Hello fellow Catanians, This is a quick update on the issue regarding the maps not randomizing as intended. We do not have a release date for the patch yet, but the good news is that we believe we’ve found a solution, and it’s currently being submitted to the platforms for review. Our aim is to release this patch alongside the much-anticipated 5-6 player expansion update. As soon as we have more news, we will share it with you. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Best regards, Jan
To our dedicated CATAN players. We understand that many players have been eagerly awaiting the release of the next game update. This is especially true since it is expected to address the lack of board randomisation in online games, which has been impacting your experience. Unfortunately, we have encountered unexpected delays in the development process, which means we are unable to provide an estimated release date at this time. Working on an update is an intricate and time-consuming task, filled with many challenges that must be overcome before it can be delivered to our players. In an effort to maximise the impact of our next update, we are consolidating a plethora of fixes, improvements and the eagerly awaited 5-6 player mode into one comprehensive update. The changes we've outlined all go into one test build, which then undergoes rigorous testing by our QA team. If any issues persist or new ones arise, then the build will be regressed, and it will go back to the development team repeatedly until these issues are resolved. The build is then submitted to the platforms for certification, which may pass or fail due to certain criteria, which differ from platform to platform. We understand how frustrating these delays have been, considering that many go online to connect with their friends and family. Please be assured that resolving these issues are still our top priority, and our small but diligent team are working tirelessly to ensure that the next update delivers the experience we want for our players. Therefore, we would like to express our sincere apologies for any inconvenience these delays may cause you. Your ongoing patience and understanding mean the world to us, and we are committed to delivering an update which meets your expectations. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to CATAN: Console Edition. We promise to update you on our progress as soon as we have more information to discuss. Full release notes for the update will be provided when the update is available. Yours Sincerely, Dovetail Games & Nomad Games
