Dear Settlers,

As you know, we are aware of the current situation and working hard on solutions. This includes not only issues with the live game, but also technical challenges that are more or less “behind-the-scenes” and invisible for you, but which solution is nonetheless very important to have a sustainable and successful future for The Settlers Online.

Many of you have repeatedly asked for a more in-depth communication of what we are working on and what you can expect for the next updates. We would like to meet that request with an update on many of the points the community has raised during the last days and weeks, over on our forums.

Dear Settlers,

Since the launch of the Unity Version, we've witnessed many of you comment on issues that have appeared since its implementation into the live game. We've been working diligently since then in trying to test, troubleshoot and find solutions for these issues.

As we study the issues further, we must reiterate how important your feedback and reports are: many of you have provided critical information which is going a long way in aiding us in resolving the aforementioned issues, and we welcome any more reports with accompanying data e.g. screenshots, error-messages, reproduction steps etc.

We apologize that some of you have had a negative experience with the Unity debut. Rest assured that we continue to work hard on improving things and solving issues for the next deployment in August.

Dear settlers,

Game maintenance has ended.

The Unity version has been successfully implemented to the live servers. The client is now no longer needed to play! The game starts directly in the browser again.
Please note: It is possible that there are still chat problems in the game. We are already working on a solution, but it might take some time.

If you have any problems, please contact us in the forum or via social media channels.
