If an Anthem rubberbanding fix is what you need, then you must really be suffering from a frustrating amount of lag. Having your character bounce around, moving one step forward and then two steps back, isn’t fun at all. Unfortunately, rubber-banding in Anthem is one of the many bugs that were discovered during the beta phase, and acknowledged by developer BioWare, but not yet fully fixed. While the development team issued a patch that targeted rubberbanding, amongst other pesky bugs and problems, players are still experiencing Anthem rubberbanding in the full retail release. Thankfully, there does at least some to be a temporary fix.
Anthem Rubberbanding Fix | How to stop rubber-banding error
If you are experiencing terrible Anthem rubberbanding, you’ll want to immediately leave the session that you are in. Once you’ve exited the session, wait a moment before matchmaking again (as you don’t want to be re-added to that same group of players). To avoid any possibility of being partnered up with the same laggy teammates, you can select a different mission.
Of course, the above tip is only helpful if you’re playing with strangers, and don’t mind leaving them behind to find someone new. If, however, you are playing with friends and experiencing rubberbanding, then you’ll want to ensure that you (and your friends, if possible) turn their routers off and then on, and also reboot the consoles. Refreshing the connection for all players will give you the best chance of being able to play with minimum rubberbanding.
If all of the above fails, then the problem could be due to the game itself. With many players reporting rubberbanding issues during the beta, it’s clearly a problem that’s affecting a large number of users. Fingers crossed that BioWare targets this issue with a patch in the very near future!

Everything You Need to Know About Anthem's Javelins
So, you're diving into Anthem? Not sure which of the mech suits to climb into first? We've taken them all for a test flight, cooled off under the waterfall, and returned with the lowdown on all four. Here's everything you need to know about Anthem's Javelins. -
Ranger
No matter your preference, you'll be starting your Anthem run in a Ranger. Described as the all around jack of all trades, the Ranger can slot into any situation and round out any team. Rangers can dash across short distances and strike foes with a devastating Shock Mace. -
Lock and Load
As for gear, a Ranger can pack grenades or cannon blasts. These range from elemental bombs to heat-seeking missiles. Rangers can support their team with a bubble shield that protects from foes or enhances damage. Finally, the Ranger's ultimate is a volley of missiles that can hit dozens of enemies at once. -
Colossus
For a mech game, Anthem sure does have some agile suits. If you want a more traditional giant robot experience, may we suggest the Colossus? The biggest of the four Javelins, the Colossus is a tank that blasts into battle with a mounted flamethrower and several ordinances. -
Prepare for Titanfall
The Colossus is all about busting things up. Whether that's with various mortars, a literal firewall or a burst of lightning, you'll be charging through foes and making a lot of noise. There's also a Railgun and a Flak Cannon to strap on if you want to get even more up close and personal. -
Interceptor
You want fast? Pick the Interceptor. With an innate triple jump and three dashes, you'll be moving all around the battlefield as you pepper opponents with shots. Mark enemies with your Target Beacon to single them out and boost damage across your team. Or, just focus in yourself with this mech's range of different systems. -
The Need for Speed
Interceptor players shine in the melee arena. Among their options are an electrifying dash attack, several different elemental ninja stars, and poisonous options for decaying large groups of foes. You can also do the Naruto thing and create duplicates to confuse your opponents before hitting your final strike. -
Storm
Of all the Javelins in Anthem, the Storm is the most unique. It's not every day that your robot suit is slinging magic spells like some kind of wizard from the moon. Storms can hover in mid-air away from danger and pepper the field with damage. -
Bringing the Thunder
You've got everything you'd expect from an elemental warrior. Ice beams, lightning bolts, frost shards, and fireballs, all at your fingertips. When you charge your ultimate, you can combine all the elements into a torrent of energy that can wipe out a whole squadron. -
What's Next for Javelins?
Storm, Colossus, Ranger, and Interceptor. These are the four Javelins that Freelancers can pilot in their Anthem adventures. Will we see more variety in future Javelin designs? New abilities for existing warriors? New chances for combo attacks? Only time and BioWare's roadmap can say for sure.
