Dear captains,
There is a new patch ready for 2024.1 beta.
Localization:
- Japanese localization update by かねのもうじゃ.
- French localization update by FvJ and Placebo.
- Ukrainian localization update by vovanvoks.
- Czech localization update by Spid3rCZ.
- Russian localization update by Hard.
- Italian localization update by BeeTLe BeTHLeHeM.
- German localization update by Ruby.
- Korean localization update.
Type VII:
- Stern gyro angle receiver is now implemented for manual use on Type VII U-boats. Warning: There may be minor issues present with it in old game states until changing the boat at least once to a different type.
Graphics:
- Updates to Type VII textures.
- Fix: DLSS, FSR, TAA and motion blur effects weren't working correctly on the sky. This had various side effects, for example, it could blur the stars on the sky.
- Fix: Dido-class cruisers didn't had a correctly rendered ambient on them and looked somewhat off.
- Fix: Labels on the map could intensively flicker during cutscenes, if FSR or DLSS were used.
- Fix: Smoke could sometimes appear for a short time in the middle of the sea with no ships nearby.
- Fix (regression): Wrong texture was appearing on the table in battery room no. 2 after it was folded out.
UI:
- Fix: Targeting symbols on a contact list weren't disappearing outside scroll range.
- Fix: Gyro angle displayed in the tooltips on a gyro angle receiver, was sometimes outside of the range used on the physical dials (0 to 360 degrees).
- Fix: When there were any orders listed in the bottom left part of the screen, they were clipping with buttons used to switch the map modes.
Uboatopedia:
- Fix: When Uboatopedia was opened, there was a pause sound effect played in the background.
Ports:
- Fix: Some areas were a bit too shallow near Brest and it was hard to leave the port during a low tide.
Crew:
- Fix: Improved alignment of several crew animations related to torpedo loading in the stern torpedo room and animations used near engines on Type VIIs.
Technical:
- Optimizations to memory usage and overall performance.
General:
- Fix: U-boat was moving considerably slower than it should with its current speed, on the two highest time compression levels.
- Fix: Shot down aircraft floating on the sea could explode after being rammed by an U-boat.
Yours,
DWS
