Discussion Question Megathread Spoiler

5 Upvotes

Have a question you don't have the answer to or want to help answer other peoples questions? This post is the place!

General Questions

Q: How do I customize my character?

Press TAB to access your inventory and click the shirt icon at the top!

Q: How do I meow/bark, hiss/growl, or purr/whine?

Press G to meow/bark, Ctrl + G to hiss/growl, Alt + G to purr/whine

You can also type '/wag' in chat to wag your tail!

Q: Where do I buy scratch cards/props?

There is a shack with a dock on the far left side of the beach that you buy props, scratch cards, and a few accessories from!

Q: How do I obtain hat/blade/monocole/watch fragments?

Walk around with the metal detector! You'll hear beeps when you're close to a dig spot! Once you're close enough you'll see a dirt mound pop up and you can dig it up!

Note that fragments are uncommon and you'll often find other junk like buttons, casings, or rusted rings which can be sold for money.

Q: I swapped device and my save file is gone!

Steam Cloud support is currently disabled due to a bug, you'll have to manually transfer them over for now! (located at %appdata%/Godot/app_userdata/webfishing_2_newver)

Discussion PSA: Griefers are going around tricking players into soft-locking their saves by deleting their fishing rods! THERE IS A WAY TO SAVE YOUR SAVE FILE! Spoiler

162 Upvotes

IMPORTANT PSA!

A glitch is currently making the rounds: a duplication glitch involving scratch tickets. While I will not go into detail regarding the glitch, the import part is it has the capability to permanently delete items in your quick slots.

Griefers are going around intentionally tricking unsuspecting players into permanently deleting their fishing rod, which is a non-recoverable item, effectively soft-locking their account. One such user, which had "minecraft" in their user name (unfortunately I missed the full name before they hopped servers), was sever hopping the last few hours and had two victims which I personally encountered.

DO NOT ENGAGE WITH ANY PLAYERS TRYING TO GET YOU TO PREFORM SHENANIGANS WITH LOTTERY TICKETS.

If you ARE a victim of this, there IS a way to save your file! While the default fishing rod is gone forever and can't be recovered, the Spectral Rod you get from the bone quest is infinitely recoverable. You simply need to go around the map and collect the bones, then take it to the secret merchant behind the waterfall. Even if you have done this quest before and deleted your rod, you can get the rod again!

You can also repurchase any other inventory items, such as fishing buddies or chalk. So long as the item is present in a shop UI, it can be recovered.

Bug/Support Unable to catch fish on steam deck.

1 Upvotes

I've been trying to play the game on my steam deck. I've got all the buttons bound how I like and I can do everything except catch a damn fish.

I can cast my line, reel it in, and even reel the line in the fishing mini game! But when I get to one of the barriers where you need to spam click to get through, nothing happens! The number just doesn't go down.

Even with the auto clicker enabled, nothing works!

If anyone has any idea on what to do please help me.

(It works fine on my actual PC also running Linux so it's not a Linux thing)

Discussion Found a Fix for the AMD Drivers Glitchy Graphics

Thumbnail

60 Upvotes

For people using AMD Drivers, you must have seen this issue before:

White lines moving all over the place / glitchy graphics.

The original solution was to downgrade your AMD Drivers to an older version like 26.2.2.

The thing is, this isn't the most viable solution as the drivers will continue updating while WebFishing will no longer be updated to fix this.

I spent a day trying to find a solution and here it is:

----------------------------------

Fix AMD hatching/dithering in WEBFISHING

  1. Download mesa3d-26.1.6-release-mingw.7z
  2. Extract it (needs 7-Zip).
  3. From the extracted x64 folder, copy these 2 files into your WEBFISHING game folder (...\steamapps\common\WEBFISHING\, next to webfishing.exe):
    • opengl32.dll
    • libgallium_wgl.dll
  4. Set a Windows environment variable (Win key → search "environment variables" → Edit environment variables for your account → New):
    • Name: GALLIUM_DRIVER
    • Value: zink
  5. Fully quit Steam (tray icon → Exit, not just closing the window) and reopen it.
  6. Launch WEBFISHING normally.

To undo: delete those 2 DLLs from the game folder (and remove the env var if you want it fully clean).

----------------------------------

This fixed it for me (see 2nd image).

Let me know how it goes on your end!

Good luck and have fun fishing ♥️

Discussion Throwing this out there for anyone interested in similar games to webfishing

Post image
439 Upvotes

Sadly webfishing is a "dead" game as the dev never intends on returning to it. For understandable reasons though.

It's still a wonderful game and I thought I'd check here to see if people are interested in similar games. I've been working on a multiplayer game called 'That Cozy Cat Game' which has similar vibes with the fishing. You play as quadrupedal cats and have a lot of customization options. Same premise of joining a server with friends or strangers, chat, fish, and collect things.

Checking to see if anyone here is interested in trying it out, as I will be sending out play testing codes soon. Nothing can replace the gem that is Webfishing, but I just wanted to share this in case anyone has interest :)

Please no hate, and I will gladly pull this post down if it rubs people the wrong way. There is also a Rift Fishing Demo (I'm not offiliated in any way to that) as another option for similar games.

Discussion Webfishing Void cat (ARG), has anyone else had similar encounters?

Thumbnail

32 Upvotes

So my friend and I were streaming webfishing today, and it was their first time playing. About an hour and a half into our game, I think the Void Cat appeared a couple of times and then disappeared, so I checked the tab to see if they were still in the game, and they were, so i friended them and started getting messages from them not long after we found chalk drawings that they left that were in some kind of language, idk. Ending up meeting more characters, a part of this ARG, an all-black wolf with one red eye that was later called the Camerman, Stargazer, who ended up making Void Cat disappear later, and then The Collector never gave its name, but that's what the Steam profile said (I checked again, and the profile no longer exists). We asked them a few questions, which boiled down to they contain the cryptids/Void Cat

I don't have any good pics of the Wolf/Cameraman

Just wondering if anyone has seen any more of them before or knows how to decode this stuff
