Could this be server overload? I've this prob few times. Also have some rubber banding issues.

Doing mission, although all challenges done but not being registerd, hence cant proceed story.
The sound breaking really hurts my ears alot, FPS or HDR i'm not really concern but stuttering really make the cut scene headache to watch.
Talking to certain NPC, game crash.
Mission done, count down to end mission, game crash.
Unlocked new javelin, selected colossus, game crash.
Even walking in fort tarsis to certain area, game also crash.
Etc etc. wtf wtf.

This game is just not ready, it's more like a beta imo. As much as i enjoy the combat, but there are alot bugs and crashes really dented the anthem experience. Uninstall, rebuild database, reinstall, same shit, not sure is server side problem or what. Don't get me wrong, i'm one of those guy who really wish for this game to success, i'm still buying it despite all these bad reviews and non of my friends willing to buy it. But l'm not sure if Bioware can really rectify all these problems in time before everyone scrap this game away. How's everyone experience?

I just started yesterday night for 1 hour only. Kinda noob . Is this game only can play with friends OR can randomly matchmaking

I'm taking it real slow, doing most of the contracts/agent mission w/o progressing story much, only reached level 18 yesterday lol. Reason because it has been twice the main story kicked me out when completed the mission and make me missed the important cutscenes, especially the 'Fortress of Dawn' mission bug, i know we can youtube for it, but this kinda ruins the gaming experience for me.

Well it seems server more stable now as compare to first few days of play, less rubber banding, less "Error retrieving Anthem live service data" 

Anyway, there is one contract 'Research and Rescue', i cannot complete this shit because everytime we defeat Escari the mission just don't progress

IKR, "Error retrieving pilot data, please restart Anthem", then all EXP just gone like that 

Wow, game crashing a PC is quiet common

but game crashing console? that's super duper rare

Sony will be at fault for didn't do a proper QC on the game/patch before green light it for release on consoles

I actually thinking of getting refund, but then i could not find other games on ps4 that can match the gameplay of anthem. Even the division is lacking in speed and ability to fly as in anthem.

I guess i will keep and play anthem until i can found other games that have at least same mechanic like anthem. Until then, anthem it is, even though there too many bugs.
