Forum Discussion
Where did you "hear" the rumors about the patch? Do you have a link maybe. In that case I would refrain from calling the EA customer support, because I have the feeling that this forum here won't do much good if I look at the size of the thread and take into account how old this bug actually already is.
@grimmace2 I hope there is a patch today. If there isn't I think I am done with this game altogether. (Yes it's a defeatist attitude, but my sunny disposition can only take so much.)
It is demoralizing to have the same issue day after day. I had it yesterday as well as today. The daily crate will show credit for one duplicate but disappear into the transition of the main menu. I also tested a couple Hero crates and they did close to the same thing. Its only exception, when it had 5 items within. A Blue (dupe), Green (dupe), Green (dupe), 35 Parts, 100 credits, not showing credit for the 800, but showing the two 400 then disappearing as I transition to the main menu. That is only 1600 credits of possibly 100,000 or more than I have now lost forever? (Not holding my breath that any of us get any of our backlog of credits.)
I truly think that this website, EA ANSWERS HQ was designed to be a place to distract people from their problems and keep them distracted from the issue. Since I started posting here about a month ago, I have yet to interact with anyone associated with EA. I have posted @ to EA staff like Atic and David. But none of them have stated directly, "Paodok, we have the information we need and someone is working on." I don't think that is too much to ask for, simple confirmation of the post and then words stating the problem is being worked on. Instead, we have to guess if some "magical patch" is coming through and wonder will it actually fix our problem or make it worse again! I'm still shocked how badly this has been handled. If you see the posts I did where I informed other people who have our same problem to come to this thread. That example ould be followed by EA to inform us. It took some time to do, but it was worth getting us all on the same page (pun intended.) You cannot tell me that someone at EA couldn't do the same thing where I tagged those people in the posts.
This started off as an annoyance with the repeated message for the "I give up" emote... (that emote being the issue is so poetic if you think about it.) As well as the Error 2,495. Now it has become a different animal that has consumed so much of my time and it has left me disappointed daily for a game that I had so much hope for. I really feel like part of me is dying because of how underwhelmed I have become to a franchise that I once poured every dollar into. I was alive (4 years old) when the first movie came out "The Star Wars". I went with my family and from the moment I left the theater, I was hooked. I bought every toy made, every EU book I could get my hands on and sadly, I even geeked out and played the RPG board games of Star Wars. I guess, in the end, my only choice is follow this new Disney mantra (who are trying to make this franchise about the NEW generation.) Disney seems to be echoing the tagline of the last movie: "Let the past die, KILL IT if you have too." I will reluctantly let that part of my past die and let the next generation spend its "fanatic money" on the franchise. I think they will feel the pinch in their bottom line if there are more people like myself, doing the same.
Sorry for the rant, I am sure in the end I won't give up on this franchise, but I do feel like more CARE should have been put into the process of fixing these issues.

I's indeed demoralizing to have this issue every day.
Almost 6 weeks now for me.
Called the EA customer support twice and the only thing they say is that it will be fixed but they couldn't give a solution time.
Tomorrow it's Tuesday and let's hope that there will be a patch to fix this. More and more gamers are affected by this bug.
- Anonymous8 years agoAgreed I'm 36 the first movie I ever remember was new hope Darth Vader one arming a rebel hooked .
Few years ago star wars the old republic was released I left world of Warcraft and lots of friends behind in a heartbeat only to eventually leave the game because of ea,s love for the cartel market which became the whole point .skidious was my character .now I can't stand to even think about playing it
Please don't let another great star wars game go flush down the toilet - Anonymous8 years agohello, I have the same problem lack of credits for duplicates and the level in my career differs from that during the game.

Confirmation of both the problem and the work being done to fix it have been given by EA staff numerous times within this thread and others. All of the following clearly indicate that someone is working on this issue, and the latest responses were provided within the past week:
Reply #23: EA_David:
Thank you for the posts, I don't have any new updates, but we haven't forgotten about this.
I understand that this is frustrating, and hopefully we'll have more substantial information soon.Reply #28: EA_David:
Thank you for this info Rottingface. I'll check your logs, they should prove quite illustrative. Do you happen to know what the daily crate duplicate was?
Reply #32: EA_David:
Hey, @RickaySpanish I sent you a PM on this issue, can you check it out and get back to me?
@Rottingface Thanks for the extra info. There's no need to write them down, don't worry about that. 🙂 What you've provided has been very helpful.Reply #37: EA_David:
@cb042 Very astute, from the log trawling I've done I think you're on the right track.
Thank you, and thanks again to everyone for their contributions.Reply #39: EA_David:
@grimmace2 Yes it looks like this is recent for you. I can see a duplicate with the matching refund for you on the 16th, but not after that.
Hopefully this will help with nailing why accounts are getting put into this state. it's probably not a factor, but would you have played your game on another person's console after the 16th at any point?
Reply #111: EA_David
@grimmace2 Yep, those issues are definitely related.
Sorry that I don't have any news on this, but I want to reiterate that the studio are aware of this and hopefully we'll have an update soon.Reply #141: EA_Atic:
Hello Everyone!
We're still looking in to your reports about duplicate Star Cards not granting Credits, and we don't want to make any promises until we're completely sure we've isolated and fixed the bug that's causing it. Keep sending through your reports, and we'll keep you updated on our progress.
The teams at EA/DICE
Reply #166: EA_David:
Hi, as you've noted today's patch didn't address this issue, but this fix is still in the works.
I'm trying to get an official statement about backfilling missed duplicate credits, but I'll update this when I get any info.
Et cetera... So please, even though you are understandably upset about the bug, try to be reasonable and don't act like EA is ignoring the issue.

