Every common reason the ExoPanda Fisch macro reports as not working — the reel-bar drift bug, resolution mismatches, the 100% Windows scaling requirement, and what to check when the start key does nothing.
The most common report of the Fisch macro not working sits inside the reel minigame. Every other step — equip, cast, shake — is fine, but once it's time to balance the reel bar against the fish bar, the macro either does nothing or the bar slowly drifts to the left and the catch is lost. This is almost always a display-side issue, not a macro bug.
The reel bar reads positions off the screen, so anything that distorts on-screen coordinates breaks it. Two display settings can do that: a non-standard resolution and Windows display scaling above 100%. The fix is to bring both back to known-good values — covered in the next two sections.
The Fisch macro is tuned around 1920×1080. Other resolutions can work, but if anything is misbehaving, the fastest single fix is to set Windows to 1920×1080 and retest before touching anything else.
Open Settings → System → Display, scroll to Display resolution, and pick 1920 × 1080. Restart Roblox so it picks up the new resolution, relaunch the Fisch macro, and try a cast. In our support reports this single change fixes the reel-bar bug a majority of the time on its own.
The macro is hardcoded to require 100% Windows display scaling. We use a bit of memory reading for some positions, and once Windows is scaling the desktop at 125% or 150%, the X/Y coordinates the macro expects no longer match the pixels the mouse actually moves to. That breaks every position-driven action — including the reel bar.
To check: open Settings → System → Display, find Scale and layout, and confirm the value is 100%. The Fisch macro shows a pop-up warning when it detects non-100% scaling, but some users dismiss it and try to run anyway — that's when you hit the "the macro just won't start" report covered next.
If your display physically requires 125% scaling to read text comfortably, the workaround is to drop scaling to 100% only while you're running the Fisch macro and restore your preferred scaling after.
When users report the macro is completely silent on the start key — they press it, the UI stays, nothing happens — it's almost always the same root cause: Windows scaling is not 100%. We hard-block the start of the Fisch macro if scaling is wrong, because launching it under the wrong scaling produces the broken behaviour from the reel-bar section and creates worse support reports.
Wrong resolution alone will sometimes silently break individual actions; wrong scaling will silently refuse to start at all. Set scaling to 100%, restart the Fisch macro from the main hub, and the start key will respond.
If the start key still doesn't fire after scaling is correct, check the keybind in the main hub's Settings tab — the keybind lives there, not in the in-game macro UI (see the setup guide for the hub-vs-UI distinction).
