GAME UPDATE - JUL.27.2022
Hi there Anglers,
We have just released a game update for all platforms*. There are over 80
changes, fixes, and improvements in this update several of which focus on
overall game performance, environmental changes across all venues to reduce the
effect of “LOD popping” (this means you shouldn’t see buildings/foliage etc
popping in and out as much and this makes the overall experience smoother). Plus
based on your feedback we have made some gameplay balancing changes.
Let's get into it!
