2.0 Patch Notes

Fish Variations

This feature came in last week's patch, but we want to spread the word! Every single catch you get on Golden Ridge Reserve or Kamuibetsu National Park will be completely unique. It's actually unlikely for you to find any two fish that look the same. There are a few fish that have this feature on other reserves, but you'll definitely see them if you catch a Golden Ridge or Japanese fish.

Gameplay
• On keyboard, you can now press SPACE or ENTER to release a fish on the catch screen.

Audio
• The strike sound can now be heard again.

Visuals
• The fish variations on Golden Ridge Reserve have been polished a bit.
• The fish have been SHAVED?! Issues with Motion Blur and Alti-Aliasing no longer make your fish appear fuzzy in the reward pose and handbook.
• Fixed an issue where the water and terrain would disappear in some instances after releasing fish and opening the quick menu.

Stability
• Fixed a crash that would happen in certain instances when using the quick menu.
• Various other crash and stability fixes.

UI
• Fixed some translation issues.
