Yes, all us Linux and Mac users (and a lot of Windows users too) got the middle finger, just before this years biggest and best event.
Wine doesnt work with this exe file, and VM / Windows bloat / spyware 10 not getting installed here.

Happy Holidays! year right

Check notifications ava, sent you my rl contact details so can try to get you back into the game

Cannot get it to work, I get an error message saying "Your client couldn't be updated". Very frustrating

I got in. All is fine. I'm on Windows 10 and Chrome, had the "Could not update client" message and used fixes in post number 112, 120 (and 128 helped)

I'm in global chat right now, and there are MAC players in. There's fixes for LINUX too. STEAM should have a fix soon. Don't give up.

Steam wont be fixed and the game will be removed from there.

"The Steam version will shut down on the 31.12.2020. However, we are able to offer you an TSO account de-partnering from Steam. This will allow you to access your home island with all it's progress via our website. Please get in contact with our support team as soon as possible, if you want to make use of it."

(edited) i mean, it's not like they didn't have enough time, flash has been dead for a couple of years now, and they still haven't got this right?
RIP settlers online…

The Client folder never appeared for me so I created it manually and copied just the client.swf file from Hades into it. Took a couple of attempts to launch the client, but I could see the it was copying other files into the Client folder, so the update was working now. Eventually got into the game.

As mentioned elsewhere, the first launch takes a while and the client shows "Not responding" several times. Just left it and it completed.

Thanks to everyone for the crowd-sourced debugging. I swear BB do this deliberately. Release a broken client, disappear for the weekend, let the user-base fix it and roll in Monday with an update...

Easy enough to do and that would make for nice Christmas event for many who are now frustrated and unable to play. And I think it can still be done - it should not take much work - but TSO people would have to be at work to see what they have done and show some effort in fixing it.

Bleeeeeh .......... I know everybody want's their weekends off, but still ............... can't they show a bit more commitment at least at such difficult transition time?

This is exactly the problem here. Well said!

We kindly ask and recommend planning and taking time to install the Download Client. Of course, we will be here to help you with every step. We will do our best to enable you to continue playing with as few issues as possible and we will also try to get the Unity Version up and running as soon as possible.

We can only ask, what happened?
