I'm hoping this might get some attention, even though a minority case, so pining u/biocamden -
I have a very low bandwidth connection when playing at home. Thankfully, mission and gameplay-wise, Anthem does well with this.
The problem, however, is with some loading screens, particularly when starting up the game, and when going from mission completion into the rewards gallery. My loading screen slowly hums along until 70% or so (during which time my bandwidth is pegged at ~80kB/s - slow, I know). When reaching that roughly 70% mark, I'm often kicked back to the "frostbite engine" game startup screen with an "Error loading pilot data". And then when trying to get back into the game, this same kick-out happens two to three more times, then I'm finally able to load into Tarsis.
Note - this issue does not occur at all when playing from a higher bandwidth connection.
Do you know if these day-one load screen updates have optimized the network payload, or is it just HDD fixes? I'd love to have this issue forwarded on, to see if something can be done to assist here. Low bandwith folks do still exist, heh. Perhaps it's just a matter of increasing some arbitrary timeout threshold from 1 minute to 2 minutes for loading the pilot data?
Either way, thanks.
