# Release Notes – Hotfix – 3.1.2.1

## Fixed Issues

### Throwing Knives

* Knives thrown at a crewmate will now pass through them rather than becoming stuck to the player.
* Knives will no longer become stuck in a capstan or other ship interaction point when thrown.

### The Burning Blade

* For crews pledged to the Burning Blade, there is now a short grace period after the Captain leaves the game before the ship begins to sink, to protect from temporary disconnections.
* When a crew in control of the Burning Blade purposefully leaves the game, the ship will now sink naturally and will not appear to others to have been handed in at The Reaper’s Hideout.
* Crews pledged to the Burning Blade who use a Mermaid or Statue to return to their ship will no longer find their Obsidian Skeleton crew missing.

### Player Communication

* Text chat now protects players from anyone attempting to send repeated messages in quick succession.
* Text chat now contains improved profanity filtering, covering a range of new words and phrases.

### User Interface

* Browsing Guilds from the front-end menu now shows the correct Guild level.
* The Tourist Emote Bundle now shows the correct name when browsing the Pirate Emporium.

### Fishing Rod

* Players can no longer use the fishing rod lure to interact with others in the world. (Released previously as part of an interim hotfix.)
* Players will no longer find themselves moved around when casting a fishing rod into the surrounding environment. (Released previously as part of an interim hotfix.)

### Performance and Stability

* Further improvements have been made to game stability to reduce scenarios where players unexpectedly exit the game or become disconnected from their session.
