Hey <@&809690823661846548>
Help us squash a bug!
As some of you know, we have a Beta branch for the PC version of Raft over on Steam which, among some other quality of life changes, lets you cross-play together with rafters on PlayStation and/or Xbox. We just released a small patch for the Beta branch which fixes a few bugs and adds some more voice chat options.
We are currently trying to pinpoint an annoying bug that has been popping up among some of the players on the Beta branch and we would love if you could give us a hand in trying to find the issue! So, what do you need to do? Easy, just hop over to the Beta branch, play as you normally would, and let us know here on the discord if you encounter any issues. It's especially interesting for us if you get an error message when trying to join a friends world, saying "error 63".
If you want to try the Beta branch, please follow these steps;
- Go to your Steam Library, right click Raft and choose Properties.
- In the new window, navigate to Betas on the left hand panel.
- In the Beta Participation drop-down menu, choose 'beta'.
- Restart Steam to make sure the game updates.
Thank you!

Hey there Rafters!
@everyone
What a great week it has been! Raft released a little over a week ago and seeing all the things you have built and hearing about your experiences in the game has been nothing less than amazing! While it seems most of you have had quite a smooth run overall, there has been some pesky bugs here and there. The past week we have been working tirelessly to eliminate as many of those little bastards as possible and we want to thank every one of you who has been so helpful with sending us bug reports and feedback!
Apart from fixing a whole lot of bugs, we have added the possibility to hide the UI for more cinematic screenshots by pressing the period button '.'.
And here is the full list of bugfixes and changes:
- Bug where some people would lose their inventory and/or get a black screen with only UI when joining a friend should now be resolved.
- The system to select frame rate limit has been reworked to hopefully fix bug where some peoples limit was automatically resetting to 20.
- Debris, abandoned rafts and islands no longer spawn in creative to increase building performance.
- Collider system has been removed in creative to drastically decrease delay when building floors and foundations on bigger rafts.
- Sensitivity slider range has been changed from 0-5 to 0.1-20 to allow for much more sensitive input.
- Removed two instances of inventory duplication bugs.
- Removed bug where you could pick up the lantern ghost placement block.
- Removed two bugs where you could get stuck in the storage UI.
- You should now be able to build sloped walls next to inverted roofs.
- Main menu has been adjusted to better support 21:9 aspect ratio.
- You should no longer be able to pick up throwable anchor while hook or fishing rod is in use.
- Black paint color adjusted to look less green.
- Bug where you could not get ressurected after rejoining in dead state should now be resolved.
- You should now be able to craft shark bait in creative mode.
- Bug where rain was visible under water should now be resolved.
- Changed typo from 'further' to 'farther'.
- Changed typo from 'reciever' to 'receiver'.
- You should no longer be able to place 5 sharkheads in an equipment slot.
- Inverted roofs now have a cost.
- Being stuck after dying on chair should now be resolved.
That is all for today folks! Happy Rafting!

Hey Rafters!
It is once again time for another update! One of the most requested features since we launched here on Steam has been the ability to change the field of view. There were some technical issues with changing the FOV which is why it has taken a little longer than we hoped for, but we’re pleased to say it is finally here.
Secondly, we have added a bow and arrow. A piece of wood, some bolts and a pair of old skis creates a handy bow in true home made Raft spirit. The bow can be used to hunt seagulls, fend of the shark or deal with an annoying teammate if you are so inclined. The bow is also a preparation for later updates, with more creatures coming in the future.
Apart from this some smaller bugs have also been fixed:
*⃣ A bug where the binocular overlay image could sometimes be stuck even when not using the binoculars should now be fixed
*⃣ Removing a research table should no longer cause a player using it to get stuck in the research menu.
*⃣ To balance the bow, the shark now swims deeper when hit by an arrow from above water.
That is all for this time! Until next time!

Hey @everyone !
We are back with a new update! But before we release it on the main branch, we would love it if you would like to test it a bit on our staging branch!
In this update you will find the Sprinkler, which helps you keep your plants watered by automatically converting saltwater to fresh water and spraying it across your grass or crop plots. It does require some battery power though!
You might also notice that the weather has been slightly reworked to provide a more lively and diverse sky.
In addition to this we have done some re-coding of the building system. Destroying and building foundations/walls/pillars etc should now be a whole lot faster on big rafts. Something else that has been remade from scratch is the receiver system. We did this both in order to prepare for future content, but also to hopefully have resolved some issues with receiver dots disappearing.
Oh, and make sure to keep an eye out for the radio and captain’s hat!
If you want to help us and test it out, please follow the guide below on how to access the test branch, and if you find bugs or problems, please report them to us here: https://support.redbeetinteractive.com/hc/en-us/requests/new OR you can post them in the #report-staging-bugs right here on the Discord!

@everyone Hi! We have gotten a lot of reports of a bug where picking up quest items results in it dissapearing without giving you the item. We just released a hotfix which we hope fixes this issue. Please restart steam to make sure you get the new update.
If you are already missing items, please start a ticket so that we can help you.
New update number is 10.01.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
hollow lagoon
@everyone
We have released a hotfix, please update your game before you progress further into the game. The latest version should now say Update 10.01 (4458296) in the game menu.
This should prevent the quest item bug.
hollow lagoon
@everyone
It is us again. We have released one more patch. 
With this hotfix, these bugs should be fixed:
-Quest items (including wildberries, crowbar,etc) not appearing in the notebook. However if you were already experiencing this, we need to join your world and fix it manually. Just contact us via @rose swan
-We have fixed the save system. If your world still does not show up, make sure there are no extra dots(..) in the name of the rgd file. (for example: "Wor.ld.rgd" should be "World.rgd")
-Game screen glitching and shaking
-Loot icon not working while looting hostile animals like pufferfish, warthog, etc.
-Respawning with hammock not working
Also,
-Chat should work much smoother now.
-The new "Open Save Folder Path" button to make finding save files easier.

@everyone
We have released another hotfix patch 10.04!
This patch should restore any missing quest items that you have picked up and have not received in notebook.
If you happen to run into more issues regarding quest items, make sure the host reloads the world.
Every time you load a world the game will check for any missing quest items and restore them. This will happen a few seconds after you have loaded the world.
If you keep getting no quest items when picking them up or if your items are not restored when reloading your world, please contact us via @rose swan
hollow lagoon
Hiya @everyone !
Here comes the hotfix patch 10.05! With this patch;
The missing craftable quest items "bomb, carjack, lightbulb" should be no longer a problem.
Having two frequencies with the same number should no longer happen. And for people who had the same frequency it should fix itself when reloading the world.
Debuffs such as poison should now be removed after respawning.
Also, here you can see a summary of the patch notes for the hotfixes we have released recently: https://steamcommunity.com/games/648800/announcements/detail/1711861579645930382
Have a nice weekend!

Hi @everyone
As you might have noticed we have released 2 more patches; 10.06 & 10.07. Here you can see which bugs have been fixed:
Hotfix 10.06
Different frequencies between host and clients. This resulted in players typing a frequency in the receiver but no blue dot was visible.
Two frequencies with the same numbers.
Character getting squashed/weirdly scaled after being resurrected in a bed.
Hotfix 10.07
Disappearing islands/floating animals. (If you logged out close to a missing island there may still be "floating" animals but just continue playing and it should hopefully not reoccur)
Anchors were not working for some people.
Puffer achievement was not obtainable.
Make sure to restart Steam and Raft to get the latest version of the game.
