Friends,

We regret to inform you that due to the heavy increase in the number of users the dual authorization option through Steam client (Steam & RF4 profiles) has been causing some conflicts in players experience with the game. At this time we will have to suspend the option of login through Steam client for profiles created at rf4game websites. This change will be in effect starting Monday, July 2nd 2018.
All profiles that have been registered through rf4game websites will be able to continue to enjoy the game by launching it via rf4 launcher, not Steam client. This change does not affect profiles created with Steam. Once you pass the login no other changes in the game-play will be affecting any players regardless of their profile registry.

Please accept our sincere apologies about this matter. We will continue working on resolving this issue in the future.

Patch notes:

- Server optimization.
- Now players can create user names using “-” and “_” symbols.
- “Global” chat has been set as default chat in the following regions - EN, US, PL, FR

Thursday 11pm EST/5am CEST server restart and client update

Tonight 11pm est server restart. Patchfix for Steam wallet purchases for existing RF4 profiles.


To all RF4 players that have purchased Gold or Premium through Steam for your existing RF4 profile and the gold or premium went to your steam profile instead, please send an email to support@rf4game.com from your email that is registered to your Rf4 profile requesting a transfer with your steam game name.

Friday, June 15th, 2018, will forever become the most memorable date for the Russian Fishing 4 team and our fans.
At 2AM (EST) we will have our servers restarted and at 9AM (EST) we will hit THAT button!

Dear friends,

We are working closely with Steam on resolving these issues and will have Russian Fishing 4 on Steam in no time.
Please accept our apologies for this small delay. We are working hard so you can enjoy Russian Fishing 4 on Steam.
Stay tuned for the Steam Launch date.

Friends,

With the next update, we will implement several important changes to the repair of rods and reels.

The rod blanks will no longer be repairable. You won’t have to spend playing time and game currency on repairing them.
Additional changes in the mechanics of wear of the rod blank will significantly increase the service life of the rod, and as a result, the cost of its operation will decrease.
At the time of the update release, the blanks of all none-broken rods available to players will be fully restored to 100%.

Also, with the release of the upcoming update, it will be possible to repair the broken mechanism of the reels. So, don’t rush to throw away your broken reels.



For a full explanation of how the new repair system works, please read this posts:

Dear friends,
as all of you know we are working hard on getting Russian Fishing 4 ready for Steam Early Access release. But we haven't forgotten about your requests and were able to make necessary changes to game chat and weather reporting. These changes will come in effect prior to Early Access release.

Now you will be able to see the weather reports for every water body before you decide to travel there.
