The Angler Patch 1.6.7 highlights
These are the highlights of Patch 1.6.7 for COTW The Angler game.
Multiple Fish Baiting
Now more than one fish will attempt to bite your bait, giving you a more realistic fishing experience.
Time of Day Selection
Finally, probably one of the most requested features! You can now (somewhat) control the time of day you’re playing. So you no longer have to just wait or constantly switch servers to play at the time of day you have to play. When choosing a reserve you can now select a few options for the time of day: Any, Morning, Daytime, Evening or Night.
In single player this will set the exact time you selected. When playing online, you’ll be put on a server with the closest time of day of your choice. Neat!
Fish Viewer Screen is now in 3D
Maybe to a killer feature, but still cool to use. You can now see the awesome fish models in 3D and enjoy the effort put into creating these models by the game developers.
Below is a screenshot with an example for a Diamon Mountain Whitefish I caught in Golden Ridge Reserve. Interaction in the viewer is quite basic as you can only rotate around, but it’s still nice to see the fish in detail.
Maybe for a future versions the Devs will implement a full screen 3D viewer similar to what you can do in The Hunter game.
Quality of Life and Bug Fixes
Various improvements and bug fixes, including saving multiplayer settings on PS4/PS5 and syncing time of day to the server.
