Thank you for the immediate feedback and issue reports following the launch of Endurance Classics Part 1. Your first-hand experience that you have shared with us in the survey and across our social media channels has allowed our engineering team to quickly isolate several friction points. Today we deployed version 1.2.5 to address some of the immediate issues.
