New Players Stuck at Level 7

Over the last 2 days there have been dozens of players stuck at level 7 due to a quest that won't clear.
This is something that need to be fixed ASAP even if it means an unscheduled maint.

It seems the issue is that they are doing things the game is not asking them to do yet, but building a provision house too early shouldn't prevent you from progressing.

Actually it's a known issue affecting many players using steam.
It involves a quest that won't clear.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your reports. We have notified our developers and they will look into it.
Some players also reported that the quest would eventually unlock itself.

If you are experiencing this issue, please submit a ticket.

There are some potential work-arounds that have been reported for the people stuck at level 7. These are:
1) Try to send an explorer to find a new sector.
2) Click on the greyed-out storehouse icon on the build menu.
3) Log out of the game for 15 minutes.
4) Destroy and rebuild the provision house (please remember resources will be needed to rebuild)

ANy luck?

Seems to be more of a capped population. Gifted a noble to someone in guild with it and all went well.

im also stuck
lvl 7 not getting the quests ...

Hello everyone,

The developers are working on a solution. It will most likely be implemented next week and improve the tutorial situation, among others the soft lock at level 7.

this is how mine worked.

1) Try to send an explorer to find a new sector.
2) Click on the greyed-out storehouse icon on the build menu.
3) Log out of the game for 15 minutes.
4) Destroy and rebuild the provision house (please remember resources will be needed to rebuild)
5) Banged on desk
6) Log out of the game for 15 minutes. *again*
7) Try to send an explorer to find a new sector. *again*
8) cried and 3 seconds later the next quest popped up..lol

:-)

Fixed

Thanks for sharing!

Hello,

We will update the game tomorrow and deploy a solution to this issue.
You can find more info in tomorrow's changelog.

Apparently your fix did not work. Ran into someone tonight stuck again. None of the random stuff mentioned here worked for them. They were level 9 though with the quests locked... "System Functions - Further Help, Claim new lands - Death to the leaders, Tool production - Coal"

Thank you for letting me know!

Try clicking the Geo in the star, just poke at him a few times like with the Explorer in the last bug-set. This seems to have worked once, let's see if it does again.

Some else suggested sending out the geologist to find a copper mine. That did not seem to fix it, but I do not know how many times they did that.

This was just clicking him a few times. Curious if it was sheer dumb luck with timing or something or if it "worked" since the bug has been reported in at least three fora/ums.

Either way, the EU player is unstuck and it'd be useful to know if it's a repeatable fix workaround: forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/31477-stuck-at-level-9

So something to try if the need remains or returns.
