[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

Hello everyone
it's been a while since we delivered anything for Ultimate Fishing Simulator 1 and here we are today! :)

[h2]Taupo Lake[/h2]
So most of you will think it's just "another" DLC but it's not! But first things first - Taupo Lake DLC is out now and you can get it with -a 15% discount for the first 7 days (in bundle probably an even higher discount). Taupo Lake VR DLC will be released a bit later but VR should work on Taupo good (need to be tested).

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2088220/Ultimate_Fishing_Simulator__Taupo_Lake_DLC/

This DLC is a bit different from than previous ones. We implemented new fish species and new 3D models for old fish species (ex. Rainbow trout, Koi Carp).



As we didn't want to mess with the whole game - new models are available SO FAR only at Taupo Lake. Based on the player's (you're) feedback if you will like them we will replace old models on all maps.

On Taupo, there is also a new boat with boosted speed so you should be able to roam faster around the map.

[h2]Fixes/Changes[/h2]
So as we promised today we are dropping a few small updates in the code, some of them are available right now in the whole game, and some only at Taupo as they are experimental and could mess whole game.

So here is the list. Experimental updates only on Taupo.

• First changes in fish roaming around waterbodies (should fix dead spots)[on Taupo fish roaming for the experimental purpose was boosted up even more)
  
• First changes in the amount of fish being spawned (boosted up on Taupo)
  
• Experimental: Changed fish bite logic
  

In terms of fish amount, especially in Taupo - if you will experience FPS droop it may be caused by the high number of fish being spawned, please inform us where you experience this problem.

If you will experience any problems IN BASE GAME - please report them and we will try to fix everything ASAP.

Thank you everyone for your support! And we are already working on some things you have reported for the last two days!
