Fishing
  • Crates - every catch comes out of the water as a plain fish under a broadcast mosaic, then a reel of cards spins past a marker, ticks, slows and stops on what you actually caught

  • Card grades - pale for common, blue for unusual, violet for rare and red for impossible. The gold card is something else entirely

  • Unrecorded species - a fish you have never caught is a dark "?" card on the reel; the ones in your album show their own model

  • Hurry the reel - click while it spins to bring it to a stop sooner

Multiplayer
  • Chat - press Enter to talk. The feed also says who has come in, who has gone home and when anyone lands something rare

  • Scoreboard - hold Tab with company to see who is here, which room they are in and what they have caught this session

  • Company bonus - every other angler makes everyone's catches worth 10% more, with sooner bites, a wider timing band and more rare fish

  • Shared crates - other anglers' catches come up under the mosaic too, until their reel stops

Leaderboards
  • The regulars - global boards for fish caught, album entries and the best single catch, on the title screen and in the pause menu

Multiplayer
  • Doors - a door you haven't paid for tells you how many anglers are already through it; each angler still pays their own admission

Water
  • Waves - larger waves and a quicker drift on every pool, and the float rides them

Fixed

Water
  • Still water - the pools, their caustics and the television's static had stopped moving after an engine update. They move again

Saves
  • Old progress - everyone's progress has been reset once for this update, and every angler starts again in the Municipal baths. Volume, quiet mode and the console output setting carry over
