It's Still Broken

Hey Devs, thanks for the patch that we've been eagerly anticipating. The random generating maps do appear to be working properly, which is nice.

Last night I encountered bugs that are still game-breaking issues:
1) getting stuck in the same Public Lobby over and over with the same players no matter what I try, even clearing the cache and restarting the game still takes me back to the same lobby and the game just never launches. This is making it absolutely impossible to play a Public game.
2) still having issues where the game will prevent a user from building a settlement on a spot that they should clearly be able to

 

Intermittently, the default game board is still showing up (not selected for).

Also, this is a minor issue but still an issue nonetheless — players that get peeved that they aren’t winning (and apparently have all the time in the world) just choose to not accept or deny trades and take up the full 30 seconds for every trade. Can this be a minor update where it’s a separate 3 strikes and you’re out?

Very happy that the major patches were made btw. Thank you, Catan team.

Hi Guys,

now, since i was Playing with Friends (we all own the PS5-Version + Knights and Cities Addon, Season Pass, Super Deluxe Edition) nobody of us can play randomized Maps! We played for month and nobody of us can create/open a randomized map to play. So we play these few maps again and again...its so boring because its everytime the same and everytime everyone do the same tactics, choosing the same spots to place House/Cities...as we thought this will be fixed (of course) but nothing happend, i know find here in the Forum that this is a known issue for everyone. I dont want to go deep in it...

So i read everything of this issue here in the Forum, even that there should be a Patch which should have been resolved this Problem in April 2024, as a Programmer wrote down in this forum of the release of that Patch.
But we all bought the Game after that Date, so it should be fixed, right?! But it isnt!

So we are dammned to play the same maps again and again :-( Our games should be all up to date automaticly, right?!

So can someone explain me (realy step by step deep into the Detail) what we are doing wrong? How is it possible to play "Knights&Cities" (which is the only game-addon we play regulary) with randomized maps? There even is not a option to set a randomized map. Only the few extra-maps and the standart-map, which is everytime exactly the same, no matter who is open the lobby. Also if just one is playing against the CPU, or 2 Player with CPU, or 3 Player with CPU. (And i dont get how its possible with 5 or 6 players but that isnt that important, its mostly important not to play everytime the same map!) I even checked to update tha game manualy but didnt find anything to it, should be automaticly right, or even we bought the game in 2025 far after the Patch-Update has been created in April 2024.

So what to do? I even wonder that nobody is writing to that issue, as we 3 Player have all the same issue with PS5.

Also, where is this Roadmap Addon for PS5? It should have been released in 2023 right? But there isnt any...i bought everything...Super Delux Edition, Helpers, Knights&Cities, Season Pass...there is nothing that i can buy anymore in the Shop, just the 3D-Version with Googles (but i dont need that).

I played, maybe 10 Years ago the PC-Version of Catan. There was everything in it. A lot of Maps of all kinds of game modes, Roadmap, The "See"-Addon (doensnt know exact name of that game mode), randomized maps (of course) and a lot more...we are waiting and waiting and question why isnt all that in the Console-Edition?????

Well that would be awesome, no question! We wait for it...but as i was reading here...my hope isnt great that there is any activity in programming and creating anymore to that game :-( (hope im not right in that!)

BUT

We would be happe, if we just could play randomized maps...otherwise we do not know to play that game...its just...the same everytime :-(

Please let us know whats going on with that randomized maps?! How is that going to work?! Could you please get a autamtic update-patch to it, so everyone has that working?!

Also; In the PC-Version it was possible to create own Avatars (People) in showing the own createt game-avatar.
Would be great if you dig on the PC-Version from roundabout 10 Years ago. Well that PC-Version had bad issues in connection and game-abortion, but everything else there was working there.

Thanks for your time and reading. Hope to hear, and more; Hope to see any activites in creation more into that game, fixing patches is the most important!

Thank You!
