Map shows incorrect fish for other players

Why does the map show different fish than what my friends are actually catching?

PaliaOverwolfTechnical

This is a game issue, not an app issue.

The app only displays what your game client loads. Sometimes Palia shows the wrong fish for other players visually in-game.

What happens:

  • Your friend catches a plushie/ancient fish
  • Their game shows the correct fish
  • Your game displays it as a different fish (e.g., Tinfin instead of Floatfish plushie)
  • The app shows what YOUR game sees

Important notes:

  • Your own fish should always be accurate
  • This visual bug affects what you see of OTHER players' fish
  • You can verify this by looking at the fish model in-game
  • Report this to the Palia team as a visual sync issue

Unfortunately, there's nothing the app can do to fix this since it only reads what the game displays.
