[p][/p][p]Hey Anglers,[/p][p]While we’re busy preparing a major patch full of fixes, we’ve just rolled out a hotfix addressing an issue we wanted to resolve as quickly as possible — the black screen some players encountered when entering Photo Mode. This fix is already live on Steam.[/p][p]We’ve also taken care of a few smaller issues in this update:[/p]

• [p]Fixed a bug that prevented players from catching Ruby Snapper during the Deep Bottom Hunt: Oyster Meat mission.[/p]
• [p]Fixed the Billfish Trophies mission, as it incorrectly said "catch and take," when in fact you only need to catch the fish to complete the mission.[/p]

• [p]Corrected the Havaru Spoons displaying 3 items, while there was actually only one.[/p]

[p]We're still working on the issue where large fish can't be brought onto the boat in the final 2–3 meters. This will be addressed in the upcoming patch, along with the list of other issues that will be fixed soon.[/p][p]Additionally, we’re working on bringing the new Maldives map to more platforms and will share the release date as soon as it’s ready.[/p][p]Thank you for your continued support and patience — tight lines and happy fishing![/p][p][/p][p]_______________________________________________________________[/p][p]Follow us on social media to stay tuned and be in touch with our lovely community:[/p][p]Discord[/p][p]Facebook Group [/p]

[p][/p][p]Hey Anglers,[/p][p]As you may know, we've rolled out a series of hotfixes over the past few days. While we didn’t post an announcement for each one, here’s a quick summary on the fixes of the last two days:[/p]

1. [p]Resolved multiple crash and freeze issues — and we’re happy to hear from many of you that the fixes are working![/p]
2. [p]Fixed an issue where Saltwater Poppers incorrectly had durability — they now behave like all other lures and no longer wear out.[/p]
3. [p]Corrected a rendering issue with ocean dynamic water in high quality on macOS.[/p]
4. [p]We're still working on the black screen issue in Photo Mode and the one where large fish can get stuck during the final few meters of reeling. We’ve made good progress and expect to have those resolved soon.[/p]

[p][/p][p]We truly appreciate your patience and support during this time. Now that the system has stabilized, we want to offer a token of thanks to our amazing community with the following compensations:
[/p]

1. [p]Players who purchased Chamaeleon Cruiser Pack or Atoll Scout Pack in the period from the release on June 18th until the crashes were fixed on June 24, will receive additional 7 days of pond pass to Noomaa Kuda Atholhu, Maldives, Advanced License and Premium.[/p]
2. [p]Players, who had any other packs with Premium or Premium account itself during this period, will receive additional 3 days of Premium. They will be added automatically when you log in from Friday, June 27 at 00:00 AM UTC until Monday, June 30 at 00:00 AM UTC.[/p]
3. [p]All the other players, including those from the second group will receive 24 hours of pond pass to Noomaa Kuda Atholhu, Maldives, Advanced License and 44 000 credits for their trip to the location, - available to claim by logging in between Friday, June 27 at 00:00 AM UTC and Monday, June 30 at 00:00 AM UTC.[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][p]Hey Anglers, [/p][p][/p][p]We’ve released a new Hotfix Patch to address crashes and freezes some of you experienced after the Maldives Update. More fixes are on the way in the coming days, but here’s what’s included in this patch: [/p]

1. [p]Fixed a temporary freeze on the loading screen when an “app not responding” error appeared,[/p]
2. [p]Resolved an issue where the game would become unresponsive when switching categories in the Menu or Inventory,[/p]
3. [p]Fixed a crash/freeze when Global Chat was open while on a waterway,[/p]
4. [p]Additional improvements to overall game stability and performance,[/p]

[p]We hope this patch helps improve your gameplay experience. Please try playing and let us know if these fixes work for you—we really look forward to your feedback. We're also actively investigating a critical issue with black screens appearing when entering Photo Mode. [/p][p]If this happens to you, here’s how you can help: [/p]

1. [p]After the issue occurs, close the game.,[/p]
2. [p]Go to the Fishing Planet folder that can be found here: log%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Fishing Planet LLC\\FishingPlanet and find the two Player log files.[/p]
3. [p]Send both files to [email protected] with a short note mentioning it was the black screen bug and the fish you had just caught before it happened.,[/p][p][/p]

[p]Thank you all for your continued support and patience. [/p][p]Tight Lines![/p][p][/p][p]_______________________________________________________________ [/p][p]Follow us on social media to stay tuned and be in touch with our lovely community: [/p][p]Discord [/p][p]Facebook Group[/p]

[p][/p][p]Hey Anglers,[/p][p]Here’s a quick update on the post-release fixes.[/p][p]We’re aware of some crash and freezing issues and are actively working on fixes. A new update is rolling out at this very moment to improve game stability. To avoid interruptions in your game play, we’re updating servers one by one, as many players are online. A few more updates will follow in the coming days, and we’ll keep you posted.[/p][p]While it might seem like everyone is reporting issues, our data shows that most players are playing smoothly. Still, every affected player matters to us. The crashes vary in cause, and limited diagnostic info from users makes it harder to resolve quickly—but we’re on it.[/p][p]We’re also considering compensation options for those who made in-game purchases during this period. First, we want to make sure the game is fully stable—then we’ll take care of compensation. Rest assured that your experience and satisfaction are our top priority. We’ll share details about compensation after the fixes are in place.[/p][p]Regarding another reported issue—reeling in big fish (500+ kg) on the new map—some of you noticed that they get stuck in the last few meters. Our investigation showed that this isn’t a bug but a physics-based interaction. To land the fish, use a wider pull & reel motion, lifting the rod higher—just like you would in real life when pulling a very big fish onto the boat. That triggers the gaff animation and gets the fish onboard.[/p][p]Thanks again for your patience and support. We’re working hard to make sure you can enjoy the game without disruptions—and we truly appreciate the trust you place in us. [/p][p]Tight lines![/p][p][/p]
