Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter News

Greetings fellow captains!

Thank you for your feedback and support during yesterday's launch of Destroyer into Early Access!

Despite our meticulous testing some issues went undetected and there was rough sailing for some. With this first hotfix we aim at the most severe issues that were encountered, especially the black screen block upon launch and after missions.
Also we addressed the issues with widescreen display setups. Please understand that this is not the final solution, but it should make the game playable while we further look into this. To be honest, we underestimated the public demand and related effort in regards to this topic when prioritizing features for the Early Access release. Our sincere apologies to those affected.

This hotfix contains:

• Video conversion to built-in Unity codecs.
  
• Additional fade-ins and fade-outs disabled when playing videos.
  
• Fixed black screen after mission completion.
  
• Auto-adjustment to Widescreen resolution displays.
  

Of course we don’t stop with fixes and improvements here and continue to monitor your feedback while also conducting further internal testing and polishing in order to bring you the next patch asap. As a friendly reminder: Our [https://discord.gg/Be6EcNYe]Discord is always open and a great way to reach us directly.

Thanks again and good hunting!
Team Iron Wolf Studio & Daedalic Entertainment

[h3]Fire up your sonar, Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter is releasing into Steam Early Access today![/h3]

Take full control of a Fletcher-class destroyer in Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter - an innovative, cross-genre simulation game. Partake in thrilling procedurally generated battles with randomized weather, time of day and enemy attack patterns, allowing for a virtually infinite number of battle scenarios.




"Destroyer" combines the thrill of commanding an anti-submarine warship with the tactical challenge of managing a whole escort group protecting convoys against relentless wolfpacks. We went to great lengths to appeal to fans of realism and immersion, at the same time offering a great experience for beginners in the genre as well! Whether a military sim veteran or a fledgling captain, immerse yourself in a cinematic naval warfare experience and feel the thrill of the hunt!




To make this experience as realistic as possible, there’s over 300 voice reports recorded by both professional voice actors and navy cadets and experts for top-of-the-line immersion and situational awareness. You’ll be using authentic instruments and attack procedures from within a detailed Fletcher-class destroyer model with 5 locations meticulously recreated in state-of-the art 3D: the bridge, the combat information center, the sonar room, the gun director, and the lookouts’ station.



Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter is out now in Early Access!
Early Access, for us means, that we are making a promise and keep working further on the title, on both the content and polishing side.

That's why it is only natural, that we will keep you up-to-date with all the newest details right here in the Steam Forums, via Blogpost, or - if you want to get in contact real close with us, why don't you join our Discord server right "here"

[h2]Dear Destroyer fans,[/h2]

Things have been rather quiet for some time, but now we can finally share with you the single most important piece of news since the very announcement of Destroyer! Iron Wolf Studio is proud to announce the beginning of collaboration with Daedalic Entertainment, the new publisher of Destroyer: the U-boat Hunter! That’s right! We are very excited to share the news with you, and we are confident that the expertise and publishing support that Daedalic Entertainment can contribute to the project will allow Destroyer to reach new heights and appeal to broader audiences.

At the same time, it has become apparent that in order to realize the new scope of the game that we are now able to deliver thanks to Daedalic’s Support, the release will have to be postponed until Q3 2022. We are sorry to break the news to you so late in the process, but only now are we sure that we will be able to introduce new features into the game that would have been otherwise unfeasible.



Speaking of which, Destroyer will receive a plethora of new and exciting features, including an all-new tactical mode that will vastly reduce the learning curve for casual players! This special mode will transform the game into a third-person perspective & RTS hybrid, focusing on presenting the convoy battles in the most intuitive and spectacular way!

[h2]Just to make things clear...[/h2]

The tactical mode WILL NOT impact or simplify the simulation mode of the game in any way, so all our hardcore simulation fans can rest assured that the experience that they are waiting for will be as realistic and as deep as they have come to expect (or even better!). The tactical mode, simply put, will be the same demanding game, but presented from a more casual and easily digestible perspective, allowing even less experienced naval warfare enthusiasts to dive right into the fray. The two modes will be completely separate, so, in the end, it will be like getting two great games at the price of one!



Please stay tuned for more information and new materials, as we are now stepping up our efforts in a bid to deliver an even more polished and complete product. With Daedalic Entertainment joining forces with Iron Wolf Studio, we are confident that Destroyer: the U-boat Hunter will deliver a truly unforgettable experience, and will take its rightful place as the most exciting destroyer simulator ever made.
