(1) If there is new (such as Jellbilly and Dragong) or temporary (such as seasonal scenery and monster costumes) content which is not part of an actual software update, the new resources (artwork, and presumably music) are not stored on your PC. Since they must be coming from somewhere, I'm assuming that when the game boots, they are recognized as missing resources, downloaded, and cached for use during that session. So, I don't have Jellbilly or Dragong art on my machine, but it's always visible in-game.

(2) When a new update comes out, it will then include permanent copies of the new resources, the way the Sox and ShugaFam artwork is now permanently resident on your PC. This is more efficient than having to pull down the missing resources each time.

So, I would expect that when there is a new update for the PC, it will include permanent art for the new Ethereals (Fung Pray, Dragong, Jellbilly, Bellowfish, Humbug, and Kazilleon, all added since the last PC update), the Paradise Castle, and probably some othe stuff that doesn't come to mind right now.

Possibly there is a problem with the "downloaded-and-cached" artwork mechanism for the Paradise Castle, which would be causing our crash. Or possibly it's unrelated to the new/missing artwork at all, and there's something else in the game mechanics re: Paradise Castle, such as the mechanism for collecting the reward, or the change in mumber of beds.

(No, I'm not a BBB dev, but I am a software developer, and that's what these symptoms look like to my somewhat practiced eye.)
