BioWare, if you're lurking, can we chat?
Error Loading Pilot Data. Please Try Again. [Space] Okay.
Not, it's not OK. It happens far too often. When combined with ridiculously long loading screens, it becomes tedious.
In a pug ... not such a big deal. In a private match with friends … frustrating, irritating … makes folks want to quit.
To top it off, if you get kicked and rejoin the lobby … you can't launch back into the match … guys … this is seriously FUBAR.
Workaround for contracts (Legendary or otherwise) or other missions you can set to private … the person who got kicked … leave the squad, launch into freeplay, then get an invitation from one of the folks in the match, rejoin the squad in match. This workaround does not work in freeplay or strongholds or a match that is not set to private (unless you are really lucky that someone else is not already matched).
A couple of things …
First off, fix the error loading pilot data issue … OK, it won't ever be perfect, but it must be far better than its current state.
Second, reduce load screen (LS) times. If things work as they are supposed to, LS are annoying, but not horrible. When things are not working as they are supposed to, the LS are a huge annoyance … I don't think I can overstate that.
Third … if the match is in progress and I join the lobby and ready up … it should automatically launch me into the mission. This should have been true from day one. You need to fix it with the next patch.
Seriously, you need to address these issues … it is a very big disincentive to playing the game with friends … stronger together?

Not to dismiss, but what platform are you on? I'm on xb1x, and load screens have been significantly better since launch, and error pilot data is seen only rarely for me.

I'm Xbox One X and I get the pilot data error or some crash or other at least once a session. Admittedly my internet has been known to drop out for no reason anyway. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's the game or my router or my ISP at fault. Having said that, I've had times when I get the error when the connection to Xbox Live (and the rest of my internet) is down too but I suspect sometimes that it's the game that is bringing it down. I'm not sure how it could do that but there are times when it's up only long enough to boot the game and then goes down again at the same point so it's certainly suspicious!
This is all since the last patch.
The odd crash doesn't affect me that much as I only play with pugs or solo but I can see it being a much bigger pain with a proper group.
It's been a hot topic thread on the official Anthem Tech Support forum for months so I'm quite sure they are aware of it!

I think it's just when it tries to load or save your save game data (which it upates constantly) and encounters a problem in doing so. I would think internet connectivity would be a prime cause but it's probably a generic error that occurs whenever it can't load or save the data and a bug or crash in the server it's communicating with would probably result in the same error message as a simple connection issue would (although the error code that accompanies the message would probably be different).

Got that bug once last weekend too. Poor escari she just started talking them "Bam! She is dead". Brin does explain: 'Let the Escari spill the beans...' first .Players unload their ultimates into it. Whoops...
I did that mission yesterday on my level 25 pilot on Hard mode and found myself soloing it so no problems for me this time. I actually got to hear what it had to say

I just played a whole quick play stronghold in a jav that was not (cosmetically) mine. Same LOD armour set, just wrong decals. Loaded up end of expedition as my correct one but I was waiting for it to glitch out at any second.
I too am having an increased number of pilot data errors since the most recent patch. Could also potentially be my connection but I have no idea whether that or other issues are the cause.

I'm on PC. I get "Error Loading Pilot Data" sometimes. My friends get it sometimes. Pretty sure it happens to folks when I pug.
The major annoying part is when you are trying to get a team of four friends together and first one, then another gets the error just trying launch a single mission. If it's a stronghold or freeplay, you're forced to start over (everyone dealing with multiple load screens) … and when it happens a second or third time, then the load screens, which might be acceptable when dealing with once per match … become something well beyond tedious.
As far as internet connection, I've played MP with my friends for years … their internet connections are solid. Mine is solid. Anthem is the issue, not their connections.
When I pug, it doesn't matter … folks get dropped, new folks get added … doesn't effect me, so it's not annoying for me personally. But that doesn't mean it's not annoying to the person being effected. On rare occasion, I've been hit with the error three times in a row. That can get me more than a bit riled up.
For the most part, it is fairly infrequent (maybe 1 out of 10 missions for me?) … but becomes an issue when we are trying to get four people aligned for more than one match in an evening. Unless we are doing freeplay, every mission requires a new load. Which means over the course of an evening, we will experience it several times, if we are doing contracts, legendary missions or strongholds.
It only takes one person's data to fail to load to bolix up the mission and force us to start over. Given that BioWare has pounded the table on "stronger together" and playing with friends … this is a serious problem. That once we're dropped from a mission, we can't rejoin without silly workarounds … that is an incredible design flaw.
If everything works as it is supposed to … long load screens can be somewhat tolerated. But waiting … and waiting … and waiting … for a long load screen (when it goes past a certain point, you know it will be a failure to load … but you just sit there waiting … until you can return to the next load screen to start the process again) … that is frankly crap … and is part of what is making folks not want to continue playing the game.
If Xbox and PS4 don't have this as a major issue, perhaps it is PC … and EA/Origin server … specific. Regardless … it's an issue.

It's clever, well done.
But for now, looking forward to the real patch 1.0.5.01 notes … and fixing broken things.
Plus of course, new content.

Whoops... I think me and half of the Anthem player base reported that one on the AnswersEA thread a couple of weeks ago. Is that still in there? *SMH* Also, accidentally stumbled across @grinch 's solution in Quickplay.

The whole time I checked, EA's website kept saying the servers are live, but I saw a couple of posts saying the other EA games were down as well. Don't know how reliable this site downdetector.com is, but this showed the issues from yesterday: downdetector.com/status/anthem/news/245327-problems-at-anthem

Andrew Johnson @untdrew Our next game update (1.1.0) will be released tomorrow with the new Stronghold and various other game improvements and fixes. We will detail all of that out in our patch notes tomorrow, as well as give an update on the 90-Day calendar.
You'll need to download the client update after the servers come back online following the scheduled maintenance. Be sure to follow @eahelp for updates on that.
If you're doing the math, this means you'll actually have a chance to try out the update before our livestream, which I believe is a first!

If those QoL features will work as intended, it might be a great improvement. Of course it's how things should be from the start, but good to know they're at least working on real issues.
