Ghost Ship Encounter
Ghost ships can be found roaming in lightning storms or tempests near maelstroms. Defeating them can provide items of great benefits. Ghost ships deal extensive 'Bio Damage' so bring the right ship that can handle storms well and is resistant to Bio Damage type.

Introducing Ship Fittings
Fit your ship with Bulkhead Upgrades of various tier levels. Each ship in the game has special Tier benefits. For example, interceptor class ships (such as Naval Cutter) are resistant to Bio Damage
Cruiser class ships (such as Soul Queen) are resistant to Frost Damage and so forth. Check the blueprints of your ship for more details.

Installing a bulkhead in your ship will boost its tier level and make the ship even more resistant to its specialized damage type. For instance, installing a bulkhead in a Naval Cutter will make it more resilient to lightning storm damage and ghost ships. Making it an ideal ship to take to these encounters.

Enjoy a swim in the glistening moonlit waters, or splash around in the warm blue, rippling soft, ocean waters of the Tropical Bermuda triangle. New caustics and lightening should make your tropical waters a bit more inviting.



We have done some fps optimization so you can enjoy 60+ fps on ultra mode. Ultra mode brings out more definition, and vibrant colors of the terrain under the backdrop of the beautiful blue tropical waters. If you are unable to run ultra mode, or experience some stuttering, you can try the high texture quality mode as well.



Optimized the lighting for the day night cycle to perform better during foggy mornings or hurricane.

In line with our plan, we have made graphic improvements, added facelifts and zings to your tropical experience! Take a moment away from your treasure hunting and sit by your campfire and enjoy the breathtaking sunsets and sunrises.

Some flowers and bushes may have grown at the island that may cause some of you to relocate! We apologize for any inconvenience.





Due to the graphic changes, if some of you experience some stuttering or stickyness, please go into settings menu in the game and change your graphics texture quality settings to "high" or lower.

In most cases, the texture quality setting of "High" will work very well.

Please be advised that we are still testing several things and any changes aren't final just yet.

• Fixed an issue that was causing an item description window to not close.

Optimization changes:

• Optimized reflections
