Game Update 001 - 09/2024

Hi Everyone,

A new version of the game is now available, with various smaller fixes and improvements.

This is the first of many planned updates that will come to this game on GOG. We regualarly work on our old games, brining fixes and improvements, and sometimes bigger features :)
For Kaptain Brawe specifically we have big plans in the coming 6-12 months, for example we're working on gamepad support currently.

So, if you find any issues, minor annoyances or even something simple as a typo - please point it out, here on the forum or at support@cateia.com.

Now, back to this update, here's what' new:

Improvements:

Subtitle sync fixed
Some users experienced subtitles not syncing to voiceovers properly. This should now be fixed for good. The game now uses the actual playback position from the sound card instead of an arbitrary timer.
If you experienced desync in the previous version, please give the new version a try and let us know in the comments if it's working ok now on your PC.

Support for full text in subtitles
Several players pointed out that if you're playing the game on a language other than English or German, then some subtitles often pass way too quickly to read them. With this new option you can now see the entire subtitle at once instead of split into 2-3 smaller segments.

Additionally, you can now opt to manually click to advance subtitles, a feature that existed when voiceovers were turned off, but now works in combitation with voiceovers (but only if full text mode is selected). The text will stay on until you click on it, so you can read it at your leasure.

Support for hiding subtitles
Due to popular demand, you can now opt to play the game without subtitles.
However, this will work only if you have chosen English voices and are playing the English version of the game (Or German voiceovers + german version).

Fixes:

Improved Russian translation
Thanks to steam user uka7777, The russian translation has been improved! Over the years we addded more features and thus - more texts, which we had to translate using Google translate. Which is, well, less than ideal translation-wise.
If anyone else is willing to help out with inspecting and/or fixing other translations, contact us at support@cateia.com :)

Fixed game lock in Schminkell 7
Thanks to steam user Kuulintu, we managed to find and fix a problem in Schminkell 7 where you could hard-lock the game up if you played in a certain order.

- The tutorial can now be played in local cooperative mode.
- A new button has been added in chest menus (left joystick click with controller) that will allow players to automatically transfer items in their inventory to the chest which match items already in the chest.
- The item sort function now also automatically stacks identical items.
- Improvements have been made to camera movement during the tutorial.
- Fixed a bug in local multiplayer mode that caused dialogue to finish if the other played pressed the ESC button.
- Fixed a bug in local cooperative mode that could cause dialogue of characters player 2 interacts with to appear on player 1’s side of the screen.
- Now, in local cooperative mode, characters use Player 2’s name when Player 2 interacts with them, instead of Player 1’s.
- Fixed a bug that caused selected items in decorative mode to get automatically placed when dialogue starts.
- Fixed a bug in cooperative mode that could cause players to face the wrong way during the tree-chopping animation if the other player was also chopping a tree at the same time.
- Fixed a bug that prevented player 2 from being able to cross the overhead bridge at the blacksmith’s in the city.
- Fixed a bug that could cause player 2 to be able to move while the character creator is open.
- Fixed visual bugs in the cave.
- Translations have been updated.

2024.1 Patch 13

Dear captains,

There is a new patch ready for version 2024.1.

① Localization
• Japanese localization update by かねのもうじゃ.

② Simulation
• Added periscope and UZO graticule i l l u m i n a t i o n in a dark weather.

③ Technical
• Fix: Resolved incompatibility with Intel graphic processing units that was leading to various artifacts being displayed near ports.

④ Missions
• Multiple patrol assignments with the same destination are no longer offered at the same time.
• Added objective markers that point wolfpack formation spots. Please note, that they will appear only for wolfpacks formed after the update, but the coordinates can be also read from the HQ message saved in the journal.
• Fix: Japanese submarines could sometimes remain permanently at the rendezvous spot after a mission.
• Fix: It's no longer possible to change torpedo run depth during tutorial #3. Instead, their depth is automatically set to 1.5 meters.
• Fix: Dirty interiors modifier may no longer appear during tutorials.
• Fix: Reworked tutorial #4, so that all officers remain selectable during its duration. Previously they were becoming unselectable to prevent assignment to stations that were later explained how to use.

⑤ UI
• Adjusted how cursor highlights work in the main menu settings.
• Added a loading hint that explains that navigator may cease to work in publicly known areas like ports, as it's not possible to get lost near them.
• Fix: Gazala mission was lacking an objective description at the mission selection screen.

⑥ World
• Fix: Resolved issue with Italian fishing boats spawning in German ports and later becoming hostile after Italian surrender, causing entire port to become alert.
• Fix: Brest submarine pen wasn't visible on the world map.
• Fix: After undocking and docking at a different slot of a submarine pen, warehouse worker and a recruitment officer could duplicate.
• Fix: Brest submarine pen wasn't already built in the late starting scenarios that had all other submarine pens built.

⑦ Graphics
• Fix: NPC U-boats weren't affected by the ambient lighting present inside submarine pens and were looking a bit out of the place, if they docked there.

⑧ Achievements
• Fix: Battleship Hunter achievement change from Patch 12 was rarely working in practice.
• Fix: Researcher and Safe and Sound achievements could be obtained in campaigns that started at a later date than those mentioned in their descriptions.

⑨ General
• Time compression is now limited to x12 during torpedo launching, since higher time compression could decrease salvo accuracy, especially if FPS wasn't high enough.
• Fix: If certain steps involving saving and reloading were performed, it was possible for a single shell or rocket damage to multiply many times and become unreasonably high.
• Fix: If scroll at the screen edges option is enabled, the map is no longer being scrolled when the game's window doesn't have an active focus or the cursor is outside the window.

Yours,
DWS
