As I feared, it appears that DW has become abandonware. Once SA found that it was not going to be a commercial success, they moved on to other projects. If there ever is another patch it will strictly be a volunteer effort on the part of the programmers.
This is a case of history repeating itself. The same scenario happened with SC. The one difference was that SC received more support early-on, and the remaining bugs did not make the game uninteresting to play. When it too was abandoned by SA, it was whole enough to make modding not only possible, but enjoyable. I do have to give SA credit, they were much more efficient in cutting their losses this time around. Only one patch and they were gone.
Personally, I put DW away some time ago due to the hardcoded sonar bugs. I do still play SC though. Since I am only interested in the sub aspect, speaking for myself, SC is a better game.
