Battlefield 5 has finally tackled the annoying issue with its in-game currency “Company Coins”. Now there is compensation for those affected. But what does it look like?
What happened? Many players were waiting for this. Battlefield 5 has resolved the issues with Company Coins. The annoying bug has finally been fixed. Many are now eagerly waiting to see how the compensation will be.
Because DICE already promised some time ago that players affected by the pesky bug will be taken into account retroactively and compensated. Now it is clear how.
What does the compensation look like? As the developers of Battlefield 5 have announced on Twitter and Reddit, all players affected by the bug will now receive a Company Coin bonus.
The amount of this bonus is individual. It is based on the number of coins that players lost since the last compensation a few weeks ago and the final resolution of the problem. The calculation is based on the XP earned during this period.
When will the bonus be received? As DICE stated on Twitter, the compensation has already been delivered. It will automatically be added to the inventory of the affected players – you don’t have to do anything for it. You can view your Company Coin balance in the upper right corner of the in-game menu.
This problem still remains: Currently, at the end of a round, the amount of coins earned may still be displayed incorrectly. This is a display error in the user interface, and the developers are working to eliminate this bug as well.
You don’t have to worry about it. Only an incorrect amount is displayed in this “End of Round” screen. However, you will receive the correct amount of Company Coins credited and will not lose any currency.
This was the problem with Company Coins: Players could no longer earn additional Company Coins in Battlefield 5 once they reached the highest level in the game, level 50. This bug had been troubling fans since the launch. As more and more players reached max level, an increasing number of players were affected by this problem.
Due to the bug, affected players missed out on a lot of in-game currency and thus the opportunity to purchase more cosmetics. This caused considerable discontent among fans. Especially when it became known that EA wanted to introduce Battlefield Coins, a real-money currency, even though there were issues with Company Coins, many emotions boiled over.
