Ships At Sea News

Releasing the next patch for Ships At Sea! This update should bring significant improvements.

• Disabled cargo from savegame (This requires some additional work and will be fixed soon.)
  
• Fuel usage will now be based on in-game time rather than real time.
  
• Fixed problem where loading a save game would cause FPS to drop to almost zero (This was due to a problem with cargo losing references and spawning thousands of objects, which significantly impacted performance.)
  
• Improved the crane to correctly remove the cargo from the cargo area after loading it onto the ship.
  

PLEASE NOTE:
Cargo missions are currently disabled in the savegame. Please make sure to complete any cargo missions before saving, as they will be lost otherwise. We are working on improving how cargo and missions are saved and hope to have this issue resolved soon!

Thank you for your continued support and feedback. Set sail and enjoy the latest improvements!

We've just released another hotfix as part of our ongoing efforts to improve Ships At Sea. This patch addresses several issues, please see below:

• Fixed a possible crash when changing input bindings
  
• Fixed a engine bug related to D3D12 residency management that caused a crash
  
• Reduced max waves during normal weather and during storm (Temporary fix)
  

Thank you for your continued support and feedback. We appreciate your patience as we work to make the game better with each update.
