load screen but inaudible) - thanks for the info though!

I don't know how, but I went back to the tomb to try and see if anything changed and viola! I can now progress on the challenges. I'm a teensy bit overleveled and overgeared for it by now (closing in on 20s and ~200ish power) but hell, I don't mind re-grinding the quest I've basically completed 6x by now xD Thank you so much for your live support and effort! One question before I let you go, though --

I've been asking basically every rep for Anthem since it was announced - can I upgrade from base game to LoD edition after launch? I got the base game when I upgraded my GPU and I didn't want to have to pay for the full game over again (picking it up for PS4 to play with coworkers)

And uh.. Do we have a solid 'maybe' for cross-saves?

I don't know of an upgrade path in your case - sorry. I am however very glad to hear that you got sorted out - I hope they were able to fix your account on the server side! And no idea for saves either - sorry!

I think certain rarities remain picked up - I would have to double check with the design team to be sure what the process is there.

The beginnings of an actual build. More work to do but this is what GM3 numbers look like.

Btw, weapon is Avenging Herald *2

Loadout largely consists of +Crit Damage, +Heavy Pistol Damage, along with masterwork bonuses from Thousand Suns & gunslingers mark

edit: Highjacking my own post to ask /u/biowarejer if avenging herald was intended to be stacked against itself. +400% weapon damage doesn't seem right and my abilities aren't even worth using anymore besides aoe primers for my squadmates

Whoa - sounds pretty crazy. I'll let design know, as I have no idea!

I'd like to hear more music while playing

Tagging /u/BioWareJer in something actually related to Audio for once!

The thread hasn't gotten too much traction, but I feel this is important feedback I'd like you reach you. Personally I think having the soundtrack playing more often would increase the gameplay experience a lot!

So we have a pretty dynamic contextual music system. It responds to a multitude of parameters (it's actually sets of huge 12 channel music files with overlays being triggered based on gameplay).

Enemy type Enemy proximity How many enemies Whether or not you are being targeted How much badass stuff you are doing (headshots, abilities, melee)

The system aggregates all of those and controls what is playing based on them.

Then on specific missions where we know exactly what is happening we script specific music sometimes. So it's something we can tune in live service, and even based on power level/difficulty setting etc. I will pass this feedback on to our music team and see what we can do!

I'll show this to the VFX team, it's possible that's it a bug.

If any of the devs are like your cats, then maybe go with the above suggestion and feed them coffee.

Hey man thanks for clarifying. I realize some people don't get the answer they like but I appreciate you posting here. I sure hope Atmos makes it in sometime, and if you are ever able to share news on that many of us will be checking into it.

Thanks, and enjoying Anthem using Windows Sonic for now. Appreciate your time.

Cool, thanks!

I know you're a busy guy, just pinging you as this is a huge issue effecting my buddy. He practically cannot play unless I'm on to be leader to access missions.

All I know is that it's a known issue, and being looked at. Sorry for the hassle, I know it sucks!

Any luck with this? :)

Yep, but I'm not sure what the communication plan is. I'll defer to them :)

Logitech speakers plugged into the motherboard I'm currently using headphones. I've called EA support been through a whole slew of workarounds and still no sound... I'm a little sad about it.

Cool - what kind of headphones? Wired? Can you screenshot me the output settings for both your speakers and headphones from the windows system panel?

  1. Click Start , and then click Control Panel.
  2. In Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound.
  3. Under Sound, click Manage audio devices.
  4. Should be able to see what's going on per device by opening each one

So this is not coming out before the patch friday?

I mean, are you telling me I cant play until then?

Yeah - sorry but the entering Javelin issue is hitting people after the last mission but I personally can't help with that other than reporting another instance of it. Sorry for the hassle, I know it totally sucks.

Hrm. Most of the issues with no sound at all have been related to sample rate/bit depth. What type of headphones/speakers are you using? USB? Bluetooth? Wired? The more info the easier for me diagnose :)
