There was a change to how FFF searches for existing stories to update, but it should be matching more, not less.
They were all AO3 links and there was like 60 in my update which were impacted. They came from AO3 email alerts in my FFF gmail account and so I don't think the URLs would be different--other than maybe I added them as "view_full_work=true" and the update URL would not have that, but that's the only thing I can think. Most (I didn't check all of them) had the same title and author. A few had some custom metadata fields like when I read it, etc.

I just tried to update a fic that was one I noticed did the dupe issue and then I entered the URL manually and I got "FanFicFare doesn't recognize chapters in existing epub, epub is probably from a different source. Use Overwrite to force update". I tried it out on a few other fics I updated today and they all gave the same error so I will do the force overwrite on them today. All the epubs were made with FFF. Let me know if you need more info and I will try to provide it!

Edit: After more testing most of the books when I try to update them just say no new chapters so that may be unrelated.
