Dear Settlers,

The developers are working on fixes for the locked zone issue that were reported by you.

A new version creation is in progress. The test server will remain open, but be aware that you might have a locked zone as well.

We will keep you posted about the new version.

Dear Settlers,

based on your feedback in the forum, the developer team is having a closer look to locked zone issues of the current test version.

A new version is in preparation. It will include some fixes, but there is not precise ETA so far.

Meanwhile the test environment remains open.
We keep you posted.

Best,

Some configuration changes are taking place on the test environment right now, hence some difficulties may occur (e.g. getting kicked out of the game more often than usually). We will keep you updated.

Update:
All tasks are done, hence difficulties should not occur anymore.
