[Fishing Planet]

Hey Anglers,

Here is some important news for our Windows and Linux users!

In a few weeks, Fishing Planet will stop supporting 32-bit builds on Windows. Rest assured, your game data and progress will remain intact, allowing you to seamlessly transition to a 64-bit system without any loss. Simply ensure to update the game to the latest version to continue playing without interruption.

For our Linux players – you'll need to install Proton on your Linux system to continue playing Fishing Planet after this update.  The same as Windows users, you don’t have to worry about your progress and in-game data, - it all will be preserved and accessible after installing Proton.

Here is a step-by-step guide on what exactly you will need to do to continue to play Fishing Planet on Linux:

Steep 1:  Install or Open  Steam

Open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T Keys and add the multiverse repository by running the following commands:
