Closed beta starting soon!

Furia · 09-29-22, 09:50 AM

I have just finished a match with a very strange score. No convoy loses and all 4 enemy subs sunk, however the score reads as CATASTROPHIC DEFEAT

The only one defeated here was Doenitz

It was a game saved that I started in 0.9.11 and finished now with 0.9.13 so maybe the new build has something to do.

I am having tons of fun with the game and I will make an steam review later today or tomorrow.
Shall we keep on reporting "issues" on this thread ?

Also getting bugged score screens.
I forced a u-boat to surface and was shooting it with my 5 inch guns. I saw a big explosion after a hit, and immediately after that I get a cutscene with a merchant being torpedoed and this score screen:

The u-boat never fired a torpedo. There was also a second u-boat still active but the game ended here, but this score screen shows 8 u-boats (there were only 2). I also could not advance beyond the score screen (pressing continue relaunched the cutscene and brought up another continue window, which at that point did nothing when clicked. I had to alt-F4 to quit the game).

A separate issue is the crew model faces are distorted:

I can also confirm the issues with the faces of the crew as well.

Hello everybody,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CLOSED BETA PARTICIPANTS

It has come to our attention that at least some of you have encountered an issue with upgrading to the Early Access version of the game.

In order to leave the beta, you need to:

1. right click on the game in the library, go to properties and then to the 'betas' tab
2. then choose 'None' in the dropdown menu

This should eliminate any potential conflicts between the beta version and the Early Access version.

Please let us know if the above solution has fixed the issue for you. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

As for the remaining issues that you have reported:

-We have noted the distorted faces, but so far we haven't been able to pinpoint the exact reason why that happens
-We hope that we have fixed the bug when the U-boat is destroyed on the surface (which would stop the game with an 'F' grade)

We are now gathering tons of feedback and evaluating priorities for upcoming updates. Hopefully, we will be able to eliminate the most annoying bugs ASAP.

Hey-oh, I had no problem upgrading, I simply cannot buy the game with the supporter pack. I went to buy a tank game today, and thought Steam would let me include DUH w/supporter pack, (love that acronym) but alas.

So, I will make a new thread with a contest and purchase it as a gift for some lucky member!

Are you sure you did not play as sub commander?

Some guys (many on Sream) find it's too hard to sink an U-boat. I have allready more 50 hours game ( I love it ) won many battles and sunk 5 or 6 U-boats. So i think the game is well adjusted on that point.
