What's New in Catan Universe

2.7.5

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.

Crashes/Losing Turn

Multiple times my screen has fallen asleep while waiting for others to take their turn, then when I turn it back on it looks like another player hasn’t gone and is running their timer. When the timer runs out the game freezes. I get out of the app and back in only to be told I missed too many turns and got kicked out. This needs to get fixed.

Don’t waste your $$$

Freezes EVERY GAME. You must end game and start over only to freeze again. FRUSTRATING! And not worth it!

Games always crash

I love Catan but this app is ridiculous. Any time you start moving up on the leaderboard suddenly your numbers stop rolling and the bots will steal only from you; even if you’re in last place and way behind everyone else. I paid extra to play a season, and had multiple games crash so I couldn’t get ahead and then suddenly the season ended before it was supposed to. I don’t expect to win every game, but I expect it to be fair.

hateful

it is absolutely horrible and disgusting what these people have made

Glitchy

I opened the app, even signed up for an account, but when I went to play a game, something glitched and it wouldn’t start the game, I tried backing out and going back in, but no luck, so I had to close the app and re-launch it. When I did that, my sun token was gone, so it’s telling me I need to wait 12 hours… one heck of a game… quite the hook…I’m really sold… even setting up m6 character, the game just feels cheap and glitchy, it’s unfortunate because it looks cool, but it just feels like they hired too many designers and not enough programmers…
