4. Changes in Patches

################################################## ##############################


HARD DRIVE SPACE

Windows will require additional free hard drive space for its operating system
(virtual memory). If you encounter the following message in an error dialog:
"Ran out of virtual memory", free up some more hard drive space.

To install Silent Hunter 4 - Wolves of the Pacific - Patch V 1.2 you will need approximately 200 MB free hard disk space for the full patch.


NEW FEATURES

1. Modified the game rendering to accept FSAA and fixed high resolution rendering.
2. Added "Volumetric Fog" as a stand alone option, no longer member of the "Environmental Effects".
3. Added a new sound volume option, "Radio Volume", that controls the Radio and Gramophone volume.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES

1. Tuned the submarines efficiency mechanics
2. Fixed the damage model for the Kinposan Maru/Medium Modern Split Superstructure Freighter
3. Tuned the malfunction rates for torpedoes. Mk 10 Torpedoes will be more reliable now, as per historical data. Go Sugar boats!
4. Improved the Periscope/TBT torpedo status panel by making only the currently loading tube blink, instead of all that are in the queue
5. Tuned the submarines damage model
6. Added a new tuning option for the radio news/music volume ratio


BUG FIXES

1. Fixed a sound volume issue where some sound volumes were ignored in the game.
2. Removed crashes in replay and multiplayer.
3. Fixed a bug where refit in friendly harbors would not refit the cannon ammunition.
4. The "Maintain Current Depth" command (letter 'A') crash was fixed.
5. Position Keeper for negative bearings fix.
6. Fixed a bug where explosions were played in the scene after a load or a replay even if the explosion took place a long time ago.
7. Fixed the 'invisible monolith' that, if looking at it, will greatly reduce FPS.
8. Fixed a bug where the difficulty settings of the game were ignored in multiplayer. The game now starts with the selected settings from the session page.
9. Fixed a bug where, sometimes, if pressing the Stadimeter button the game would crash.
10. Fixed a bug where, When hovering over highlatable objects in 3d career room, the texture would dissapear.
11. Fixed a bug where, when pressing SHIFT+F2 in any 2d page the game would crash.
12. Fixed the bug in adversarial where the Escort Commander could see your submarine on the navigation map even if the sub was underwater.
13. Fixed a bug where the name on the captain's watch appears to be "Stevens". Nah, just kidding
14. Fixed the SD Air Search radar so that it no longer detects ships.
15. Fixed the Torpedo drag model. Now high speed torpedoes will hit fine.

Thanks TDK1044, looks like another hefty patch....

To install Silent Hunter 4 - Wolves of the Pacific - Patch V 1.2 you will need approximately 200 MB free hard disk space for the full patch.

13. Fixed a bug where the name on the captain's watch appears to be "Stevens".

LOL

too bad there is no fix to open multiple torpedo doors, or that there is no fix for the measurement of speed when playing manual TDC ,but I won't start a rant........SH IV finally might be playable in the near future

Never a dull moment

[SinisterDexter]

Thanks for that tidbit. I'm looking forward to giving it another go

[Barkhorn1x]

After looking at this ReadMe I too am giving SH4 another go as soon as I can get:

- the 1.2 patch
- the 1.2 version of Beery's Real Fleet Boat

[DragonRR1]

Awesome news. I had honestly expected 1.2 to be another week or so although I guess they haven't tried to do everything just most of the worst issues.

Like the other releases, might as well give it to us for QA.

But I'll take my chances...

It works really well. Only prob I seem to be having is getting them shut again if I don't fire but that should be easy enough to fix.

Hmm. Nothing about the Watch/Deck death/damage bug. Disappointing.

edit: Actually,

"5. Tuned the submarines damage model"

Maybe that fixes it? Hope so.

I think this might be it

[DJSatane]

Correct me if I am wrong but I can't find any mention of making chronometer actually allowing us to obtain speed? I hope that is fixed. I mean thats like one of the biggest things. Or am I blind and I didnt see it fixed in that readme?

Someone here like moderator or Neal can you contact UBI or someone whom has contact and make sure they fix chronometer? Did they miss the fact its broken?
