Dear Settlers,

With only a few weeks left of Summer, the time has come to finally start testing the upcoming Halloween event! Two brand new items will be introduced which you will want to look at very thoroughly ;).

Of course, there are many other new things to be discovered!
Find out more details about this event in the Sneak Peek and test it on tsotesting.com!

Dear players,

Everyone loves a good book, and our settlers know the true value of a good read! Check your in-game messages for a little surprise for Book Lovers Day!

Celebrate this special day with us in the bibliophiles' > corner < and tell us what your settlers are reading in their spare time!

Happy reading!

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!
