Catan FAQ:

Download problems on Samsung devices?

Most download problems are likely related to the device's download cache being restricted – in case of the Galaxy S to only 30MB. The latest android version (2.3.3) removes this arbitrary limitation. Please update your device or contact our support for a refund. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Question: I bought the seafarers expansion but after an update or reinstallation of Catan or after restoring my phone the expansion seems gone?

Answer: Don’t worry; your initial purchase is already saved in your Market account. However for technical reasons you have to select “Buy” again. Confirm and a message will tell you that you’ve already purchased it. You will NOT be billed twice!

Question: I lost my campaign progress after reinstalling, updating from an old version or when restoring my phone. Is there any way to restore it?

Answer: Savegames from old versions can usually be restored automatically. For all other cases we’ve integrated a cheat code: Enter campaign mode and go to select player. Enter „CatanWarp*“ (* = 1–15, e.g "CatanWarp5") as your player name and confirm. Exit the game via the home button. Enter your phone’s settings menu. Select applications/manage applications/Catan/ and then “Force Stop”. Restart Catan. The campaign can now be continued from the specified level number by selecting “New scenario *”.

We are already working on a tablet version.
