General Issue With CO-OP Mode

[h3]Dear Players,[/h3]

Weโ€™re aware that some of you are experiencing issues with co-op mode in Animal Shelter 2. We're truly sorry for the trouble.

This was caused by last nightโ€™s Steam breakdown, which affected connections with our game. Weโ€™re currently working together with Steam to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Weโ€™ll keep you updated as we make progress, and we really appreciate your patience and support.

Thank you for sticking with us! ๐Ÿ’›
