Hi everyone, new update to resolve the ongoing connection issues is now live! If you're having connection issues, please update to the latest version.

In a related note, due to some complications with Twitch's new API on my end, the feature to send chat messages from a secondary chatbot account has been temporarily disabled. I'm working on fixing the issue ASAP and any LurkBait chat messages will still send from your main account in the meantime.

I'll be monitoring the situation closely over the next few days and continue making updates to keep things running as smoothly as I can.

Apologies for any inconvenience and happy fishing!

Includes 9 new fish, spooky additions to the pier and a brand new spooky night-time weather option! 🎃 🦴☠️ Thanks again everyone for the support!

Thanks everyone for your patience and support while I worked through this update, I let this one cook a little longer to smooth everything out as much as possible. As usual let me know if you you have any questions or issues!

Thanks everyone for everyone for your continued support, this is relatively minor update with some important bug fixes and improvements to the bot integration systems.

• [Improvement] Boosting rares is now recorded for each queued cast when cast is first queued, not when the cast actually happens.
  
• [Improvement] The mute button state is now saved when opening / closing the app.
  
• [Improvement] For the nerds: the save data is now pretty formatted JSON to make it easier to read.
  
  
• [Integrations] Streamer.bot actions dropdown is now a much better experience.
  
• [Integrations] Thumbnail URL field is now fixed.
  
• [Integrations] Add new data fields to events, including catchAlertLevel and isNew.
  
• [Integrations] Fixed some bugs with the Streamer.bot integration and the UI.
  
• [Integrations] Added new more incremental LurkBait events, so it now goes "LurkBait Cast" > "LurkBait Snag" > "LurkBait Catch" > "LurkBait Catch Complete".
  
  
• [Bug] You can now add decimals to the weight input field of custom catches.
  
• [Bug] Turning Autohide on and off rapidly now no longer breaks the game.
  
• [Bug] Fixed some bugs with custom audio not saving correctly when adding or editing custom catches.
  
• [Bug] Stats command now displays the player gold and rank correctly based on whether you have "All-time Leaderboards" enabled.
  
• [Bug] Fixed some more bugs with custom catches.
  
  
• [Optimisation] Performance improvements to the Dex, Leaderboard and Custom Catch panels, especially if you have lots of custom catches.

• Steamer.Bot integration! Special thanks to MeepsKitten for making it happen.
  
• Some special new achievements!
  
• You can now delete players from the data with a command, see a list of new commands in the settings panel.
  
• New command to toggle rare fishing boosting.
  
• New command to reset the leaderboard.
  
• A few more bugs shooed away.
  
• Dex and leaderboard should automatically close after 30s of inactivity if the auto-scroll has been interrupted
  
• Fixed bug where editing a Custom Catch showed the incorrect rarity initially, thanks to user Balance for pointing this one out.
  
• Performance improvements.
  
• Now automically scales the resolution down if opened on a monitor too small to fit the LurkBait window.
  
• UI improvements.

You can visit the LurkBait website[blam.cam] for details on how the Streamer.bot integration works.
Once again thanks everyone for the support!

• Reset leaderboard now works as expected! Top catches and gold earned now only includes catches that were caught after the last time the “Reset Leaderboard” button was pressed. All the streamers running tourneys rejoice! I see you 👀
  
• Test casts are now no longer included in your total gold, the leaderboards, or the dex. If you want to fish with your chatroom, use one of your regular cast triggers!
  
• Numerous and sometimes game-breaking bugs have been fixed with the custom catches system. The game now has many fail-safes in the place for corrupted data and now prevents invalid characters from being entered in catch names. Anybody currently experiencing crashes or custom catches failing to load should be back up and running!
  
• User cooldown timer for a chat cast now no longer resets when the user sub/bit/point casts.
  
• Randomness is now a little more random...
  
• When changing resolution/transparency settings the app now prompts you to restart now, to avoid confusion about why they aren’t immediately applying.
  
• We now have SAMMI board integration through webhooks! Huge thanks to Landi from the SAMMI team for directing this feature. You can read more about SAMMI integration on the LurkBait website https://blam.cam
  
• There’s now a help button in the top right which directs to a cute online FAQ page! Check it out at https://blam.cam
  
• Fixed a spelling mistake on the Scrapermouth Mbuna, thanks to hanidew_melon and Luxie for pointing this out.
  
• The queue indicator in the bottom right is now a little larger and can display much larger numbers.
  
• Family friendly mode! You can now toggle showing “mature” items in the settings menu. Heads up this might prevent you from unlocking the achievement for completing the dex.
  
• Dex save data can now recover itself if it gets corrupted, only one user experienced this bug so far but if it does happen, the app should be able to recover.
  
• Better error-reporting now in place, sorry for everyone I bugged with sending me log files nobody should need to do this anymore!
  
• GIF support had to get paused while I fixed some bugs, but it’s well underway and should be arriving soon 🙌

Thanks again everyone for all your support, ya'll mean the world to me! 💝

A huge thank you to everybody who has purchased, reviewed, tweeted, and shared LurkBait, this launch has been so amazing so far thanks entirely to all of YOU!

Thanks everyone who alerted me to an issue crashing the game when users fish during the leaderboard screen. This should be fixed now! I've also added a different (!) icons for epic and legendary catches.

There's a few exciting new features coming soon based off of your suggestions so keep an eye out!
