Ships At Sea News

Ahoy, sailors!

Here is a small update with a few fixes. The Net Fishing is now enabled again, and we've fixed some common crashes on GPUs. With this update, the net fishing now includes an emergency stop button. This allows you to stop the fishing process, removing all fish and returning your net to the boat's storage.

Changelog

• Adjusted throttle position on DrPhil
  
• Adjusted wake on DrPhil and Conquest
  
• Disabled native FSR3 to potentially fix many common GPU crashes
  
• Enabled net fishing, which also has an emergency stop button in case you need to stop the hauling process
  
• Fixed lateral sea markers around Værøy that do not show up on the map as they should
  
• Fixed problem with tutorial window not closing when cancelled
  
• Fixed typo in Yamar engine upgrade
  
• Fixed missing collision on island northeast of Røst
  
• Improved water shader, should have less graphical glitching, especially on low settings
  
• Insurance is stored in the savegame
  
• Limited number of nets you can hold on Conquest
  
• Several minor improvements and optimizations
  

Stay tuned for more updates and happy sailing!

[h2]Roadmap[/h2]
For those who can´t wait to see what´s coming during the Early Access phase, we are excited to share a link to our roadmap. This link outlines the details of our vision for the final version of Ships At Sea, which is set for release in 2026, together with the console version. We are committed to fulfilling our plans and ensuring that Ships At Sea will be a complete and polished experience for all our players.



[h2]GPU-related crashes[/h2]
In order to better understand and resolve these crashes, we kindly ask for your assistance in investigating this matter by selecting Play SAS (with GPU Crash Debug) if you are experiencing frequent crashes on computers that meet or exceed the minimum requirements for running Ships At Sea.



[h2]Sell Inventory[/h2]
Additionally, this patch introduces the option to sell items from your inventory, providing more flexibility.



[h2]Swimming[/h2]
This patch also adds the exciting new ability to swim! Gather three of your friends and make a splash—don't forget to take screenshots of your epic pool party adventures in Ships at Sea. To get out of the water, simply enter your boats or ladders again and continue your maritime journey.

Savegame is still being improved, and more content will be added. Cargo missions are a work in progress and will be added soon. Please note that if you load a saved game as the host, you will need to visit the shipyard first to spawn your boat. This issue will be addressed soon.
