UBOAT Patch 2025.1 Notes- January 31, 2025
Localization:
- Ukrainian localization update by vovanvoks.
- Russian localization update by Hard.
Sinking credit:
- Added a new realism setting called “Sinking credit requirements”, with three presets. It determines if it’s a requirement to confirm sinking to get a credit for it. It also specifies, if there is a reward for damaging a ship or not. This setting currently has no effect on the overall realism percentages to avoid affecting ongoing playthroughs.
- From now on, it’s possible to confirm sinking also by interacting with a previously sunk ship’s remains on the sea or by having a hydrophone operator working at the station when the wreck is still making noise after sinking.
- Fix (regression of 2025.1 Patch 6): It was possible to deal insignificant damage to a merchant ship and then order its crew to evacuate to be able to report it as seriously damaged.
- Fix (regression of 2025.1 Patch 6): Sank merchant ship GRT could be not counted towards campaign objectives in some saved game states started before Patch 6. This problem was going away after a few weeks passed in the game.
UI:
- Fix: A wrong tooltip was appearing, after hovering the cursor above “Periscope magnification mode” setting in the in-game settings.
- Fix: It was sometimes possible to select an operation in the HQ slot that was meant to be automatically managed by the HQ.
- Fix: The launch date of the first U-Boat and the career start date of the first commander on the newly added summary screens were usually wrong.
Map:
- Improved torpedo salvo visualization on the map to more closely match the actual path that torpedoes take after launching them, when the gyro angle is high and they have to make a long turn.
- Fix: Map contacts were sometimes visible in map views that shouldn’t have them displayed, for example assignment selection.
Crew:
- Fix: Stress on the ship is now zeroed after using a quick return to port or starting a vacation.
Ships:
- Fix: A propeller and a rudder of T2 tankers were remaining parented to a wrong half of the ship, once they’ve been broken in half.
- Fix: Corrections to propeller foam effect on Bogue-Class, Illustrious-Class, C3 and Isles-Class.
- Fix: “Money” item wasn’t appearing in merchant ship cargo holds and wreckages that were meant to contain them.
Missions:
- Fix: Torpedo launchers UI is now automatically closed, if it was left open, whenever tutorial asks to select one of the officers.
- Fix: Devices that are used in the tutorials are now automatically repaired, if they are damaged, to avoid issues.
- Fix: Compartment evacuations ordered by the player are now cancelled during tutorials, when they affect a compartment with a device that needs to be used.
