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

BEFORE


AFTER


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.

Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue that was causing an item description window to not close.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the shipwrecks to not target properly when trying to salvage them. You may now click the shipwrecks easily even when standing on your warboat or raft.


Optimization changes:
  • Optimized some models to speed up rendering.
  • Optimized reflections


Other:
  • An item dropped in the ocean might show loot beams from afar.

Demo Update: Interior Camera, weapon socket enhancers



  • Fixed an issue that was causing obstructed camera view inside small buildings.
  • Nearby shadows are now enhanced to be sharper and have more definition.
  • Weapon socket enhancer window usability has been optimized.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the Drop item window to appear when adding sockets.
  • Building items (such as candles, art etc.) obtained from looting shipwrecks now require build hammer and build menu active to place them.



Demo Update: Building System Updates and hotfixes.

Hotfixes:
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the building item to stay in a destructible state.


  • Build, Destruct and Paint modes now have visual indicators in the fps cam mode.
  • Pressing ESC now properly closes open windows and cancels build mode.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing you to take environment damage when standing between adjoining floors.

  • Hitting a target in the ocean with a cannonball now properly locks the target, and shows its HP.
    (Note that you can always cycle through target locks in the ocean by pressing the TAB key)

  • Attacking a locked target now gives slightly increased accuracy to your "fire cannon" skill.
  • Increased the duration of the Mermaid Speed Buff
    (Note that you can swing by a Mermaid to get increased speed and maneuverability on your boats)

  • Fixed an issue that was causing you to not be able to mount your vehicle when inside the hitbox of the shipwreck.

  • Reinforcement ship hitboxes were increased slightly to allow easier cannonball attacks.

  • Opening up the exchange menu of the trader now properly opens and closes your inventory.

Demo Update: Shark Attack Hotfix, and Targeting optimizations

Hotfix: Fixed an issue that was causing you to sit back down when trying to spear the shark from the boat. Please update your game.



Tired of jumping in the water to attack sharks?? Spear them right from your boat.
Shipwrecks can now be easily salvaged right from your boat using a fishing pole or hook.

Targeting Optimizations: This change only affects the fps/mousecam camera mode.
Increased the targeting range of Tab Target, while riding the boat in mousecam mode. You can now easily see, and cycle through ocean targets using the TAB key.

These changes only affect melee combat
Fixed an issue that was causing your "free attack (V)" to target a monster farther than the attack range of your weapon, leading to targeting conflicts while trying to fight multiple targets at the same time.

Free Attack (V) now properly shows the health bar of the enemy in range.

Auto Attack (Left click) now properly auto follows a target into the optimal range of the equipped weapon, instead of overshooting.

Backstab bonus on the stealth attack has been increased slightly.

Parry buff now heals for a slightly increased amount.
