I don’t really see why and how escorts could have changed spotting distance further away...as i touched only merchant visuals...

I’ll have a look into it this afternoon anyway.

Keep in mind best time compression is X512 to X1024, no more

What I mean is... when time compression stops. I'm like 1km away and get spotted instantly. Well maybe not 1km... but I ain't exactly got time to calculate.

I did follow install instructions. Thanks for the hotfix. Very appreciated.

Oh and BTW.

Did you change the navigation map? V3 Showed a more precise underwater topography.

Might be a bug on my end IDK but the map is very minimalistic. Wich can cause an issue with planning routes. I usually travel over zones where I can dive deep but now I got nothing on the map to help me find those.

I'm all in for immersion but some concessions has to be made for a game to be enjoyable.

If the change was intended, could you make the old map as an optional addon?

again, didn’t changed anything related to nav map ...between V3 and V4!

Weird. Perhaps something has gone wrong with my installation. Even thought I did follow the instructions.. that's odd.

Link to a screenshot of the map.

I drawed an approximation of a zone with deeper water over it so your know what I mean. The map gives no indication if certain zones are deeper than other.

Is this intended or a bug on my end?

You are right, something happened...can’t believe a file could change by itself

Many things i don’t explain with windows 10 and those damn updates.
I’m 100% sure i didn’t touched the nav map files, and it’s changed!

I’m not home tonight and not tomorrow either, but I’ll fix this on Monday here, and post an other Patch.
It will be V4 Patch 1, with the escorts visuals + Nav map fix

...and will delete other patch download.

Sorry for this strange issue

Just in case it might be due to some odd interaction with SH4. I'm going to do a complete clean re-install and see if the issue is still there.

THX for your continuous work.

Yet,there is no ship traffic at all in Baltic Sea.No neutral or enemy.
Could you add ships like there was in OM?
Baltic Sea Flotilla without ships too boring.
No realistic too.

Best regards,Paroni

Did you empty your Save folder before using v4? You could also copy and save it elsewhere if you want to keep a v3 career going for later use...
