Patch Notes – October 4, 2022

 

PLEASE NOTE: If you haven’t updated your game yet, get the latest in the app store!

 

General Updates

We’ve polished up a lot of visuals in the game, you might experience more asset downloading happening with this update!

GENERAL

• Inbox: We’ve added an “Inbox” tab within the News section where you can expect to find messages and upcoming rewards!
• Welcome Bundle: Check out the Shop for a featured Welcome Bundle that includes a Captain America Variant Card, Captain America Variant Avatar, plus 700 Gold. (Welcome Bundle can only be purchased once!)
• Default FPS is now 30fps – we think that 30fps offers a good balance between fluidity and battery life. If you’d like to change this, you can increase to 60fps in the Settings menu.
• Variant Rarity System: 75% of existing variants are now labeled as Rare Variants and have had their cost reduced in the Daily Offers Shop from 750G to 700G. Other variants will become Super Rare and will now only be available in the Daily Offers shop for 1200G.
• We’ve added 75+ Rare Variants and 25+ Super Rare variants to the game!

LOCALIZATION

• Added text support for the following languages (selectable from the language drop-down in the Settings menu – in addition to English and Latin American Spanish):
  • Chinese (Simplified)
  • Chinese (Traditional)
  • French
  • German
  • Indonesian
  • Italian

  • Thai
• Added Voice Over support for the following languages (in addition to English and Spanish):
  • Chinese

ART & VISUAL EFFECTS

• Boosters are now color-coded to match their cards!
• Many, many elements were polished, adjusted, and generally spruced up!

 

Balance Updates

CARD UPDATES

• Bishop: [3/2] -> [3/1]

Developer Comment: Bishop sees a lot of play in a variety of decks as a strong generalist card. We’re hoping that, by nerfing him a bit, other options will be more appealing for players to explore.

• Magik: [5/3] You can’t play this on turn 6. On Reveal: Change this location to Limbo.

Developer Comment: Playing Magik to unexpectedly extend the game on the final turn is a very powerful and game-warping effect, so we are adding this restriction to her in order to tone her down.

• Mister Negative: [4/1] -> [4/-1]

Developer Comment: We believe the Magik change will have a big impact on Mr. Negative, but we are also taking a bit more power away from him.

• Nakia: [3/1] On Reveal: Give the 2 leftmost cards in your hand +2 Power.

Developer Comment: Nakia’s ability often feels too random to play around effectively. We’re having her buff the two leftmost cards in your hand so players can better plan their play around her.

• Ronan: [5/3] Ongoing: +2 Power for each card in your opponent’s hand.

Developer Comment: Ronan’s ability is very powerful at higher values, so we are reeling his cap in a bit to prevent him from getting out of control.

• Goose: [2/2] Ongoing: Nobody can play 4, 5, or 6-Cost cards at this location.

See the Developer Comment in Location Updates below.

• Text only updates:
  • Armin Zola
  • Ghost Rider
  • Captain marvel
  • Dracula
  • Hazmat
  • Ironheart

LOCATION UPDATES

Developer Comment: We have a number of updates to abilities that enact play restrictions to make them check the adjusted Cost of cards in hand rather than their original, base Cost. For example, if your Sentinel costs 4 due to Wave, you can play it at Crimson Cosmos.

• Crimson Cosmos: (OLD – 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards can’t be played here.) NEW – Cards that cost 1, 2, or 3 can’t be played here.
• Hellfire Club: (OLD – 1-Cost cards can’t be played here.) NEW – Cards that cost 1 can’t be played here.
• The Big House: (OLD – 4, 5, and 6-Cost cards can’t be played here.) NEW – Cards that cost 4, 5, or 6 can’t be played here.

PLEASE NOTE: If you haven’t updated your game yet, get the latest in the app store!

 

General Updates

GENERAL

• Emotes: A new set of emotes are available for use! Check them out while playing a match by tapping your avatar & let your opponent know how you’re feeling about the latest play!
• The matchmaking system will allow for longer wait time for high-ranked players to increase the likelihood of finding a more competitive opponent.
• Weekly Mission requirements have been reduced to 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 completed Daily Missions. (Previously 5, 10, 20, 30, and 35)
• The Game Result Screen has been visually upgraded.
• Card art variant names are now visible in the Shop and Card Detail screen.

