Supply Drops broke?

Since the little update, The games I am in, we are all experiencing no supply drops at all, we have missed the window they normally drop a few times. I couldn't find anything in here about them, anyone else having a problem?

I haven't noticed this myself, but since you have posted I will check my games and see if they are working on my end. Once I have more information I will post back here with what I have found out, in the meantime maybe on of our other staff might have an answer to this.

Yeah, it's not just me, I am in 3 separate games and nobody has had a supply drop since the update of the game, so not sure if it's just the games we are in it won't work, or if it's something new with them.

Thanks for the reply by the way!

Any luck? From the sounds of it, nobody is getting them from games started during the updated? But I haven't personally started a game after the update.

We will probably have to wait until Monday for more word from the programmers as they are currently off for the weekend.

@PrinceofHonor, @VorlonFCW:

May I assume that this issue is teed up for a discussion with @Sasri, @freezy and @Alkyonor in the morning?

This is a real problem, and it is affecting multiple games.

Montana, where at in Montana are you living, or maybe I am just assuming! I am also in Montana

@TimothyFischer: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I am not a native of the great state of Montana nor have I ever lived there.

My user name is a mish-mash of the Montana-class battleships, "BB" being the U.S. Navy abbreviated nomenclature for its former battleships. You may see other forum participants also use the other U.S. Navy abbreviations, which have been adopted by most NATO countries, such as CV for aircraft carrier, CC for cruiser, and DD for destroyer as shorthand for our in-game naval units. The U.S. Navy also used "SS" for submarines, but that's rarely used in forum discussions because of the obvious confusion with the paramilitary/military formations of N-zi Germany's Schutzstaffel.

yah, been having this same problem on some drops games.

i had it for a long period then it got fixed. now it's broken again :(

Oh, okay, well that is a cool story and great information though! I must admit, I was a little excited for a second thinking I had met someone who resides in God's Country with me! :)

Hey guys, first of all: You only receive supply drops in 4 of your games simultaneously. If you are playing a lot of games you may not get them in some (this also counts for games you archived, it still counts games for some days after you became inactive). This is to prevent excessive supply drop farming.

If you don't have as many games running and still don't get drops anymore, there might be a related bug at hand that we had in the past for some users, in that case please submit a detailed bug ticket.

I am playing in only two games, and I have not received an air drop in one game in 5+ days, and none in the other for 4+ days. No other players have received air drops in those time frames, either.

Bug reports have been submitted, as requested.

Currently playing six 22 player maps and have no games archived

Still experiencing no supply drops at all.

Have submitted ticket on 23/2/18 and told its a known issue.

Will it be fixed ?

Yes your ticket is on the list.

Update: To fix the issue for most players we globally disabled spawning of new supply drops and enabled it again afterwards. While the supply system is "recalibrating" you still might get no crates for some more days, but in some days it should be fixed vor everyone.

So please look again in some days and report back if you still got no drops (but remember, only in 4 of your games!)
