01.10.2026Notice Regarding Bug Abuse

Dear Settlers,

The release of Comfort Update #1 led to the unexpected appearance of a few bugs, some of which affected the Guild Market. For a short time, one of these bugs could be exploited to gain an unfair in-game advantage.

We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that we not only consider abusing bugs in this manner a violation of the rules, but also neglecting to inform the developers about discovered bugs immediately.

In this case, we have negated any advantages gained by the exploit of bugs during the second downtime on September 30 in addition to quickly solving the issue itself. We reserve the right to punish any players, who intentionally exploit bugs and do so on a large scale, in order to guarantee fairness for all players.

We are currently working on a package of fixes for other issues that made their way into the game during the recent update. We would like to thank all players, who are contributing to our efforts to improve The Settlers Online for the entire community.

If you are interested, you can find more information on our bug fixing process on the forum.
