Dear Settlers,

A game update will be conducted soon.

• Fix: Buffs won't be removed when finishing or cancelling a football adventure such as “Practice Match”
• Removed buffs will be restored in 1-2 weeks
• Removed Recipes will be restored (the amount is always "1")
• Football Event buffs were not removed at all

It will probably take one or two weeks to do so as we won’t roll back the whole backup. Extracting the information from the complete backup is very time consuming. First, we want you to receive a working football event version without any further losses. All game worlds will be shut down asap:

• Day: Tuesday, June 14th
• Worlds: All closed
• Start: Approx. 11:00 BST (12 CEST)
• End: Approx. 13:00 BST (14 CEST)
• Adventures & Premium: Times will be extended

Dear Settlers,

when finishing a football adventure, the according event buffs are supposed to vanish, similar to a Scenario.

Update 11:15 (CEST): No buff was supposed to be removed when a football adventure has been finished.

By mistake, event buffs, attack buffs (i.e Assassins) and some regular buffs have disappeared.

Please don't be afraid - all buffs will be restored!

We are working on a fix and and aim for a deployment around noon (12:00 CEST). Please keep an eye on this news.

Update: A fix was deployed and the buffs won't vanish anymore. Reimbursement willbe done during the next 1-2 weeks as it takes some time to get the information out of a complete version / database backup for all players.
