Dear Settlers,

Classifying various adventures in The Settlers Online can become a difficult task. Our developers have thoroughly redesigned this feature for a better understanding, as a new UI has been implemented to match the new difficulty levels. 

Find out all the ins and outs about the adventure classification in our latest Dev Diary and read more about the new game version in our change log!

Happy settling!

Dear Settlers,

With only a few weeks left of Summer, the time has come to finally start testing the upcoming Halloween event! Two brand new items will be introduced which you will want to look at very thoroughly ;).

Of course, there are many other new things to be discovered!
Find out more details about this event in the Sneak Peek and test it on tsotesting.com!

Dear Settlers,

The latest versions of Chrome and Edge allow Flash contents only to be started after explicitly allowed to. Our website cannot recognize this "Click to play" setting. It assumes you've got an old Flash version installed and asks to update it. 

If you click on the installation link, Edge and Chrome ask if the website shall be allowed to execute Flash. Confirm this and everything will work just fine.

We put together a FAQ that will guide you through the process in more detail.

We'd like to thank our forum community for providing valuable input to this topic! This helped us a lot putting some scenarios together.

Happy Settling!
