2026.1 Patch 19

May 14

Dear captains,

There is a new patch available for update 2026.1. Changelog:

Type IX:

- Fix: Conning tower damages were sometimes rendered as see-through holes with nothing underneath.
- Fix: Resolved issues with conning tower hatches being hard to highlight in FPP.

Missions:

- Fix: Issue with some missions not being marked as complete. They could keep weather permanently locked in a fixed state. Added code that retroactively fixes this problem in old saves.
- Fix: If Python was sunk by HMS Dorsetshire, then it wasn't possible to complete the objective about taking survivors from it on board - the objective wasn't progressing after rescuing them.

Graphics:

- Fix: Volumetric lights outside U-boat were changing their intensity a bit, depending on the color of lighting inside the U-boat.
- Fix: Screen no longer becomes brighter during story sequences when red lighting is enabled inside the U-boat. It was making some of them overexposed.
- Fix: Patched code path that could technically cause the purple eye issue.

UI:

- Fix: Bearing display in binoculars could be frozen (or missing), if there was an officer assigned to UZO and we clicked the manual mode button on the portrait of another officer who was performing observation at the bridge.

General:

- Decreased depth at which U-boats can receive radio transmissions.
- Fix: Clicking on the "Wait for convoy" button now opens up the new UI for waiting. It works more reliably than the old code that was still wired there, that could make the convoy appear around the U-boat.

Yours,
DWS

Learn the details of the shadow zone that are not easily accessible without experimentation or looking it up in the code. And since we're diving deep anyway, I've also added some information about depth charges.

2026.1 Patch 18

May 11

Dear captains,

There is a new patch available for update 2026.1. Changelog:

Type IX:

- Fix: Ensured compatibility of camouflages with the conning towers.
- Fix: In existing saves, the issue with missing geometry under the stern loading hatch for loading torpedoes was still occurring.
- Fix: Bearing display was frozen on the additional periscope in Type IXA.

Type VII:

- Fix: Resolved an issue with extra torpedo slots in the bow torpedo room in old saves.
- Fix: Resolved an issue with two torpedoes visible on the sky in old saves.

Ships:

- Fix: Decreased evacuation thresholds on Dido-class, the crew was staying on the ship even when it was leaned quite a lot to the side.

Missions:

- Fix: If transmission from HQ after meeting Atlantis was not received in time in the Cape Town patrol, then the mission could become stuck.
- Fix: If time compression was used at one point in the story in Enigma mission, then the screen could fully fade to black until escape was pressed.

General:

- Fix (regression of Patch 17): The captain was ordering to stop the engines when first goods were ordered in a port.

Yours,
DWS

This game is great. I love it so much. Its a light, more micromanagement of crew oriented alternative to Silent Hunter. But this game has a lot of issues that need to be fixed before I can confidently recommend the game.

The workshop mods for this game do fix a lot of the issues (which is some Bathesda ass development), but there is one bug that desperately needs to be fixed. And that is the mission board not populating sometimes. There's been a couple of campaigns I was doing where I had to start over because the missions would not populate.

A really great submarine simulator.
The feeling of sinking entire fleets alone or
with a wolf pack and escaping before the warships catch you is pretty awesome,
and overall it's a lot of fun to act tactically.

This game is very fun, however I cannot recommend in its current state. It is buggy, and I'm encountering frequent crashes, even on the lowest settings.

It is a shame, because I really enjoy Uboat. I will check back again in a few months.

Updating mods

There are some good mods that continue to work version after version even though their authors don't update them, which always generates the warning message when starting the game. There is a way to fix this with a little effort on our part (the other opti...
