Ultimate Fishing Simulator® News

[h2]Changelog: 2.3.23.01:151[/h2]
[h3]Added[/h3]

• Added: Information panel about fish weight range when choosing hooks and lures;
  
• Added: Option to turn the prompt about hook size on/off (see "Other" section in settings);
  
• Added: The prompt about hook size notifying about the correctly chosen hook (appears after 20 seconds of fishing with float);
  
• Added: Subtle pop-up animation of experience bar when releasing fish;

[h3]Changed[/h3]

• Changed: The prompt about hook size. It now appear after 10 seconds if the hook/lure size doesn't suit the area;
  
• Changed: Taupo Lake - chinook salmon texture;

[h3]Fixed[/h3]

• Fixed: Kariba Dam - Vundu Catfish being replaced by cutthroat trout;
  
• Fixed: Taupo Lake - fish biting hooks and lures that were too small/big for their weight;

[h2]About this update[/h2]
We added a few additional options that should help you play and catch the fish with proper fish sizes. One of them is to show the fish weight range based on hook size. To see the fish weight range - you need to own the lure/hook.



Additionally, we fixed and changed a bit notification system about hook size. Now you can see some additional messages for ex. "Wait a little longer, your hook size is proper!" for float fishing.

You can turn such messages in the Game Settings:


[h2]Few words from us[/h2]
We are preparing the big update for UFS which will update the game engine to the newest Unity 2021 LTS. Things go smoothly but many things are outdated and need to be replaced with new things like water assets.

We are also investigating issues with some VR sets on Taupo Lake. Additionally, we should soon add additional long-requested leader length under the keyboard button, so you can change it without opening your inventory.

2023 just started and we have heads full of ideas. Bow fishing? Spearfishing? Aquariums? The list of ideas and community requests is really looooooooooooooong!

Pancake Games & 3T Labs

[h3]About this update:[/h3]
Today we are releasing another update which includes changes, fixes, and achievements. As a result of the survey, we did a few weeks ago 80,7% of participants said they would like to get new achievements for each new fish species we are adding. So today we are giving you 6 new achievements for 6 new fish species available in Taupo Lake DLC.

Also - 70,2% of participants answered that they are not happy with some achievements including Fish Basket XL, and based on player feedback in the past months we lowered it to 2000 fish caught. Some of you also mentioned that you would like to see a bigger variety of achievements for ex. the biggest fish in each fishery.

Together with new&changed achievements we also updated achievements icons.

Thank you everyone for taking part in the survey and supporting us!

Hello everyone,
today we would like to come up with important news. As the Ultimate Fishing Simulator community grow over the years, the game also did grow up in content but always in the same quality, to not kill performance. But technology didn't sleep and moved forward for the last few years.

We are planning to switch to one of the newest versions of the Unity engine to be able to bring a fresh breath of air to this game.

[h2]But what will happen with players who bought games and have 32-bit systems?[/h2]
You will be still able to play the game but you won't get any more updates or DLCs. The special build will be available for 32-bit users, which will be available to activate under the "BETA" tab in-game settings.

[h2]When?[/h2]
Q1 2023. Probably end of January.

Regards,
Rafal
