OK, a little bit of update news for everyone, with two issues identified. First up is an issue identified by Zero Niner in
IJN radar
His sub was equipped with what he assumed was a functioning APR-1 device. In fact, there is no way for it to function correctly, because someone built the links to the device incorrectly
(
) Not naming names, but his initials are propbeanie... Anyway, the issue is now identified, a potential fix implemented, and going into testing of said "fix" here in a bit.
The second issue was found by s7rikeback while researching another player's mod set-up. The problem is a continuation of an issue that was found at least two years ago, and was assumed to be "fixed", because testing showed us it was - but that "fix" was approached from a "specific ship" POV... However, the true issue was mis-identified. The issue is a CTD from looking at seemingly certain specific ships in the RecMan, when in fact it has to do with the UnitType of ships MISSING in the RecMan for certain Countries... apparently, the game ~demands~ that any country with a merchant presence, must also have a warship presence. This now properly identified issue also has a "fix", and we will begin testing this as a potential patch.
These two issues, as well as any others you folks can find will be in a "patch" file in a few days to a week from now. Most players will not encounter a CTD as described in the second issue above, but be aware that looking at the Red Cross Roster, or the Philippine Roster can cause a CTD if you page back and forth in the RecManual. The first issue results in you not being aware that you are being "painted" by radar beams, in spite of having a radar detector. Basically, do NOT spend the money on said device until we fix it...
