CASTLE DOOMBAD CLASSIC v1.5.1 - 1/2/26 Hello and Happy New Year! With the changing of the new year, we unfortunately experienced a calendar issue that caused the Holislay Event to end prematurely. This has now been resolved, and we’ve also extended the Holislay Event by an additional two weeks to compensate for the lost time. In addition, the error sadly caused Holislay Event Quest and Event Stage completion progress to be reset. (Note: your Event Unlocks and Event Currency were not affected by this, and both are retained). We realize how unfortunate this is, and to help make up for this, we'v

Unity provided developers a patch to correct this vulnerability, and we have included that fix in this minor update.
