Please do keep the reports coming as time allows Castout, it looks great!
Castout is testing a beta version that is not going to be distributed and is the most current. It looks like it will be released fairly soon though. Less than two months is my WAG. PD |

Happy Fourth of July.
Been fooling around with the Trafalgar sub....beautiful...simply beautiful. I am aware of the issue with the TIgerfish, but am wondering about the Spearfish. While dueling with an Akula I, my opponent dropped to 1600 feet or so, and despite having an excellent fix on him, I could not get my torpedoes to reach him. Every time I enable my seeker head, the SPearfish rocketed up to about 100 feet or so an thus completely missed him. I suppose I could reset for a deeper search pattern, but what happens when he comes up too far? Any way of reprogramming depth on the fly, or how about simply preventing the torp from rocketing upwards every time I enable it? All this said I realize this is a BETA and am not complaining in the slightest. Awesome job guys!

cj95 : I suppose you're using the old version of RA.
The behaviour you describe I haven't noticed it in the latest beta. Once the Spearfish locks on, wether the enemy sub goes above or below the layer is irrelevant. The torpedo continues to follow its prey. |

The Tigerfish problem is to do with the Doctrine file I have check it out. If you would like to fix it yourself follow this below. NOTE: This is only a quick fix to just to get the Tigerfish working. Load the DWEdit.exe, Click View and then Object Dialog. Go down the Object records and till you come to, 0539: Tigerfish Trp [User] Double left click on it. Look for Default Doctrine change Torp_USER to torpedo. Then click Apply then save and close all window. This should make the Tigerfish work for you, if you follow the above, well it works for me give it a try and see. Do it at your own risk.

Ok, fair enough. So how many versions of the Beta are there? 1 The old version on page-1, that apparently has the problems with the Spearfish. 2-The limited release Beta that ony a few people have. 3- Is there another step iun between them that has corrections to the Spearfish and other things? If so...where is it?

As Castout already explained, the latest version of RA is not distributed in the large, only some people have it for beta testing purposes before a general public release.
When that will happen is anyone's guess though. The most up to date public version of RA is available on subguru's website, and its the one you have. It is already several months old, and has as you noticed many bugs but it is the only version publicly available. There is no other version available. |

Thank's for all the advise guy's. I had to replace my motherboard last week, as a result I lost the install of the game that I was useing. I bought a new copy of DW, I've downloaded the patch now I'll hold off untill the latest Beta is opened up for the general public, this way I can be sure there are no conflicts. Again thank you all.

Is EW somehow modelled in RA? (just had a look at the AEWplane doctrine). My understanding was that EW/jammers couldn't be modelled in DW?

I re-installed DW, patched it and installed RA, I followed all the instructions. But when I tryed to run the game the start up splash screen comes up fine, but the next screen where you can select mission editor, single mission and all that is messed up. It looks like the sceens are over laying on top of each other and the screen is flickering. I can go and pick a mission by clicking randomly around the screen put it's pure luck what I end up in, if I do so the mission itself works fine. Any ideas whats going on here? or how I can fix it?

The only thing I think you can do is un-install and delete the Dangerous Waters folder, and then reinstall DW then try the RA mod again. I would recommend backup the DW folder before trying the RA mod again. For example I have got five DW folders in the common folder (Note I've got the Steam Version of DW), Original - Dangerous Waters Backup My Mods - Dangerous Waters Reinforce Alert - Dangerous Waters Alfa Tau 3 - Dangerous Waters dangerous waters Whichever one I want to play I just name the folder to dangerous waters it works great, for me I do this with most of my games.
