yeah this bug is infuriating. I have a few fish I can't catch because they only show up in oceans and they all just despawn an instant after loading in... what gives?

are you seeing other fish? I haven't been able to see any fish at all in the water recently, at least on the English coastline. They still show up normally in Norway and in rivers/lakes.

No fish are spawning along the coastlines in England. They used to spawn, although in very small numbers in East Anglia. They still spawn like normal in rivers and lakes. But nothing in the coast, I have checked up and down the east coast through several regions, and not one single fish. The only time I see fish is if I load into an area on the coast. Then you see a bunch of fish in the water when you use Odin's sight for a brief second before they all just vanish.

On top of this, many times fish will just drop through the bottom of the floor and vanish when shot with arrows. And almost 95% of arrows shot at fish or into water just vanish despite having the perk that prevents arrows from being destroyed. This happens even in really shallow water which makes no sense. They just vanish somehow.
