We have just released a new bug fix patch, now available on Steam. We are currently working on releasing the same patch for the Epic Games Store, and it should be available within the next few hours. Please, make sure to check for the latest version and download the update to get these changes in the game as this release will not get downloaded automatically.
This update primarily focuses on optimizing and enhancing the performance of the Dnipro River Map, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable experience for all players. Additionally, we’ve addressed a variety of bugs and issues to further improve gameplay. Here’s what’s been fixed:
Competitions:
Resolved an issue where the competition end signal played on the loading screen after a competition had ended.
Tooltip "A Search" no longer gets stuck after changing tabs when the cursor is in the search field in competitions.
New Fish "European Weatherfish" is now correctly scored in the "Catch 'Em All" competition.

Fixed the button for opening the "My Sports Events" list when multiple events are present on the list.
Fixed an Issue when Players couldn’t change the Entry Fee amount for Custom Competitions.
Gameplay & Visuals:
Fixed an issue where the rod could be cast into the rock mountain on the Selenge River.
Resolved a fog issue when the flashlight was turned on at night.
Corrected the fins animation in photomode and third person view when the fish is hanging on lip grip or hook.
Fixed a visual defect at the connection between the leader and the main fishing line while holding a fish caught by trolling.
Fixed endless spool unwinding when casting beyond terrain boundaries.
Resolved issues with Warmouth and Bluegill fish having fins raised too high.

Known Issues: We are aware of an issue with setup templates, where grey squares appear in place of missing items. Rest assured, we are actively working on a fix and will resolve this as soon as possible. In the meantime, these squares typically disappear after some interaction with the Templates list. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
This update will soon be available on consoles, and we are actively working on resolving the remaining issues to bring the new Dnipro River map to mobile platforms. It will still take at least several weeks before we will be able to release it.
Thank you for your patience, valuable feedback and support as we continue to refine and enhance Fishing Planet!
Tight lines and happy fishing!
