Greetings, Puppet Anglers!
This week’s update brings easier Journal completion, a new accessibility setting, and several improvements to matchmaking and save reliability.
📖 Fish Population Changes
Every Dock will now contain at least one of every fish species somewhere in the world.
For all you completionists chasing a full Journal, this means no more hopping between Docks and hoping the fish you need decided to show up. You’ll still have to find and catch ’em... but now you’ll know they’re out there somewhere!
🎥 Camera Shake Setting
You can now disable the camera shake that occurs while fighting a fish.
Head to:
Options → Controls → Camera Shake
Sorry this one took us so long to add. We hope it makes fishing more comfortable for everyone who prefers a steadier view!
🔌 Matchmaking & Connection Improvements
We’ve made several improvements behind the scenes to help make joining games safer and more reliable:
Improved lobby joining and retry flow
More specific connection errors and logging
Safer player-data loading
Additional save protections
We’ve recently seen an increase in connection reports, so please continue sending them our way. The new error messages should help us track down exactly where problems are occurring.
When reporting a connection issue, please include a screenshot of the error code or full message and send it to:
You can also share the report with us in Discord.
Thank y’all for your patience, feedback, and continued support while we keep improving the swamp.
See y’all on the docks!
—Blake, Brett & Mark 🎣
