I bought the game through the itch.io site and was wondering why it's not the recent version. I'm currently playing on the 0.8.3.3 when in-game it shows that it has the 0.8.6 version already

Hi! Besides itch, we also release the game in early access on services like Patreon | Subscribestar | Boosty. That early access build often has bugs (unfortunately, we don’t always manage to catch them all). A week after each patch goes out in early access, we release the itch version with all the fixes we find in the meantime. 0.8.6.1 will be out tomorrow.
I just checked the build again: the codebase and the delivery are the same between the demo and the full version. Let’s try to rule out a few things, maybe something will help.
GameAssembly.dll in the game folder? Antivirus software can sometimes delete it, because I don’t have an official certificate that antiviruses like for signing my code, and that leads to an error.Downloads\Magic-Academy-0.8.6.1-win\Magic-Academy-0.8.6.1-win\Magic Academy_Data\il2cpp_data\Metadata\global-metadata.dat. Try placing the game folder closer to the root of the drive, for example c:\HiddenGames\MagicAcademyLet me know once you’ve tried everything, and I’ll do my best to help.
