[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hello everyone! Got an update that addresses some of the recent bugs and qol features people have been asking for[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Made so bait go mute when they are placed into the baitcage[/p]

• [p]Fixed a bug where picking up two fish of the same species could cause the second fish picked up to obtain the value of the first fish or be reset back to the default point value. There is still an edge case I am working on fixing but it is proving to be very difficult. This edge case happens when a player rapidly pick up and drops fish (like super spams)[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug where if a player played a hardcore enabled save (or new game) then left and played a hardcore disabled save (not a new game), the save file would be deleted when it was not supposed to be

[h3]Hello everyone! This patch adds a new item, fixes a few bugs, and adds much needed optimzation to the game. If you run into any issues or notice anything weird, please let me know so I can get it fixed asap for you, thanks!!![/h3][p][/p][p][/p]

[p][/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]Remade the endgame cutscene to have logs fly around and some other stuff as well.[/p]

• [p]Fixed a bug where drowning would cause perma death[/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]
