Hi,

I kept on getting,

I switched to CharacterA and went to a nearby oasis. Then leave the Great Desert then switched to CharacterB but getting the same popup message.
I completely closed the game, but the problem still exists.

 If you have a character in the Great Desert, you cannot enter the Great Desert with another Family Character.
ㆍ This does not apply if you left the character in an Oasis.

So, basically they killing us with reduced water plus this as you can't put alt in desert anymore for quick access.

I moved CharacterA into the town, no diff.
I took CharacterA into the Hadum mode before switched to CharacterB, the same message popped up.

This is being discussed in discord right now, I suppose you could head in there for a faster reply. GM Serbianco is also active right now.

EDIT:

But...Katan soldier doesn't have an option to talk to, only craft or buy/sell options are available to interact....

Yeah, open the shop and craft (just interact) then go to bazaar or gateway then change character.

That's worked!!! (crafted then ported to Gateway before change to alt)

Thanks

I just logged in to the game and lots of things have changed :( . Will try some of the advises here.
