Anthem has had a troublesome launch, but credit where it’s due, BioWare have been issuing lots of server-side fixes and are backing that up with a patch to the game itself. The update will be out at around 1PM UK time (7AM CT) today, and targets three main things:
- The final boss in the “Return to the Heart of Rage” stronghold and crit path mission will now properly appear if a squad of freelancers wipe before reaching it.
- HDR on consoles can now be properly turned on.
- Fixed a number of issues that were causing players to crash.
These problems were highlighted last night, when BioWare also revealed the server-side changes that they had been able to make yesterday, on the day of the game’s wider release.
- Coin changes for Daily/Weekly – We have fixed an issue that displayed and rewarded the incorrect amount of Coin from various activities
- Stronghold Matchmaking – We have extended the timer that allows for matchmaking in a stronghold. This should allow groups to fill easier when matchmaking
- Non-stop Rain – We have fixed an issue that was causing it to rain in game more than intended
- Fusion Proc Bonuses on Weapons – Weapons were incorrectly applying infusion proc/bonuses from being equipped when they should only have been applying bonuses from the weapon that was in the active slot
- Chests found in Missions changes – Chests found in missions now have less of a chance to drop higher tiered items
- Emotes Not Properly Saving – We have fixed the issue that was causing emotes not to save properly when bound
- Shield Fix – We corrected an issue that was allowing players who still have shields active to be one shot by high damaging attacks