@EA_David, @EA_AticI may have to write this three times because EA limits "Too many users mentioned. You can @mention only 20 user(s) in a post."
Here is a list of everyone whom has posted at least once this thread. That is 56 individual members on EA Answers HQ on this thread alone with the "duplicate" star cards not being properly credited to the profile of the person playing. That is 56 persons who purchased EA Star Wars Battlefront II, mostly the Elite Trooper Deluxe Version on any platform either by digital download or retail Boxed disc. At the very minimum that is $ 3,359.44 non tax dollars for just 56 "Base" game revenue or $ 4,479.44 for the Elite Edition if all 56 purchased it.
Again fifty-six (56) people here on this thread alone who have posted a "bug" and are still waiting for the game to play as it should. Many of us have been waiting since November 17th 2017. November 17th 2017 is over 65 days ago, or rather 60 days counting Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day and Martin Luther King Jr Day. Regardless that is 60 days where the game is by definition "Defective"
Many of the people here, including myself have provided video, screen shots as evidence or chatted with EA directly about this issue. Many of us are out of options, withholding crates, not progressing because of EA, yes blaming EA for taking away another form of progressing with purchasing credits. And I should state to everyone that my post, with other retail outlets withdrawing "Target selling Star Wars Battlefront II 2100 Crystal Packs " the ones still on the shelves DO NOT WORK Blackhawk network Redemption.

And if we were all SHAREHOLDERS, which brings up a different point, if any one of us is a shareholder, EA would experience a drop, because at this point I "personally" will not purchase another EA game if this lack of attention continues.
Respectfully I cannot speak for each individual listed here, but for me I believe we all deserve an answer. - Anonymous8 years ago

Make that 57... I haven't been able to get credits for duplicates since last week and it's an ongoing matter. At "least" I seem to get scraps...

@mysweetescape13 Thank you for taking the time to tag all the people in this post. I can only imagine how long that took you. We all appreciate the hard work that those of us who being constructive and looking for a solution. Many of us have full-time jobs, or multiple jobs, family obligations, kid obligations, etc. Doing all this to get noticed is doing something "extra" and it is time consuming. At the very least it infringes on our gaming time.
Kudos my friend.

It's Tuesday but unfortunately there is no patch.........................
So I still have to wait to buy some crates (over 100.000 credits saved).......
Loosing my patience over here :-(
- 8 years agoHere too, no credit refund on duplicates. Didn't save up my credits, but probably should have.
- 8 years ago@mysweetescape13
Thank you for goin out of your way to write these messages, For all of us with this issue this has gone on way to long, Its just a joke that EA/DICE lack this much effort to paying customers, This kind of bug is game breaking for all of us.
130,000 credits unused because this is still a problem I've recorded many box openings for proof but EA has enough already. EA's greed really shows with the lack of communication and bug fixes with this game. - 8 years ago
Still no fix this week. Just bought a crate... no change.... nothing from EA.

Hey, @EA_David this is answer #300 on this thread, time for an update on the issue, maybe?
- 8 years ago
Or with 300 messages maybe we get a sticky until the issue is resolved?
- Anonymous8 years agoAgreed. This should get stickied until it is resolved. Especially since it seems to be happening to more and more people. In fact, I would assume it is happening to many who just haven't noticed yet.
I really wish it was a higher priority for the devs as it is a pretty game breaking bug for those afflicted. I really sucks not being able to open crates without putting yourself at a huge disadvantage, and it sucks even more not knowing if/when you will ever be able to open them properly. - 8 years agoI am also now experiencing this bug. It started yesterday for me. 4 consecutive crates have now yielded 0 credits for duplicates.
I have 46 epics and this is now going to severely hinder my progression. I have the standard digital version on PS4. Hyperfire1138 (PSN). - Anonymous8 years agoRepresentitive of this place is not a technical person of BF2
and he seems to ask and just wait like us.
He said those people inside knows, for sure (well now god even knows this dup. matter), therefore without telling any clear statement which we're all miserably waiting any update for this problem.
As we all know last week update 1.1 for units and hero 99% understandable for game balance. Now, it is time for fix this dup. matter etc. what's real priority for this BF2 indeed?
Nowadays, I don't even open daily crate not buying just like youguys
of course my acc. over 30 40 50k as time goes on.
(Shocking that there even people who stocked over 100k)
How meaningless playing BF2 without any progress, even though the game is great for first month game had released.
Now myself even think that this matter might not fix for so long
as now already become huge calamity our game life.
I know it is not a simple fundamental calculus and need time to investigate why and how gonna fix it as work properly like before
I'm just very curious couldn't just roll back? as its starcard working perfectly right (whether there are much progression and every individual acc matter involved all over the world) of course those people who have not this matter more argue. - 8 years ago
At this point, I would be happy to just know if we're gonna get compensated retroactively for the lost credits. I currently have over 250k saved credits, and my progression has halted completely.
- Anonymous8 years agoYeagh I'm done now no patch today has finnaly annoyed me to the max . my friends who won't touch this game with a bargepole because ea run it might have been right after all :
