So here's the thing about launching a major update on New Year's Eve - maybe don't? Project Moon just learned this lesson the hard way with their December 31st scheduled update that's causing some pretty annoying issues for players trying to ring in 2026.
The main problem? Combat encounters are straight up breaking. Players are reporting that when they try to progress through battles, the game just... doesn't. Whether it's freezing, crashing, or doing something else entirely weird, the devs haven't been super specific about what's actually happening. All we know is that combat is borked and they're "investigating."
Look, I get it. Nobody wants to be the dev team working overtime on New Year's Eve to fix a broken update. But maybe that's exactly why you shouldn't push major patches on December 31st? Just a thought. Project Moon says they'll drop another notice once they figure out what went wrong and when we can expect a hotfix.
In the meantime, if you're playing their game tonight (whatever it is - they didn't specify in the notice), maybe hold off on any important combat encounters. Or just take a break and go watch the ball drop instead. The bugs will still be there tomorrow, trust me.
Here's hoping the hotfix comes sooner rather than later. Nothing kills the New Year vibes quite like a broken game update.
