Water You Doing? Hotfix #2 Expands Inventory and Overhauls Money System
Water You Doing? has received a significant hotfix update that fundamentally changes how players manage their resources and navigate the chaotic waters of the game.
The latest patch, titled "Hotfixes and new inventory!", addresses a batch of critical issues reported since launch while introducing major quality-of-life improvements. The most substantial change involves your personal inventory capacity. Previously limited to a single slot, your storage has been expanded to three slots. This adjustment aims to reduce the frustration of carrying items around the boat without removing inventory management as a core gameplay mechanic.
In a complete overhaul of the economy system, money is no longer represented by physical items that must be carried or stored. Instead, it has been converted into a virtual currency, functioning similarly to repair materials. This shift makes purchasing supplies significantly more convenient and resolves several technical issues previously caused by managing physical cash on board.
Performance optimization remains a priority for the developers at DiSolve Studios. The update includes another round of GPU and CPU optimizations, with a specific focus on improving stability and frame rates on lower-end PCs. Heavy areas within the game, such as the Storm Cave and the Elevator Cave, have received targeted performance boosts to ensure smoother gameplay in these intense environments.

Beyond the major features, this hotfix resolves several specific bugs that affected player experience. The developers fixed an issue where spiders could kill multiple players simultaneously, ensuring they only target their intended victim. Additional corrections were applied to the revive system and various collision detection problems. Furthermore, the game now includes manual saving points at every checkpoint, and dropped items will persist correctly without floating or hovering above the boat.
Looking ahead, the team is actively working on new tutorials and clearer in-game guidance based on community feedback. These upcoming updates aim to help new players better understand core systems like repairs, objectives, and item usage without needing to figure everything out on their own. The developers continue to monitor reports via Steam Discussions and Discord to track down remaining issues quickly.
If you are enjoying the chaotic co-op adventure aboard the musty boat, Valve encourages leaving a positive Steam review. Given the current volume of negative feedback, reviews play a major role in the game's visibility and the team's ability to continue supporting and expanding the project. Thank you for your support and continued feedback!
