After patching SH4 I can no longer use the SHIFT-F2 view while in outside view of my own sub or other ships to get a free camera that you could use for zooming in much closer than the standard F11-camera. I REALLY liked the outside-SHIFT-F2 view because you could take great screenies while "walking around" other ships, and I really miss it. After patching, SHIFT-F2 always takes you back to the "free cam" in the internal F2-view...

Confirmed that pressing the "a" key does not initiate a CTD. Works beautifully.

I did a crash dive. Once I started to go under I hit the "a" key. A red arrow appeared on depth gauge showing the depth I was at when pressed. Of course momentum carried me deeper but the boys brought her up to the depth eventually.

Salute all!
Loaded the 1.2 and tried a couple of things. My frame rate sucked initially, so I checked my nVidia settings. Seems the SLI is defaulted off again. I changed it to forced split-frame rendering and it seems to work. Doubled my FPS without a crash so far. Any additional guidance in this department would be appreciated. And thanks to the Dev team for the great work!

Confirmed , it was indeed a nice feature but fell overboard in the patch

Great! That's one of my first stops. Are you using nHancer with your SLI?

I alt-tabbed back to the game post 1.2 to find this:

Somehow this ship had 'teleported' to my position? Incidentally the damage control screen showed no damage. Thay don't make em like they used to.

Like suggested in the patch thread , start patrol from port after the patch.
It's not a good idea to patch it and continue mid patrol.

Battery life still sucks and drains quickly. Hoping that the realistic battery life mod will work with the patch. Haven' tried yet

Bummer.... I really loved that feature. Hopefully this is only a matter of some cfg file and can be modded back in.

I did. That image was right outside Pearl Harbor after I started a new patrol post 1.2 install.

I dived away and suffered no damage but not before I had pushed the ship backwards into another US vessel. No Sailors or ships were harmed in the making of this screenshot.

Two notes, for those concerned, on 1.2 from the notes posted on Ubi's site:

Note 1: The save games and replays that were made with older versions of Silent Hunter 4 will be incompatible with the new patch version.

Note 2: In Base autosaving are compatible between original version and Patch

Use the speed settings and set for 2 knots instead of ahead 1/3.

Increases battery life dramatically.
