*le sigh*
Frostbite sound bug alive and well … strikes most often in MP settings.
Not much of an issue in SP settings … but Anthem is mostly MP.
Given how many years they've known about it, you'd think they would have found a fix prior to Anthem.
BioWare can't fix this issue, DICE and their R&D team have to find a fix.
OBTW, another Frostbite bug (for Frostbite games that are HDR-capable) … if you don't have an HDR monitor, but your monitor has an option to select "dynamic brightness and contrast" (or something to that effect) … you should probably disable it and go with fixed brightness and contrast on your monitor.
Otherwise, even though HDR's turned off, the game will incorrectly try to use the dynamic mode and turn your menus almost completely dark after a few seconds in the menu. Also, less frequently, some in-mission instances … typically in dark places like a cave … it will do the same.
Have not seen that in Frostbite games that lack HDR, so I'm leaping to the conclusion that it is an interaction between the monitor's dynamic brightness and contrast mode and the game's HDR settings (even when HDR is turned "off" or grayed out, because the monitor is not HDR-capable).

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"? Yes. I think I posted a couple of months ago that that day 1 capacity problems wouldn’t be caused by the things that Bioware controls, like the Anthem game servers, but the things they don’t control, like platform portals and user account services, e.g. Origin. If the game has to handshake with those services before it can do anything, you are at the mercy of their capacity planning. It’s one thing to plan for your own services, it’s quite another to get Microsoft or Sony to believe your numbers and execute accordingly. Even though Origin itself is from EA also, it’s a big company, and getting one business unit to spend money on another business units project isn’t as simple as it may seem. Exacerbating all this is a theory floating around that problems with the game client, the stuff running on your console or pc, causes crashing at a critical point, forcing people to go back through the portal handshakes again, making the load problem even worse.

Well, I finished the first mission on Xbox, private/solo on normal was hard but doable. unfortunately demo is hung on return from mission. I had problems with Origin before launch... could not pre-order. Earlier today the Demo was active, Xbox preorder seems to work for PC also? Unfortunately I could not get in on PC. Origin login servers are probably being borrowed for the demo edit: turning off xbox finished the mission, but kicked me out of game... was unavailable for quite a while... now back up, *sigh* but restarted at beginning.

Teams are on it."
Seems hard to account to everything it seems until it's out in the wild

Completed said mission and now I'm stuck on a loading screen at 95% and not moving...probably going to have to kill the game and restart...which probably means I have to start from square one. Possibly not, depending on the mission. You very well may log in again (eventually) and find that the stuff you earned from completing said mission (but getting stuck loading back "home") may still have given you the proper loot/XP. Call it a strong hunch.

I'd say knowing what the issue is, is a good start to fixing it.

Played through the 2nd mission same issue at the end loading back into Tarsis...must just be the high volume. I have to take back all the trash talking I did on how easy it looked. Nope, not at all. The end of the 2nd mission is frantic and me and my teammates had to revive one another a few times. Normal difficulty. It's a blast...though I barely know what the hell I'm doing.
