 Not so long ago...

The search for new territory, took explorers and traders farther and farther inland as the New World revealed its vast riches. Our early explorers discovered bays, rivers, and lakes and some established settlements...
This was the start of Settler Island..

Today, we honor, celebrate and pay our respects to our elders, the original Settlers, for their courage, creativity and wisdom!
A small reward awaits you in-game!

Thank you all!

Dear Settlers!

We have received many of your reports regarding performance issues (e.g. delays in gameplay, lags ect...).
Thank you for your crucial feedback!
We are fully aware of the current issues and are currently performing an in-depth investigation.
Our team has already been working on a few solutions. Some optimizations have already been applied on our test system.

If you wish to help us, please visit www.tsotesting.com to increase the load. The more data and participants, the better.
Your participation will clearly help us with data analysis and will lead to better and faster solutions.
These software optimizations will improve the current “gametick” situation on our live game worlds.  We were already able to solve interactions between several delay issues.

Beyond the software upgrades, the hardware of all gameworlds will be upgraded as well.
The first software related step will be implemented with the next update on the 22nd of November.
The developer’s diary will also be updated next week.

Thank you
