Known Issues and Resolutions Worked On In This Release

1. (+) Location: Pearl Harbor Date(s): December 7th Start only Assignment(s): "Patrol Marshalls Early 01" in PatrolObjectives folder. Circumstances: Player is told FruPac needs info on enemy movements etc. in Marshalls area, and the player is assigned Patrol Mili Atoll for a while. The Objective name in the mis file does not match the Objective name used in the tsr file, resulting in a "blank" "Objective: " summary on the Orders, and on the Captain's Log. The Objective does complete, and the player is advanced to Patrol the Jaluit Atoll, and then eventually to Truk Atoll. Fix?: Yes, file(s) edited, and will be in next release or a patch. Resolved?: Yes.
   
2. (+) Location: Manila / Subic Bay areas, and other locations with multiple Objectives Date(s): December 7th Start mostly, but some others as well Assignment(s): "Patrol Verde Island Passage" S-Boat Objective - among others. Circumstances: Player is told to Patrol Verde Island Passage, and is then moved to Subic Bay patrol. However, the patrol area circle "disappears" for that area prior to the time for the player to complete the assignment. Similar will happen in other missions with multiple Objectives assigned, especially the "Hidden" objectives. Player can complete missions, just loses the artwork due to dating. Fix?: Yes, file(s) edited, and will be in next release or a patch. Resolved?: Yes.
   
3. (+) Location: Pearl Harbor, War Patrol #7 Triton Date(s): June 26th, 1942 Assignment(s): "Triton's fourth war patrol took her to Alaskan waters..." in a Tambor boat, SS Triton. Circumstances: Game crashes sometimes while loading the scenario, apparently from the submarine being placed too close to the dock. Sea state determines if you crash, from the submarine being pushed into the dock while loading the scenario. Fix?: Yes, file(s) edited, and will be in next release or a patch. Resolved?: Yes.
   
4. (+) Location: CenPac, closest to Midway during career mode Date(s): June, 1942 Battle of Midway Assignment(s): All boats patrolling near Midway near June 4, 1942 Circumstances: Game crashes sometimes when encountering certain Asashio DD. Apparently a naming conflict. Fix?: Yes, file(s) edited, and will be in next release or a patch. Resolved?: Yes.
   
5. (+) Location: Game-wide Date(s): Around the Guadalcanal time frame Assignment(s): not applicable Circumstances: The intro movie that plays later in 1942 that is named "09_GUADAL_DB.bik" has a typographical error in the name "The Slot", which results in "The SPOT" instead being displayed on the screen map Fix?: Yes, file(s) edited and will be included in next release or a patch. Resolved?: Yes.
   
6. (+) Location: Single Missions Date(s): A late Guadalcanal scenario above New Britain Assignment(s): Player is assigned interrupting a couple of small DD task forces attempting a Tokyo Express run to Rabaul Circumstances: The mission file is an old one, included in at least TMO, but might also be a left-over from an SH4 update file Fix?: Yes, file(s) edited to comply with FotRSU calls and will be included in next release or a patch as SM12. Resolved?: Yes.
   
7. (+) Location: CenPac Date(s): Approx 11 February, 1942 as encountered in report Assignment(s): Patrol in Area A2 Circumstances: After first objective completed, updated during patrol to proceed to Area A6, but map draws on B6, while the synopsis in "Objective:" field shows "E6" Fix?: Yes - Edits completed, all to area "B6" Resolved?: Yes.
   
8. (+) Location: East Asia & CenPac Date(s): various Assignment(s): Opening 7 months Circumstances: Encountering the "Battle..." missions, duplicate ship names are in certain files, causing bad spawns and / or CTDs Fix?: Yes - edits completed - testing. Resolved?: Yes. (related to #4 above)
   
9. (+) Location: Game-wide Date(s): various Assignment(s): All Circumstances: Encountering airplanes, some see the players submarine, some do not. Several CTD encountered during encounters (unable to reproduce in same manner, but did get CTDs to throw). Fix?: Maybe - edits completed - Still testing, and other issues seem resolved. The airplanes do seem to be "super-sensitive" to all configuration settings, and this seems to affect other assets in a given scenario... Resolved?: Yes.
   
10. (+/-) Location: Game-wide Date(s): various Assignment(s): All Circumstances: When taking damage internally, steam pipe breaks and Steam Burst.wav file plays. After damages are repaired, audio file continues to play (unable to replicate) Fix?: Maybe - edits completed - attempting tests. Audio exceeded 0 db scale, reduced both the pipe burst and the steam sound. Resolved?: Unknown.

Plus many others found listed in the "v1FixPatchReadMe_v1.004a.pdf" file in the Support folder of the mod - Plus other new stuff just waiting for you to discover! We don't even remember what we did!
