HI, so, I eventually managed to connect to play some online games, still hit-n-miss if the game actually stays connected or not.
Playing against some people and they are able to build up a massive army at an insane speed while I'm still trying to gather basic resources.
Are there some trick / tips that help them get their production running so fast?

Hello,

i can create a game and my firend can see it in the multiplayer lobby. but if he wants to join their is always the same issue. connection is not possible. we tried it ingame and we tried it with ubisoft conect.
any tipps`?

Since the sawmill was nerfed to a 1:1 log-lumber ratio I noticed the gameplay got extremely slow and boring.

I am not against the sawmill nerf in general. I think it is better than having a 1:2 or even 1:4 ratio like before

But I see two problems:

These are my thoughts about it.

Forster: Is to slow - for a good production we need 4 lumbers and 4 sawmills. With fish as booster.

AI: what you have done to them? Improvement to stop building and exploring.
Normally they where knocking on my door very really, so that it was some kinda challenging.
Now the don't leave the base, they don't have big military.

Game freezes when he try to save, i have to switch to desktop and go back to play again.

Players don't endorse anybody, neither i can endorse more than 1 player per match.

Multiplayer waiting time in casual...
"I still don't understand why this is multiplayer based", while previous The Settlers are solo player based.
2vs2 casual minimum 5 minutes waiting time, 80% of the players leave within the first 10 minutes, either disconnect, or just leave.
4vs4 casual minimum 15 minutes waiting time, 80% of 1-2 players leave due disconnect or just leave.

This is by far the worst The Settlers i ever played.

Stop forcing us to play this in multiplayer, make it solo player.

Increase population limit.

Rework the entire economy.
Bread, meat and grapes are overrated and not even needed.
99% of the time, i don't build them, for what?
To take up space and population?
Oh but now you can say, you can sell them at the harbor.
No need to build a harbor, the money is useless.

Stone roads and donkey carriers, waste of resources and population.
Since you can research that carriers can use cards on dirt roads.

3 characters to choose from, not enough.
Maps, 4 maps for each matchmaking so 1vs1, 2vs2 and 4vs4. Not enough.
This get bored so fast.

I hope that good changes coming soon, this game is seriously a joke.

Hi Ubisoft,

you are justifying the postponed console release by wanting to ensure the best possible experience for players.

My questions:

You should also provide some information to your guinea pigs (PC players):
What changes can be expected? Fundamental changes to the gameplay?

Or are you just not ready with the console versions and hide this behind the sentence "ensuring the best possible experience for players"?

We can set up a 1 v 1 game OK, but each time we start we get about 20 mins in and it crashes with a 'disconnected' error message. Has anyone got a fix?

Given how buggy (sound keeps not working) and limited the base game is (short production lines, limited gameplay strategies, etc.) we need multi-player to work, to justify the cost (I pre-paid. so am also not impressed that it is already on sale...)

Bought the game. The description indicates support for the Russian language, but the menu only has English and Chinese. how to install russian language?

Game does not count the settlers (always shows 0/200 in the challenge) when I chose Maru as faction (which is the same faction as the enemy). Also, AI isn't doing anything. Don't know whether this is by design or a bug. I think it is the latter as the mission description says they start with more resources. Not really important if they don't do anything.

Another strange thing: When I destroyed the enemy base, I lost the game. So there seems to be something wrong with the mission.

In the moment of writing this post I'm testing the mission as Elari. I now start with 67/200. So it seems to work with other factions even though I didn't try Jorn yet. So picking the same faction as my enemy seems to be the problem.

Edit: In the meantime I was able to finish the mission playing as Elari. But before I could do that, another bug occured. At some point in the mission (when you build a certain amount of houses) houses become locked and you have to kill the bandits on the map to unlock them again. But when you kill the bandits BEFORE you reach the point of locked houses, you have a problem. Because when you reach the mentioned amount of houses that triggers the locking, the houses still get locked. But you are not able to unlock the houses anymore, because the bandits are already dead. The game doesn't recognize that you've already killed them.

So the only way to finish the mission right now is the following:

Hardcore: The Depths when auto-saving/saving with the saving animation on screen, this error appears after a while.
And you can't close the Fatal Error Pop-up. (Save Error to Cloud 👁 )
In the beginning there where no saving problems ! It started after view hours playing this skirmish.

I just finished the extreme match for 2 players just by myself. Unfortunately, I did not get any rewards.

This bug is reproducable. I restarted the game and reloaded a savegame before the finish of 10.000 gold coins. And again, there are no rewards gained in the win screen.

In the menu of the extreme matches the 2vs2 extreme match is also still marked not fulfilled.

Apparently once all my engineers has been killed all the building options becomes dark gray and there is no way to create any new building like Guilde Office to recruit new engineers !!!

Is it done on purpose or is it a huge bug ??? To conclude mission 3 you need to send an engineer to the top of the map but you can't recruit any new one !!!

So what do you think ? You apologise or you don't want to lose face ?
