Now confirmed on the Fishing Sim World Forum this game is dead & it's problems will never be fixed. DTG_Stephen "Euro Fishing will still be available in stores but will no longer be updated and will not be receiving any more DLC venues"
Kind of sickening really, luckily for me I bought Euro Fishing at a reduced price in a sale on Steam so don't feel to bad about, but wont be buying Fishing Sim World anytime soon. To be honest Euro Fishing always felt like it was a get to grips with Unreal 4 engine project for DTG that they decided to sell to recoup some money.
