Bah, the infinite loading screens seem to be a tough nut to crack. Even my workaround wasn't perfect and the issue is very widespread. I hear the PS4 folk have it worst. So far this looks like Anthem's biggest threat to a good launch. It's extremely annoying to keep restarting a game, losing progress and repeating it over and over. Hopefully, there will be patch inbound. Though even if such a patch is 95% successful, that could still leave tens of thousands of people with issues. It's no consolation if most are playing, if you aren't.

I wonder if PC players will still have loading issues if they reduce their graphic settings to medium.... as a test.

Hello Anthem Community!by Author - Chad RobertsonPosted on - January 31, 2019 Head of Live Service Hello Anthem Community! Thanks for being here! We’re hard at work to be ready for our public demo weekend, starting tomorrow, 2/1. This week has been focused on improving the player experience in the demo – that focus was based on our learnings and your feedback. For those of you that played last weekend, you should see significant improvement in multiple areas over last week. While we are confident that these changes will improve this weekend’s experience for players, we’re also cognizant that we may see recurring and new issues. Our team will again be working around the clock to deal with any problems that arise so that all players can enjoy the game. As always, you can use Answers HQ for help. Our ongoing scale testing this week has gone well. We’re confident we are ready for the load we will see. Like last weekend, we will be prepared with more server capacity than we anticipate will be needed. However, predicting player numbers – particularly for a new game like Anthem in its first open public weekend – is very difficult. If more players decide to try the game than we anticipate, we also have systems in place to control entry rates of incoming players. This is to ensure players in the game are having uninterrupted fun and to give us time to increase capacity. If you encounter this situation, we hope you’ll be patient with us and try again later. We’ll have messaging on our servers on our server status page. I mentioned earlier in the week that we’ve also been preparing for many weeks for our full launch. That version of the game already has a long list of things that are already fixed that did not make our demo weekends. It includes: Further performance Improvements Additional stability fixes Fixes to inscriptions showing up incorrectly Fixes to inscriptions from other Javelins being chosen Fixes to disappearing customization settings Fixes to XP gain behavior Audio improvements Improvements to PC controls, including flight and aiming A Social Hub: The Launch Bay And a few thousand more (literally)… One additional comment based on what we’ve been asked on Twitter. If you are a returning VIP demo player, you’ll keep your progression from VIP weekend. That includes your Javelins, pilot level, and all gear, weapons, and customizations. I hope to see everyone in the game starting Friday. Lastly, please be kind to the grabbits! Stronger Together! Chad

It's fully open. How many people will try to log in? They don't know. Lastly, please be kind to the grabbits! I do wish BioWare the very best with the server launch tomorrow, but there's a element here of: 'if we talk about Grabbits enough, maybe people won't spot that we're bricking it...'

It's not the graphic level. Was tested on all setting by multiple people. Changing the installation drive seemed to help randomly.

Let's hope things go well tomorrow, because likely a lot more people will be joining. One of the biggest initial issues was that people with VIP codes couldn't get in (with some other issues linked to that as well). There are no more VIP codes anymore, so even if some issues arise, Bioware team will likely have people and resources to respond to them in a timely fashion.

At the moment what i can say is that the demo for me run a lot more smoothly than the previous time. No crash to desktop, no 95% error when try to load (actually never happened to me except for 1 single time), no strange crash when you end a free explore mission that make you lose or your loot. Instead i got a lot more the "problem happened while trying to retrieve information from the server" and back again to the main scree (sorry if the message is not exactly like that in english but i re translated it from italian).

So far things are going smoothly for me on PC. No 95%, no errors retrieving live service info, no crashes to desktop. I haven't seen any comments about lack of capacity. Only one wobble soon after I logged in, the server I was on shut down while I was in free play, and booted me back to Ft. Tarsis. Nothing to worry about. I wonder if the lousy weather is a normal storm, or a buildup to something bigger?

Game is running smoothly so far for me. Seems like the BioBugFixers did a great job! No loading screens problems anymore. Fingers crossed that the game crashes also are in the past.
