Supercell's update and system announcement, "Update on the Ore Bug Exploit Fix", was published on 2026-02-17. This Clash Players edition reorganizes the announcement so the dates, requirements, rewards, changes and media can be checked in one place without changing the official conditions.
What this announcement covers
The sections below keep the source's technical details and sequence where they affect interpretation. Supercell's wording is presented as an official announcement, while the surrounding structure and headline are editorial to Clash Players.
Supercell wanted to share an update on the Ore issue that first appeared back in October.
Later this month, Supercell’ll be rolling out a permanent solution to address this issue and restore the intended balance of ore progression. As part of this process, any ore gained beyond what was originally intended will be adjusted accordingly, which means that some players that have used the exploit actively will end with negative ore balance.
For players affected by this adjustment - whether the additional ore was gained unintentionally or not - there will continue to be multiple ways to progress and rebuild ore balance through regular gameplay.
Supercell know this situation has been confusing and that the wait for a resolution has been longer than anyone would have liked. Thank you sincerely for your patience and understanding while Supercell worked to make things right.
Supercell’ll see you soon in Clash On, where Supercell’ll be sharing much more information and some exciting details about what’s coming next.
