I'm experiencing the same issue; PvP "Find Targets" now cost way more diamonds than the PvP match awards so that base upgrades will be impossible until the error is fixed.
I'm on IOS and stuck in the same boat. I get raided for millions but only earn 27 diamonds. Let's see how long this take to turn around. Need to spend what hourly diamonds I have on some kind of weapon upgrade I guess.
This "upgrade" is a total disaster. The Vault run 18 to 25 Diamonds, only a fraction of the 125 Diamond cost to find an opponent. The Drone Weapons are programmed upside down, so that upgrades actually weaken the weapon. Clan Wars time changes are totally screwed up. The algorithm has been tweeked so that easy opponents require multiple medkits to defeat.
We fixed an issue that may be this -- some PvP matchups weren't awarding Diamonds properly. We fixed this a few hours ago, could you confirm whether the issue is still occurring?

My understanding is that the payouts problem has been resolved, HOWEVER, the difficulty of the battles is still substantially more difficult than it should be. Full PLAYER HEALTH @ TIER 28 is requiring multiple MedKits.
Also, there were reports that drone upgrades actually "degrade" the drone instead of increasing it's power.
Thank You !!! ... for inquiring and following up ... I think this is the first time a GLU representative has bothered to contact us in 2016.

The payouts appear to hev been corrected. However, the game now has some sluggish frame-rate and the battle difficulty has been heightened, thus diminishing the effectiveness of the purchased (gold) weapons.
Oh oh...I just logged into "android" CKS and got the message that server maintenance will be occurring in 18+ hours. Yet, if I log in at 24 hrs after I can receive a "gift." Based on the posts above, I hope a good pvp diamond output will happen~
Thank you GLU for communicating the progress. I too feel the mission difficulty is still requiring more medkits then usual. I hope this too gets resolved.
Well one good thing from the update is that my game has stoped crashing. I am on iphone 4 and when ever i use to complain to customer service abt the crashing they would only recomend updating my phone to a newer version. When ever we get content updates the game becomes playable but after like a month or so the crashing comes back. Lets see how long this time the game stays playable.
This is because that each release brings with it a new "install" and the "junk" gets wiped out. The reason you're crashing has little to do with a new release, but is caused by the accumulation of maps, weapons, images, parts, etc etc etc.
Clear out the junk and you're crashes will stop. Easier said than done on iOS unfortunately.
Try to locate an app that does this for you since nobody has discovered how to do this manually on Apple's devices OR at least they're not saying.

Passed the info on. Has anyone themselves experienced the drone upgrade thing, could screenshot the "After this upgrade, drone power will be X" screen?
Also, could you give more details on what you're seeing with medkits? QA checked and didn't run into any issues.
Here is what I've posted elsewhere and what many players are experiencing across ALL platforms (i.e. Google, Amazon and iOS) ...
**********
I know many are reeling from this latest release of CKS, v5.0.2, with the most notable difference being the opponent strength; not only has their resilience been increased ...
... their "attack" power is beyond what one would expect from a TIER 28 opponent.
My experience places our new foes @ the TIER 29 Level.
Consequently, this game has moved from OFFENSE to DEFENSE in one fell swoop. I cannot in good conscience recommend any of the weapons being offered in Global OR VIP events; the Global HEAVIES will be obsolete before you apply the first upgrade .....
**********
Now the above is troubling because we're at TIER 28 and 28.5 weapons are next to useless without the use of MedKits.
This should NOT be.
Thank you for following up and PLEASE have the developers remedy this before there's nobody left playing the game. Participation is down at least 30% and continues to fall, based upon PvP AP Scoring trends.

Its always risky clearing cache with 3rd party apps as u said if someone has done this please let others know bc it would help a lot of players on the ios format as there is no way to clear game cache in ios
I have noticed on the latest version 5.0.2 for Android, the game no longer piles up heavily on cache. Typical in the past, I've seen my game cache hit over 100 MB and play became prone to crashing (my older device when it got over 10 MB would get very choppy frame rate, and crash during PVP). Now it stays around 3-4 MB.
The crashes hasent appeared uptill now but the pvp is still laging even campaings r lagging but playable. Its much better then reloading the game after every pvp. Thanks glu for fixing the crashing issue. I hope it stays the same
they fix something and gave a whole lot of new bugs for us to live with anyway. Clan war timing change by its own .. how bizare is that ? I know it may sound like I am an alien believer or area 51 hard core preacher by saying those lines but yes it indeed happen.
Clan war just eludes you and set by its own sweet time just when are you ready to set an attack for the clan war .
You said that right. How many times now, I've watched the Clan War time clock count down to 0, then mysteriously reset to 4 hours, higher, or even End Of Season (when it's not).
And not to mention the continuance of small clans with one or two hexes that will Resync you every time with a forced restart, or a hex that when attacked, just stays at the loading screen until that war times out.

Other than that, the upgrade is great. SMH.

Finally fixed by GLU.
