Existing supplies on a base can be duplicated many times by placing a building while holding CTRL + clicking very fast (best reproduced by an autoclicker)

Steps To Reproduce
Join a conflict server
Spawn at an avaliable base with some supplies
Open the building menu in the command tent
Repeatedly build something while holding CTRL+fast clicking
Delete the duped buildings for extra supplies
Profit!
As you can see in the video, I started with 587 supplies and duped my way to 1197.
Additional Information
It works best when server FPS is lower, but after some tries it can be done pretty much all the time

honestly it's kind of surprising that this absolutely game breaking bug is still not fixed in 1.0.0.59

Hello klebold.
No fix has been released yet. Unfortunately I cannot provide any estimates as to when the fix will appear.

Average game start these time on official conflict servers...
Played a lot in the last weeks and one thing is certain : if a team use this exploit VS a team not using it, the exploiting team will always win. It has a huge impact on the game. I won't detail everything I've seen been done with this "infinite" amount of supplies, but it has a huge impact on the game and some people "smarter" than other with this exploit can just challenge with 1 or 2 teammates a whole 24 members enemy team.
Just more and more ppl use this exploit, 1-2 months ago it was used in one third or less of the games. Nowadays, I can't even remember a team playing fair without exploiting since days.
The games are turning into "which team will use this exploit in the most intelligent way".
A fix would be really welcome. Thx in advance.

it's disappointing that this is still such an issue. Many have reported on it including myself. Issues like this break the overall gameplay arch and trivialize key systems and play styles that contribute to the overall game. Some of the longer standing completely broken bugs like this really do have a bigger impact on the game then it sometimes might seem.

It is a huge problem now. And probably this glitch may be used to crash the game. Please take a look at this log file.

Please PLEASE can this be addressed as a priority. It's happening in nearly every game of Conflict I play on the official servers, and it absolutely ruins the balance of a match. A well coordinated handful of people can shut down an assault through duplicated supplies giving effectively infinite respawns.

Taken just last night. We are already winning and on a timer and yet still we are duping supply on a rear-line base with US MOB just up the hill about 400m away. Not pictured is 2x BTR just lighting up the hill side with auto cannon fire.
Any Dev comment on when/if this is going to be fixed?
The cat is out of the bag and as has been pointed out many times the teams that use and abuse this have a massive advantage, pushing up to opfor MOB and taking front line points advantage.
This kills supply as a resource, disrupts match speed, massively inflates bases, and gives you a speed and momentum that can't be matched unless you do the same thing.

This is a constant issue on every game I play on official servers. I also have a suspicion that the reason so many games crash so often is directly related to this, whether it be because the server freaks out directly due to this glitch or if the abundance of supplies allows people to make far more vehicles and AI than they would otherwise be able to, putting strain on the servers that would be almost impossible if supplies were being generated and transported the way that is intended and not easily replicated at will.

It seems I was lucky and the last few months that I have been playing on official servers, this is almost unnoticeable.
It seems to me that this is not a very critical problem, since you also need to be able to use supplies.
You can also always unload supplies from the base you want to capture, from all its storages, and then the defenders will not be able to defend the base for long
Most likely the problem is related to low server fps and when there are improvements in this area, it will resolve itself

@Geez hi :)
Maybe you should hide this ticket from everyone so that as few people as possible know about these game vulnerabilities?

I agree that the problem is much worse when the server FPS is under 30, but that's usually the case on official servers :D
