- [p]Added a new item, the Bait Cage. When purchased, you can store bait in this cage, and they will be saved overnight for as long as you keep them in the bait cage or until your game starts to lag too much[/p]
- [p]Added two crucial optimizations that will help with ping and network slowdowns. It will also decrease cpu usage for the host of a lobby so the random drop to 20 fps should be fixed aswell[/p]
- [p]Added custom draw distance and tick profiles for each bait ai to help with performance[/p]
- [p]Remade the endgame cutscene to have logs fly around and some other stuff as well.[/p]
- [p]Cant 100% confirm due to me not being able to replicate this bug in the first place, BUT I am pretty sure that I got the UI bug with the Fishing Strike System solved. It was putting 2 strike systems on the screen at once, pretty weird.[/p]
- [p]Shark attack now kills on JW difficulty only.
[/p]
- [p]Made the crab's pathing a bit smarter so that the crab can now chase/grab players in more complex area,s like on the dock[/p]
- [p]Increased the time the crab will seek players from 11->15 seconds[/p][p]
[/p][p][/p]
- [p]Increased the spawn chance of the stalker creature; however, there is now a 5-day cooldown for it to spawn again
[/p]
- [p]Increased minnow trap ready time from ~5 seconds to ~25 seconds
[/p]
- [p]Fixed a bug where several bait animations would look laggy[/p]
- [p]Fixed a bug where the capybara bait would be floating/flying[/p]
- [p]Fixed a bug where drowning would cause perma death[/p]
- [p]Fixed a bug where some bait would spawn infinitely and cause severe lag[/p]
- [p]Fixed a bug that caused players to respawn invisible (this one was hilarious tho might re-add it for the 2026 Halloween update)[/p]
- [p]Fixed an exploit where players could stack perks and have more than 2 active at a time[/p]
- [p]Fixed an edge case that caused your inventory slot to be a white slot after pressing left click to detach a fish from your line.[/p]
- [p]Fixed a bug where you could spam meow the cat[/p]
- [p]Fixed a bug on the jungle map where the 1% lows would tank to single digits[/p]
