My god. Don’t do all those client-side things people are tossing at you. Your problem is all at Bioware/EA’s end with your account as you proved with your creating another account.
There are also some promised changes for interceptor I’ve been waiting on, letting them melee in the air more effectively, before I give it a try.
Not necessarily. Buggy client installs can corrupt stuff. I had the same problem with MtG: Arena.

This is a PVE game with all the progress (no manual saves) on the remote server side which results in weird issues like logging in and being demoted to level 1 (I’ve seen this) and constant remote (server, live account, pilot info saving/retrieving) error messages with what is single-player progress. Live games sucks.
Feels like this would be a better title screen for the game.
… man, the scaling between GM1 and GM2 is bullshit.
Plus, they are EA servers.

I got kicked from two missions tonight with this error, and now I can’t get in to the servers again. This is the first time since the demo I think that I’ve had these kinds of issues.
First complete outage since the game launched.

Down for emergency maintenance. No eta.
Non-exhaustive list of bugs I’ve encountered:
- Sound will cut out mid-mission. Seems to happen more often if the game is set to “Surround” versus “Stereo”, but still happens either way. Only a full restart of the game on my Xbox One X fixes it. Get this bug at least once any evening I play.
- Quick Match putting me in broken missions - I’ve been put in missions that are stuck in a loop and won’t progress at least four times, and I was spawned into a mission on the other side of a magic wall the game put up to enclose the “combat arena” for the end of another mission, with no way to get in.
- Spawned into missions that have ended. More the fault of bad design, than a real bug. Still incredibly annoying.
- Button presses becoming non-responsive when accessing my Vault. I was breaking down a bunch of stuff a couple of days ago, and I had to exit out of the Vault and re-enter it over a dozen times, because it kept doing it.
- Not being able to revive squad-mates after a full squad respawn during a mission. Has happened to me twice - prompt to “Repair” just doesn’t come up. Depending on the squad and the mission, this can be a mission-ender, and extremely frustrating.
- Lots of server disconnects back to the title screen, that everyone has talked about here.
- Launch Bay breaking - doors to start another expedition, and to go to the Fort, both don’t show prompts. No way out. Only option is to exit out of the game.
These are the only repeat issues. Had some other one-offs.
2019 and I’m still amazed all those games with LAUNCHERS are unable to have a server-status info blurb in their god damn launchers – at least EVE Online does that, and tells you how many people are online…
Back in UO days at least we had ‘UOMon’ to tell us, but in this age of “cloud” and “GaaS” (…) we have to look for Tweets from a developers personal myspace blog to find out the status.
I was hoping to finally get to play the game today, but it’s been stuck on finalizing the update. Tried the instructions for cleaning the platform cache on EA’s AnswersHQ, but doesn’t seem like there’s any activity.
If you find their hopeless installer failing after doing a repair it is probably because their “touchup.exe” reruns all the redist installers and some of them have suppressed ‘reboot’ messages resulting in for example the MSVisualC redists failing, and thus the repair job, with no real error message given to the user.
Stuck for how long? It takes a while.
An hour or so, but it did finish.
Oh wow, that is a long time.

Pilot has been stuck at level 1 for the last hour or so after quitting and restarting the game. This after getting a legendary contract whose mission area was ‘out of range’ and triggered the teleport constantly.
I give up for today.
Afaik, the level 1 thing is just a display bug. It has always corrected itself by going into the forge for me.

Level 1 in Fort Tarsis or in the field? If it’s in the Fort, that is a common display bug.
Just got my first legendary and a couple of masterworks in an hour or so of freeplay. Wish the legendary hadn’t been one of the two pieces of masterwork gear I already had for colossus, but still cool.
