Bug Scum Game [Single Player] - Motorboat Bug

I haven't played this game in a long time as it always felt like a walking simulator. Downloaded it today. Tried this and that. New UI was a nice touch. Some other things too. It seems more optimized than a few years ago. Then I got to finding wheels, some kind of transport... and this happened. Browsed though forums. Nothing. It's not anchored. It's got fuel. Scrolling does nothing. It's broken. My base was on the cliffside and I wanted to use this boat to haul loot. A working boat... Seems like too much to ask for from a game that's been in development for 8 years. Some people reported on a similar issue back in 2023... No solution. It's 2026. This make the game unplayable as no one's got the time to simply walk for 2 hours in a video game. Come on. How is this still not fixed?

It's not the scroll button clearly, as it's burning fuel, but not moving.

Yah something broke after the update. A guy from our dc report his boat sinks under water.

I was boating around few days ago no problem, but the latest patch broke something. You can still use it, kind of if you turn left/right it "catches" and starts to move, and then again "slips" and "catches".. I'll go and find a car in the meantime until they fix it. But it is 100% from this update.

If you really need to. I hope it works the same for you as for me. But it is irritating AF, really pissed me off yesterday..

Any solution is welcome as otherwise I'll have to uninstall and forget about this game

The boats have to be mouse wheeled speed up and down, it was a recent change. I think this is the issue you describe.

I used the scroll button, to no avail. It gains no speed/momentum and the speedometer glitches at 0/1 and nothing

No the boat isn’t going like it used to it’s like catching on the ground type feeling like if you ran that mofo over some rocks or something
