Quick point release to fix the last few issues with the new GUI as well as adding depth scaling for the Conditions panel and perhaps fixing bug where capsized vessels could still move/attack.

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. When you run the game the version number should read version 1.07e.

Version 1.08 Beta Available

Version 1.08 is now available. Contains what should be the final fix for broken Action Reports in Land Strike missions. Land Strike missions no longer have a circle to fire TLAMs into, simply fire and they are counted as a success once the weapon is away. Also contains shortcuts and filters to aid in searching through ship lists as well as new aircraft, weapons and a re-balance of the sensors and submarine noise levels.

To Opt Into 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. When you run the game the version number should read version 1.08.

I really look forward to this update.  Finally something more than a single sub vs. entire Soviet navy.  :)

Opting into the beta will likely break any mods or custom content so be sure to disable your override folder.

==============================
Major Changes
- Start of combat sonarman greatly improved. Please check for any issues with initial contact assignment with detected or lost contacts, duplicate "S" contacts etc.

Confirmed still crashing: We'll roll out a fix in the next day or so.

- Subsequent missions could crash due to assignment of neutral flags in the previous mission. Please check multiple missions work fine in the same play session.

The devs react quickly and they listen to the community. This game still has a lot of potential but it's much better than it used to be. One thing I'd like to see is mane departing and mooring at a pier. Or at least coming close to it. I'm sure it will come one day.
