Scrap crew does not work?

[Baldurs_Gate_2]

Haven't played the game for 3+ weeks, was always online with steam and it seems, i did not receive any scrap. I have it definitely installed in Jeet's Stronghold.

The servers were shut down in October last year. Hence, any and all online features, including Scrap Crew, no longer work.

Seems WB is pretty smart. They did the same thing in Shadow of War. How about, not implenting online features in mainly single player games?

I talked with my friend, and we both came to the same idea, Unless you leave the game up 100% of the time now, You will be WAY underpowered by mid game via scrap.

Usually you should get 20 scrap per location you liberated or? It seems, i rarely get those camp scrap deliveries. Is that bugged?

[7empest]

Ugh this sucks... how often does it get delivered if you leave the game on?

[Robbie738]

Apparently you get 20 scrap per camp, per 20 minutes.

The "Scrap Crew" was for collecting scrap when you are offline, as in NOT playing. However, since they shut down the servers the Scrap Crew does NOT collect anything anymore.

Which means the two ingame challenges; A Penny Saved and Dividend cannot be achieved in the usual way.

I don't know if the time is correct. I usually get 500 scrap at the moment.

The "income" you get from the camps has nothing to do with the Scrap Crew, which is what the OP was asking about.

Fair enuff, my apologies..

Ok i just tried it with the camp supply again and it seems, i get it every 25 minutes. At least it worked the past two times and i hope it will stay that way.

Each liberated camp gives 20 scrap every 20-30ish minutes while ingame.They do not work if you are offline.
Scrap Crew used to give scrap while you were offline/not playing the game.Since servers are shutdown they no longer work at all.(very bad when single player game has to depend on a server.....)

So liberated camps still give out money as they are non server dependent,while scrap crews do nothing at all.....

I just got into this game and man is this annoying me. It's bad stewardship of the game to shut this down and not patch the game to accommodate it. Hopefully a patch comes someday.

Failing that, I wonder if it's feasible to emulate their server. You could redirect the lookup using the hosts file. It's probably a very simple, unauthenticated protocol, after all for this function to work all it needs to do is ask what time it is. But without a working server to observe, it might be hard to reverse engineer what the server response needs to be.

But my scrap crews do work
