Known Issues: We are aware of an issue with setup templates, where grey squares appear in place of missing items. Rest assured, we are actively working on a fix and will resolve this as soon as possible. In the meantime, these squares typically disappear after some interaction with the Templates list. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This update will soon be available on consoles, and we are actively working on resolving the remaining issues to bring the new Dnipro River map to mobile platforms. It will still take at least several weeks before we will be able to release it.

Thank you for your patience, valuable feedback and support as we continue to refine and enhance Fishing Planet!

Tight lines and happy fishing!
