[p]Happy New Year![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for being part of the RISK community. We’re excited for the changes coming in 2026.
[/p][p]The team will be back on the 7th. See you then for more updates and news.[/p][p][/p][p]Team RISK@SMG.[/p][p]
[/p]

[p]Sorry, we messed up. 3.21 was a rough release. After a few hotfixes, things are now in a much better place.[/p][p][/p][p]To say thank you for sticking with us, and to wish everyone a happy holiday - have a free dice on us.[/p][p][/p][p]To claim your dice, log into the game before Jan 14. You may need to visit the home screen a couple of times for the dice giveaway to trigger. (If it still doesn't work, try closing and reopening.)[/p][p][/p][p]We've got big things planned for next year. In the meantime, have a great holidays.[/p][p][/p][p]Team: SMG[/p]

[h2]Bugfixes[/h2]

1. [p]Fixed one more instance where players and bots could spawn multiple caps.[/p]
2. [p]Fixed a bug that could make player emotes, friends and other account-specific config disappear game to game.[/p]
3. [p]Multiple players and bots sharing the colour red should no longer be possible.[/p]
4. [p]Minimising the app should cause less interference with other player's turn timers on mobile.[/p]
5. [p]Bots in manual placement should no longer wait out their entire turn timers.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Known Issues[/h2]

1. [p]We are aware of a bug that will cause player's published Sandbox maps to disappear if they log out of their accounts. We are working on a server-side fix we will be deploying in the coming days. (edit: this fix has now been deployed. Published maps will not disappear on a log out. Please note that drafts will continue to disappear, so make sure you publish your maps before logout if you want to keep them.)[/p]

[p][/p][p]Thanks, and have a great holiday!
