Check How to Fish PC requirements and use current official announcements for lobby, save, and inventory issues.

Answer first

Quick Answer

First restart Steam and the game, confirm Steam connectivity, and compare the installed build with the latest official announcement. Do not apply an old save or inventory workaround until checking the current patch notes, because Dazed Games has already changed relay diagnostics and several save, lobby, and item behaviors after release.
