How to Fish troubleshooting

Match the exact symptom first: controller menus, Steam Cloud migration, Version Mismatch, a Unity crash, corrupt save, lobby freeze, FPS stutter and distorted audio each belong to different branches.

Error 0x11C7 and Smart App Control

Work through the Windows application-policy block without downloading substitute files or weakening system protection as the first step.

Before changing anything

Record version, session and one controlled result

After 1.1.0, distinguish the missing Euro-section fish, modded shop input errors, lost navigation among islets, and a euro balance that does not match an item price. Those symptoms need different checks.

The latest official announcement checked September 29 is The Islet Update 1.1.0, released September 28. The hub review date is not a patch date or a claim that every linked guide was playtested again. Existing saves upload only after the source device runs and exits once after the historical 1.0.12 migration, so preserve the correct local campaign before opening another device. Steam Cloud does not turn every older missing-item or deleted-save case into automatic recovery.

Official announcements define shipped behavior. Steam discussions describe individual symptoms and possible workarounds. Keep the original post date separate from later replies, and treat community workarounds as reversible tests rather than promised fixes.

For menu selection or an unresponsive Circle/back button, use the controller menu checklist. For an actual release change, compare the official Islet Update summary; for unreleased content, see the roadmap status.
