RTW3: v1.00.88 Public Beta Now Available

Post by MaximKI »

Hello everyone,

There's a new public beta update installer available. Click HERE to download.

For Steam users, you can switch to it by going to RTW3 in your Steam Library, right-clicking on it, choosing Properties -> Betas -> then choosing the latest beta branch from the drop-down list and allowing Steam to update your game. If it updates correctly, you should see the latest beta version listed as your version in-game on the bottom right.

Note: If you have any issues with loading older saves, please let us know.

What's New in Version 1.00.88:

User Interface
• Fixed a bug with actions on officers not updating the list.
• Removed an unnecessary "ships selected" text.
• Improved restoring the main screen to maximized on starting the game.
• The game will now remember the width of the left panel in the battle screen and the width of the left panel in the map tab of the main screen.

Bug Fixes
• Fixed a bug with zooming in on Field Batteries generating error messages.
• Fixed a bug in the Fleet Exercise setup screen that caused an error message when editing an independent division.

What's New in Version 1.00.86:

User Interface
• Restored the selected ships count label.
• Added filter on division type to fleet organization tab.
• Fixed unreadable oil locations in dark mode.
• Fixed sorting in submarine list.
• Fixed some problems with special characters. (We appreciate feedback on this, especially if you are running an asian language OS).
• Fleet organization tab: Edited division will be made visible in the list after most operations.

Officers
• Added the possibility to rename officers. You will see the updated officer name after switching back to the officer tab.

What's New in Version 1.00.85:

• Fixed some UI issues while editing ship superstructures.
• Fixed a problem with some visuals from older ship templates not loading properly.

Thanks for this. Do I need to install v1.00.84 first? I'm currently on v1.00.81.

Yes, please install 1.00.84 first, as it's a full game remaster installer - essentially the new baseline for the game. After, you can install 1.00.85.

Secondary gun duplication when moving around the 5 -port secondary slot (and possibly others, haven't tested everything myself) still exists on 1.00.85

Since I am logged in for downloading the new Version.
I encountered an error in the .81 version, that might be still present.

It happened during a naval exercise in peace times.
A specific ship class could not be found (left or right click). My guess - dont have the savegames - that ship was under rebuild at that moment.

Is this reproducible from a save file?
