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!
