Ahoy, sailors!
A next wave of fixes and improvements to enhance your maritime experience. Please see below for a detailed look at what's included in this patch.
Date and Time Format
We have added the option to customize your date and time formats. You can now choose between ISO (international standard), USA, and EU date formats. Additionally, you are able to switch between 24-hour and 12-hour time formats according to your preference.
Changelog
- Added additional collision geometry beneath the net hauler sorting table to prevent fish from passing through the table surface
- Added options to choose the date and time format in the settings menu. Date and Time are no longer formatted in the local timezone.
- Adjusted the number of traps on fish during net hauling
- Adjusted the spawn location when entering Tier 2 Cargo Boat, to avoid getting stuck when fully loaded
- Despawned physical fish from the fish box after completing net fishing while retaining them in the boat inventory for selling.
- Fixed a bug where the timers for bank loans, fines, and insurance were not being restored correctly from savegames.
- Fixed a potential crash with the sonar
- Fixed crash when updating fish habitat or map marker
- Fixed crashes related to fines
- Fixed GPU crashing when scrolling through ship upgrades
- Fixed potential crash when returning with a boat full of fish
- Fixed emissive materials for the boats Røster and Conquest
- Improved calendar and time management systems
- Improved fish attachment to the fishing net, resulting in smoother behavior of large fish when pulled through the net hauler
- Improved net hauling visuals by representing all caught fish of the same species with a single physical fish, which means losing that fish results in losing the entire catch of that species.
- Improved wave buffer management and water simulation stability to reduce visual artifacts, ghost waves, and streaking during rapid camera movements
- Implemented the concept of ageing fishing nets. As time passes, the nets should be able to catch more fish.
- Increased emissive output of the net untangle marker material (spikes) to enhance visibility at night
- Only consider fish sizes when hauling the fishing net that actually occurs in the catch from the habitat
- Prevented weather extrapolation during overrides to fix issues with extreme waves and sudden weather changes around storms. Shore waves are now fixed in size and no longer tied to the Beaufort scale to eliminate unnatural fast-moving waves
- Restricted which fish species can be caught using longlining and net fishing
- We have improved a few of the port areas and expanded accessible regions for players to explore on foot
We hope that this update enhances your gaming experience. We will continue our work and aim to resolve the issues between the client and the host soon, especially related to net fishing mechanic.
We wish everyone a great start to the new week!
