Beta 1.03 Now Available

[Killerfish Games]

A beta of version 1.03 is now available.

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 1.01.

Any assistance to verify these fixes are working will be appreciated.
Would also like confirmation from Mac users that it is working fine.

Please use this thread to comment on the beta features, testing result, any issues you come across.

Yes, indeed...

The main game is very stable, it's just the patches that are getting released, initially, as betas, to add more features, fix bugs etc...

You do not need to install the beta patches...you can wait, and they will become official (non beta) patches as they are tested and debugged...

What about these?

NEW FEATURES
Optional sim-like navigation commands
Buttons for just about every keystroke
Speed toggle for campaign strategic map
Voices for message log
Towed array displayed in 3D, ability to extend and withdraw
=====================================

Are they coming in 1.03 as well or are they coming in future patches?

[Stardog765]

Would like to know as well. I trust them when they say they are coming but would like to have at least an idea when.

Especially the control options. Seems to be some rethinking now how this is going to be implemented.

Check your override folder, specifically your weapons.txt, it may be outdated. The new 1.03 version has some major changes, including to the Kotlin's guns. If your running a mod that alters weapons.txt, you need to remove or update it to a 1.03 compatible version. The same thing happened to me btw.

I like all +1!

[clayton]

Hi, when I go into properties, all I see is betas-
When I click on that, I have no option to choose which beta I want.
Is it automatic?

[Stardog765]

Once you select beta it should give you the most current beta.

Yea, it was a mod that was doing it. Removed the override folder and it works as intended.
