Fishing Line Snapping Constantly

[solidFOX]

I'm not sure if something is now bugged from the latest update but...

All I do is cast the line into the water, and during the middle of the casting animation (before the floater even hits the water) my line snaps. It snaps 1 of 3 casts.
Everything was fine before the recent patch. Anyone else having this issue? Or did they nerf fishing?

(BTW using Nylon Thick Line).

Never had this issue. Are you fishing in fresh water or salt water? From my experience, ocean fish tend to be harder to catch as opposed to fresh water fish.

I'm fishing at the ocean. But my line snaps before the floater hits the water.

This is I wanna say a KNOWN issue because it happens usually after hot fixes or patches.
The devs usually then hot fix it again.
Ive had this happen to me several times and usually the next patch corrects the issue.

Deathwhisper told me to try logging in and out and that did work one time but usually I just stop fishing till they refix it or I take the time to constantly disassemble and reassemble my fishing rod.

Ok. I'll try again later. I didn't try logging back in. If not, I'll just wait for the next patch.

I wanted to say that when I restarted the game, the issue disappeared. Sucks I use a good portion of my 0.5 Line lol.

It's back. Or maybe "still here"? I don't know. My first thought was "Okay, maybe It's supposed to be difficult fishing next to the fishing trader's hut"... Then it turned to "Hm, maybe I'm not supposed to fish from the bridge leading to the safe zone because it would be silly to let people farm fshing in a safe location?"
My next hypothesis was "I guess it's because I'm fishing from bridges/docks or something?" because I was at a boat house on the lake. Of course I had to test it and went fishing from the rocks nearby. Still every other time I cast I would break my line. My latest theory states that "Maybe because it's cold or something, the line is fragile, blah blah blah..." but I haven't gotten back to the main base in warmer areas and decided to look up the issue on the interwebs. Apparently this is it... It's just a bug... not a feature. Maybe once I get back to warm areas and test this some more I might post an update. Or I might not. Who knows.

[solidFOX]

Yeah, def a bug.

I have found a solution to that, in stead of casting line far, just cast it as close as possible and when fish bites, hold shift and scroll mouse wheel towards you fast, you get fish every time.

Tested the latest theory. The whole "Fishiing in the cold" thing. Tried to do some fishing in the center of the map, small pond in the center of B2. Things went pretty smoothly there, didn't break the line after multiple casts. Could be a random "log out and log back in thing", but the fact of the matter remains - worked fine there. Strange issue. Hope it gets fixed soon. I enjoy the fishing mechanic and rely pretty heavily on fish as protein source.

What was the condition of the rod? If it was damaged below 90% then perhaps try repairing it and see if the problem persists.
