[PlayStation, Xbox] Patch Note 5.03/2.1.0

[Dennis_FP]

 

Dear Anglers,

We have just released a hotfix patch for PlayStation and Xbox, but there are also a few things that we would like to share with players on all the platforms.

Thank you for all your bug reports and feedback on the Ocean Update. We're working diligently to investigate and resolve these issues as quickly as possible. We understand you want to help and send the reports in all possible channels, but we would like to kindly ask you to send them to support@fishingplanet.com, it will help us manage and address your reports faster and more effectively. Thank you!

For mobile players eagerly awaiting the Ocean Update on Android and iOS, we anticipate being able to announce the release date sometime next week. We appreciate your patience - it won’t be much longer now. Stay tuned for the updates!

We also want to address a specific concern raised by our players regarding Collection missions on the Kaiji No Ri location. These missions required players to catch and keep fish, which wasn't possible for big fish on the rental boat. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We have now adjusted these missions on all platforms so that catching the fish is sufficient for completion; keeping the fish is no longer necessary. Please, also note that for the Monster missions it is not mandatory to keep the Monster fish either, you just need to catch it to complete the mission.

Another issue we've addressed is the behavior of large fish and bass boats. Although it's not realistic for a 50 kg fish to drag a 500 kg boat, we understand that players enjoy this feature. We've made adjustments so that big fish will once again drag bass boats. The effect won't be as pronounced as before, but the boats will be dragged by the big fish. This has just been released on consoles and will be soon released on Steam and Epic Games with the next hotfix patch on these platforms.

Here is a list of other issues that have been fixed and improved:

• Fixed an instant reeling bug when moving the boat in reverse while reeling in the fish.
• Fixed loud sounds of water splashes in freshwater locations.
• Fixed a bug where a guest in a Fishing Together session would see the host's cast rod detach from the boat and move away.
• Fixed a game freeze that occurred after catching a fish that resulted in a new level.
• Fixed an issue where the on-screen keyboard appears when sharing a template.
• When closing the registration HUD after registering in a competition it now works correctly. 
• Fixed an issue where a created custom competition wouldn’t close if the player was on a waterway before.
• Fixed an issue where land turned pink on the tablet map and yacht's Fish Finder.
• Fixed an issue where land on the Map or some parts of it turned black on all the waterways.
• Fixed a client blocking issue that occurred if a player took out the tablet right after moving from the captain’s bridge to the back of the boat.
• On consoles, the Ukrainian letter "і" is now correctly displayed in the store.
• Fixed a category selection bug in the store with a controller, when the categories are in two columns.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these issues. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve the game. Thank you for your continued support.

Tight lines, 

The Fishing Planet Team

Should put some lights for night fishing on the boats

The update seems to have F'd up audio and graphics on (at least) Marron River.   Good place for the audio to be F'd up since the Monster Fish mission I'm trying to complete is reliant on a "speaker sinker!"

 

The graphics have frozen twice now in the 2 hours I've been trying to play.  They have glitched out more than that too.

 

This game has been so great!  Why is it becoming so trash now????
