Automatic reel speed max

[Bubba & Friends]

Is there any setting that automatically sets your reel speed to max once you hook a fish, Instead of having to hold shift everytime you hook a fish?

[Davser]

Nope, you need to actually do something to reel the fish in ;)

You can rebind the keys or use alternative keybindings. Personally, i have alternative keybindings so that i can play more or less with only 1 hand on the numeric keypad. Here is an example of my bindings:

4, 5, 6: Take rod 1, 2, 3
1, 2, 3: shift, reel in, lift rod
0 . ent: take fish, recast, put down rod

(not in game atm, so the bindings are from memory)

i have carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis, and having to mash keys for long periods of time aggravates it.
if auto fast reel on strike, or the ability to set fast reeling to a toggle, rather than holding the key can't be implemented, i may not be able to play for much longer.

I have the same problem, I play with the controller, problem solved :)

have surgery if it's at this stage... there is also finger gymnastics that can relieve you, but it doesn't heal anything, it's just to relieve you, I ended up having surgery;)

"HOLD DOWN LEFT SHIFT kEY" Is the auto Max reel speed.

Yeah sorry mate, i was asking if there was an alternative to this, or a toggle on/off key.

in the US we don't have universal health care, and retired people on fixed income can't just "have surgery" on a whim. ;)

i don't understand how a simple toggle option would ruin the game for anyone.

it's sad to read this, i know how much, it's debilitating and painful to suffer from what you have i had stopped playing a lot of games because of this FPS problem, atom fishing, because the pain was simply no longer bearable.
Have you tried finger gymnastics? this will relieve you a lot, but does not cure the problem, unfortunately,

try this, sorry for the language

It sounds to me that holding any buttons down for prolonged time is an issue for you. Honestly, i'd say you may want to switch fishing style in game, and focus on f ex stick rod fishing rather than conventional reel fishing. Doing this, you should never have to hold a button for long, and as there is no reel, there is no speed switching either :)

another solution use a joystick and configure the keys with a program like joytokey, you can set the keys in on/off mode

why all of this workaround third party crap over a simple toggle?

many games have toggle options on many different functions, so i see no reason it couldn't be done in this game.

if people don't want toggle, they could just leave the box unchecked.
