Dear captains,
There is a new patch ready for version 2024.1.
[h3]Localization:[/h3]
- Ukrainian localization update by vovanvoks.
- Japanese localization update by かねのもうじゃ.
- Russian localization update by Hard.
[h3]UI:[/h3]
- Fix: Inconsistent text alignment was present for save file info when text was long enough to be wrapped.
- Fix: Capacity bar no longer appears when cargo hold contents are viewed on an inspected merchant ship.
- Fix: When a stadimeter wasn't present on the used periscope, the stadimeter button wasn't changing visually and was still looking like it would be active. Also, added a tooltip that explains why it's not available.
- Fix: When an observation periscope was used manually on a Type II, the depth visualization control was displaying an attack periscope instead of the observation periscope.
[h3]World:[/h3]
- Reworked Brest submarine pens to make them compatible with the lowest tides possible in the area. Each bunker now features a water gate with a regulated water level on the inside.
[h3]Ships:[/h3]
- Fix: NPC U-boats had audible propellers, even when they were docked.
[h3]Graphics:[/h3]
- Fix: Dashed lines on puppet state territories were moving during a high compression travel.
- Fix: When ballast tanks were flooded on Type II U-boats, for a few seconds, there was a moving water surface visible in FPP near the ceiling near the loading hatch.
- Fix: When a scene visible during an external interaction was closed, for a fraction of a second, it could be visible with a wrong lighting.
[h3]Audio:[/h3]
- Increased volume of ambient sound in the hydrophone. Also it now varies depending on the direction, when bearing is adjusted.
- Fix: Music and ambient audio could stop to play, when there were many ships nearby due to hitting a sound effects limit in the engine.
[h3]Achievements:[/h3]
- Battleship Hunter achievement can be now achieved also by sinking battleships travelling in a group with other warships rather than only in a convoy.
[h3]General:[/h3]
- Fix: Aircraft could sometimes end up in the water, if they were loaded during a high compression travel. This could cause issues, especially during tutorial #4.
- Fix: Type II U-boats had a stadimeter present on their observation periscopes. It was removed to be in line with Type VII.
Yours,
DWS
