Bio patches remind me of that kid's song.... "you put the left patch in, you take the right patch out and shake it all about...".
When will they install a patch fix without breaking something somewhere else? Why are they unable to test the patches properly? Is insufficient staffing the culprit? Is it a laissez-faire attitude regarding QA?? Perhaps a "we'll worry about it later when we get there" mentality?

Maybe I'm being dumb, but can anyone tell me how emotes work on an xbox controller since the last update? I can't work it out at all, and I'm missing doing the robot at the end of missions! I think you need to hold down the down button on the dpad and select with the right joystick

First day of the recent patch matchmaking was a bit wonky for me but since then it is actually rather smooth and no more solo beginnings.
On another note. They must have done a lot with the graphics behind the scenes. I remeber it looking good from the start but now it seems way more detailed. More oompf in the lighting effects all of that with better streaming as well.

Typically this seemed to work for me in MEAMP … which was on the Unreal 3 engineWait what? Sorry … meant ME3MP.
Obviously, MEA was on Frostbite.
MEAMP had a very short timer that throws you into your own lobby … but not the match … after two revolutions of the timer wheel.
ME3MP would keep searching … indefinitely AFAIK … but cancelling the search and restarting it seemed to help find a lobby.

I only recently found out you can just let go. I was trying to hit the A button as well which was getting my fingers tied in knots
It's still a bit fiddly and sometimes I go up instead of down and activate my utlimate by mistake!
It would be nice to still have a few emotes on short cuts, though.

As far as I can tell, they have hit the undo button on matchmaking changes … rolling back to how things worked prior to the latest patch.
Have not tried strongholds yet … so maybe that is different, but LM and LCs are back to giving you one turn of the wheel, then putting you into a match solo, if no match occurs prior to that. Doesn't bother me … hitting cancel and relaunching worked fairly well, pre-patch.
While visually it appears to be a roll-back from the patch, there may be improvements under the hood that we can't see.
On another note, resources are back in the wild … not just limited to caves … hopefully this time, the fix is persistent.
Another thing … just a feeling, not for certain … my loot drops have markedly improved … I wonder if BioWare has already set everyone's luck to 90, just not gotten around to changing the inscriptions from luck to armor. Since I have two pilots now, I'm going to strip all the luck out of one, leaving it on the other … see if it seems to make a difference.
Another thought I've had for quite a while … the quality of my loot drops with the Interceptor are markedly better than my other Javelins. Some of my friends have been running around recently with the Interceptor and have noticed an uptick in the quality of their loot drops too.
I wonder if luck is bugged on three of the Javelins (at least on PC), working properly only on the Interceptor. I'm a test case of one … my friends up those numbers, but the sample size is still too small to draw a valid conclusion.
Maybe it is not a bug that works in all instances, perhaps certain gear/component/weapon combinations have an impact. Of course now, we have the patch changes in the mix, so it could be multiple reasons … or simply RNG. IDK.
As I said, it's just a thought … but it does seem curious that BioWare is abandoning the luck inscription … the explanation didn't ring true when I listened to the live stream. Hmmm.

Without a critical mass of online players, matchmaking is problematic. This will be a persistent issue, imo, until the player base increases. Furthermore, Cataclysm is designed with a co-op team in mind to solve those puzzle(s).
The studio is attempting to up their content quality but I fear their design failed to take into account the lack of sufficient online players, making matchmaking difficult and frustrating players.... and we all know what happens with frustrated players... they leave for greener pastures (Superfans are not frustrated players, btw).
Seems Bio is caught in a Catch 22. Unfortunately, the only solution I can come up with is another marketing blitz with Cataclysm the centre piece.

