Update 04/02 04:08 (UTC)

Users that have been affected by the Yanko issue so far should be able to play now.

The issue hasn't been fixed completely so if anyone still runs into this issue (closing out the book screen without equipping Yanko) from this point, it will take some time for that to be resolved. However, the devs are working on a permanent fix that will be deployed as soon as it is ready.

If you haven't run into this issue yet, please make sure to equip Yanko without exiting out of the book screen to prevent it from happening. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your understanding.
