+## 0.2.0
+
+- Fix for boat disappearing after leaving it somewhere and coming back later
+  - You may now see the boat flash briefly when you approach it from far away
+- Added UE4SS script to fix boat sometimes duplicating
+  - The boat may freeze for a split second whenever the duplication would have happened but it should recover from there
+- Switched the DARK spell effect with LOCK effect instead so the Row spell doesn't break the Night Eye effect
+  - The Row spell is now a touch spell and has a lock icon instead of damage fatigue icon
+  - (this is needed so the spell does not make a noise or visual effect when cast)
+- Reduced the amount of false-positives with collision detection so the boat shouldn't get grounded in water as often
+

-[*][b]The collision detection sometimes triggers when you are in clear open water.[/b] Sometimes this can happen much more frequently in some problem locations (beneath some bridges) or at very low frame rates. There isn’t much I can do about this, so just try rowing again until you clear the area.
+[*][b]The collision detection sometimes triggers when you are in clear open water.[/b] Sometimes this can happen much more frequently in some problem locations (beneath some bridges) or at very low frame rates. This should be better in version 0.2.0, but if it happens just try rowing again until you clear the area.
 [*][b]The collision detection sometimes fails to trigger when it should.[/b] Particularly when rowing into cliff faces or objects in the water. You’ll likely get pushed overboard if this happens which stops the boat. If the boat gets lost in terrain, you can use the Row spell to summon it back at your location.
 [*][b]There’s sometimes a weird splashing sound and visual effect around the boat when it is moving.[/b] That’s just the tiny invisible vampire that is preventing you from losing your boat in the terrain, don’t worry about it 😉
-[*][b]The row spell as a “DO NOT USE - Darkness” effect in addition to the script effect and damage fatigue effect.[/b] This is purely there to remove the annoying spell cast sound and visual effect when you are continuously casting it. It doesn’t actually do anything in the game.
+[*][b]The row spell as a lock icon and a “Open Easy Lock” effect in addition to the script effect and damage fatigue effect.[/b] This is purely there to remove the annoying spell cast sound and visual effect when you are continuously casting it. It doesn’t actually do anything in the game.
 [*][b]The boat is floating above/below the water in interiors.[/b] There’s currently no way to fix this since we can’t query a cell’s water level from scripts. Hopefully we’ll eventually have an OBSE64 function to do this.
 [*][b]Sometimes the boat doesn’t appear when summoned.[/b] I noticed there are a few problem locations where this can happen more frequently. If it does, try switching to summoning with the “Place Boat Right Here” option instead.
 [*][b]The “Get On Boat” menu option sometimes places you outside the boat.[/b] This seems to be a bug/quirk with the game engine where it just decides to place the player slightly off of the position requested. If this ever happens, use the “Sit Down” option or activate the rope ladder if you have purchased it which doesn’t have this problem.
