Sharks, We are happy to announce the latest update to Maneater is here and ready to make a splash! This update has optimization improvements to increase stability and performance on all platforms as well as additional checks to make sure players receive the proper rewards for completing objectives. [b]Stability and Performance[/b]

• Performance improvements made across the game.
• Fixed a performance loss issue that could occur during the Leviathan battle
• Performance adjustments with gore FX chunks not spawning all at once
• Performance improvements with PFX for seagulls, fish school, and squids
• Improved memory handling for increased stability

[b]UI/UX[/b]

• Made adjustments to how in game menus load. More information is loaded when opening the menu, this should decrease the amount of time needed when switching between menu tabs
• Adjustments to UI elements to better fit UI text. This was resulting in some UI flickering
• Fixed an issue where pop ups on the Map menu would remain and display on re-entering the menu
• Fixed text alignment on “New Aged Reached” screen
• Fixed an issue with Failure To Communicate tooltips appearing when player reloads save file

[b]Gameplay[/b]

• Fixed an improper check related to evolutions dropping that allowed a 1/32767 fail rate per drop [list]
• To help with this we added some retroactive unlocking that does require re-entering the map, Plover Island and Port Clovis, depending on where the drop is located
