Sorry it took some time to do this. The new file format is actually very similar to the old, but with some changes. I enclose a file description that is based on one of the old style files. Hope this explains it. Please ask if something is unclear.

v1.00.40
When reloading a savegame, enemy Coastal batteries are reloading at the location of the leading division of the fleet.

This is a bug that I first noticed in a much earlier build, so I presume that it is already a known bug. The main issue is that it persists in the current beta build.

I ...

Squarehead has it right!

Just thought of more.

1. Being able to set waypoints (heading and speed) instead of having to hunt around your squadrons, select and click every few rounds. The more squadrons, the more fiddly this gets.

1a. Battle generator could perhaps set the initial waypoints instead of just an initial ...

Not sure if this is the right part of the forum for these, but here goes anyway!

First up: fascinating, engrossing and absorbing game--well done! This is the best game I've played for years.

After playing 1890 scenario a few times, I came up with some observations. Looks like game features are ...

Should be like Nikel says.

If you save the game during a battle, it will specify the save path in the save confirmation message.

I am not sure I understand the division 10, 11, 12 and so on. Could you describe more and/or give steps to replicate?

Very observant! This does indeed seem to be the case. It probably has to do with rounding effects when ammo expended is deducted from the turrets. I will see if it can be fixed. Thanks!

A valid point, but it would have been complicated to check the water depths all over the globe. Instead, minefields will primarily occur near bases and coastal artillery. But admittedly, in some cases they appear in unlikely places.

I can do adescription of the file format, I am just a little busy now, so it might take a little time.

Could you describe your use case? Perhaps there are easier ways to solve your rquest?

There seems to be a write error in one of the files. If you try opening the file "DesignFiles0.des" in notepad and then just save it without changing anything, that fixes it for me.

Had this same problem again today, under the public beta, so still an issue. I had the problem with all the ships being deselected and still available when I only chose one to be deselected, and canceled out of the fleet exercise gen and started over, but still got a catastrophic series of errors ...

Raiders are half as likely to suffer internment/scuttling in home waters.

Thanks, there was a bug that led to BC being not counted.

Re the battlecruiser strategy. This is a bug, battlecruisers should require 4 levels of ship design research before you can build them. Thanks for pointing this out.

Have investigated this, but cannot reproduce it.

Thanks for your detailed feedback!

Will take a look at this as time permits.

Behaviour 1 is to some extent intended, reflecting for example the British concentration on the crippled Blücher or later similarly with the Wiesbaden. Though admittedly it can be somewhat exaggerated at times, and could ...

Solved by matrix support, very efficient![:)]

Thanks!

I don't Think so. I have only one Matrix account and one steam account. And in any case, the steam key was generated allright, the problem was when I tried to use it at Steam.