Balance Updates

CARD UPDATES

• Arnim Zola: No longer adds copies of a card if his target was not destroyed.

• Baron Mordo: [2/3] On Reveal: Your opponent draws a card. Set its Cost to 6.

Developer Comment: Baron Mordo’s Cost increase tends to be very inconsequential in practice. We’re bumping his effect’s Cost markup to make it more impactful.

• Jessica Jones: [4/4] On Reveal: If you don’t play a card here next turn, +4 Power.

Developer Comment: Jessica Jones’ effect is one that was a bit too stifling to be reliant on turn 6. So we’re looking at a change similar to Rescue, where moving her to be a 4-Cost card will allow her effect to see more play.

• Lady Sif: [2/4] -> [3/4]

Developer Comment: Lady Sif’s effect in combination with many other cards is very strong, especially on a 2-Cost card with high power, so we’re moving her up to 3-Cost.

• Mister Negative: [4/4] -> [4/1]

Developer Comment: The Mister Negative deck is very strong, and tends to have an unhealthy play pattern of skipping your first few turns. We are taking Mister Negative’s Power down to tone the deck down. While this may seem like a big change, the power of the deck is largely in the cards hit by Mister Negative so we don’t forsee this being a massive hit to the deck’s overall power.

• Professor X: Ongoing: Lock down this location. (Cards can’t be added, removed, etc.)

Developer Comment: We’re making Professor X’s text more general, as the expectation for his effect tends to be more aligned with “This location is locked and nothing can happen” rather than “Only these effects in the parentheses are disabled”. Along with this change, Professor X will now prevent cards from switching ownership, like Hobgoblin.

• Spider-Man: [4/2] -> [4/3]

Developer Comment: Spider-Man is a bit weak right now, so we’re giving him an extra Power to help him out.

• Thor: [4/6] -> [3/4]

Developer Comment: Reducing Thor’s Cost should give players more flexibility when they play him, and also allow more time to draw Mjolnir.

5-COST CARD UPDATES

• Abomination: [5/8] -> [5/9]
• Aero: [5/6] -> [5/8]
• Black Bolt: [5/7] -> [5/8]
• Blue Marvel: [6/4] -> [5/3]
• Devil Dinosaur: [4/0] -> [5/3]
• Gamora: [5/7] On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +5 Power.
• Klaw: [5/4] Ongoing: The location to the right has +6 Power.
• Red Skull: [5/14] -> [5/15]
• Ronan: [5/0] Ongoing: +3 Power for each card in your opponent’s hand.
• Spider-Woman: [4/4] -> [5/7]

6-COST CARD UPDATES

• Agatha Harkness: [6/13] -> [6/14]
• Hulk: [6/11] -> [6/12]
• Onslaught: [6/6] -> [6/7]
• Spectrum: [6/4] -> [6/5]
• Ultron: [6/8] On Reveal: Create four 1-Power Drones at each other location.

Developer Comment: Many of our 5 and 6-Cost cards don’t quite live up to their lofty Energy Costs. We’d also like to give our 5-Cost cards some more identity, as many of them at the moment have rather simplistic effects compared to many of the other cards in Snap. We’re making a suite of balance changes targeted at the 5 and 6 Cost range to help some cards that are underperforming, and provide some more interesting options at 5 Cost.

LOCATION UPDATES

• Attilan: After turn 3, shuffle your hand into your deck. Draw 3 cards. 

Developer Comment: We believe that moving Attilan’s trigger to the end of turn 3 will make it clearer to players, as they’ll be able to easily tell that they have until turn 3 is over to use up their hand.

• New Location – Necrosha: Cards here have -2 Power.

Developer Comment: Klyntar has been replaced with Necrosha.

 

Bug Fixes

In-Match Fixes

• Cards should now be less likely to show up black/blank/empty during matches.

Developer Comment: We fixed the main bug where bunch of card art would suddenly turn black in the middle of a game! We are still on the look out for other ways card art could show up black.

