Dear captains,
There is a new patch ready for version 2024.1.
Localization:
- French localization update by FvJ and Placebo.
- Japanese localization update by かねのもうじゃ.
- German localization update by Ruby.
Crew:
- Sailors promoted to officers now always start with energy at 100%.
- Fix: There was a timeout after ordering a dive, during which it wasn't possible to assign an engineer to manage diving planes station.
- Fix: Sometimes sailors could become stuck in an idle animation, while performing an order on the valves and were blocking other crew members from accessing them.
- Fix: It wasn't possible to order flooding the tanks on valves without selecting any officer first, even though all other orders present there were accessible in such a way.
Graphics:
- Fix: There was a bright pixelating outline around periscope lenses when any upscaling was in use (DLSS or FSR).
- Fix: Decreased flickering due to aliasing on the gangway between the U-boat and the ports.
- Fix: Volumetric lighting was sometimes much more intense than intended during sunsets and sunrises, for example in Kiel.
Missions:
- Gibraltar crossing assignment now grants the Mediterranean flotillas emblem (a donkey).
- Fix: In tutorial #4, if the game was running in a low enough resolution to not fit all portraits in the map view, it was possible for radioman's portrait to temporarily disappear during the mission.
- Fix: A rare issue in mine planting assignments where mines were not being loaded despite freeing up space for them.
- Fix: Corrected flotilla change assignments initiated on demand. These assignments were previously awarding budget and reputation upon completion, even though that wasn't intended and there were no rewards listed in their description.
Technical:
- Optimizations to rendering on CPU and GPU side.
Ports:
- Added imports and exports to ports that didn't had them defined.
- Fix: It wasn't possible to dock in Copenhagen.
- Fix: Aesthetical fixes to Rotterdam.
General:
- Fix: After unlocking Eagle's Nest, the access to it was lost after reloading a game state.
- Fix: Fixes to several errors spotted in logs attached to bug reports.
Yours,
DWS
