Dear captains,

There is a new patch ready for version 2024.1.

- Fix: Officer using AA gun on Type II U-boats could become invisible for the time of using it in certain circumstances.
- Fix: In rare cases, it wasn't possible to assign an officer to perform a repair, if it was previously being repaired by a sailor. This fix corrects that problem in the affected game states as well.
- Fix: Sailor could sometimes enter a state, where he stood idle near the position where he stopped to work and wasn't going to rest, even though he was tired.
- Fix: On Type VII U-boats, if officer was assigned to a helmsman station, that was being already occupied by a sailor, he sometimes wasn't walking to the work place and was standing still instead.
- Fix: Increased tolerance of a galley to water in the compartment on Type VII U-boats.
- Fix: The external hatch could in a specific case not be closed once the last person left the deck. Once this happened, the dive orders were ineffective, because assigned officers were waiting for the hatch to be closed before flooding the tanks.

- Added a fade out animation to a loading screen.
- Fix: Compass tool was clickable, even when it was behind something else, for example a menu dropdown.
- Fix: "Vacation" modifier to discipline was renamed to "Last vacation", to make it clearer what it means.
- Fix: Warehouse inventory screen couldn't be scrolled with a mouse wheel, when the cursor was above the window's background. It was working only when the cursor was above one of the items.
- Fix: Assignment about destroying oil tanks near Haifa was having a wrong description in German.

- Fix: Combat music could stop to play in some cases when it should be playing as usual.

- Fix: Save system fixes.

Yours,
DWS
