-When slack is reeled in all the way, the hook set is off and mostly poor, no matter the direction of the rod or hook set. -when fighting fish for to long, the fish seems to go ballistic and shoots off into the distance with no way of doing anything..just simply runs off and breaks the line, even when adjusting the drag and tension as well as slack. some scenarios are just auto loss. -takes a long time to get the fish into the boat when the"net" icon has popped up and the fish is right beside the boat for a good 5-7secs. -Hand animation doesn't match with reeling speed when reeling in with the rod. -Can't fish past 80- 150ft even though fish are seen at that depth.
I've been fishing for over 40 years and some of those years doing tournament bass fishing. I know the ins and outs of baits, line test, rods and reels and reel speeds etc. I've lost more fish in an hour in this game then I have in over 40 years of live fishing, what gives? Is there a bug on landing fish? I've played other fishing sims and never had the attrition then I do in this sim.. PC version. I will say this about this sim, after returning with more time on the lake, rod angle is crucial for landing fish, as it is in real life... Much easier to tip a real rod then a mouse.... lol. My arthritis is taking a hit here...
it unplayable to me when i go to pick fishing spot i get unreal engine extieing due to hang so not the game is unplayable
It would be worth sending in a support ticket ensuring to supply a DxDiag so we have an understanding of your PC as it sounds like a possible hardware limitation issue. I would suggest updating your drivers and ensuring you meet the games minimum requirements before doing so, however. https://dovetailgames.kayako.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/176/0/how-to-create-a-dxdiag-report
