Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts News

Hello again Admirals,

We continue to optimize the game, offering this new update:

Minor Update v1.3.9.5

• Fixed old, quite rare issue that players occasionally reported, which when it happened it would create invalid saved ships in the custom battle interface. Those falsely invalid ships would be irreparable, unless deleted. If you have such ships saved, they should be working now.
  
• Fixed issue which could make the sunk Transport ships to not provide VP.
  
• Fixed a few minor issues in African provinces, causing them to not change highlight color when conquered.
  
• Fixed a rare issue which could cause a battle to not load.
  
• Fixed issue that made dissolved nations to continue to appear in diplomatic actions.
  
• Fixed issue which could sometimes make a ship enter the refit interface without calculating the weight savings of newer technologies. This would be noticeable when you attempted to refit a ship that was constructed many years before, and its initial weight was exactly the same.
  
• Target Switch/Aiming logic optimizations which should make the targeting not only more consistent but also less consuming in fps.
  
• Auto-Design further optimizations.
  
• Improved visually the battle landscapes in lighting and other aspects.
  
• Ship models base acceleration in combat slightly increased (In various occasions it would be lower than it should realistically be, making tactical maneuvers less important).
  

Enjoy!

Hello everyone,

Here is a small update, improving further the game. Please read:

Minor Update v1.3.9.4

• Fixed various inconsistencies in the refit logic. The refit times should now be accurate in most if not all occasions. Please note that when the shipyard limit becomes exceeded, the refit times will increase, so this is not an error but a feature.
  
• Fixed error in the price calculation of discounted mothballed ships.
  
• Fixed minor error in the calculation of HE shells amount.
  
• Fixed a few issues found in the mounts of Hood towers and their variants (different max. calibers allowed per side).
  
• Fixed minor issue related with the custom renaming of ships.
  
• Reduced growth of crew pool so that crew losses become more important.
  
• Fine tuning in aiming mechanics to be more dynamic. Accuracy should grow faster now.
  

Enjoy!

Hello all,

A small update that fixes and improves aspects of the game is now available for you. Please read:

Hotfix Update v1.3.9.2

• Fixed a bug that could cause a campaign’s turn to freeze.
  
• Fixed an issue with the barbette logic causing a different weight calculation in ship design and in the final ship product, resulting in invalid ships for building. This fix may affect your campaign's saved designs which will need a refit to become buildable.
  
• Fixed old problem with power projection update, that could create either inconsistent, not updated calculations on fleet’s power projection or adding power to ships that are not active. This fix addresses issues in the calculation of logistics, blockade power, raiding power etc. and should make things overall more expected and consistent in the campaign’s gameplay.
  
• Fixed error that could cause inconsistent VP result after a battle.
  
• Fixed an issue that could cause unnecessary relations’ decrease with other nations.
  
• Fine tuning in aim progress which should now increase a little faster.
  
• Various UI and localization minor fixes.
  

Enjoy!

Uploaded Repaired version including the following:
- Fixed temporary turn lag problem caused by unoptimized fixes for Power Projection calculations.
- Fixed some issues of Refit mechanics: Potential wrong refit time calculations, Auto-Refit potential ineffectiveness causing also turn lags.
- Fixed minor issues in Alliance logic.
- Fixed a minor issue in VP calculation which though could create wrong outcome (Defeat instead of Victory).

Hello Admirals,

Here is a list of things that out new small update offers in order to make the game more stable and more enjoyable:

*Hotfix Update v1.3.9.1*

• Improved the campaign relations system, so that when a player signs a peace treaty, the allies will no longer automatically end the war as well, causing no reparations to be granted. This was one of the most annoying issues reported lately by you, so please check that now all works as expected. You will have to end each war with a nation separately, and you will earn or provide separate reparations accordingly.
  
• Fixed critical error causing Campaign turn to freeze during “Building” message, caused by the minefield generation system.
  
• Improved Campaign AI logic to scrap obsolete ships more efficiently. This will aid the AI to have more effective fleets and better economies, overall.
  
• Adjusted Battle AI to fight closer.
  
• Adjusted aim progress to increase faster.
  
• Fixed bug that caused “Trade Error” message. Please let us know if you still get this, better on a new campaign.
  
• Fixed bug that applied Beam/Draught maximized penalties from zero setting.
  
• Fixed a minor problem of research tree unlocking Heavy cruisers of 23,000 tons.
  
• Fixed some minor UI issues.
  

Enjoy!
