Anthem’s day two update fixes the Heart of Rage Stronghold and crash bugs
www.thesixthaxis.comAnthem 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 following changes to Anthem will be patched into the client:
- 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.
There are some server side improvements as well:
- 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
Some of these seem like some pretty large bugs. One thing I really dislike about the client patch notes is how vague they are about fixing crash issues. Did they fix three? or 15? Wish they would be a little more clear, they make it sound like they're avoiding the topic of the game crashing.
Anthem has already had a troubled launch and has not been as well received as expected. It'll be interesting to see if Anthem ends up being one of those games that is still getting crash fixes 6 months after release or not.
