Trace Charm Proficiency Bugged

Posts: 51 ✭✭✭
According to the description, unlocking a "Trace Charm Proficiency" node should increase the number of Fragments I recover from Traces affected by my Trace Charm.
I have increased my Proficiency to lv. 4. This should mean that I receive 4 additional Fragments for every Trace Charm Trace that I return, for a total of 5 Fragments per Trace.
Instead, I only receive 1 additional Fragment, which is equal to a Proficiency of lv. 1 instead of a Proficiency of lv. 4. I just cast the Trace Charm on a Trace to create 5 additional Traces, and each Trace only awarded me 2 Fragments. I tested this twice, once with 5 Newt Scamander Trace Charm Traces and another time with 5 Fred Weasley Trace Charm Traces.
Also, the "Rare Trace Bonus" also does not appear to be having any affect at all. If I cast the Trace Charm on a High Foundable, it replicates High Foundables. If I cast it on a Severe Foundable, it replicates Severe Foundables. If I cast it on an Emergency Foundable, it replicates Emergency Foundables. The rarity of the Traces is not increased at all.
Please fix this.

I cast a trace charm on a three headed dog, four new emergency mysterious artefacts Foundables popped up and after I defeated the three headed dog, the other Foundables had disappeared.
My trace charm has 2 updates to boost the number of traces I get ("Art of Hapiness" and "Czech Mate") and 3 to boost fragment counts ("Lost and Foundables", "Foretelling foundables" and "Deep dive"). So I should see 3 extra traces and get 4 fragements each time.
I just used the charm twice and got 5 traces each time and only 2 fragments from each trace - shame as 3x4=12 which is more than 5x2=10, so I lost out on a couple of Percival Graves and Ministry Newts :-(