• Fixed an issue where Lechuguilla or Korg adding rocks to hand could cause clients to freeze.
• Fixed a bug that should prevent Deathlok visual effects freezing some devices.
• Players can now retreat if your opponent plays Daredevil on turn 5 and snaps.
• Fixed a bug where two friendly Daredevils would result in their effect being canceled.
• Wong’s ability now functions correctly with Onslaught if Onslaught is played after Wong.
• On Reveal effects triggered by Odin are now doubled by Kamar-Taj.
• Improved speed of Ka-Zar and Blue Marvel’s abilities when they update card power.
• Fixed an issue where Domino can get stuck in your hand after you’ve played her.
• Fixed an issue where Hulks created at Gamma Lab retained modifiers from before transformation. Gamma Lab now turns token/spawned cards into Hulks properly.
• Fixed an issue where The Peak did not visually change the power of some cards.
• Xandar VFX activation cleaned up
• Falcon VFX now moves when Falcon moves
• Fixed an issue where cards could go invisible in-hand when switching hands with your opponent.
• Limbo VFX should no longer appear if the game is already over when the location is revealed (if Dark Dimension or Invisible Woman is in play).
• The opponent’s cards in the top-right of the rightmost location should now be easier to tap to focus.
• Mister Fantastic no longer plays VFX if he is played on the only location remaining (if Worldship is in play).
• Slightly adjusted the End Turn button’s readability and transitions.

GENERAL FIXES

• Fixed an issue where auto-pushed season rewards could soft-lock the client.
• TVA no longer prevents missions from completing correctly.
• Death’s body is no longer missing on her base card art.
• Collector’s Cache/Reserve images no longer disappear when scrolling the CLTR.
• Swiping through cards in the collection no longer closes the card instead of moving to the next card.
• Pasting a deck if you do not own all the cards will now create a deck with the cards you do own for that copied deck.
• Players should now get credit for completing the “Win Matches with a Snap” mission when their opponent snapped (it was being counted only when the player snapped).
• Season Key Art should now show up again on Android
• Android “Back” button should now take you to the main screen if used in the Shop and Collection screens.
• Many bug fixes for various card and avatar art (this may cause your game to re-download some assets).

Patch Notes – July 29, 2022

 

Developer Note

Since last week, the team has been absorbing all your feedback regarding Nexus Events and we’ve been working towards finding the best solution. To that end, this update removes all future Nexus Events from MARVEL SNAP. (The “Test your Might” Nexus Event will end at its scheduled time on Monday, Aug 1 @ 8PM PT.)  Additionally, we’ve reverted the change to credit bundle purchases that came with the Nexus Events update – you can again use gold to purchase multiple credit bundles in the shop each day. These changes are just a first step that we could implement quickly. We’re continuing to work on the path forward and plan to keep you updated along the way. Thanks for all your feedback and discussion as we continue to iterate and improve the game!

 

General Updates

• Removed all future Nexus Events from the game. (The “Test your Might” Nexus Event will end at its scheduled time on Monday, Aug 1 @ 8PM PT.)
• Reverted the change to credit bundle purchases that came with the Nexus Events update – you can again use gold to purchase multiple credit bundles in the shop each day.

Collection Level Evolution

 

One piece of feedback we’ve been getting is that the Collection Level past 1000 feels… not so great.  Part of it is the mystery rewards that have no bad luck protection.  Part of it is looking into the future and knowing it’ll be a long way until you unlock your next new card. And it gets really rough past CL 1500 where every new card takes 96 Collection Level to earn.

We’re going to try a new system in our 3.0 patch that attempts to improve the experience.  Starting at CL 500 we’ll begin dropping a Collector’s Cache.  Collector’s Cache will have a 50% chance to have a new card, and a 50% chance to get gold, credits, or boosters.  The amount of currency you get is significantly more than the mystery rewards we had before.  GONE are the days of 50g at a time; now if you happen to roll gold, you’ll be getting 150 gold.  (Yes, that’s 3x more gold!) Or, Instead of 100 or 200 Credits, you’ll get 150 or 300!  (Yes, that 50% more!)

Collector’s Cache

 

At CL 1000, instead of Collector’s Cache, every 12 levels you’ll get Collector’s Reserve.  These boxes have a 25% chance to get a new card, a 25% chance to earn a new cosmetic reward (like a variant or avatar), as well as even MORE currency than Collector’s Cache, like 200g, or 200-400 Credits.  Not only does this represent a huge increase to the amount of currency we’re giving out, it also means we’re significantly increasing the number of variants players will get from the Collection Level road.

Collector’s Reserve

 

What does this mean for how often you’ll get new cards?

