Important request

Dear Asterix & Friends players,

we are aware of the problems some of you are having with the new Unity version.
We’re working on fixing issues that are preventing some players from getting into the game, especially on Facebook. Your help supports us to better investigate the causes.
Therefore, please send us the exact description of the issue and your village names or IDs to support@asterix-friends.com with the subject “Important request”. You can also send us an email if you’ve already contacted the support team and refer to your tickets. You can find the ID of a village in the bottom right corner of the A&F loading screen.
In addition to these issues, the integration of Centurio Punch and Race through Italy is our top priority. We are also doing our best so that you will be able to start the game again in the Gameroom as soon as possible.

New version of the web launcher available!

Dear Gauls,
a new version of the Asterix&Friends Xsolla launcher is available! If you already installed the launcher, you just need to restart it – the launcher will update itself. It is still possible to play the Flash version of Asterix&Friends via the launcher.
The new download link is: https://installer.launcher.xsolla.com/xlauncher-builds/launcher_builds/7183/3262/prod/web_installer.exe
Unfortunately, the web launcher doesn’t support 32-bit Windows systems.
We advise players, in particular those who receive an error message when loading the game and therefore cannot play Asterix&Friends, to use the launcher until we’ve found a solution.
Important: Facebook players need to have their usual Facebook village swapped with a village that has been registered in the launcher or on the asterix-friends.com website by our support team. The ” Facebook Login ” button in the launcher creates a village of the web version with Facebook login credentials instead of allowing you to log in with a village of the Facebook version!
For the swap, Facebook players need to contact the support team with the names or IDs of their Facebook village and the website village, either via mail to support@asterix-friends.com or via the ticket form: https://sproing-support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us (click on “Submit a request” in the top right corner).
