before using guildmail you need to open main mailbox once

Anyone else got a problem with the event calendar not showing up on old client, but is there on unity?
I had that problem initially but downloading the latest version fixed it for me.
However I now have a different problem - the 'OLD CLIENT' line has disappeared from my homepage altogether. Anyone else got this?
EDIT: problem solved by a reboot.
if you tired to update swf by yourself use portable client [removed] :)
Already am :) loving it, thanks ;)
The old client is not shown calendar and the titanium mine tribute is not put on the island, clint doesn't work properly with the event. Also in merchant Valentines Event is not list all stuff

Re download the client from the Wiki page it solved the problem for me.
the client has a slight bug with the event window, on the 26th the unity client shows 700 gunpowder as a choice, but the old client shows this as 700 "gunpowder adventures" (has the cannon image for the adventure). Is this showing for others too?

Yes, there is a memory leak since last update, so it uses around 4 gigabytes of RAM in 30 mins. And expanding if you have enough memory in your computer.

Now imagine at any point sanctions prevent the single guy that does what BB said is impossible from uploading the file, and you're stuck with the 'solution' preventing some of you from playing the game completely, that shoud be done and working in 2019 and not 2023 (assuming they even get it into workable state until next year, which I doubt).

is it true @SirriS_RU that there will be no more clinet versions, coz bb blocked smth you need to prepare file?
i can't read actual source code since unity release.. coz don't know how to decompile wasm
many years past from my first day in tso (2012) and i've got some knowledge how this game works =)
i will continue modify the file while i can, or until unity become playable
Greatest news I've heard - your commitment has kept the community together - thank you very much!
Quicknote to BB: You should ask Sirris for an OFFICIAL client release and give hime some insights [and kudos and bucks] - you know, outsourcing a bit of your workloads! [I would not dare speak on behalf of Sirris_RU ofcourse. Just a thought.]

Weird suggestion. They have already said that client is not supported and they are fully committed to unity. Client and flash are history and while useful while unity implementation is struggling, it by no means is the future and most likely will keel over and die in a future OS upgrade edtc.
If you want to support sirrus- u could have bought hin coffee last month or maybe somewhere down the line
sirrus is not outsourced workload for BB, but it is a blessing for many a player who cant run unity smoothly enough yet
Unfortunately, client.swf is no longer (or at least for now) reachable.
When an update is needed (for the next event), you will have to play under Unity.
I think it's going to be a quiet event when that happens.
Hopefully we will be able to update the little file again, or at least find another way to get to it...
ru users can't pay for hetzner hosting anymore.. so we move our servers to another hosting
i hope we fix it totay
It's fixed, thanks Sirrus :)
Hopefully this madness ends soon ;)

Thank You for your continued effort to keep us playing.
Question for you, is there a way to trigger a refresh manually?
Co-ops no longer update for me for the other player's progress, so I'm having to back out and re-enter several times.
Luckily it's only for pathfinder or ghost ship quests that I need to run co-ops so it's a minor inconvenience
Hey SirriS, thank you for all your work again. Makes a massive difference and the only reason many of us haven't quit the game.

Only issue i have is that generals dont move and the look says correct attacks but when camps take too long time to complete then wrong general attack so going back to browser then it comes to addys.

Anyone experiencing issues with quests and collectibles with latest client?
I have noticed that fairy dust doesn't seem to work automatically. I have to visit another island and come back to see the collies in new positions. Otherwise they just don't appear.
Also having problems in advs. Gens change their places during the attack or it doesnt show if gen went out to attack or not. If i go back to my home island and revisit the adv again, everything is messed up. I have lost a lot of troops because of that.
Same problem in expeditions too.. I cleared two sectors and everything seemed ok, but after visiting home island and coming back to expedition, both boss camps were back up and gens were dead.
I have noticed that these anomalies occur if i have stayed logged in for a while. If i refresh the client every now and then, all seems to be working.. But i know that i can't send out many attack waves at once and leave them unattended :P
It all started after the last two maints..

Yeah...I've noticed frequent client reloading helps when it comes to fairy dust, but sometimes the quests are still messed up after reloading. Still better experience than browser so no problem :)

I find fairy dust a bit slow but otherwise OK. I am not having problems with adventures except that changing the troops doesn't always work until I've opened, e.g., a 2nd Vargus; then I can go back to the 1st & find the changes have applied.
But the 'feel' of the game is so much better than Unity. Thanks again. BB would probably have lost me & the small amounts I spend on gems without the work-around. I hope they realise that!

As soon as I opened, chat was not gone. Refreshed the client, and it showed
Added Annoholics quest, quest does not become active. Refreshed, it is back in star. Did this 2 times. On the second time, I moved to unity, and the collies had appeared as well.

[removed]first step to interact with working game client
but resize function broke =(
Looks good, I would be careful about changing too much though as it might increase the chance of Bluebyte actively banning the use of the client.
I need to re-instal completely but the 64 bit version is gone from wiki ?????????????? help
If you havent done it already, try first page of this thread

sup guys. i released new client version
main feature is mass specialists sender. you can choice task for every free specialist and click submit button =) easy
also you can save tasks as template file and use it in future. not need to choice task every time
also as you know i removed zone refresh event in february coz devs broke smth in checksum comparsion, so i added manual refresh button.. click it and client recieve fresh zone packet
also.. no more harman splash screen =))
feel free to open issue if you have problems or cool idea
enjoy ;)
A guildie told me to use the 32 bit download & it worked fine.
i tried to put it in place of the old client but that was a non starter, getting a pop up to log in again and then it goes nowhere alas - cool ideas though )

if I understood you correctly you replace client.exe from github to your existing client.exe in The Settlers Online folder? wrong..
client from github is standalone portable client.. just download and run
I need help I have downloaded the client I think I keep getting an error message saying
File loading failed Please check your network connection Clean your browser cache or try again later
What do I need to do Is it just the client I need to download or do I need to download the other 2 zip files
OK when I click no on the popup that appears it seems to be working
click no on the first pop up (collect thinghy)
Works perfectly. You can imagine what it means for us with 100+ explorers. Been waiting for something like this for years.
Good job!
