The Holly Jolly Hotfix 9.1.1 addresses several urgent issues introduced in Update 9.1, focusing primarily on performance stability and gameplay consistency. The most impactful change is the rollback of the Barricade to its pre-Update 9.0 behavior after unintended functionality caused significant performance problems.
Alongside the Barricade revert, the hotfix resolves visual bugs, removes a non-functioning Contract, adjusts playlist availability, and corrects a holiday store item mix-up. These fixes aim to stabilize the experience ahead of the holiday period while longer-term solutions remain in development.
