RISK: Global Domination — RISK UPDATE v3.22.1 RELEASE NOTES

RISK UPDATE v3.22.1 RELEASE NOTES

This is our last update for 2025 so hopefully everyone can enjoy Sandbox and the new content over the break. A big thank you again to everyone who helped us identify issues in 3.21 - especially members of our Risk Beta Discord.

While we’ve fixed most of the pressing issues with 3.21’s release, we’re aware there are a few outstanding - these are listed at the bottom. We will be pushing one more update ASAP next year when the studio returns from break.

Thanks and have a happy holiday season!

Bugfixes
Rejoin/Reconnection issues:

  • A player rejoining should no longer cause other player turn timers to reset or change.

  • Rejoining a game can no longer cause other players’ turns to skip or be reverted.

Known Issues
Major:
Minor:

  • We are aware of some UI glitches in zombie mode (non-updating pucks, missing & incorrectly timed animations). Investigating for a fix next year.
