Version 1.09d Beta Now Available
Version 1.09d Beta
22 Dec 2017

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 1.09.

Opting into the beta will likely break any mods or custom content so be sure to disable your override folder.

==============================
Major Changes
- Start of combat sonarman greatly improved. Please check for any issues with initial contact assignment with detected or lost contacts, duplicate "S" contacts etc.

- INSERTION and LAND_STRIKE missions were crashing in previous 1.09 versions. Please verify that these mission types are working and if you have a campaign where they consistently crash on loading, please email us the save game.
Confirmed still crashing: We'll roll out a fix in the next day or so.

- Subsequent missions could crash due to assignment of neutral flags in the previous mission. Please check multiple missions work fine in the same play session.