Until about CL 1500, it’ll be about the same pace.  It’ll be a bit more random, but we have bad luck protection in place that will make sure everyone who has the same Collection Level will have almost exactly the same number of unique cards.  We want it to be surprising and exciting, but also fair.  AFTER CL 1500 is where we’ve made the biggest change.  Compared to the previous patch, you’ll be unlocking cards twice as fast as before.  This is a massive speed-up, that we hope really reduces the feeling of it being a “slog”.  It means that completing an entire collection of every card will occur much faster than before.

These are exciting changes that we think players are really going to love.  Please keep the feedback coming – we know we still have a lot of work to do as we get ready to launch the game globally, and we’re counting on y’all to help us make MARVEL SNAP the absolute best game it can be!

– Second Dinner

 

Patch Notes – July 19, 2022

Patch Highlights

• We’ve introduced a new feature, Nexus Events! These are limited-time events that offer new cards, variants, avatars and more! Nexus Events are available in the Shop and can be purchased with Gold. (Read the event detail blog for more information!)
• Weekly Mission system has been completely overhauled allowing players much more flexibility on when & how they’d like to earn rewards. 
• Update to the Collection Level Road (CLR)! We’re changing Card and Mystery Rewards in the CLR at Collection Level 500+ to Collector’s Caches and Collector’s Reserve Caches. This will cause players to get significantly more credits, gold, and variants, as well as doubling the pace of card rewards for players above 1500 Collection Level. (Read the deep-dive blog for more information!)

We’re continuing to test, iterate and improve – please keep sharing your thoughts and feedback!

 

General Updates

NEW FEATURE: NEXUS EVENTS

• Nexus Events are limited-time events that offer new cards, variants, avatars and more! They are available in the Shop and can be purchased with Gold. (Read the event detail blog for more information!)

GENERAL

• Collector’s Caches: We’re changing Card and Mystery Rewards in the Collection Level Road at Collection Level 500+ to Collector’s Caches and Collector’s Reserve Caches.

• Card Upgrade visuals and sound effects have been updated. Check it out next time you upgrade any of your cards!
• Season Cache: Season Rewards for level 51 and beyond have been updated to the Season Cache, which can contain credits, boosters, or sometimes even gold and variants!

• Added Tier Title to your rank in the Ranked Rewards menu to make it easier to understand your current rank.
• Added “Report a Bug” feature to the Settings menu that allows players to directly report bugs in-game!

MISSIONS

• Fancy new UI to make it easier to claim Daily and Season Missions with less taps.

Card Updates

BALANCE UPDATES

• America Chavez – [6/10] -> [6/9]

Developer Comment: America Chavez sees a very high amount of play in various deck archetypes right now. We are nerfing her Power down to make other options more enticing.

• Crossbones: [4/8] You can only play this at locations where you are winning.

Developer Comment: This is mostly a wording change. It only really affects Crossbones’s interaction with Bar With No Name. We think this new text will make the card clearer and easier to understand quickly.

• Ebony Maw – [1/6] -> [1/7]

Developer Comment: We are giving Ebony Maw a bit more Power to make playing around his heavy limitations more rewarding.

• Ghost Rider – [3/3] -> [4/3]

Developer Comment: Ghost Rider will often be an outlier in Power due to the amount of Power he can ‘cheat’ out. We are nerfing his Cost to make his resurrection come at a higher price.

• Hulkbuster – No longer grants his Cost to the attached card

Developer Comment: Hulkbuster affecting Cost turned out to be largely unexpected by players. After further consideration, we believe this update will create more interesting and exciting gameplay and deckbuilding experiences for players.

• Jubilee (OLD: On Reveal: Play the top card of your deck to this location.) NEW – On Reveal: Play a card from your deck to this location.

Developer Comment: Jubilee’s previous functionality had some unintended interactions with America Chavez, causing her to frequently pull Chavez, creating a near-guarantee “4 energy for 11 Power” play, which was not desired nor intended.

• Ka-Zar – [4/5] -> [4/4]

Developer Comment: Ka-Zar tends to give a bit too much Power right now, so we are taking his base Power down a notch.

• Okoye – [1/1] -> [2/2]

Developer Comment: Okoye as a 1-Cost proved to be too powerful as an opener, so we are nerfing her to a 2-Cost and giving her a little extra Power.

