Wrong progress prediction due to generic and streamer-specific drops not progressing simultaneously

[ywwa]

Watching channel that has own drop and generic drop does not progress generic one, however watching channel that was only generic drops enabled works as expected

Watching channel that was Generic and Streamer bound drops do not progress both of them at the same time

The time remaining shown in the miner is mostly just a guess, because twitch itself doesn't report progress frequently or accurately. Also, these drops are progressing for me, are you sure they are actually not progressing?

[Windows200000]

It does seem like progress is reported less accurately than expected, I saw the real 50% on the 60 minute door, but it showed only ~5% on the 180min metal door.

the generic only progress once you get a drop from a streamer with their specific drop, they dont progress simultaneously

[Windows200000]

the generic only progress once you get a drop from a streamer with their specific drop, they dont progress simultaneously !

@Ardougne That still wouldn't explain a 1hr drop being half way done in TDM (30min) and a 3hr drop being at 5% (9min), while twitch correctly shows the second drop at 16%.

they arent tracking and not progressing as they should it seems. you should be getting progress on both at the same time as the streamer specific ones.

Not sure about this, as it never happened for me, even with the original TwitchDropsMiner.
If it is a bug, then it was already there in the original script.

I could also see it being the new priority system that changed the absolute priority value which could maybe cause a problem somewhere else. It definitely is progressing and I think @ywwa mistook inaccurate progress prediction for no progress.

It's really weird how some are accurate and some are not...

I ran program for multiple hours (more than 2) And I am positive that no progression on generic drops is being made whilst watching steamer with 2 active drops (generic & streamer bound)
If the streamer drop is claimed and continue to watch same stream then generic drop progresses as intended
else only the streamer bound progresses

Always verified progress thru twitch.tv/inventory and not the program

Can confirm the base drops campaign won't progress if you're watching a stream with a unique campaign and you haven't completed the unique drop.

[Windows200000]

I guess it's 2 things at the same time? The drop not progressing while another one is sounds to be more likely a twitch thing to me. That would also explain the inaccurate progress shown in TDM.

Does anyone know whether the same thing happens when watching manually?

When actually watching stream on twitch then both generic and streamer drops progress at the same time

Well, that's an issue then. I have no idea how to fix it, since the bot is already almost watching the stream as a human would.

Maybe it would have to be more frequent than every 20s, or maybe send the minute-watched thing again? If someone figures it out I'll fix it, but TDM does still seem to get the drops in time.

[Windows200000]

Something is just weird with the generic drop, I just had to watch like 2s of the stream to finish claiming the last6 one, because it was showing 0s remaining in the miner and wouldn't watch when it was at like 99.7%.

Afaik you can only get generic drops from a streamer after you've got their own unique drop. I believe this was changed a while back.

For me TDM tries to farm the generic drops before it it farms the unique drops, which fails due to the above reason.

@ywwa Are you sure this is the case, then? @L-Mustang claims the opposite.

Also if this is the case it shouldn't really be an issue, because afaik the miner would still claim the drop it "accidentally" mined instead. At the latest in the hourly refresh.

Did they actually change something about overlapping drops?
Yesterday when I was checking thru website, both drops progressed for me at the same time 🤔

@L-Mustang ?

This is my claim history for this round of Rust drops (bar 1). The ones in the red boxes are generic drops, each requiring 1 hour, consecutively, up to a maximum of 5 hours. Pretty much all of these were claimed with TDM. Most of the generic drops are unlocked after all the streamer-specific drops have been claimed. The ones I unlocked early I recall due to TDM not switching to a different stream once unlocking the streamer-specific drop for said stream.

Here are some people confused with the change. Generic and streamer-specific used to progress simultaneously before this.

Oh so they've actually changed something not so long ago

Doesn't cancel the fact that for me generic and unique drops were progressing for some reason together,but w/e i guess

@Windows200000 Should this issue be closed now ?

[Windows200000]

@ywwa I'll leave this open, because TDM still reports progress incorrectly. I have no idea whether there is any way to fix this, because there might be no client-facing indication of "generic" progress being blocked. Unless this is a universal change applying to all campaigns.
