Version 1.03 Beta Available

[Killerfish Games]

A beta of version 1.03 is now available.

To opt in to the beta:
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 1.03.

Any assistance to verify these fixes are working will be appreciated.
Would also like confirmation from Mac users that it is working fine.

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

Can you have a look at Oscar and Alfa class behaviour please. I have a recurring issue with these when they are evading my torpedos, they nose straight down into the sea bed at flank and get stuck. I notice their crush depths are much better than most other subs, and because of the bathymetry map, which doesnt go deeper than these values (the map is inaccurate in the max depth btw) they just nose down and get stuck if I fire first.

Thank you guys for adding this necessary feature! :) Keep up the great work! We all appreciate the hard work.

This.

It is this kind of support from KFG that allowed me to buy Cold Waters without hesitation as soon as it was available! Thank you for the quality entertainment!

If you can't see the new Ship Recognition Manual icon/button
try adjusting your HUD size setting back down to x1

Still seeing enemy subs "evade" by surfacing and staying on surface.

This patch doesn't address those AI issues. I believe that they are looking to start an AI overhaul next along with additional bug fixes.

[Burki]

Dont know why, but this latest patch broke the campaign for me. Weird text glitch when I go into the campaign menu, broke my latest campaign. Theres no 60s campaign for me only 84. I'm only using the mod thats adds in the Los Angeles Fleet II and III

[The Inept European]

see the notes about new file structure which will break mods, including vessel classes.

[Burki]

NVM might be a problem with the mod.

[Burki]

Oh ok thanks

[apudzuf]

FYI: another troubleshooting step if your game is broken with this patch is to right-click the game title in your library list, select Properties, then the Local Files tab, and select Verify Integrity of Game Files.
This fixed a problem where the game froze at mission start. I had no mods installed.

[McNally]

I'm still getting the bug where reactor damage causes me to go in reverse.

I think what happened was I slowed to a stop when I was damaged, then when I came out of ultra quiet to repair the damage, I started moving backwards.

[CiosInflacji]

Finally completed Beating All Odds, which wasn't that difficult since the Bear kept releasing its torpedos above land.
