HedrusPrime Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Bait,dye etc are not working for me either. Fish are literally impossible to see at night. Why hasn't this been fixed or talked about? Super frustrating since I need fish to progress. And I am not on a low end PC. I have max settings for everything.

Leeta_Usul Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Yeah fishing seems broken to me also. Before the Rain update fishing was fun and interesting, now it's just staring at an empty pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedrusPrime Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I did some testing. First if the dye you throw is too close to the shoreline it wont work. It needs to be thrown into the water farther out than it used to. Also, I turned off almost all the graphics settings and relaunced the game. It worked! So I guess on low end systems fishing is fine. It's still super buggy and wont work for me with all the graphics settings turned on. I would really rather it just work the way it was before the update. Man that update..... Ugh..

Guru-Tata Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Similar bug since update to fishing: Luminos Dye is sporadically working or not working at all. I've also noticed you basically have to be in the water to get the fish cycle to start. Moving can change/ restart it - but you have to move. Fish spawn 'over there' and not in front of the tenno.

Guru-Tata Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 same. Luminos Dye sporadically working. It seems to work most often in the lake in front of cetus. But never around where you throw the buoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawksbri Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) I just got a 30-day booster and it's USELESS now because I can't do my fishing with the luminous dye properly. DE really needs to fix this bug or else I'm gonna have to ask them to refund the 30-day booster... I've also noticed that sometimes even BAIT refuses to work... I've wasted a LOT of bait and a lot of luminous dye over the last few days... and this is getting ridiculous. Just an example here's my latest screenshot of the Fishing system that's bugged out and broken.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1235212536 If you can see in the picture, there ARE fish there, just not Murkray, nor are any of the fish there lit up as the Luminous Dye SHOULD show them as. If you also can't see anything, you also can't tell if there are any of the rare fish there... but this... if Goopola, Maws and Charc fish are the only ones you can VISIBLY see correctly, how are you to fish?

xXHobbitXx Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 fishing has been broken for quite a while and DE seem to not care as they dont comment on it, no hotfix for it and no comments on devstreams or prime time about dyes and baits not working correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh.. i was with a friend who was playing on a low end system and his dye was working fine, so i thought maybe its just a graphical bug. lowered graphics and nothing, tho ididnt reload the game.. ill try that next time. tho if it comes down to no dye or low graphics.. guess im not fishing with dye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerioth Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 On 12/13/2017 at 11:43 AM, TheEdIsNotAmused said: And Its not just impacting fishing. I was running bounties at night and the lighting would randomly go SUPER dark, to the point where it makes navigation difficult. Playing with lighting/graphics settings has not helped. Basically, plains at night are semi-broken right now. Avoid. That could be due to the new weather patterns they have implemented. If it's cloudy, or cloudy and raining, that would impact your ability to see. But as they outlined in the patch notes it also makes you harder to be seen. i suppose it is kind of like real life. When it's raining and cloudy at night it becomes harder to see. Perhaps they were trying to mimic that affect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apsithj Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Yea I've noticed that Dye hasn't worked well for me if I use some and then swap to my Pistol or something to chase something off, and then come back to fish again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfherz Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Same issue: First dye works, none of the following work. Won't fish until they fix this issue, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexustair Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Same Here. Dyes work Sporadically, and bait does not seem to work at all like it used to, if at all. I have thrown, as of now, multiple glappid baits (Approx 6) in the same general area off the left side coast (When facing the gates to Cetus) and caught 1 glappid. I wasted about 9 luminous dyes, 6 murkray baits ... (Which showed up for my friend???) and 3 twilight baits. Can we please make the Group share bait thing a separate blueprint or something? I miss being able to fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Renoa- Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Another fishing bug: I'm not sure if its due to the presence of invisible rocks, but sometimes the fishing spear doesn't catch the fish. Correct spear, + Volt. Happened even when point blank, so it might not be due to the throwing falloff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspberry Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 If anyone's struggling, my best advice to you guys is to fish with Equinox with decent range, max efficiency, and max Flow. Use her 4 (day or night, doesn't matter), and you'll be able to see the fish better. Not as effective as bug-less dye, but it's far better than this mess.

I've been trying it, but I haven't been able to see the fish. Granted I'm on low settings all around, but still... It wasn't as bad when fishing for Mortus Lungfish, as their pale bodies show up well against the night sky's reflection, but that's about it. I can't fish at night anymore because I can't see where the fish are. Dye doesn't highlight them, nothing else I can think of does so... I just want to fish at night, but the Luminous Dye doesn't work. Edited December 19, 2017 by MayuriK12 Adding more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drissd Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 well... i noticed the same problem with the dye... >_< bait worked fine, but wasn't the dye some kind of buff that had a timer (within the item weel?) ... that one worked better for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the only thing I have noticed is the problem with the first thing you throw being the only thing that works. Yeah this is pretty much what happens to me. It's not just dye that's broken; bait is fairly borked as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VentusVero Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Has DE responded to this yet? Cant even find a known issues thread. Some acknowledgment would be nice. Digging through threads now, but 2 weeks later and no hotfix? Edited December 20, 2017 by VentusVero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antishooter Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 To me it appears to be that no fish spawn at all. I got a three hours ressources booster and tried to go fishing, then I noticed rain and thought "Yay, even more fish", got a buff from my kavat and threw everything I had into the sea... to waste three minutes, sitting there for nothing....

SpaceSheepie Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) I threw some dye into the lake to see if it was fixed and it miraculously worked for me, came here to check if that meant it was fixed and disappointed to see people still having problems... Maybe 'cos I got the dye quite far away or because it was the first one I used, like a previous poster suggested, it worked. But still, considering fish are important for crafting arcanes along with earning Cetus reputation and so on, this is stifling progression. I'm working on my last set of arcanes but haven't been able to progress in two weeks because of this, as such I've stopped killing the eidolon too, as I won't be able to craft the arcanes I purchase. Hello? DE? Are you there? Say SOMETHING. Do SOMETHING. Edited December 20, 2017 by SpaceSheepie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Datastorm Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I am beginning to think DE is ignoring this issue and those of us complaining about it in hopes we go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
