21.07.2021Unity Version Issues
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.