• Scarlet Witch – [1/2] -> [2/3]

Developer Comment: Scarlet Witch is a bit too good at working around location selections right now. We are making her powers a bit more costly to preserve the stability of our locations from her reality warping.

• Scorpion – [3/3] -> [2/2]

Developer Comment: Scorpion is a rather weak card right now. With this change, players should have much more freedom in how they utilize him.

• Strong Guy – [2/3] -> [4/4]

Developer Comment: Strong Guy was a very clear outlier in his power as a 2-Cost card. We also want him to be more of a build-around card to provide an “empty hand” avenue in the discard archetype, so we are increasing his Cost and giving him a small Power boost to compensate.

• Killmonger and Sandman – Available earlier on the Collection Level Road

Developer Comment: We like to make sure players have tools to counter major strategies before they get too deep in the Collection Level Road. We hope that moving these cards earlier in the collection level road will give players more options to deal with low-cost go-wide decks in the earlier stages of collection.  If you’re already deep in the road and haven’t found these cards, your next 2 cards will be Killmonger and Sandman.

GENERAL UPDATES

• Thor can now appear from effects that add random cards, such as Agent 13 or X-Mansion.

 

Bug Fixes

• Attempting to fix an issue with getting stuck on Waiting for turn if no cards are played.
• Navigation Bar notification for upgradeable cards in the Collection does not show unless you also have enough Credits to upgrade the card.
• Lots of card art fixes!

• Turned down the brightness on the Booster icon.
• Morph should now display properly after turning into another card.
• Fixed several location VFX that don’t move if the locations are shuffled.
• Miniaturized Lab now displays properly on Android.
• Lemuria should now use the correct art.
• Fixed America Chavez/Domino with Weirdworld not working correctly.
• Fixed a bug where location power would not update correctly after resolving Green Goblin or Hobgoblin in a location with Professor X.
• Renamed Ultra Legendary rarity to Ultra.
• Adjusted spacing between decks in card Collections.
• Fixed an interaction between The Collector and Sabretooth that would cause a crash.

Developer Comment: While this change will affect less than 10% of players, we think it will help keep our currencies in balance a little better for the players it does affect. Once players get too many Boosters, they can’t use them anyway, as they won’t be able to get enough Credits to convert them to Collection Level.

• Optimization and performance updates

 

Missions

• It is now easier to complete the “Win a Location with only 1 card” Daily Missions.
  • Normal Mission objective has been reduced to 1.
  • Hard Mission objective has been reduced to 2. 
• Missions with “Complete Missions” as a goal will now make progress when players actively claim Missions instead of when Missions are merely fulfilled.

 

Season Pass

• Starting with Season 2, Premium Season Pass purchase now unlocks the first reward instantly.
• Increased XP Rewards granted for completing Season Missions – this should make it easier to complete the Season Pass, even if you just do the missions!
• Season Pass Rewards Updates:
  • Increased total Credits rewards over the entire season from 2100 to 2400 Credits.
  • Decreased total Boosters rewarded over the entire season from 200 to 185 Boosters.
• Season Pass Meter now displays current Season Pass Level instead of next Season Pass Level.

 

Card Updates

• Colossus: [2/3] Ongoing: Can’t be destroyed, moved, or have its power reduced.

Developer Comment: Colossus could use a little help, and we wanted to match the theme of “you can’t do anything to this card” better. This change gives him a little boost in both power and fantasy.

 

• Crystal: [4/4] On Reveal: If this is at the middle location, shuffle your hand into your deck and draw 3 cards.

Developer Comment: This change gives Crystal more flexibility, in case players don’t want to replace their hand.

 

• Destroyer: [6/16] On Reveal: Destroy your other cards.

Developer Comment: Destroyer needed a bit of help to make playing around his effect worthwhile. This bump in power should help him pull his weight!

 

• Devil Dinosaur: [4/0] Ongoing: +2 Power for each card in your hand.

Developer Comment: Devil Dino was way too powerful for its cost. Typically, you can expect around a 6-Power Devil Dinosaur without extra investment, which lands the card at roughly 4-Cost worth of Power. Once you start investing in its effect, its power shoots way, way beyond what a 3-Cost card should achieve with how easily cards like Sentinel and Moon Girl compliment the Dino. We’ve decided to bump Devil Dino’s cost to bring it more in line with the cost to power ratio we expect for cards.

