Dear captains,

There is a new patch ready for version 2024.1.

Localization:

- French localization update by FvJ and Placebo.
- Russian localization update by Hard.

Crew:

- Fix: If a button for viewing tuberculosis event was quickly clicked several times, before a transition to a new view was over, the captain was becoming indefinitely blocked on a bunk of an ill sailor.
- Fix: Officers could sometimes become permanently idle on the deck after a decoration cutscene. They were blocking diving in such state. This fix will also repair this problem in existing game states that already have this problem.
- Fix: Increased tolerance of a helmsman station and a galley to water in a compartment, especially on Type II.

UI:

- Fix: Once a screen faded out to black after clicking a quick return to port button, it was sometimes still possible to click on UI elements, even though they weren't visible.
- Fix: Further adjustments to a transition to a character screen. Among other things, there was often an unnecessary deselection sound effect played when it was being opened.

World:

- Fix: Improved defined imports and exports of Norwegian ports, especially Narvik as they were in a conflict with its description in a tooltip (this change takes effect in new games only).

General:

- Decreased the price of explosives by 25%.
- Fix: Slightly improved animation of officers looking at the map in the HQ, to make it more seamlessly looped.
- Fix: Reworked an interaction with a Japanese submarine, to handle a case when the U-boat is full and it's not possible to load mission cargo.

Yours,
DWS
