Prisoners!
Following October’s Update, today’s hotfix addresses several issues you’ve encountered on the Island, including a fix for performance hitches caused by field-of-view changes when aiming down sights.
The Specialist Angler Waders were incorrectly assigned the green version instead of the yellow version shown in the pack images. We’ve swapped them so the pack now includes the yellow waders, while the green version is available to all players. Sorry for the mix-up.
You’ll find the full list of fixes below.
PERFORMANCE & GAMEPLAY
Fixed an issue where changing the field of view, including when aiming down sights, could cause noticeable performance hitches and frame rate drops.
Fixed an issue where the Hands slot could disappear from the cooking interface, making heatless recipes unavailable until the player logged back in.
Fixed an issue where Abandoned Bunker timers and the number of active bunkers could be restored incorrectly after a server restart.
Fixed an issue where unfinished base building blueprints could interrupt jumps and cause players to fall.
Fixed an issue where entering an aeroplane in single-player automatically applied the handbrake, preventing movement or take-off until it was manually released.
Fixed an issue where players could gain Survival skill XP in Safe Zones when “Allow Skill Gain in Safe Zones” was disabled.
Fixed an issue where multiple flocks of birds would spawn and fly towards the same bird point of interest.
Fixed an issue where the weed dying animation did not consistently play when using herbicide in multiplayer.
FISHING
Fixed an exploit that allowed players to bypass much of the fishing minigame and catch fish faster than intended.
Fixed an issue where fishing reels could fail to register mouse wheel input at higher frame rates.
Fixed an issue where players could attach fishing accessories to a rod without a reel, leaving them unable to fish.
Fixed an issue where fishing lines could be cast through buildings.
Fixed an issue where the casting prompt displayed the default left mouse button binding instead of the player’s custom binding.
Fixed an issue where the Corn Fish Bait recipe produced the same amount of bait regardless of the remaining uses of Canned Corn.
Corrected the descriptions of Fishing Lines and Fishing Line Pieces following the fishing rework.
Fixed an issue where Specialist Angler Pack fishing lines had different tolerance values from their standard counterparts.
Fixed an issue where Specialist Angler Pack fishing attachments appeared in trader searches for players who did not own the pack.
Fixed an issue where the fishing line was misaligned when attached to the Specialist Angler Fishing Reel.
Fixed an issue where the player’s hand clipped through the Specialist Angler Rod and Reel, including while casting.
KNOWN FISHING ISSUE
We’re aware that pulling a fish ashore while walking backwards can cause the line to break. This remains unresolved, and we’re working on a fix.
For now, avoid walking backwards while bringing your catch ashore.
CLOTHING
Corrected the Angler Waders item allocation: the yellow version is now part of the Specialist Angler Pack, while the green version is available to all players.
Fixed an issue where Specialist Angler Waders and Boots clipped through other clothing items.
Fixed an issue where the Apex Predator Jacket clipped through the Bulletproof Vest and Armor Tactical Vest.
Fixed an issue where wearing any colour variant of the SCUM Event Shirt deformed male characters’ arms.
INTERFACE
Fixed an issue where the mouse cursor remained in text input mode after closing the “Set Name” interaction, instead of returning to the centre of the screen for camera control.
Fixed an issue where voice chat displayed the player’s Steam name instead of their in-game name.
Fixed an issue where changing a squad’s name caused its emblem to disappear from the squad list.
Fixed an issue where changes to a squad’s name, emblem, information or message took too long to appear in the squad list.
Fixed an issue where the Fish Face emote showed the wrong DLC in the emote wheel.
