Hey Anglers,

We have just rolled out a Bug Fix Patch that brings a range of fixes, quality-of-life improvements, performance optimization, and usability enhancements designed to make your experience smoother and more enjoyable.

We've addressed several highly prioritized issues affecting gameplay and visuals. These fixes include restoring missing bell sounds on rod stands, improving the appearance of Marker Buoys, and resolving an issue that prevented some players from placing their Frankenfish Mount in the Trophy Room.

In addition, we've Improved Audio Controls by introducing a dedicated Sound Effects volume slider, and renamed the Sound Volume to Master Volume, that now controls the overall game audio. 

We've also improved the Shop experience by renaming the Rods button to Setups, making it easier to check tackle compatibility before making a purchase.

Hey Anglers,

We wanted to share a quick update regarding the recent Back to Basics Update on Steam and Epic Games.

First of all, thank you for all the excitement and feedback! It’s been great seeing so many players return to explore the refreshed Lone Star Lake, check out the new Trophy Room, enjoy the update gifts, and experience all the other improvements.

As with any major update, a few issues have popped up, and here’s where things stand:

• The Feeder and Spinning setup issues in Adventure Missions have been fixed. If you were previously unable to complete these missions, please try again.

• Reports about missing Bell sounds, overly loud audio effects, and invisible Marker Buoys are being treated as a high priority and are planned to be fixed in the very next patch.

• Regarding Marker Buoys on Ghent-Terneuzen Canal: due to a miscommunication, the Release Note incorrectly stated that markers would only be removed from Lone Star Lake and Lesni Vila Fisheries. The Canal was also reworked, and its old marker placements were no longer relevant. We apologize for the confusion. All removed buoys have been returned to inventories, and Baitcoins spent on buoy paint have been compensated.

• We're also working on fixes for the Frankenfish Mount not being placeable for some players in the Trophy Room.

•  Last but not least, some players have experienced FPS drops at Lone Star Lake. Our team is additionally optimizing the location and investigating these performance issues to improve the experience for everyone.

Several other reported issues are currently being addressed, and a patch is already in preparation. We’re also continuing work on bringing the update to all other platforms, so stay tuned!

If you encounter any issues, please contact https://support@fishingplanet.com, we are here to help! We truly appreciate all your feedback, bug reports, and continued support.

Thank you, and tight lines!
