- **security** — Updated UnityPlayer.dll file to address a Unity engine security issue

Hey Everyone,

Due to a Unity engine security issue outlined here: [https://unity.com/security/sept-2025-01/remediation](https://unity.com/security/sept-2025-01/remediation)  we’ve updated the UnityPlayer.dll file for the following titles:

- The Forest VR

- Sons of the Forest

- Sons of the Forest Dedicated Server

This update is around 1-2mb.

The base version of The Forest and its dedicated server are not affected by this issue.

If you encounter any unexpected issues, please let us know so we can forward them to Unity.
