... If you get into the game and the visuals for crystals being broken doesn't work properly …
Probably best to stay away from freeplay, stick to the other missions.
If the crystals break properly, freeplay seems stable and a "crystal" world event does not trigger a CTD.
If the crystals don't break properly … I'd exit freeplay and either do an LC, LM or a stronghold instead.
I don't think the crystals themselves cause the crash, I think it is a indicator of a faulty game load … ... I thought the crystal breaking animation might have been a tell on the crash issue as well, but in my case it wasn't. I jumped back into Freeplay to try to complete a daily challenge on Saturday, and, though the crystals worked, after maybe 5 minutes the game crashed to Home a 2nd time. Sunday was much better until the evening. I bet Bioware just forgot to include the "MWAHAHAHA!!!!" *twirls mustache* audio file that is supposed to randomly play or something. Appears that the simultaneous player client crash and "Server Shutdown" issues were separate problems, since I haven't seen the latter for several days. The "Server Shutdown" may have been due to jumping on to a server scheduled for a shutdown, but the notifications on the client side have been missing.

I kinda wonder if all these events were pre-planned prior to Anthems launch. I'm also curious what interactions are like between the BioWare employees who go there, and the people in attendance.

I didn't look at everything, just the earnings release & prepared remarks. This was the only mention of Anthem I found: "47% of our unit sales are now digital rather than physical, measured on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 over the last twelve months. Although this is up 7 percentage points year on year, we continue to model an annual shift of 5 percentage points, given how strongly digital Anthem was at its launch last quarter." For a live service, that's not much sign of life.

✨ Ann Lemay ✨ @annlemay Peeps, my friends, I need your help! Reasons why having a chainsaw at work is perfectly useful, go!
Mary Kirby @biomarykirby 1. You get through the line in the kitchen so much faster when you have one. 2. It's the only way to drown out the audio department when they're working on explosions. 3. It's an integral part of the story about the time you got stranded in Saskatchewan. 4. It wards off the producers who want to ask you if you've seen your Jira tasks yet. 5. You need it to fix whatever it is in the ceiling that keeps oozing brown stuff into the office. 6. You named it "Bianca" and refuse to explain why, or how you obtained it.

This is just a train of thought that occurred to me just now, based on nothing: well, if they are 'sticking with anthem' as they claim, it would be a financial drain. Hence, it would be wise to downplay your drain's figures.

Did you notice how live-service games are very lucrative, besides tax evasion techniques (ie: move IP rights to its international HQ in Switzerland, as well as changes to the Swiss income tax rates that seem to have benefited EA in a major way)?
DA4 will be a live-service game (imo).
As to Anthem, well, live-service games are lucrative as long as there is a min player base to sustain it. I'm suspecting that the Cataclysm PTS is a delaying ruse until the game is chopped or put on a respirator. Look at item 3 above and what EA said about Anthem vs Apex in their FY20 Q1. I cringed.
For the hopeful, one could argue Bio is attempting to execute the No Man's Sky strategy.

DA4 will be a live-service game (imo). We know that the original DA4, project Joplin, was rebooted into a Live Service DA4, project Morison. There is no reason to think DA4 won't be a live service game.
For the hopeful, one could argue Bio is attempting to execute the No Man's Sky strategy. Anthem will not be getting any influx of players, any time soon. If you just look at the competition on the horizon (D2 DLC, Warframe DLC, Borderlands 3), even if they do get some people back with Cataclsym, which I can't see being enough, I don't see it as a worthwhile enough update, with sufficient content, nor an particularly interesting game mode.

That, and the constant bugs and networking problems the game can never escape. I can't tell if it's solely the engine and bad coding, or their servers (could be both for all I know).

I don't understand how people see NMS (or FO76 for the matter) as a redemption. That guy blatantly lied to the world's face to make sales, then hid in a cave to avoid fallout (ha ha), and now that the game is getting close to what was promised years ago, he's suddenly a hero/marketing genius There are words in my book for people like that, none of them are compliments

They might do Anthem, but I dont see them doing DA4. That game needs time in the oven, and I'd rather they wait close to release before showing us anything.

Come now, both EA and Bio are masters at blaming others, even when they admit they launched unfinished games.

Come now, both EA and Bio are masters at blaming others, even when they admit they launched unfinished games.
3. MEA failure due to Zelda
Post Script"
Again, here's what Mark Darrah said about ME:A: The question was “did I think MEA was given a fair shake?” I’m going to regret this in half an hour but let’s talk “did MEA get a fair shake” First off, the question was not “is MEA secretly a great game and did mean Nintendo make us fail?” MEA is a deeply flawed game. Especially at launch
But the review environment was crowded.
Nier, Nioh, Horizon, and Zelda all launched in MEAs window.
Each does something better than MEA (again, a flawed game)
As a result, even systems that are pretty decent get scrutinized against superiorly implemented ones.
Does launching in a different window turn 72% into 90?
Certainly not.
72 into 77/78? Maybe
Does that affect sales? Some. But word of mouth matters so much these days. And here’s the thing. That’s the nature of the industry. You don’t have full control over when you launch and no control over when others do. DAI benefited by how tough a year 2014 turned out to be for games You launch the best game you can. MEA has a lot of problems and got lapped by genuinely better games." Might want to step away from the click-bait nonsense for a bit and actually read the quotes in the context they are based in.

Come now, both EA and Bio are masters at blaming others, even when they admit they launched unfinished games.
3. MEA failure due to Zelda
Post Script"
Big Snip" Might want to step away from the click-bait nonsense for a bit and actually read the quotes in the context they are based in.
Yes, "click-bait" must be the answer to all of Bio's problems and mgt. quotes must be all truths.

What are you even talking about? He didn't blame anyone, especially the fans. "MEA is a deeply flawed game"
"even systems that are pretty decent get scrutinized against superiorly implemented ones."
"MEA has a lot of problems and got lapped by genuinely better games."Seems like a pretty candid assessment. He seems pretty aware of the circumstances into which "ME:A" was released stating, that while "ME:A" could have been viewed slightly more favorably (78/79 vs 72) in a less crowded release window that didn't have admittedly superior games, "DA:I" benefited from the opposite happening. Game releases don't happen in a vacuum - expectations, anticipation, hype, perception, comparison - these all play into what influences a reviewer.
