1984

Which makes it all the more frustrating. This game is as close to “unplayable” as anything over ever owned, which is incredible coming from a AAA dev like BioWare.

1985

PS4 has serious crash issues for a lot of people. I was in a 3-hour disconnect carousel yesterday. My friend has had maybe three completed missions in about 20 attempts. I’ve yet to be able to play in Freeplay longer than five minutes. So while your experience has been pretty good, I think it’s pretty clear that there are glaring technical problems that a game in 2019 should never release with.

And I’m sure there were demo issues that were resolved, my point is that if there’s a beta/demo with significant problems just a week or two from release, the release is going to be rough. I’ve literally never seen that not be the case, and I’ve been online gaming since paying $4/hour to play Kingdom of Drakkar via a local CompuServe dialup number. :)

1986

I didn’t think it was snarky at all, that was pretty funny!

1987

Ya, clearly it’s not consistent for all the users.
It’s really weird though, as it’s not just me, but the guys I play with also have had very few issues as well.

I’m really interested in what is causing the difference though, given we’re all running on the same hardware. It’s not like a PC game where you’ve got an infinite set of configurations.

1988

That part really is baffling, ain’t it? It it was just connection issues I’d say certain nodes/networks having terrible, but from what I read it’s sounding like it crashes the entire system for PS4 users. That part has me scratching my head.

1989

Yes. Into a Stronghold shutting down in 7 seconds, no loot, just more loading screens.

another point of data to never believe the “The beta/demo is months old, the release will be good!”.

Outside of the person saying it, probably trolling, nobody really believes this statement do they?

1990

Sure they do, there’s always the optimists and the believers and really just the positive thinkers. We had a small bit of that discussion in this thread back during the demo, which is why I mentioned it. I’m not saying Bioware didn’t fix a bunch of demo issues, it’s just that if the beta/demo is rough, the release version is going to be rough (just maybe in different ways). I’ve yet to see that not be the case, as much as we hope this time will be different. :)

1991

In the case of this game, I believe that some folk had actually played a more recent build, and were saying that certain issues were fixed based on what they had actually seen themselves.

1992

I agree with both @KevinC and @Timex. The launch is much better than the demo, but there’s no doubt that the host of remaining technical issues have hurt the game’s reception, which is a shame.

1993

The upside is that they seem to be responding pretty quickly, and getting patches and fixes out at a pace that’s faster than I expected.

1994

Who is still playing actively on PC? :) I’d love to friend up with you folks. I’m currently playing in GM1, but I’d be happy to drop down a notch or two if anyone wants help with anything :)

My Origin ID is also Oghier.

1995

Added. I’m still playing the game on PC, but I’m not through the story content yet and so I’m mostly soloing at this point (also because of the quickplay bugs). I’m hoping to not be too long before I’m ready to do more grouping.

1996

It’s been a week now, and myself and others are still effected by the Forge bug that does not allow you to select your first Javelin. The bug has not even been officially recognized on by EA/Bioware on the bug forums yet which is beyond frustrating , however there a rumors that it is a known issue

Yesterday’s patch did not resolve the issue…

As per Misguided’s recommendation I did create a new Ps4 and EA accounts with another email address and it gets past the bug (which surely is account related), but I really don’t want to start playing on the account as all my friends and game progress are stored on my real account. I’ll wait it out for the time being and play some other games.

1997

Holy friggin’ crap the Interceptor is amazingly fun.

1998

Yes.

This is super bad. Have you uninstalled the game and reinstalled?

1999

Origin ID is Banfilidh

2000

Yes I did try reinstalling. The only work around so far is to create a new EA account and a platform specific account with an alternate email address.

2001

Seems like hot garbage to me.

2002

the only one I haven’t tried yet. I got the feeling they were harder to play than the other classes, so I’m holding off for my last unlock…

2003

Did you also nuke the directory and anything in app data and/or elsewhere in the user folders (and, worst case, scour the registry)?
