FEATURES & QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS
Upgrades to Float Behaviour - Goodbye stationary floats! Floats and lures are going with the flow now, literally!
Dev Team’s Note: The currents in our rivers and lakes play an even bigger role in fishing now. From the movement of your floats and lures to your casting location choice, you'll need to keep an eye on the water. So, get ready to embrace the flow!
Customisation UI Overhaul - Say farewell to boring text lists. Welcome to a whole new way to check out your gear! We're bringing in a more visual, icon-based customization menu for you to browse better.
Dev Team’s Note: Our ever-growing collection of avatar cosmetics needed a new home, and that's exactly what this new tile-based menu is. Now, all your goodies are displayed in full view, making switching styles as easy as a click, without the endless scrolling!
4x4 Storage Upgrade - From now on, your road vehicles double as your traveling inventory. No more detours to the shop, switch up your gear right from your 4x4!
Dev Team’s Note: We’ve heard your feedback and understood that back-and-forth trips to the shop were quite a hassle. So now, whether you want to access storage or swap reserves just head to your trusty 4x4.
Fast Travel to 4x4 - Navigating the reserves has just become a breeze! With this update, you can fast travel right to your spawned 4x4 within a reserve at your whim.
Dev Team’s Note: Have you wandered off too far from your car in pursuit of a collectible or a nice view but don’t fancy a walk back? Just select your 4x4 from your map screen, and whoosh, problem solved!
Content Browser Addition - Now, straight from the main menu, you can effortlessly browse through the game's selection of downloadable content!
Dev Team’s Note: As we keep adding more exciting content to the game, we want to ensure that discovering and accessing it all is as simple as can be. Enjoy browsing!
PATCH NOTES
GAMEPLAY
We’ve fixed an issue where the bail arm would automatically close during the usage of a lure or jighead spinning rig, blocking the player's bait from sinking.
Fish will no longer spin erratically on the line when reaching the Secure Catch stage.
We’ve addressed an issue with incorrectly placed boats when docking at specific jetties in Norway.
VISUAL
Swapping between the spinner rod and float rod will no longer cause the rods to clip through the player’s hands.
We’ve fixed an issue where boats could sometimes be found floating above terrain on the Spain Reserve.
The peaks of waves caused by small waterfalls are now correctly moving on the water's surface.
UI
Players can now mouse click through the intro video to skip it instead of pressing Enter.

We’ve fixed an issue where the audio from a remote player's boat continues for the local player, even after the remote player has exited their boat or left the reserve.
