Version 1.06 Beta Available

Killerfish Games · 07-01-17, 09:18 AM

Version 1.05 beta is now available. This version contains fixes to the campaigns in order to continue to resolve the most major and disruptive issues. It also contains the first draft of crew voices which were provided courtesy of subsim.com

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 1.05.

Verified subsystem displayed repair times take into account difficulty level modifiers
campaign_data.txt CampaignPoints and CampaignStart points values doubled for both campaigns to increase their length
Fixed a possible mismatch of player weapons in tubes which might cause some downstream bugs
Restructured EndLevel() in attempt to minimise impact of unknown bug
Fixed a bug where missing a mission caused all subsequent radio messages to state failed, even if won
Corrected all LAND_STRIKE missions to require 8 weapons fired at deployment zone
New Holy Loch background added for both campaigns
Fixed a bug where entering combat near/between two (or more) ports broke mission (blank blue underwater screen)

Thanks guys! Keep up the good work.

Heh, that was my first thought as well. Sounds just like him.

Fitting they made him the sonarman, he seems to be know a bit about sonar.

Via Steam, my CW 1.06 passed to 1.06b, but I can´t find any text with the update changes or additions.

Where is a "readme" for this latest update?

Many thanks!

New torpedo models look KILLER! (everyone go take a look at the Mk 37 and Mk 48!)

My question is though, are the old assets (3d model and texture) removed / replaced or are they still there somewhere. I'm just wondering for "modding" reasons.

Very nice! Thanks. Have only had a little time with it so far but I really like what I'm seeing!!

MBot · 07-01-17, 11:36 AM

Very nice, thanks a lot.

I am not sure if you are already aware of this, but AI subs detect passive torpedoes that are activated in their baffles.

What AI subs specifically?

Steiger · 07-01-17, 02:28 PM

Did you guys make any changes that would directly break either the Russian Subs mod or the LA Flight 2/3 mod?

BTW, love that the voices are in the game. They do need some cleaning up (I know they're placeholders at the moment) but still very cool and can't wait for the final product!

Julhelm · 07-01-17, 03:00 PM

Always assume any new patch will break previous mods.

letterboy1 · 07-01-17, 05:18 PM

I love where you guys are going with the added voices. Even though it's a beta version, it is already a lot more immersive.

By the way, is it just me or is the enemy response way more intense?
