I'm...sort of in. I got up to pilot voice selection screen, but keep getting booted back in to menu. Progress made, though!
EDIT: I'm in!

It's not 2010 anymore, and Bioware/EA is not some up and coming indie dev trying to launch their first MMO title. This is pretty pathetic.

It goes into the main screen, gives me the "max capacity" message, but then it connects, and it proceeds to load the actual game, and then it crashes. It either crashes and locks up or crashes back to the xbox dashboard. It's done this 6 times in a row and I've even cold-booted my xbox. mine was doing that for 25 mins. Now I press A and it says connecting then everything on the screen disappears and I'm left looking at the back ground.

I'm curious...does anyone in this thread actually know what it takes to scale servers to account for thousands upon thousands of people trying to enter beyond "they should have known"?

It doesn't really matter if the servers are full or not. I've gotten past that message and started doing settings then to a loading screen. But the game crashes EVERY TIME I get there. 12 crashes and counting. It may be the server is full and it's messing with stuff but I get a loading screen then the ea and frostbite screen from the beginning screen then back to the loading screen then crash Everytime To give you hope, I had that for about 15 minutes, it just logged me in. Persist. Lol now it says logging into services then that message goes away and it's just the title screen. Nothing is happening. What is my luck

mine was doing that for 25 mins. Now I press A and it says connecting then everything on the screen disappears and I'm left looking at the back ground. yeah, that's what it's doing for me now. Says it's connecting, then back to the main screen with no message or anything. I have to go to work soon anyway, so hopefully it's resolved when I get home.

Important Tip!
James Berg @jamesbergcanada For anyone who has received a connection error trying to access the #Anthem Demo, you'll need to relaunch the game. The team is scaling up servers and folks are pouring in, so hopefully it wont' be long for you!

Some clarification...
Jesse Anderson @darokaz If you are getting any type of server messages when trying to launch the #AnthemVIPDEMO it's fine to keep trying until you get in. If you hit an infinite loading screen though you'll need to reboot your game.

Know what I'm saying? Well, again. it's been 50 minutes into a 72 hr demo...some, but not all people with VIP access are in, and I'm seeing "FAIL!" from some people and I legitimately have ZERO experience with game dev or what it takes to balance thousands of people trying to access something at once. Per Casey Hudson's twitter, they are "scaling up Anthem for the very first time"...is the industry standard and expectation now that a demo, released into the wild for the time, be completely without issues?

I can see the pretty launch screen but without command prompts or control over anything. Incidentally, the EA Answers site is now crashing too under the weight.

I think it's most people with VIP accees not getting in. There's already news articles about it and even the streamers and majority of Twitter are having the same issues. I'm reading everything and haven't seen one person saying they're in. Maybe they're too busy playing ? 🤷 They're starting to trickle in now...

If memory serves, someone from Bio mentioned that the VIP demo is about 6 weeks old and branched out from the main. .. probably mentioned in one of those live stream demos.
So, if my memory is correct... this is unsurprising. Plus, Bio mentioned that they focused on the visuals.....

It either crashes and locks up or crashes back to the xbox dashboard. It's done this 6 times in a row and I've even cold-booted my xbox. Seems a premature assessment to call it a buggy mess. Let's watch Game As A Service deal with this in real time, shall we? Should be educational.

Finally got in. Made it to Javelin and launched mission. Mission stopped loading at 90 percent and hung. Reset game and now will not connect at all. PS4.
Sigh.
