Ahoy, Seafarers!
The crew is back with Hotfix #3, now available for testing on the Beta Branch! This latest update continues our efforts to address community-reported issues and fine-tune your gaming experience on the seas.
We’d love for you to give this build a try before it sets sail for all players on the Default Branch.
⚓ How to Access the Beta Branch
Open Steam and go to your Library
Right-click on Seafarer: The Ship Sim
Click Properties
Select the Betas tab
Choose 'public_beta' from the dropdown list
🧭 What’s Included
Bug fixes - reported by community
Inspection
Fixed issues that made it impossible to complete the mission
Escort
Fixed issue that the escorted ship was very slow or even stopped moving
Hull damage
Fixed issue that ships took damage without reason
Borderless Window Mode becomes default
This should avoid several resolution issues that users have reported
Alt+Enter to activate/deactivate full-screen mode now also works in menus (try this if parts of the screen are black or cut off).
Chinese Localisation
Fixed some localisation bugs in the chinese version
Crashes
Several fixes on random crashes that have reached us thanks to the community
Controls
Fix for menu navigation using only the keyboard
Known Issues
In Inspection mission the “Dock next to ship and board it” task is not getting ticked off from the todo list, but this is just a visual issue and does not prevent the completion of the mission.
🌊 Thank You, Seafarers
As always, thank you for your reports, suggestions, and patience.
We’re hard at work on the next wave of improvements (and Early Access Update #1… 👀) and are excited to share more information about that soon.
See you on the horizon,
Your Seafarer Team 🚣
