[2021] Oil tankers get stuck, doesn't follow trade route

Hey there, @dikkeduif_ - thanks for your report about this.

When you say your ship goes somewhere not related, do you mean just randomly out into the ocean, or do they go to another, unrelated port? It looks like you've tried to send over a second screenshot there which may have answered my question, but it doesn't seem to have uploaded.

If your ship is stopping in the middle of the ocean randomly, I can confirm this is something we've got fixed for an upcoming update, which we'll be releasing as soon as we can. If something else is happening, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help you get to the bottom of it

Thank you for getting back to us @dikkeduif_ !

A fix for this issue has since been established and should be coming to the game soon in an upcoming patch!

Please watch this space for more news on this when it becomes available and thank you for your help with this!

Hello Apparentape thank you also for your reply and letting us know this affects your cargo ship.

When you encounter this, can I ask is does it occur on islands you have conquered from other AI players?

There is a workaround that can sometimes fix this by manually pausing and unpausing the trade routes, we do have a planned fix for this in a future update.

The issue should be fixed with today's Game Update 12.1

After the update, please verify your game files and let us know if you still encounter the issue.
Thank you!

Thank you for confirming this issue is also resolved for you dikkeduif_ after the update. Thanks again for your patience and your help to investigate further.

If you have any more questions or run into any issues, feel free to make a new post and take care.
