Cold Waters
Version 1.09 Beta Now Available

To opt in to the beta:
Right click the Cold Waters in Steam library, go to properties and you should have new "BETAS" tab added, then use the pulldown to select the beta you would like to opt into -leave the early access code empty- and the new update should download.

Coming Soon - New Content
We've been busy working on Cold Waters and over the next few months expect to see new content being added to the base game. The plan (subject to change) is to have all this in sometime around the New Year.
As a thank you to all who supported Cold Waters and made it such a success, this additional content will be added free to the base game.
Feel free to discuss this new content here:

Version 1.07c Beta Now Available
Version 1.07c is a major re-working of the combat user interface and finishing of crew voices.
Major features:
Toolbars - contain buttons for just about every keyboard command.
Tooltips - reduce the need to memorise keys, making it easier for new players to get a handle on the controls of their submarine.
Set Course/Depth - controls to automatically bring your submarine to a specific heading or depth (including periscope depth).
Expandable Log - scroll through all messages received in combat.
Crew Voices - detailed crew voices with volume slider now available under Options.
To opt into the beta:
Right click Cold Waters in your Steam library, go to properties and you should have select the"BETAS" tab, then use the pulldown to select the beta you would like to opt into -leave the early access code empty- and the new update should download. When you run the game the version number should read version 1.07c.
Version 1.06b Released
Version 1.06b is now available.
Crew voices (work in progress) have been added but disabled by default in version 1.05b. To enable them simply open default/hud/default.txt and change LogVoiceVolume=0 to a value between 0-1 for volume.
Major changes:
Torpedo tubes jamming is a little more generous, tubes can now jam at 20+ knots.
Wire breakage re-worked.
Found the last (we hope) of the AI submarine diving bugs, so now there should be no more diving into the sea floor or past crush depth by Soviet subs.
Torpedo homing logic now uses "lag" rather than "lead" logic so that targets being homed on cannot be outside the sensor cone.
Sinking vessels now become less of a target for homing torpedoes over time.
Improved some issues caused by terrain chunk drawing.
Full list of changes can be found at the end of this thread:

Version 1.05b Released

Crew voices (work in progress) have been added but disabled by default in version 1.05b. To enable them simply open default/hud/default.txt and change LogVoiceVolume=0 to a value between 0-1 for volume.
1.05b addresses major combat issues, including sunk vessels continuing to use sensors as well as improves campaign stability. It also improves the playing of insertion and land strike missions.