Fragment count displayed in the rewards flow after returning Foundables spawned by the Trace Charm is inaccurate and differs from the Fragment count shown in the rewards summary drop-down. The rewards summary shows the most accurate Fragment count progress.
We are also looking into an issue with traces spawned by the Trace Charm that disappear.
I thought the charm profiency affected the number of additional spawns generated. I haven't even registered that each spawn returned more than one fragment.
Also, my experience is that once you return the "original", all remaining "copies" disappear. I don't have enough data to back up this hypothesis, but it's worth trying. Not sure if this is by design or a bug, though.
@Raggsokk There are two different powerups, Efficacy and Proficiency. Efficacy increases the number of Traces that the Trace Charm reveals, and Proficiency is supposed to increase both the number of Fragments returned when you return that Trace, and the amount of Family XP you earn when you return that Trace. Currently, the number of Fragments returned only increments once, but the amount of Family XP you earn increments every time you increase Proficiency.
Regarding Trace Charm Traces disappearing, it's an issue that's well-known to players, but I don't think WB Games has acknowledged that it's an issue. To get the Traces back, you need to restart the app. Personally, I just restart the app before I cast any Charm, because they all are a bit buggy. Well, at least the Trace Charm and the Greenhouse Charm are both buggy and both summon items that will disappear on me if I don't restart the app before casting the Charm.
@Bliznik, your screenshots show that both Newt and Fred are maxed on fragments, so you should not be able to get any more fragments until you place that image. Are you getting overflow with Trace Charm - more than 10/10 or 18/18? Or are the screenshots illustrating another bug? Can you clarify?
@cosk62 Here are the next two screenshots where I was not maxed. Only 2 Fragments.
@HPWUrobert I don't see this in the consolidated list of bugs, has this made it on the radar? I am also only getting 2 fragments from Trace Charm foundables with 4 upgrades to proficiency, exactly like the OP.
I have also found this bug. I had the trace charm activated, which spawned 3 magizoo newts. I should be collecting 3 fragments per trace too. I caught the first, in the animation it showed +3 fragments, taking me to 3/7. However, right at the bottom, it only showed 2/7. So the next one, I caught and took screenshots. It again showed +3 fragments, taking me to 5/7, however it only showed 4/7 at the bottom...
Same for me. proficiency boost is not working. 'Only' 2 fragments per trace. Efficacy is ok, providing extra traces.
I have both skills Gethsemane’s Pickle and Deep Dive which gives the description of increasing the fragments by the foundables spawned by the trace charm. I only get 2 fragments instead of 3.
I have the same issue as the OP. It’s very discouraging to spend those precious green books on TC proficiency and then find that it doesn’t work. I’m also +4 and am only getting +2 fragments on each TC spawn.
I also have a similar issue. In my case I'm supposed to get an extra foundable fragment when using the Trace Charm. According to the numbers shown in the beginning of the results screen, this does happen. However, the summary at the end of the rewards screen lists only a single fragment. Even worse, I can't see the extra fragment in the registry page either.
For example, a couple of minutes ago I got twice the Quidditch Captain Cedric Diggory. I was on 3/5 fragments and with the return of the first fragment I was supposed to be able to prestige it. With the return of the second foundable I was going then to be on 2/5 with a green star. Since I only got a single fragment of both foundables I'm now at 0/5 with a green star. It may not be that big of a difference, but it adds up over time. I don't see the point of investing in a "better" Trace Charm, when I don't see a real result at the end.
See the same behavior as ELISAWILSON.
I have the same issue. Invested in Deep Dive and should get another fragment but still only getting 2 per returned trace.
I'm experiencing the same issue.
I invested in "Mind Freak", "Foretelling Foundables" and "Deep Dive" and should receive a total of 3 fragments per trace, but it is registering only a total of 2. Before returning the trace below of Tom Riddle, I had 7/10.
I noticed this bug at least after using the Trace Charm 3 times so far
I finally managed to take screenshots at the right time to show the bug:
I noticed from the other posts in this topic that the people who are supposed to receive more than 2 fragments only receive 2. And those who should get 2 fragments only receive one.
I am also having this issue. Missed out on the extra fragments of Firenze, Lupin, and Dumbledore :/ I can provide screenshots if necessary.
I am also having the same issue. I should be getting 4 fragments, but am only getting 2. I also have screenshots that show my starting fragment count For the foundable, then returning it the rewards scroll screen shows that I earned +2 (from trace charm) +1 (normal) but it should show +3 from the trace charm based on me leveling up my charm, then the rewards screen shows me only getting 2 fragments.
Trace charm was working fine for me yesterday. Today, the rewards screen initially showed the correct 2 fragments (only one level of proficiency atm), but then the final screen and the registry screen only counted a single fragment. I had a single fragment of Dumbledore before this return.
I didn't screenshot the registry because I still had several other Dumbledore traces to return before I hit the support button.
same problem, invested heavily in Trace Charm proficiency, it was working fine at +1 level, returning 2 fragments, but+2 level (Deep Dive) is not working. Still returning 2 fragments instead of 3.
I actually think Deep Dive increased the number of stored spellcasts instead. I believe I should have 3 and instead I have 4, which isn't really helpful as the Trace Charms are hard to earn
Only gives 2 fragments no matter how much you upgrade the proficiency node.
Just came here to say this.
I should be getting 3 fragments per trace but only getting 2
Trace charm proficiency supposed to return 3 fragment at level 3, but it only return 2 fragment per trace that result from the trace charm. Please explain why the text is not matching with the skill in the proficiency description.
I decided not to upgrade my Proficiency above 2 fragments until this is fixed. However, I *do* have the same issue as @Lauraliusm and @ElisaWilson: the top part of the rewards screen tries to give me an additional fragment.
In this video (link below) I'm 0/13 on Lupin (spawned from Trace Charm) before catching. The top part of the reward screen shows 3/13 while my current Proficiency doesn't even allow that. The bottom shows 2/13.

This is also happening to me. Threw down the resources to upgrade from 2 to 3 fragments, and still getting only 2.
I am also experiencing this same bug. I have unlocked both "Foretelling Foundables" and "Deep Dive" which should be resulting in returns of 3 fragments now, but I continue to receive only 2, regardless of which Foundable I cast the charm against.
The same bug :( .
Plus for the third time I have enough resources to unlock next +1 fragment.... and I wonder ... when can we expect fix => in a ca. Month or rather half a year.... It would be nice to know ;).
I have had this happen twice, but I have tried to not too ch the original fragment. In one instance I placed my trace charm on a three headed dog and 6 burning tree traces appeared. I successfully placed a tree and then all the rest of the trees had disappeared and only the dog remained.
this also happened with a snake and burning trees.
so... instead of retrieving the awards for 6 traces I only got 1....this happened two times tonight!!! What do I do?????
