Care package

Dear Gauls,

We are glad that we were able to help many players of the Unity version with the last updates, which we also owe to player’s bug reports!
However, our work is not done – the upcoming updates should also fix the remaining (loading) problems so that all old features, but also new features and improvements, can be implemented for all platforms as soon as possible.
In order to make the resistance against the Romans easier for everyone in this difficult time, we provided all players with helpful equipment and food via an in-game message.
We thank you for your loyalty and hope to be able to excite you in the near future with a version of Asterix and Friends, which we can proudly call a “remaster”! Stay tuned!

Your Asterix & Friends team

Important for Facebook & Website players:
> Clearing the browser’s cache and refreshing the game can help to fix loading problems or issues while playing.
Players who have sent us a message under the subject “Important Request” should inform our support team if the update has resolved loading problems.
Rest assured that we will continue to work hard to fix any loading issues as soon as possible!
> The game doesn’t react when clicking on the “buy button”. Please click on the image of the package instead.

Important for Facebook players:
> With the new update, Facebook shouldn’t load the website instead of the game anymore, even if the recommended solution to set “#Same-site-by-default-cookies” to “disabled” was not used. However, if you have made this setting, you can now set it back to “default”.
If Facebook now loads the wrong village, write the support team a message with the subject “Wrong village” with the name or IDs of your usual village and your new village: support@asterix-friends.com



The servers are back!

The game wasn’t available on all platforms due to problems in the data center.
As a result, players were prevented from accessing the game for 6 hours.
We apologize for this and we hope this stop has not caused any significant inconvenience.
We will send all affected players compensation for the lost time via an in-game message.
As a further part of the compensation, in addition to the start of the weekend of legions on January 29th, 2021 at 3 p.m. CET, a village brawl weekend will start.
