Anthem taking forever to launch

Hey all! 

Just recently I have encountered an issue where Anthem takes around 5 minutes to open (after pressing play from EA) to then sit at a black screen in windowed mode for around another 5 minutes, finally I get onto the main menu (fullscreen) only to press [space] to play, where it stutters my pc and the game (audio bugs out, game freezes) for it to continue loading. Finally after all that it starts loading normally, only to bring me back to the main menu, saying I lost connection. If you need additional info lmk cause I have tried every fix under the sun and nothing is working.

    Same issue too. Just reinstalled Windows and went straight to installing anthem with nothing else. I have a 4090, an i9-13900kf, it's installed on a nvme m.2 ssd. Everything that should make it so this game doesn't struggle and it takes 20 minutes in it's attempt to load to only come back to the main screen because it failed to connect

  • I just bought this to get 1 last playthrough before closes. Game will not launch. I seen EA offer 24 hour refund after u launch the game, but because i played gamepass version , it shows 9 hrs of playtime. EA support refused the refund and provided no help They not getting my 7 bucks, i even told them this isnt my hardware, this is their launcher. 5090 12900kf here. They scammed me straight up so im just going to charge back next week if i dont get it working. I'm not at fault here yet they refuse to listen when i tell tem, its like 20-30 mins for it to launch
