Players in this situation will no longer make simultaneous progress on the two maps, however, the duplicate map will remain "queued" and appear once they complete their initial map. This is a temporary fix until we can further investigate the problem of players occasionally being on two maps of the same category at the same time. Changes related to the mobile app apply to version 1.94.3 and above
