An issue was recently discovered within EA's troubled sci-fi shooter, ANTHEM. Many players have reported a bug in the game that causes their PlayStation 4 to crash, and in some cases, break altogether. BioWare has been working with Sony to resolve the problem, and it sounds like a fix is on the way soon.
The developer's head of live service, Chad Robertson, took to Twitter once again to provide an update on the situation. Essentially, a patch will arrive on PS4 next week, and one of the fixes should eliminate this particularly nasty bug. He also states that there have been no cases of bricked PS4s, which runs against claims of some unfortunate ANTHEM users.
According to producer Ben Irving, the patch will also aim to fix another recently discovered bug, whereby low level weaponry is far stronger than it should be. It's good to see BioWare is working hard to remedy these issues, although we fear it has some way to go yet.

Finished the story and polishing up on the agent missions before diving into the Strongholds this weekend. Having a great time so far, but have yet to really begin the endgame. I haven't encountered the crash error, but sure sucks for those that have. Glad its being resolved soon.
The game is good, very good, at its core.
It's good that Bioware is taking care of fixing things first, to establish a good base for future content.
From what I've read so far, there isn't any bricked PS4, just consoles that had to be rebooted in safe mode (with a databse reconstruction). And some users who didn't know how to do it assumed their consoles were bricked, except they were not. Apparently.
It's still unaceptable as a situation, this kind of bug should NOT have passed any phase of testing. But it's not as serious as a game bricking a console. I think the OS of the PS4 is safe enough to not be destroyed by a simple game, no matter how buggy it can be.
Oh, and this patch will also integrate the possibility of launching a mission, contrat or whatever, from ANYWHERE IN FORT TARSIS. And that's very good for all the people who can't stand this place.
Personnaly, I plan to continue launching my missions from my javelin base, just to see this sweet animation of my character entering the armor. It's so cool.
