Known issues:

• In some cases, the Trade confirmation pop-up may fail to display the waiting spinner and a hint to cancel the request

• The upgrade counter works incorrectly if a player who has previously received upgrades receives them again in a co-op session. Please take a note that upgrades do not disappear, only the amount in the counter is incorrect

We hope you’ll have fun exploring Expeditions together!
