I have encountered this problem too many times. I was just in a cities and knights game where as soon as it was my turn I was going to win, but Catan said I was offline and I see the kick timer for my name. I attempt to refresh and rejoin the game (well under the two minute timer) and it tells me I was kicked. Instead of winning, I get last. This game is too unstable to play.
Thanks for the details. I'm having to do this every time I spam the stats button as a game ends. Somehow one of these files must be left in an inconsistent state, and I'm doomed to get "Cannot Connect To Server" whenever I search with Automatch until I follow those instructions above. This will be the fifth time that I had to reinstall this weekend.
And just in case the forum admin is ready to pass this issue onto the technical people, yes, I logged out and back in AND I restarted my PC.
@siriux_to If someone slows down the game to retaliate, and even confesses in the chat about his, you simply have to hover over his avartar and do a right mouseclick to file a report.
@administrators the AI doesn't mimic the human behaviour at all. Most of its trade offers are insane (offering 3 stones for 1 wood. Really????) and the decision about who to trade with and who to steal from are also very questionable.
@Rumpelstilzchen It´s totally up to you if you want to use it or not. We can´t help you with that decision. You won´t miss out on any vital information if you don´t want to use it.
At the moment we do not plan to implement an "offline" multiplayer or implement an asyncron
This is a pity. It’s a significant use case. How do I play with friends when we are travelling on a long plane journey or in a location where there is no internet.
It’s during these kind of times that I want to play Catan (often with a single device).
@Ech0e5 I don´t play single player, but when the AI comes in as a substitute for a player who as been kicked, it always unbalances the game. It targets the weakest players instead of the leading ones and shows no reasonable strategy. Especially in trade, it acts really stupid, and without forsight.
I completely agree! For such an amazing game that they created , it’s extremely flawed! One of the worst barely functioning games I’ve ever seen! It’s astounding. I haven’t been able to play for a month. They are going to loose a lot of fans if they keep this up.
If you buy the game, you have the opportunity to play different boards, Different Szenarios with 3 or 4 Player.
For the complete board game you need the base game + seafarer + c&k expansions

Keep making those unorthodox gaming gains!
