Version 1.02 Beta Available

[Killerfish Games]

A beta of version 1.02b is now available.

Right click the Cold Waters in Steam library, go to properties and you should have new "BETAS" tab added, then use the pulldown to select the beta you would like to opt into -leave the early access code empty- and the new update should download. When you run the game the version number should read version 1.02b.

Any assistance to verify these fixes are working will be appreciated.

Please use this thread to comment on the beta features, testing result, any issues you come across.

Don't know if it's the new beta but I'm getting horrible lag when the signature panel is open. Lots of frame drops and it almost locks up when time compression is running

This specific mission isn't one I encountered previously, but I intercepted a submarine that was going to land Spetznatz forces in Spitsbergen. Despite successfully completing the mission, the SOSUS net out of Spitsbergen is no longer working.

thank you :) any change that in the future we maybe could get a map with 60% shallow water, and some deep canyons to navigate through ( i know you would need to adjust the AI and maybe camera angels) ? :)

Also very difficult Coop Missions ( Campaign) with a friend would be amazing too and i would gladly pay for a DLC :)

Did you opt into the beta and it says version 1.02 in the bottom right of the main menu?
What you describe sounds like the previous versions.

It's version 1.02 but when I exited out and reloaded the problem went away. I'll just see if it pops up again

But the game does not yet have a stopwatch and good charts!

As for multiplayer as DLC. Normally that is a bad idea PR wise. People are going to be upset that they have to pay for somthing that many consider an essential part of games these days. So If they do plan on adding multiplayer. It would be better to add it to the base game after sales of DLC gives them enough money to spend time developing it. Or maybe in a future Cold Waters 2

If you leave port and end up in the middle of the Norwegian Sea, you likely have an override folder. Be sure to add:
PlayerPositionOnLeavePort=-242,-154
Just below CampaignStartPoints=150 at the bottom of the second section.

For modding purposes, I think it would be helfpul if this value was per-location. This way multiple player bases can be added, each with their own OnLeavePort cooridinates.

E.g:

//Trondheim 6
Alignment=FRIENDLY
Function=PLAYER_BASE,STRATEGIC_NODE,AIRBASE,NAVAL_BASE,INSERTION_TARGET
BaseMapPosition=67.2,-83.5
PlayerPositionOnLeavePort=-xx,yy
AircraftType=us_p3c_orion
AircraftTypeInvaded=wp_il-38_may
AircraftSearchRange=700
AircraftPrepTime=15
AircraftHeadings=315,45
AircraftSearchRange=700
LinksToWaypoint=NC3
LinksToRegionWaypoint=N5

[Killerfish Games]

Agree.

[Wispy]

Great work on the patchs. Game is really shaping up quick.

[trias10]

Any chance at all you could please take a look at the bug where pressing Shift + S both enables silent running but also raises dive planes by 5 degrees? (i.e. the game executes the Shift + <key> action but also the <key> action as well)

[gnolam]

The -7 knots reactor bug is still there.

[gnolam]

I'm also getting radar pings from sunken vessels.

The disappearing wire icon bug is finally fixed though.

[[HYST] Dizzy]

I'm getting a massive performance drop with missles while they are in final attack. I go from a steady 60fps to 1-2 fps. This didn't happen before I entered the beta's.

[Alex in Tokyo]

Not sure if it's related to the beta, but every single torpedo I fire the wire breaks within about 20~30 seconds. Always straight and level at low speed, and doesn't seem to matter whether fine on the bow or broadside.
