Patch 2.7.5: getting ready for the new season! Season Matchmaking: You'll now be matched reliably only with other season players, and every season match counts toward your Elo. Player Count & Maps: Numerous fixes for wrong player counts and incorrectly loaded maps in 3-4 and 5-6 player matches. Settings: The player count slider now reliably remembers your selection, and matchmaking is no longer blocked by missing board customisation choices.

Annoying bug

Love the game but there is one persistent bug that’s not been fixed. If you hit a trade too quickly it seems to freeze the whole game and you have to exit and abandon it.

PLAY COLONIST INSTEAD

Paid for the full game version and very disappointed. Game constantly crashes. Timer doesn’t apply to their own bots when someone quits the game or loses signal.

Crashes 1/3 games

Literally just bugs out and crashes 1/2 games out of 3

Ai

The ai for some reason acts in a way that it knows what numbers will be rolled for each turn and will also know what development cards are next. Very frustrating to play with ai players simply because it just feels stupidly rigged. Would recommend the ai be reviewed. I understand that the ai is simply choosing the most logical play but it seems as if the AI constantly targets me when getting robber or knight. Game is stupid with the ai.
