Beta 1.03 Now 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 1.01.

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.

[ridley]

Is this game still in Beta or is it for sale?

[YoYo]

Is this game still in Beta or is it for sale?

Released: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=231572

Patches are in the first stage are beta like always.

[ridley]

So its the patch that's Beta not the game?

[qiaoyech]

Yes. Look at the steam store. It's not in early access stage.

[KevinM]

So its the patch that's Beta not the game?

Yes, indeed...

The main game is very stable, it's just the patches that are getting released, initially, as betas, to add more features, fix bugs etc...

You do not need to install the beta patches...you can wait, and they will become official (non beta) patches as they are tested and debugged...

What about these?

NEW FEATURES
Optional sim-like navigation commands
Buttons for just about every keystroke
Speed toggle for campaign strategic map
Voices for message log
Towed array displayed in 3D, ability to extend and withdraw
=====================================

Are they coming in 1.03 as well or are they coming in future patches?

[Stardog765]

Would like to know as well. I trust them when they say they are coming but would like to have at least an idea when.

Especially the control options. Seems to be some rethinking now how this is going to be implemented.

Check your override folder, specifically your weapons.txt, it may be outdated. The new 1.03 version has some major changes, including to the Kotlin's guns. If your running a mod that alters weapons.txt, you need to remove or update it to a 1.03 compatible version. The same thing happened to me btw.

I like all +1!

[clayton]

Hi, when I go into properties, all I see is betas-
When I click on that, I have no option to choose which beta I want.
Is it automatic?

[Stardog765]

Once you select beta it should give you the most current beta.

[Ramius]

Yea, it was a mod that was doing it. Removed the override folder and it works as intended.

Ramius?? Did we meet on the internet in the past? Seawolves?

[Leemon]

Updated game, but I dont see Recognition Manual button. I know it supposed to be on top right corner, tho start window shows me V1.03.
Any solutions?

Sorry, wanned to add link, but forums automaticly puts video here.

If you resized your HUD in options, that may have moved the icon off the screen. The developers know about this, so it should be on their list to fix soon.

[Topo65]

I dont resize my UI (my res is 1366 x 768), and I cant see that button either... :down:

[Delgard]

Can someone point me to the Steam Library to get the new Beta?

Thanks

That explains it!

[Topo65]

1.03b Fixed! Now I can see it! That was very fast! :Kaleun_Applaud:

[Delgard]

A Steam guru I am not.

[Berserker]

Where is the patch??? I have been to steam and it has a write up but no download button or link..:timeout:

[Delgard]

In YOUR "Library" (listing) of Steam games. I R-clicked on the Cold Waters name in the left panel and a window opened. I chose "Beta" and it downloaded. I have 1.03b now.

My boat doesn't have a "library" so I was just not...

[Killerfish Games]

We just released 1.03b.

To opt in to future betas:
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 <INSERT BETA VERSION HERE>.

[Berserker]

Why can't the mods be put in the download section here...This way those of us whom are not as smart as others can download them without having to jump thru hoops and ring bells???:damn::mad:I tried the ways that krillerfish recommended and no way it will work...

[Ramius]

Ramius?? Did we meet on the internet in the past? Seawolves?

Indeed it was Fish, and probably a few other places too... SCX mods for SC, DW Beta etc.
:lurk:

This is a game update, not a mod. There's no way to host that here.

I'd be very excited if I heard that these kind of options were coming

[voodoo1]

Have they managed to fixed the right mouse button camera drag issue yet when you tab out of the game or use the steam overlay.

i.e if you tab out of the window or open the steam overlay when you return to coldwaters the mouse camera control no longer works!

as its pretty damn annoying

[Fish]

Good to see you are in good shape.

I got killed by you at least ones if I remember wel. Must say my memorie is a bit rusty. :salute:
