Lately, the launch of EA’s action role-playing title is said to be very rough according to users’ feedback. A lot of bad reviews of the Anthem appeared on the internet. Many problems are discussed by the users. One of the most obvious performance issues lies in the loading times. Now, I’ll show you how to improve this.
Great Need for Improving Loading Times in Anthem
According to search, I have found that the loading times is one of the biggest issues discovered in Anthem (EA’s action role-playing title). You need to load frequently and the loading times are quite long.
A large number of people complained that there is not an easy fix to the poor loading times of Anthem. What I want to say here is they are totally wrong. I actually have solutions to help you improve loading times in Anthem. Don’t believe it? Please just keep reading to find out!
Anthem Long Loading Times
It generally takes 30-45 seconds to load Anthem; yet, many users responded that it would take them several minutes or more time to finish the loading progress. What a bad experience! This is not an out-of-the-ordinary complaint, so I decided to provide mainly two useful fixes to reduce the long load times of Anthem.
How to Speed Up Long Loading Times of Anthem
In this part, I’m going to offer two useful solutions to help you deal with the long waiting time.
Fix One: Install on an SSD
After a series of investigation, I found most of the complaints come from users who are running Anthem on a regular HDD. Thus, the first and most direct solution is using SSD. As a matter of fact, there are mainly 2 reasons to explain why SSD is better than HDD:
- The SSD does not include any moving parts on the inside.
- SSD is provided with a 2 form factor, which is small in size, but fast in speed.
The root reason why SSD is faster than HDD is that the former adopts flash-memory chip, which is able to read and transfer information quickly. Whether you are using Anthem on PC or Xbox One, you can reduce load times greatly by using an SSD. It seems that most of the problems found in Anthem got fixed as long as you install it on an SSD.

Fix Two: Update Anthem
Actually, the patch has been already released officially to improve loading times in Anthem. The first update is said to be very useful in fixing this most serious problem.
Besides, if any bug is found in Anthem and you discovered that it leads to mission loadings to get looped, you should resort to the patch for further play.
In addition, the developers also confirm that this patch is going to solve the following problems:
- Game freeze or connection to the servers is lost
- Improper record of progress in challenges
- Camera problems found in cut-scenes
- And so on
After finishing the update, some users reported that the stat modifiers of weapons and gear are displayed properly. Apart from this, the update helps to add you to the same team after you lost the connection to the server and logged into the game again. Best of all, you’ll be able to enjoy the improved game balance as well as fixes for the throng of small bugs.
