I’m writing this because I’m tired of seeing a legendary brand like CATAN handled in such an amateurish way.
Besides the statistically absurd dice rolls, the 'Rejoin Loop' (or Desync Loop) has reached an unacceptable level. Here is what happens regularly:
-The app claims I’m offline (even though my connection iz perfectly stable).
-It kicks me out of a match I’ve spent 30+ minutes on.
- Upon reconnecting, I’m stuck in a 'Time Travel' loop: the game rolls back 2-3 turns, forces me to replay moves, and then crashes again in an infinite cycle.
This is a critical failure of server synchronization. As a user who has paid for this game, I find this lack of stability an insult to the players' time. We are not just talking about minor bugs; we are talking about a broken infrastructure that fails to save basic game states.
It’s frankly embarrassing that a multi-million dollar franchise can't manage a stable database for a turn-based board game. If you can't guarantee that a match will actually reach its conclusion without 'teleporting' players into the past, you are failing your paying customers.
When will we see a fix for these server rollbacks? Respect our time and the money we spent on this app.
