Dear Settlers,

Our data center wasn't available for about 30 minutes this morning. While the administrators restored general availability quickly, they need to work on the network to fix the root cause. 

• Date: August 8th 
• Start: Ongoing
• End: Probably around 14:00 CEST 
• What: Network / Game drops

We will continue to experience service drops of a few minutes where the website and game won't be available.

Dear Settlers,

The latest versions of Chrome and Edge allow Flash contents only to be started after explicitly allowed to. Our website cannot recognize this "Click to play" setting. It assumes you've got an old Flash version installed and asks to update it. 

If you click on the installation link, Chrome and Edge ask if the website shall be allowed to execute Flash. Confirm this and everything will work just fine.

We put together a FAQ that will guide you through the process in more detail.

We'd like to thank our forum community for providing valuable input to this topic! This helped us a lot putting some scenarios together.

Happy Settling!

Dear Settlers, 

The “Black Knights” mini event was supposed to be a fun event for all players. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Therefore we have decided to deactivate the event today (Monday) around 15.30 CEST. Make sure to finish “The Black Knights” adventure before 15.30 CEST to get the event bonus.

We will most certainly rework the mini event for a future use.

Dear Settlers,

Today the most wonderful, excellent and best event of all times started.

It is so great that it was implemented without a maintenance!

We are very excited and looking forward to your feedback about the best and most colourful "The Settlers Online" event ever created.

"The Black Knights" Event - July 24th - 26th, 10:00 CEST (48 hours) July 24th, 15:30 CEST

Experience the game with a novel theme, inspired by "The Black Knights". Given its unquestionable popularity which has deemed "The Black Knights" the most played adventure of all times, we've decided to dedicate a special 2-day Event in its honour.

Have a look at the event description in our > forums < to learn more about all the superb event features.

Happy Settling!
