New update available for Open Beta

Dear Gauls!
 
A new update for the Android version is available via the open beta.
This update is supposed to help any player who couldn’t play the game after they updated the Asterix & Friends Android app (e.g. loading stuck, crashes, the game doesn’t open) and may also affect performance issues (lag) positively.
 
How to join the beta program:
1. Open “A&F” in the Google Play store.
2. Scroll down and find “Register for the beta program”.
3. After clicking “Participate”, wait ca. 15 minutes. Then the title on the A&F store page will change to “Asterix & Friends (Beta)” and the game can be updated.
You can leave the beta program on the A&F store page in the Google Play Store.
 
Additional info:
Our latest changes made to the game login were successful and prevented new login issues (“504 gateway timeout”, “refresh” in the loading screen) so far. The promised compensation for the login issues will be sent to every player next week.

End of downtime + information on the current situation

Dear Gauls!

Our servers are back online, but the login issues still persist, since we were only able to execute one part of the solution today, which is the reason why the maintenance was over quick.
We are currently preparing the rest of the solution, so at least one another maintenance will be needed. The next maintenance won’t be carried out today, but as fast as possible.
This also means that players will still find it difficult or not possible to log in to the game due to the “504 gateway timeout “or a “refresh” in the loading screen.
We apologize that we couldn’t find a faster solution & thank you for all your patience and support in this difficult situation. The compensation will be sent to everyone when the login issues are permanently resolved.

Update: End of maintenance

Our servers are back online!
Deleting the cache and cookies isn’t needed, but please be patient at the first start.
First, the bug has been fixed, through which guild members displayed on the friends map were only displayed after 10 minutes. Furthermore, there should no longer be an automatic logout after playing for an hour.
The update also contains bug fixes and improvements for Centurion Punch and additional fixes and small adjustments.

Login issues & compensation

Dear Gauls!

The game has been experiencing cross-platform login issues for a few weeks now.
They make it suddenly very difficult or even impossible to get into the game. Web and FB players know the problem as “504 gateway timeout “, mobile players as “refresh” in the loading screen.
Yesterday it took a particularly long time until a problem-free login was possible. We would like to apologize for this incident and for the past periods. We’ve sent compensation for the inconvenience attached in an in-game message.
Our team is working with the highest priority on measures to prevent such failures in the future and to enable (uninterrupted) playing for everyone as quickly as possible.

New Android update available!

Dear Gauls!

Both yesterday and today we released new versions for Android players that were already able to update to the Unity version.
The updates contain the first improvements of the user interface, in particular regarding windows sizes.
In addition, the bug that caused the game to be in English for some FB Connect users after the update has been fixed. The language correction is set after updating the game on the mobile device and then starting the game. As a result, the language is corrected accordingly on Facebook too.
We are still working intensively to resolve the remaining problems. If you are affected by crashes while starting/playing the game or can’t play the game at all, please contact our support team: support@asterix-friends.com
