#2 Hotfix 🚤
During the first 48 hours after release, we continued reviewing your reports, watching gameplay, and addressing the issues affecting the experience the most.
Another day, another batch of fixes and improvements! Here is everything included in Hotfix #2:
Boat & Navigation
Made the boat more responsive while steering.
Adjusted the sound effects played when the helm passes through its central position.
Added a tutorial plate explaining how to use the harpoon system.
Fixed the Pull Harpoon tooltip not appearing correctly for clients.
Increased the collision size of harpoon projectiles, making successful hits more consistent.
Fishing & Wildlife
Added a new flocking system for fish and wildlife.
Improved the overall fishing system.
Fixed incorrect fishing rod collision.
Added an additional fish-selling point near the gate.
Visuals & Audio

Fixed incorrect footstep sounds while walking on the boat.
Localization & Interface
Added missing localization for the anchor-drop interaction.
Fixed missing client-side harpoon tooltips.
Added clearer in-game guidance for operating the harpoons.
Performance
Introduced additional CPU optimizations.
Improved the performance of several gameplay systems running in the background.
What Are We Working on Next?
Our next major focus will be the physical behavior of players and objects aboard the moving boat.
We know that physics interactions on the deck can sometimes produce unwanted shaking, movement corrections, or unstable behavior - especially in multiplayer sessions.
There is no single simple solution that works perfectly in every situation, so we will be testing several different approaches over the coming days. Our goal is to find the best balance between stable movement, responsive interactions, multiplayer synchronization, and the chaotic physics that make the game fun.
Some solutions may behave differently depending on latency, player count, and what is happening aboard the boat, so your reports and feedback will continue to be extremely valuable during this process.
