Anthem’s server issues aren’t about capacity, and they’re affecting every EA game

January 25, 2019 Server issues that started with the Anthem demo are extending across the EA library.

The Anthem demo has gone up, and every game on EA servers has gone down. Log-in issues for BioWare’s game have now extended across the EA catalogue, and while we don’t have specific details the actual issue, it’s apparently not the server capacity problem that was reported in the first few error messages. BioWare’s Casey Hudson tweets “Turns out to not be a server capacity issue. Seems to be a different issue that didn’t come up in previous scale testing. Teams are on it.” EA community manager Corey Andress followed up a bit later to say “this is sounding like a Nucleus/Origin login issue.” That’s different than the error message we got upon trying to log into the Anthem demo, which said “We’re sorry, but the EA servers reached maximum capacity. Please try again later.” But no, it seems you’re not getting kicked out of FIFA because Anthem servers are full - servers aren’t shared, but login services are. Today’s launch did, however, apparently blow a hole in the latter.
