The update, which went live during a scheduled server maintenance period on April 24, 2026, specifically targets a bug where saved passwords remained valid even after a player had successfully changed their account credentials. While this doesn't change the RPG progression or your current fishing gear, it is a vital fix for account integrity.
Because of this vulnerability fix, the development team has cleared all previously saved login data. This means the next time you launch the game, you won't be able to rely on auto-login. You will need to manually enter your username and password to access the simulation.
This patch follows a brief period of technical adjustments for the game, including a 2-hour server restart that took place on April 21. While technical maintenance isn't as flashy as a new fishing spot in the Norwegian Sea, ensuring your account remains secure is the most important "meta" for any long-term player. Make sure you have your login details ready before you head back out to the water.
