Dear Anglers,
Yesterday marked a historic day for Fishing Planet with the release of the Ocean Update, and we're thrilled to see your excitement! We've received tons of feedback from you, and while many of you are loving the new ocean features, we know there are a few things you didn't like as much. Your feedback is incredibly important to us, so we wanted to address some of the most talked-about issues before we share the list of bug fixes and improvements.
We've heard your concerns about the Denuvo Anti-Cheat software. We want to assure you that Denuvo is designed to prioritize user privacy, collecting only the necessary data to prevent cheating. In the first 24 hours, we identified and dealt with many cheating players, helping to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Some of you have mentioned that reels wear out quickly when using max drag. We understand this makes the gameplay more challenging, but max drag wasn't intended to be used the way it has been. This change is meant to make the game feel more realistic. To keep your reels in good shape, try to avoid using max drag continuously.
Last but not least, regarding the time-forward cooldown during nighttime: we initially enabled it because many fish species are active at night. However, after hearing your feedback, we’ve decided to revert this change. There will no longer be a nighttime cooldown, so you can enjoy uninterrupted gameplay.
Here is the list of other bug fixes and improvements:
- Corrected boat antenna rotation in Fish Radar.
