Prisoners!
Some of you had a very profitable night fishing in the radioactive zone. A bug meant processing Radioactive Carp produced excessive amounts of Depleted Uranium, allowing players to earn far more money than intended.
Because of the impact on the in-game economy, we needed to fix this today rather than wait for the next update. We know another download so soon after yesterday’s hotfix is disruptive. Thanks for bearing with us.
This release also includes other fixes for fishing, wildlife, equipment and the chat interface. You’ll find the full list below.
FISHING
Fixed an issue where processing Radioactive Carp yielded excessive amounts of Depleted Uranium.
Fixed an issue where a fishing spot in the radioactive zone remained active at all times.
Fixed an issue where fishing rods were positioned incorrectly when dragged on the ground or from the inventory, causing them to move or drop away from the mouse cursor.
Fixed an issue where catfish could only be caught in lakes instead of also being available in rivers.
KNOWN FISHING ISSUE
We’re aware that pulling a fish ashore while walking backwards can cause the line to break. This remains unresolved, and we’re working on a fix.
For now, avoid walking backwards while bringing your catch ashore.
GAMEPLAY & AUDIO
Fixed an issue where players wearing a headlamp could be visible in the dark even when it was switched off.
Fixed an issue where a nocked arrow could become unusable and remain stuck on the bow after the bow was dropped and picked up again.
Fixed an issue where vehicle engine idle sounds could be heard from too far away.
UI
Adjusted the position and size of the chat and message widgets.
WILDLIFE
Fixed an issue where crickets did not spawn on the Island.
Fixed an issue where birds in a flock could appear stuck together when spawning too close to one another.
Fixed an issue where circling bird flocks spawned at incorrect locations.
CLOTHING
Fixed an issue where Angler Waders were cut off beneath the Bulletproof Vest and clipped through female characters’ bodies.
Fixed an issue where the Master Hunter Mask clipped through other clothing items.
As always, if you encounter anything else that requires our attention, please let us know through one of the following channels:
See you on the Island, prisoners.
