Catan Universe News

Hi Catanians,
We understand you may be disappointed with us postponing the release of version 2.3.5.
Unfortunately, the changes we made overnight didn't produce the desired results. We are experiencing issues with the STEAM client becoming unresponsive to inputs when deploying it to our production environment. The production enviroment are the servers you are playing on.
When we test the same STEAM client on our test servers we cannot reproduce this behavior. This is why we needed the short downtime today to test our latest changes where we can actually see the issue.
We want to assure you that we are working hard to investigate and resolve these issues.
However, we cannot release version 2.3.5 in its current state today. We will keep you informed once we have more information.
We understand your frustration since we share them with you but we are fully committed to make this right.

- Customatch lobby's reliability has been improved

- Elo display at the end of Automatches has been enhanced

- A crash issue affecting the STEAM version of the game has been resolved

- AI's behavior in singleplayer matches has been changed to wait for your response to trade offers before proceeding, making the game feel more natural and allowing for a smoother gameplay experience

Dear Catanains,🏝️

We are delighted to share with you that Version 2.3.5 of our game is coming on Monday August 14th. 📅 We understand how important our game is to you and we appreciate your patience and support.🙇 We will keep you informed of exact release time and other relevant details. 📣

Your feedback is essential to us, and we are pleased to inform you that we have addressed some of the concerns you raised after the last update.

🛠️Our team has worked hard to enhance the Customatch lobby's reliability and the Elo display at the end of Automatches. These improvements will enhance your gaming experience and overall game performance. Additionally, we have resolved a crash issue that was affecting the STEAM version of the game.🛠️

📈We also want to let you know that we have made some changes to the AI's behavior in singleplayer matches. From now on, the AI will wait now everytime for your response to trade offers before proceeding.📈

📣Please be aware that to enjoy these changes, you must update your client to the latest version (2.3.5). Once the new version is released, older clients will no longer have access to the servers. 📣

We will keep you posted on the release of Version 2.3.5, so stay tuned for updates!

We value your feedback and are committed to improving your gaming experience. Thank you for your continued support.

Hi Catanians,🏝️

In light of the feedback we received since the release of 2.3.4, we wanted to provide you with an update from our side. Our team is hard at work on version 2.3.5, which will address some of the issues that have been brought to our attention.🙏

✅We would like to take a moment to thank those members of our community who helped us find a workaround for the occasional display issue in the custom-match lobby. If you've noticed that your friends appear as busy on your list, despite not being in a game, please have them start a single-player match and quit right away. This should resolve the display issue. ✅

🏗️Version 2.3.5 will introduce a lot of technical changes to Custommatch lobbies, making them use fewer resources. We are therefore positive that this issue will be gone in the near future. 🏗️

🏗️We understand that the Elo display at the end of the game isn't always working properly. Our developers as well as the server and backend provider have all taken another look at the issue, and we are working to change the way your Elo gets compared to the leaderboards (on the technical side). This should help decrease the time until your client receives a response from the servers. Currently, it can take too long, and you might not see the correct values displayed. 🏗️

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

💡We are aware that some users have experienced crashes with version 2.3.4 on STEAM. We are actively investigating what might be causing these crashes. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to reproduce them on any of our test PCs and Macs. We would greatly appreciate any further feedback you can provide us, particularly when the crash occurs and what hardware and software your device is using. A thread for that will be set up on our Discord server in the Feedback channel: https://discord.gg/catanuniverse

✅In addition to what we have seen with version 2.3.4, we have noticed for a while that sometimes the A.I. doesn't wait for the user's response to trade requests in Singleplayer games. We are happy to let you know that this will be addressed in the upcoming 2.3.5 update.✅

Once version 2.3.5 is ready for release, we will let you know


Thank you for your patience and support. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to continuing to improve your experience with our game.

Hello Catanians!

Update 2.3.4 includes a huge number of technical improvements and optimizations that will lead to a much more efficient communication between the game clients (your apps) and the CU servers. As a result, login, profile, shop etc. will all be faster, contributing to an overall smoother gameplay experience.

Have fun playing Catan!
