You can’t catch fish. Try and try and try but its not working. Don’t get my wrong its a very great and fun game but you can’t catch fish. Previous versions were much better than this one because you can’t catch anything its impossible

### 1/5 — Carp Fishing Sim Rezension

*2024-07-10*

Hallo zusammen,
das Spiel bringt mega Spaß.
Aber trotz entsprechender Ausrüstung fange ich nichts….
Warum?!
Ich habe alles gegeben aber es wird nichts..
Da fange ich mehr im echten Leben..
Schade.
Nächstes Mal Vielleicht.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Dear developers,

I would like to thank you for creating this amazing game. I truly love it and have been playing it for many years — practically since the very beginning and those first memorable moments.

However, the game has started to become a bit frustrating at times. It occasionally crashes, especially in multiplayer mode — whenever I get a bite, the game tends to crash every time.

Some players have also reported that they don’t receive coins or XP after catching fish. Another issue that could use attention is the strike waiting time. For some users, it takes more than an hour to get a strike, which makes the gameplay feel too slow.

I understand that the game aims to be a realistic fishing simulator, which is what makes it so special — but a few small tweaks and stability updates would make it absolutely perfect.

Thank you very much for all your hard work and dedication. I wish the whole team the best of luck and continued success with this great game.

🎣 With respect and appreciation,
Igi

### 5/5 — Really good game but one thing.

### 5/5 — Pêche réaliste
