Hey Anglers,
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for our team, and we want to thank all of you for patiently waiting for the next Bug Fix Patch.
In this update, we’ve tackled a number of issues reported by players and spotted by our QA team, and one of the most important issues where massive fish (500+ kg) would get stuck in the final few meters and couldn’t be landed for a while. This should now be resolved!
We also heard your feedback about the challenge of landing the largest fish in the game, like Unique Black Marlin and Unique Swordfish over 500 kg, taking too long to bring in. To understand this better, we analyzed all catches of these giants within the last month, looking at the time from hook to landing.
Here’s what we found:
Around 50% of these catches take players 13–14 minutes on average.
The majority (50–99%) take 15–25 minutes on average.
Only about 1% of catches go up to 50 minutes on average and sometimes even longer — rare cases, but they do happen.
If you find yourself struggling to land these giants within 15–25 minutes, consider working on your technique, seeking tips from experienced anglers, and making sure you’re using the best gear available. Please, also keep in mind that at the highest levels, even more powerful rods and reels become available to help you bring in these beasts faster. It’s very important , these are ocean monsters — some up to 600 kg, there must be that true big game fishing challenge!
Now, let’s dive into the rest of the fixes and improvements included in this patch:
Fixed a bug where exiting the settings triggered an “unsaved changes” message, and the ESC button became unresponsive.
Sunglasses once again reduce sun brightness as intended.
