Re: Not Getting Prize Bulbs by XP

Same here. It was fine yesterday and ever since the Origin update today I am not getting prize bulbs via XP, only from the challenges. I tested in on a few different characters, rebooted my system again after the first time it failed, and no bulbs are being gained.

This needs to be fixed ASAP, it's a core part of how we earn bulbs and just play the game, this is a serious problem and a major disincentive to play right now.

    @Shadowphinx101Yeah, I did, may be why it's not working, it hits 4k and resets so no bulb as it never get to 5k. Hope it's an easy fix.

  • @Iron_Guard8 Well, one of the devs just said on the BFN discord that they 'We believe we were able to fix the issue with the missing prize map, challenges displaying incorrectly and the Battle Arena matches not counting last night'

    @Shadowphinx101 This is not part of the bug today, Not sure exactly when they changed it from 5,000 to 4,000 but I do think overall it was a good change to make so you earn prize bulbs a little faster!

    I do believe this is the problem and should hopefully only need one line of code to be changed(Changing the bulb requirement internally to 4,000)  but can’t be sure. I can’t think of anything else that would’ve impacted this in such a way.

    @EA_David Yes, the bulbs are earnable again. Thank you. I noticed that after getting a bulb my counter started at 3,500 till the next bulb. A nice surprise.

    It's working for em today and also 4k per bulb which is nice, got a few bulbs done in some TT matches this morning and it's nice that the cost has been brought down ever further per bulb.

    Now I just need my friends list in Origin to cease with the random offline problem that is now persisting after even a total shutdown and reboot. >.<
