The Pale Reach

Hey anglers!

Your continued support and enthusiasm have been instrumental in making this DLC possible.

We hope you enjoy it.

Features

  • Owners of “The Pale Reach” DLC will find a new area – and all the features and content it contains.
    • Players can check their map to see how to get to this new area.
  • Added a “Control Icon Style” setting to the Display tab. This can be used to force the game to use Xbox/PlayStation/Nintendo Switch button icons, instead of attempting to detect what’s plugged in. (PC Only)
  • Added a “Heartbeat SFX” setting to the Accessibility tab. This can be disabled to silence in-game SFX that feature a heartbeat. (These SFX are mostly in The Pale Reach)
  • Added Razer Chroma integration for a number of in-game effects.

Adjustments

  • The “Quests” and “Messages” screens now have multiple tabs.
  • Increased the size of the Message Detail window, and the text size.
  • Added an “Additional Content” button to the main menu.
  • Slightly rearranged the Encyclopedia layout to show an icon representing the area that a species is found in.
  • Equipment that provides an aberration bonus will now provide it all the time (previously, damaged equipment would not add its bonus to the total).
  • V-sync is now enabled by default for new players.
  • Added and updated some names in the Credits.

Fixes

  • The game should no longer silently overwrite a corrupt save when loading from the main menu. It will now show an error message directing players to customer support for recovery assistance.
  • Fixed an issue introduced in 1.3.0 that caused crashes when reading some messages in some languages.
  • Fixed an issue where save files could grow too large, causing crashes on Nintendo Switch.
  • Fixed an issue where the dock at Ingfell would disappear if you looked at it from the wrong angle.
  • Fixed an issue where the previous line of dialogue would show for a frame as the new line was loading in, making it look and feel as though you’d accidentally skipped over a line. This issue was more prevalent in Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages.
  • Fixed an issue where restoring settings back to default would cause the game to forget which save to use for the ‘Continue’ button.
  • Fixed an issue where the in-game time would slow or sometimes stop progressing completely for some players. This usually occurred on long-running saves of over 150 days of in-game progress.
  • Fixed an issue where some Red Snapper, Barreleye and Ghost Shark fishing spots were not repopulating correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where a couple of the wildlife encounters could very occasionally breach through islands.
  • Fixed an issue with a collision box on one of the islands in Stellar Basin.
