True, but the announcement from Blizzard didn’t state different start times for different regions, so it should be a global enablement…
I’ve checked on EU, and there’s a community buff icon active for double bounties but I haven’t done any bounties to confirm that they’re actually giving the caches. We have threads on EU Tech Support claiming they’re not being granted, even though the buff icon is there.
It is even more weird on EU (nothing new for Blizzard, though).
First run, 30 min or so, I got, but 2nd run, 10 mins ago, I didn’t. Both were public.
Here I made 2 runs and got both times.
This seems to only happen when joining pub bounty games through the “Join Game” UI. If I start a private game it shows the double bounty buff. This is on EU by the way. I haven’t tried/tested on US.
I closed the game and the launcher. I restarted the launcher and logged out of US. I then logged in with EU selected. I started 7 games throught the “Join Game” UI button. All of those 7 games were bugged with no double bounty buff. I waited about 1.5 to 2 mins between each game restart. I next started a private T-16 and of course the double bounty buff was there. It seems like the implementation is through the buff and some game servers have not been updated to produce games with the modified buff.
Can we get tech support to check and update the servers?
No it isn’t, I tested it , had seasonal buff with double bounties, so i thought lets do Gr, see if it gets validated, broke my record and no validation.
Problem is mainly on EU server, American server works fin as usual, shame i have so much lag there otherwise i would swap to those.
Hi, this is on EU, hardcore game mode in case that matters.
Someone on Season 21 - Trials of Tempests: Double Bounties mentioned that “You have to exit game and create a new one, and keep doing so until you get a game with the buff active.”
I just wanted to give feedback here that I tried that, I restarted bnet and had the text for the buff active. Then I started a public game. When we finished the bounties and collected we all got only 5 boxes. I looked at the buff icon and the text was missing again. So sometime during the grind, the buff disappeared. So even starting a game with the buff active is no guarantee.
If it helps, today I spoke to a friend who claimed the bug does not happen in private/pre-made games at all . So I completed all bounties alone, with the buff, invited a friend, and we both got double bounties.
Still sucks that I have to relog till I get the buff but now at least I may have a way to keep it active.
