Issues fixed

Game crashes after restarting event

This bug triggers the game to eventually crash when restarting the event from the main menu or when it ends.

Exit to the main menu and start the same event again.[3]

It's suggested that the game has a memory management issue when redoing an event. Going to the main menu gives the event a fresh start instead.
