Is this game still supported and updated?

[KITRIK]

About half a year ago I tried the game using Uplay+ with a few friends.
It was fun for the first 5 rounds. Then we all saw what a bad game we were just playing.
My complaints about a 2014 game:
Disclaimer: I can live with a few bugs, but Monopoly Plus is just one big bug (too many game-breaking bugs).

• How is there no feature to save a game?
  
• How can you not disable the AFK timer?
  
• How can you not apply multiple special rulesets to a game?
  
• How the F is there a desync bug in any game that was not canceled?
  What do I mean you may ask:
  In the game, I played together with my friends at some point the money one of my friends had desynced. For the host and everyone else, he had enough money to buy a street. But he himself was not having enough. Thus for the rest of the game, he simply had about 1000$ less than he actually had. Him reconnecting did not help at all.
  
• How can you not add bots to multiplayer? - Found out why not, see next point
  
• How are the bots so bad? In the end, we needed to stop the game we played, because a bot destroyed it. One of our friends quit, bc he had enough of the worst game known to humankind.
  We got a bot to replace him. The bot then decided to roll the dices and got on a buyable street. There he tried to buy it. Then the "do you really want to buy" window came up and the bot decided to press "No". So he wanted to buy it but quickly changed his decision. It did not stop there, he did that infinitely. He tried to buy, got asked if he really wants to buy and said no and continued forever. And guess what: We got kicked by the AFK timer.
  That's why you cannot add bots to the multiplayer, they are simply coded too bad.
  
• There are a lot more problems with this game, but if you really tried to play the game once you can see them by yourself.
  
• My main question is:
  I am actually a little Ubisoft fan, I like how they handled their failures so far. I don't play For Honor or Rainbow Six, but both were really bad games at first, but Ubisoft did not stop to support them and now after a lot of updates both games are really great. Also, they publish Anno and the Settlers, both wonderful games.
  But that's not the point:
  I could have lived with all these problems because I did not buy the game and also a 6-year-old game can have so many problems, maybe it just flopped and no one @Ubisoft cared anymore to fix it. Sad but things like that happen.
  But there seems to be support for this game, still.
  I saw a developer trying to help in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/562810/discussions/0/2639605226293992952/ just 4 days ago. That blows my mind. How are they still "caring", but don't make the game even playable?

Can anyone give me an answer?

Oh hey, you linked a thread I replied to! Nice. :D

Hey KITRIK, you raise some really valid points here, and I appreciate you taking the time to create such a detailed post.

How is there no feature to save a game?
How can you not disable the AFK timer?
How can you not apply multiple special rulesets to a game?

I can certainly pass on these suggestions to the team. The first 2 are good QOL improvements and the 3rd could add a lot more replayability and variety to the game.

How are the bots so bad?

I'm sorry that the AI did that to you guys, that must have been super annoying! This is obviously unintended behavior, and if it happens again please post a video so I can raise it with the team.

But there seems to be support for this game, still.

This is correct. However, on the Support side of things we try to help you guys with technical issues you may be having with the game, both bug related and connectivity related. Reports of new bugs (preferably with evidence) can then be forwarded to the development team, so they are aware of it.

From there, we would need to wait for the developers to release updates that address the reported issues. Even considering the age of this game, I can assure you that we on the Support side of things will be here to help as best we can.

I hope this clears things up a little! :)

Oh, I did not expect to get a reply, especially not from you! :D
I am glad you took the time to read through my pretty long post. And sorry for me being a little harsh... Just read through it again and I didn't mean to sound that angry.

Also, I took the time not, because I only wanted to hate the game. Actually, when it worked I had good fun, but in the end, the bugs and things like the missing save feature really hurt the gameplay. And I see potential in the game, that's why I wrote this post in the first place.

To come back to what you wrote:

It would be great if you could do that! I don't expect an update that actually address that, though.

I'm sorry that the AI did that to you guys, that must have been super annoying! This is obviously unintended behavior, and if it happens again please post a video so I can raise it with the team.

Of course, I know that's not intended :D, but that's really game-breaking and should be fixed. Luckily I just found a record of the bug thanks to Shadowplay. And I did remember wrong. My friend did not quit, he got disconnected by the game.
I am sorry that the video is in German, but that's simply my point of origin. It's enough to see what's happening. The video is hosted on Google Fotos:

Thank you very much actually did not expect so much support for such an old game!

Greetings and thank you very much.

You're more than welcome, KITRIK!

I am glad you took the time to read through my pretty long post. And sorry for me being a little harsh... Just read through it again and I didn't mean to sound that bad.

First of all, you don't need to apologize - in an ideal world, games would run perfectly bug free 100% of the time - frustration is expected when they start acting up. I know it came from a good place!

I am sorry that the video is in German, but that's simply my point of origin. It's enough to see what's happening. The video is hosted on Google Fotos:

German is fine! The video is pretty self explanatory. Tommy, you evil AI...

I'll get this forwarded to the team, thank you for having a record of this!

Thanks for the great support! I appreciate it. :)

Hi Ubi_Spud and KITRIK,

Your point on the AFK (Away From Keyboard) was really valid. Found this highly annoying and ruined what was a really great game!

While attempting to mortgage properties to pay for rent, you only get a few seconds before the game decides you are taking too long and simply bankrupts a player? Is there a way to turn this feature off or even extend the timer?

Your assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the additional feedback/context on this especially. I'll pass this on to the team also.

At present this feature is not possible.

Hello,

Is there any news on implementing these QOL features? It's been a year :)

Kind regards!

[Nimplex]

yea also wanted to buy this game.... but all shop reviews are very bad... also the "newest"...
so was there actually ANY update since this post over a year? :D

[bluefoxxx]

No updates, no buy!

[GhostOokami]

There hasn't been an update since Feb 2019, 2 years ago. They say they are supporting it but nah, they are just keeping servers on. Loads of bugs still.

ok thx saved me money :)

Just watched yet another stream of a game wrecked by the insanely short afk timer. Even when working out a trade, it counts you as afk despite everyone seeing you be active. That is a BUG, not a QOL feature. The result is you have no time to discuss or negotiate, WHICH IS THE WHOLE GAME.
@Ubi_Spud @Ubi-Orien you still working there?

I'm certain, this game was already abandoned when I created this thread.
Ubi should delist it from Steam or fix the issues, this game is broken.

Hey guys,

Thanks for reaching out.

The game doesn't receive regular patches at this stage.

If you have any video examples of the AFK timer issues and the game not recognising you as present, we're more than happy to pass them on to the team, but as noted above, we're unable to provide guarantees or time scales of changes being implemented considering the stage of development the game is in.
