I will often get a fish all the way in to the boat, or to the shoreline, and the option to net never appears even though I cannot move any closer to the edge of the boat's rail or out into the shallow water in the area I am fishing. The fish just goes into a struggle mode, almost as if it has begun fighting again, but often times it has already done that. The distance the fish is listed as being from me is always between three and a half and five meters. The drag goes to full strain, the fish cannot be reeled in any further, net option just doesn't come up and the inevitable result is the line breaks and the fish is lost. It seems to be an internal game error where the distance from shore is not coming across accurately, and so netting the fish is not an option because the game is of the mind that the fish is still further out. It is a frustrating bug to say the least, especially when a big fish is lost as a consequence.
On another subject, I cannot report bugs with F5 on my computer as that button is used for screen projection functions and canot be changed. If possible it would be great to be able to choose other buttons for functions that have issues like this.
Hope this helps you guys in development out.
Having a great time playing! Keep up the good work guys!!
