2024.1 Patch 8
Dear captains,
There is a new patch ready for version 2024.1.
Localization:
- Russian localization update by Hard.
- Japanese localization update by かねのもうじゃ.
- Ukrainian localization update by vovanvoks.
Crew:
- Fix: An issue where the cook or cleaner could be missing when expanded crew management was disabled. This fix also improves crew shift management, ensuring the correct number of sailors are assigned to each shift even if some crew members become unavailable while they're active.
Missions:
- Troopship convoys generated in escort duty assignments are no longer affected by the convoy size realism setting. They shouldn't be larger than they were by default. It was also making these assignments impossible to loose, since enemies weren't able to sink as many ships.
UI:
- Fix (regression of Patch 7): Repaired an issue with cyrillic characters in the main menu while setting up a new campaign.
- Fix: When playing a game without any periscope stabilization (such option was introduced in Patch 7), it's no longer a requirement to hold a hotkey for half a second to select a target. Instead, it's now enough to press it.
Simulation:
- Fix: Binoculars weren't stabilized, if they were opened by pressing a shortcut button on an officer's portrait.
Ports:
- Fix: Improved the default undock route in Marseille.
- Fix: It was possible for two merchant ships to spawn in each other in Bergen.
General:
- Fix: Repaired one problem that could make it impossible to save a game state.
Yours,
DWS
