I have often gotten the same issue the past couple weeks. Tonight I tried to play with my friend and we could do initial set up but it always freezes when we got to the second round of game play. My friend and I compared screens and it was really strange, their board had different tiles and numbers! No wonder it couldn't get us past that point.

They said on the Discord server that they will be releasing an update in October that is supposed to fix many of the issues. We will have to wait and see.

If you can determine who is stuck they can also try typing "/reload" into the chat window. This works well in the Steam app, but is less successful in the browser and Android app.

My wife uses the browser on a Linux pc and she gets stuck frequently, but nothing seems to work there. Closing and trying to restart just replaces her with a bot.

I have gotten stuck on the Steam several times, but the "/reload" command usually works for me. And I have also used the force close and restart successfully.

@tingletangle Are you trying to play a Seafarers version of C&K by any chance? If you have the base game and C&K you should be able to play all the base scenarios and the regular C&K unlimited in both multiplayer and single player.

The Seafarer versions of C&K require the Seafarers expansion or a sun to play single player mode. Any versions of C&K that are greyed out in multiplayer would need a sun to activate single player.

@XXXTotmacherXXX
Ein jahrealtes Problem.

@LemuelB2 I can confirm that all players need to own the expansion.
And 4 is the max number of players on Catan Universe so far.
If you want to play with more players, you can buy the board game (analog, I mean).

@Pannemaniac @Developers
I can assure you:
We, the frequent players, have been complaining about the faulty kicktimer ever since it was introduced, and that was several years ago.
So it must be veeeery difficult to fix this.
Our demand to let players re-enter with the consent of the other players has not been fullfilled either. So it must be impossibel.
On PlayCatan we already had this option, but Catan Universe has not been able to produce this important feature.

The night i posted this, i tried to play 2 more games and both of them were interrupted by a freeze.

Yesterday I tried to play a game, took a decisive lead in the midgame, and then had the game freeze as i was closing in on a win.

Today (just now) i tried to play one more game and it froze before the second wave of Barbarians.

@Administrator @administrators @Developers @Moderators

Can you please either
A ) invest the same amount of time you spent in upgrading the game into simply making it crash and freeze less or
B ) actually explain what the problem is instead of just promising to "look into it" like you did 3 years ago?

It feels like you don't care at all about user experience when you produce a game with such a glaring flaw and respond dismissively (or don't respond) when your consumers bring up their issues. I don't understand how you expect to attract and keep players around long enough to buy new content if your game isn't playable, and i don't know how you expect to make money from this product if people aren't buying the content.

@administrators It's been several months now. What's the ETA on this fix?

Bei mir sieht das gennauso aus und die guten Rangplätze die man sich auf lange Zeit erspielt hat verliert man wenn man das Spiel dann langer Wartezeit beendet.Das macht echt sauer

@Administrator Every time I try /reload I am not let back into the game when it reloads. I've even tried this in games that weren't freezing and same thing. When the game reloads I'm simply at the home screen with an error message saying I was kicked from the last game

That has been an issue on every platform since 2.0

If you buy an expansion you can play unlimited multiplayer and single player games. Might have the same issue with hanging, but you won't lose any suns.

Maybe u got banned.

UPDATE : Were a few months further now and nothing has changed yet, i still get the wrong map about 25% of the time. I get this might not be the highest priority, but is there any news? Any chance someone is gonna look at the issue?

Wenn Ihr befreundet seit (Freundschaftsanfrage stellen und bestätigen), könnt Ihr Custom-Games erstellen. Da kannst Du dann Freunde einladen wenn sie online sind.

Viel Spaß!
