Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children

[Notice] Information of a fixed bug



Hello everyone, this is Troubleshooter development team.

The dev team received a report that one's account could be linked to another player's account on online mode.

In the process of finding a cause of it, we found that this bug was caused by judging similar Steam ID as the same Steam ID due to the inconsistency of the data in recognizing and converting Steam ID.

This bug has been fixed at 3 p.m.(GMT + 9) today.

This problem was caused by the poor performance of the development team. We're sorry for showing our inexperience in online mode operation.


As a result of the development team's identification of the accounts that could have been affected by the above bug, it has been confirmed that there have been about 60 cases in the past two and a half years.

Typical case that can be caused by this bug include:

  • There is a company in the company list that I did not create.
  • On the login screen, the company I didn't use is selected.
  • The company that I was using until yesterday disappeared.


If you have experienced something similar to the above, please let the development team know through the link below.

Once again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced.

Thank you.

[Notice] Beasts evolution and masteries bugs



Hello everyone, this is Troubleshooter development team.

There was an issue with the beasts and the masteries between last Friday and Sunday. This has led to the loss of already selected masteries at the next evolution step.

Currently, this issue was fixed through emergency update last Sunday to prevent further occurring, but the development team's thought was short, so there was insufficient follow-up to the beasts that had already evolved.

To make up for this, yesterday (Monday) at around 11 p.m.(GMT+9), we applied an additional emergency update to allow players to set again beasts' evolution masteries if the beast has more evolution masteries than its evolution step.

It will not be enough reward for the inconvenience that many players have inconveniences, but the dev team hopes it will be a small reward for your precious time.

In addition, we're sure there were players who chose the masteries they wanted regardless of the bug. Therefore, if we proceed with the batch initialization process, these players will suffer.

Therefore, we would like to initialize the masteries of beasts only for those who want it.

If all the players who fall under all the following require the development team to initialize the beast's masteries, the development team will proceed with the initialization manually.

1. The one who uses online mode
2. The one who tamed beasts at the time of the bug

* Time of the bug:
CET: May 21st 02:00 ~ May 23th 08:00
JST: May 21st 09:00 ~ May 23th 15:00
PST: May 20th 17:00 ~ May 22nd 23:00
UTC: May 21st 00:00 ~ May 23th 06:00 UTC

If you want to initialization of the beasts, please tell us your intention in the comments of this notice, the development team will let you know in the comments after proceeding with the work.

The comment MUST include all the below requirements.

1. Agree to initialize beasts' evolution masteries
2. The server on which your company is located
3. Company Name
4. The name and the type(Tima, Negoori, Draki, Yasha, Crabmit) of the beast that you want to initialize.
( * !Important! Please make sure that there are no beasts with same name. )

Once again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you.