Gotta say ever since the update, I've had to stop throwing the remote at the tv because the menu button to see the challenges on the ps4 works again . I can stop buying new tvs Why buy a new 96" OLED when a 21" Hitachi Ultravision CRT from 1981 works perfectly fine? I love watching fuzzy, 4:3 640x320 tv.......8K doesn't even come close! Seriously though....back in the 80s those were great TVs and there were only two companies that actually made their own picture tubes: Hitachi and Panasonic. Everything else was outsourced to Philips. That being said....now Hitachi has long priced themselves out of the LCD, LED, OLED market....I haven't seen an Hitachi LCD since 2005, and they were horrible then; like looking through a screen door. very large pixels. The new Panasonic OLEDs are a thing of beauty though, much better than even LG (which has burn-in and serious light-bleed issues). The only thing that even comes close to the new Panasonic OLEDs are Sony's, and that's only in the latter's higher end models. Sony has a history of putting the best quality stuff in all their high end models, and the other mid-range models get the leftovers.

Patch 1.2.1 - June 18th
Cosmetic Fixes - Fixed a number of bugs that prevented select cosmetic items from being presented correctly in Prospero’s store and/or the Forge.
UI Fixes
● Fixed an issue where the mouse cursor would disappear on specific instances when going into the Forge (while using keyboard & mouse controls). ● Various other minor UI bug fixes.
Combat Fixes - Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause characters and enemies to appear frozen after the frozen effect had worn off.
Matchmaking - We’ve made some additional improvements to our matchmaking experience by enabling longer timers for players to match into a squad, while also fixing a bug from a previous update that forced some players to matchmake for longer than intended. The new max limit for matchmaking should take no longer than 90 seconds.

Patch installed, servers back up …
I hope the bug fix for the mouse includes the inventory review on the victory platform and not just when in the forge.
Also …
I've had the mouse go stupid a few times recently in some of the other GUIs (like the codex) … so whatever they fixed, hope it fixed all of it.

Patch 1.2.1 helped with the mouse going stupid … I can now finish a match, select the option to start another match, then go to the forge (without going back to the fort first) and the GUI still works (it was a 100% fail, previously). But … the mouse can still go stupid on the victory platform, when you look at your loot inventory … it seemed less frequent (small sample size, so YMMV) … but it still exists. Can't say about other GUIs (like the codex) … again, they were a lot less frequent pre-patch, they may or may not be fixed post-patch.
Post-patch, matchmaking seems to be a fair amount better. Generally, I got a match in less than two turns of the wheel (previously, it put you solo into a match after one turn). If you go 3.75 turns of the wheel without a match, you can end up solo … but in playing six LCs, two strongholds and one LM … it only happened on one LC. The LM only had one other player and one of the LCs only had two other players, but the rest had a full team. Going into FP … the matchmaking was near-instantaneous … didn't see the beginning of the pilot prepping for deployment, it went directly to the load screen (which still takes a long time).

Several "Error Loading Pilot Data" events the last two days … at one point, thought it might be when I opted for a new match directly, not returning to the fort, but visiting the forge to compare loot and salvage the lesser item. Don't think that was it, just coincidence … but ELPD has definitely had an uptick after being somewhat rare for a while.
It looks like they rolled back the adjustment to overheat they did a while back. Originally, it you got hit with a tesilar zap (or some other strike) while flying, you'd immediately overheat. Then they dialed it back so that you were in the red, but if you immediately stopped flying (drop to the ground), you could avoid the overheat cool down. Well, the instant overheat appears to be back.
Matchmaking … looks like they've dialed back the time to find a match a bit … now, 2.75 turns of the wheel will kick you to a match where you are initially solo … when the patch first came out, I was seeing 3.75 turns of the wheel before getting placed alone in a match. Generally, I think this is an improvement … if no match by 2.5 turns of the wheel, it's probably not going to happen. On the other hand, I am getting a lot more matches since the patch … so they may eventually find the sweet spot to balance time looking and actually finding a match.
Have done several random match runs since the patch … they appear to have that working well now. Matchmaking is very fast and if you're looking for some quick missions, it's probably faster than free play and world events.

Energizer Bunny's posts about BSOD issues … plus some helpful responses of others … have been moved to the Off Topic sub-forum here. The title of the new thread is " Really Weird BSODs and Crashes That I can't seem to fix." We moved it there, because it does not appear to be an Anthem specific issue and the recommendations of folks helping EB to fix the problem … May also be of help to other forum members who are having issues with their PCs … both now and in the future.