 

• Doctor Strange: [3/3] On Reveal: Move your highest Power cards to this location.

Developer Comment: Along with Kraven, Doctor Strange needed some love to strengthen Move decks. This buff along with bug fixes should help keep the “Supreme” in Sorcerer Supreme.

 

• Kraven: [2/2] When a card moves here, this gets +2 Power.

Developer Comment: Kraven is one of the weakest cards in the game. We’re giving him a boost in both power and activation flexibility to make him feel more impactful.

 

• Moon Girl: [4/4] On Reveal: Duplicate your hand.

Developer Comment: Moon Girl proved to be a powerful combo piece to enable low Cost card combos. We are nerfing her to both nerf the strategies that she primarily interacts with, like The Collector, and also to mitigate future scenarios with her enabling unintended low Cost Card combos.

 

• Nova: [1/2] When this is destroyed, give your cards +1 Power.

Developer Comment: After looking at card performance, we have identified Nova as a very clear outlier. We believe the change from +2 Power to +1 Power, brings this card more in-line with other deck strategies.

 

• Okoye: [1/1] On Reveal: Give every card in your deck +1 Power.

Developer Comment: Okoye’s current tuning can make game outcomes feel too centered around playing her on turn 2. As we’re also looking to increase the pool of 1-Cost cards in the game, Okoye looked to be a perfect candidate to adjust.

 

• White Queen: [4/6] On Reveal: Draw a copy of the highest Cost card in your opponent’s hand.

Developer Comment: Oftentimes, White Queen felt like a 4/6 On Reveal: Say “No 6-Cost in hand”. This should help her consistency by having her always draw you a card.

• Text-only updates for Morbius, Klaw, Widow’s Bite, and Rockslide. Gameplay functionality of these cards has not changed.

 

Location Updates

General

• Locations with effects that say “At the end of” have been changed to say “After”. Gameplay functionality has not changed.
• Decreased the appearance rates for Negative Zone, Space Throne, and Knowhere.

 

New Locations

These locations have been added to the base set: 

• Starlight Citadel: After turn 4, swap the position of each location.
• Death’s Domain: When you play a card here, destroy it. (Previously this effect was seen on Knowhere)
• The Ice Box: Give a card in each players’ hand +1 Cost.
• Attilan: On turn 4, shuffle your hand into your deck. Draw 3 cards.

 

Location Changes

• Knowhere: On Reveal effects do not happen at this location.

Developer Comment: We felt the theme of destroying a card on play fits much better with Death, so we shifted the effect to Death’s Domain and gave Knowhere a new ability.

• Mirror Dimension: On turn 4, transform into one of the other locations.

Developer Comment: This change should help make Mirror Dimension’s interaction with location reveal effects such as Tinkerer’s Workshop more clear. This also makes the transformation timing consistent with Westview.

 

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with certain devices that would cause players to get stuck at the splash screen or first tutorial when starting the game for the first time.
• Lots and lots of fixes for various character and variant card art!
• Fixed an issue that caused the Bar With No Name sound effect to endlessly loop, even post-game.
• Fixed an issue that would cause Bar With No Name to have no sound effects.
• Addressed an issue that would cause elements from the game screen to show behind cards during the end-of-game Card upgrade sequence.
• Fixed a problem that would cause Uatu The Watcher’s visual effect to show up if your opponent had him in hand or in play.
• Resolved an issue that would prevent Cards unlocked from Season Pass rewards from being Infinity Split.
• Fixed an issue where Doctor Strange would stop attempting to move cards too early if it made unsuccessful attempts, such as on Colossus.
• Fixed an issue where Doctor Strange wouldn’t always pull cards if there were multiple cards with the same power.
• Fixed an issue where the Hard “Win a location with 4 cards” mission was not giving the right rewards.
• Fixed an issue causing Domino and America Chavez to interact unexpectedly with Weirdworld.
• Fixed a rare issue that would result in duplicate starting locations.
• Fixed various “Aw Snap” errors that could kick players out of matches.
• Fixed an issue where cards can sometimes show greyed out when focused in the collection.
• Fixed an issue where you briefly see the wrong Season Pass header/information when going to the Season Pass menu.
• Fixed an issue where cards and locations from the game board can show up during the end-of-game results screen.
• Fixed an issue where it was possible to activate Main Menu buttons while on the missions screen.
