Anthem VIP Demo verliep niet zoals gepland
Chad Robertson, Head of Live Service bij Bioware, heeft in een blogpost aangegeven wat er afgelopen weekend nou allemaal mis is gegaan. De drie grootste problemen die spelers ondervonden waren volgens Robertsons:
- Platform connections – this was caused by the spike in players entering the game when we opened up. Unfortunately, these issues did not present themselves during our internal testing. Investigations are ongoing, and we will continue to apply fixes throughout the weekend.
- Entitlements – these are account flags that grant players things like their pre-order incentives and demo access. During the demo weekend, we identified a bug where VIP players with a specific combination of entitlements were being blocked from accessing the demo. We believe we’ve resolved most of these, but have additional cases we are addressing.
- “Infinite loads” -this is occurring for some players, particularly when they transition from Fort Tarsis to an expedition. We saw this only in isolated cases during internal testing and believed it was resolved. Unfortunately, the problem is exacerbated in the real-world where differences with player’s ISPs and home networks introduce new behavior.
Om spelers te bedanken voor hun begrip en steun heeft Bioware de laatste paar uren van de Anthem VIP Demo iedereen toegang gegeven tot alle Javelins. Daarnaast zullen alle deelnemers van de VIP Demo volgend weekend ook tijdens de Open Demo toegang hebben tot alle vier Javelins. Goed nieuws dus als je wat meer verschillende speelstijlen en builds wilt testen. Als extra bonus ontvang je ook nog de onderstaande speciale vinyl.
