Anthem: Massive Day 1 Patch Detailed; before Feb 22 launch (LIVE on PC, 7GB)
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
I'm downloading it myself, but people on the subreddit report mostly new bugs and worse performance, if anything.
Worse performance?
Thats the one thing they needed to fix asap. At least on PC.
Fucking disaster.

My friend is saying the same. He's seeing significantly worse performance after the patch.
The game has been marketed as an co-op loot shooter. The loot is bad. The shooting is bad. The co-op is functional but uninspired.
I do think that Bioware doesn't really know what the game is either, though, contributing to the severity of these issues.

Summary:
People now having issues launching the game
Worse perfromance than pre patch
Loading times either not changing or getting worse(I think they may have just not changed)
Various crashing being reported.
Respawn has made it very clear that EA had no hand in Apex.
Wow that sucks. I hope Bioware can turn this game around. I am pretty interested in it but not in it's current state
Haha we can't revive in the stronghold, day one patch people! full game! LOL.
Vid coming soon.
EDIT: here it is!

If the game got worse with the "Day 1" Patch then people who paid to play it earlier actually had a better experience and were not beta testers.
Thats a genius way to fix at least that complaint lmao

Load times seem... longer for me?
Edit: they're much better when loading the forge, but some load screens last super long randomly.
Where's the lie, though?
People that bought in to play the game eight days early got saddled with a buggy mess of a game with broken progression and PS1-era loading times.
I noticed on pc, it kinda came down to your hard drive, on a solid state drive the loads were irritating but was way way better than hdd
Because I've played a good amount of Anthem between its free demos and 10 hour trial. With Anthem finally launching, and myself having been their guinea pig for the time I actually played, I care little about playing their final product. Especially since their massive patch doesn't fix the fundamental issues of the game. That's the irony of it that I thought of in my head when making that post, but didn't actually type in said post.
Essentially, this shit still ain't enough to justify us testing their final product in early access which ain't very final and I'd rather play something else. Like another patch for another unfinished product.
We really gotta stop with this shit.
Games got released unfinished and buggy (like, oh yeah, Bioware's last game) when they weren't on a GaaS model, right? There are also so many GaaS games that are not only successful, monetarily, but celebrated by their players.
This is just incompetence. It's not exclusive to GaaS. It probably just feels new because we were used to incompetence in the old model.
I am so confused with the release of this game. Isn't it out for like 2 weeks? Friends already finished it last weekend, lol.
What a clusterfuck.
What a clusterfuck.
It's a staggered release. It just turns out the early access to it is quite literally early access in the sense it's a shittier version of the game, prior to a lot of fixes that come in the supposed "day 1" patch of its official-ish release date. Fixes that somewhat don't do a whole lot-ish.
Yeah.
Basically, the game was briefly an early access game for one week.
Looks like this will have an early access feel for a few more weeks ;)
what is it about some users losing their savedata? is the character data saved on EA´s servers or not? does anyone knows that?
there are reports about people losing their savefile and this sounds that there is a local save file instead of a server based storing system

I imagine that priority is very low for that one, though still embarassing considering how popular LG OLED TV's are among PC gamers nowadays.
And it's not even Anthem specific and also concerns ME:Andromeda and BF.
EDIT:
Well, call me surprised. Looks like HDR has been fixed.

While I don't completely disagree with you, the argument keeps coming up because GaaS focussed games in particular keep launching lacking in content and quality with promises that it'll be better down the line. Destiny eventually got there after 2 games and half a dozen dlc packs. The Division after its massive updates overhauling most of its systems. BFV will probably get there some day, BF2 probably not.
It's not that it's something new to GaaS because yes, plenty of non GaaS game launched bad but it seems to be damn near universal with these games. Like I can't think of a single one off the top of my head that launched in a really strong "finished" feeling state which in an ideal world is how these should work. The launch game should be great then you build on it over time to make it bigger. Not "well it's bad now but won't be in a year."
you can find a report here , too lazy to find another , it's on the xbox

Less money, actually. $15 instead of $60. Only Origin Premier subscriber who can play right now (without 10 hour restriction).
Most Origin Premier subscriber wouldn't extend their sub past the first month, let alone purchase the game.
I already posted in the other thread but:
1) The patch is 5GB on Xbox
2) I am about to jump in with my remaining 2 hours of my trial. I'll post impressions here and answer any questions but if you guys want I can also set up a stream?

It sure if I want to buy or just get a year of origin, wish I knew what will be coming out from ea in the fall besides sports. For what it's worth, Destiny, Gran Turismo Sport, No Mans Sky, Sea of Thieves - none of these games were probably worth full price when they launched, but are night and day better now. I'm sure it will be same for Anthem.
