Update 2022.1: Patch 8

Dear skippers,

There is a new patch available for 2022.1. It fixes some of the most common issues reported so far. Changelog:

[h3]Graphics:[/h3]
- Fix: Leading officer's hair was clipping through his cap.

[h3]UI:[/h3]
- Added tooltips to light color change actions available in the scene and in TAB menu.
- Added a button to the TAB menu for toggling alarm on and off.
- Added description to the adjust ballast action on the valves.
- Fix: Item's parameters weren't disappearing along with its description after moving cursor away in the storage UI.
- Fix: Torpedo solution making progress is no longer displayed next to the target on the contacts list, if it's targeted by a gun, rather than periscope, UZO or hydrophone.

[h3]Ports:[/h3]
- Aesthetical improvements to Wilhelmshaven.
- Small fixes to Bergen.

[h3]Interactions:[/h3]
- Fix: Interaction with a crashed aircraft now disappears after taking its entire crew on board.
- Fix: It's no longer possible to press buttons during a story sequence (for example merchant ship inspection), when a new scene is still being loaded in the background.

[h3]Crew:[/h3]
- Red lighting no longer decreases crew noise. It was an accidental change in 2022.1.
- Fix: Emergency tanks blowing order was missing on the valves after ballast was adjusted at least once.

[h3]Simulation:[/h3]
- Distant contacts now disappear instantly from the map without a timeout, when the device with which they were observed is no longer in use.

[h3]Technical:[/h3]
- Fix: If player entered a port area and quickly left it just before the port has been loaded, the port would still load and would never disappear from the scene afterwards.
- Fix: Camera was shaking excessively when u-boat was being hit by small projectiles.

Yours,
DWS
