Our first Event mechanic prototype is ready for testing! Today all players received access to the exclusive world "Prototype Test" where the test will take place. Simply switch worlds and test away!

What you need to know:
- The test will run from April 14 to April 21 (this date may change depending on the results)
- For instructions on how to change worlds, please check this KB article
- Please report issues and feedback either in the forums or on our Discord server!
- At the end of the test, please fill in the survey we will send you on Public Beta (zz1)

Important! If you did not get access to the test world today, it means you were not registered for the test. Unfortunately, at this point it is no longer possible to join. If in the future we run another registration campaign, we will inform you beforehand.

Happy testing and thank you for helping us shape the future of the game!

Our development team has created a series of Event mechanic prototypes that need testing, and there's no one better to ask than you, our players.

So, we're kicking off our first-ever prototype testing, and it's easy to participate!

On April 4, all players on Beta will receive an invite in the Message Center (Official tab). Click "Accept Invitation" to register for the test, and that's it! The registration will be open until the test starts on April 14.

On April 14, all players who have accepted the invitation will gain access to the exclusive Prototype Test world where the new mechanic will be available for testing—but no other features.

Please note that by clicking "Accept Invitation" you register your consent to participate in the test and have your City layout copied to the test world. No other information other than your player ID is used in the process.

More detailed instructions on how to participate and give feedback will follow when the testing starts.

For all players using Android devices to play via our Android app, please be informed that from 28th May 2025 on, it will be required to use a device with Android version 7.1.1 or higher to continue playing Forge of Empires.
This measure is necessary for retaining the game quality and ensuring a smooth experience for all players. This change means that from 28th May 2025 on, we will no longer offer updates to our game app for Android versions lower than 7.1.1, and it will not be possible to continue playing.
To ensure that you do not run into any issues, please ensure that the Android version on your device is at least 7.1.1 before the end of May.
Newer Android versions are unaffected by this change, as are our iOS and Browser versions.

The current Quantum Incursions Championship no.3 will run for 5 Seasons instead of 6 in preparation for future adjustments to Quantum Incursions. In addition, the Championship 4 will also be shortened to 5 Seasons.

We are adjusting the balancing of the Quantum Pass according to the new duration by lowering the number of required progress points per milestone from 100 to 60. This change comes into effect on Wednesday, 04 Sep 2024

As the future Quantum Incursions update is still being worked on and much can change, we cannot share the details just yet. Please stay tuned for the dedicated announcement that we plan to post before the Championship no.4 starts.

A small potion of our BETA testers currently have an active Quantum Pass for this Championship. To account for the balancing adjustment happening while the Pass is already running, you will receive four QI Summer 2024 Epic Selection Kits directly in your Inventory on 04 Sep 2024

To find out more details about the decision to adjust the Championship runtime and the corresponding changes, please click here.

On Wednesday, the 28th of August, around 10:30 CEST, BETA will be undergoing a technical maintenance. We expect a downtime of around 60 minutes. Although we aim to minimize the downtime, it is paramount that the maintenance is fully completed, so it might take longer than expected.

Guild Perks is a completely new feature, which during a three-week cycle, allows you to unlock effects which can be used to help you in your campaigns. Where the strategy comes in, is that only a limited amount of Perks can be activated per cycle (typically a three-week period), and to do so, your Guild must donate a fair amount of resources to unlock and activate them! Additionally, each Perk has elements of a tradeoff, with both positive and negative effects. Which Perk will you decide on, and how will you strategize to maximize your chosen Perk's effects? We cannot wait for you to both jump in and try, as well as provide your feedback about how we can best improve the feature moving forward!

Guild Perks will go live on Beta on the 17th of November 2021!

We have found that players updating their Google Chrome browser to version 86 could encounter trouble playing our game, showing itself in being unable to load the game client, or in a slow gaming experience if it is possible to load the game. This, in most cases, is caused by the browser's hardware acceleration feature being disabled for you by the Google Chrome update to version 86. You can re-enable this feature manually, which will allow you to play the game again in most cases.

If the issue still persists, it could also be related to a compatibility problem, most likely caused by outdated drivers for your system, especially your graphics card. In case that's the issue, you need to update your graphic card drivers.

Finally, you can also try playing the game through another browser of your choice (e.g. Mozilla Firefox, which is not Chromium-based), or you are welcome to contact our support team by clicking the green "Contact us about this issue" button through the link below. We will be happy to assist you wherever we can!

For more information on the drivers issue, or about how to turn the hardware acceleration on, please check our Knowledge Base article.
