World Ship Simulator Patch Notes — January 15, 2016
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hello everyone,
We have a few fixes for todays update and a couple of new additions. We know that some of you have been wanting to drive any ship so what we have done is added a rental system which allows you to use the ship for 5 missions at a much lower cost than the purchase price.
We have also improved the radar so all ships now appear on the radar. Full change log below along with some known issues
Changes:
- Rental System - Ships can now be rented from the ship store for use on 5 missions at a time at a much lower cost than the purchase price
- Improved Radar
Fixes
- Fixed the frequent stuttering issue
- Fixed an issue where graphics would create an issue when set to 'fast' quality
- Fixed an issue where missions could not be completed
- Fixed towing
- Fixed an issue where players might re spawn at an incorrect location
There are also a few issues that we are aware of and are looking to fix and upload a new build.
- Missions not completing correctly: Whenever you complete a mission after clicking ok on the 'Mission Complete' window you will receive the points and money as normal but the Mission timer will keep running and the '!' symbol with the mission info will remain on screen, if you try to enter a harbour you will be warned that you are abandoning the mission even though you have already finished it and received the rewards. Only seems to happen on old saves.
- Bridge controls shaking during first 30 seconds: There is a strange issue that occurs during the first 30 seconds of gameplay after loading up a game. I think this issue is related to the ocean scrolling and the floating point operations precision fix; after loading up the game all the interior bridge controls will shake around and flash like they used to in older builds, but after the ocean scrolls this stops and all the controls are fixed and do not flash.
- Some Jerky movement 1st person movement
- Sea scrolling – This can cause other issues such as not being able to interact with the world map correctly and fast travelling out of bounds
- Renting costs nothing – Renting ships from the ship store doesn’t cost any money
