Dear Anglers,
Last night we urgently released a hot fix patch to address some of the most common issues that occurred after the Maldives Update.
Here is what’s new:
Resolved an issue of players not being able to take out their rod or rod stands on the waterways
Fixed an issue when players didn’t get strikes when trying to complete the tutorial
Fixed an issue of balancing the amount of environmental objects appearing at the location depending on the player’s video settings
Resolved a bug when some words on the buttons appeared in other languages
Fixed an issue with Chamaeleon Cruiser Pack appearing incorrectly in the Store in Polish localization
Fixed an issue when some players couldn’t enter the game
Known Issues
We also received reports about other issues that some of you experienced and we want to keep you in the loop about them:
We know many of you experience freezes when entering the menu or trying to move items in the Inventory. The root cause of the issue was found - and it appears to be quite complex and needs a few technical updates on our side. We already started doing them, but it will still require a few days to complete this process. We are doing everything possible (and some impossible things) to fasten it.
The issue with the black screen when entering photo mode unfortunately returned - and it has another cause than it had before - it’s being actively investigated and we hope it will be fixed within the next few days.
We also know that some players had issues when catching big fish (over 500kg) and on the last 2-3 meters the gaff animation doesn’t get triggered. This is being addressed as well.
Some of you are getting an error when trying to enter the game. We found that it helped some players to update their OS to the latest version and re-install the game. If you are experiencing something similar, please try these steps and if it doesn’t resolve the issue, contact [email protected].
We are also investigating the nature of other crashes or freezes not related to entering the menu and inventory, thanks to everyone who reported the issues and helped our investigation.
If you are experiencing any of the issues listed above, please just wait for the fix that is on its way. No need to report them again, we already have enough information to prepare the fixes.
We also get many-many questions about when the Maldives map will be released on consoles and mobile platforms. Believe us, there is nothing in the world that we want more right now than to release it for all the platforms as soon as possible. But first, we need to stabilize the Steam and Epic Games versions with a few more hotfixes. Once that’s done, we’ll focus on getting the update to all other platforms. Thanks so much for your patience.
Server Reboot
Last, but not least, we want to inform you that tomorrow, June 20 at 5:05 AM UTC there will be a server reboot with an estimated downtime of 10 minutes. This is one of the things we need to do to stabilize the system after the release.
Thank you for your incredible patience, understanding, and all the fast bug reports. We truly hope you’re still enjoying your time in the Maldives — more improvements are on the way!
Tight lines!
