The 1.23 update is out now! Go to the information and downloads page to get the update!
Changes:
* Added function to generate side views of ships (thanks to Gary Childress for providing ship elements to use for this).
* Number of ships selected in ship list shown at top right.
* Multi halt/resume construction of submarines enabled.
* Centerline torpedo tubes now allowed for ships up to 3500 tons displacement.
* Build requirement and fulfilment values will now not include ships under rebuilding.
* Added tech transfer from opponent during war (captured equipment etc...).
* BC cannot be built until a nation has researched two levels of ship design. (This is to prevent too early appearance of "battlecruisers", which could previously be built even in the legacy fleet).
* Increased VP penalty for avoiding battles.
* Added more escorting ships to support forces.
* Added option for support forces.
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed a bug introduced in 1.22 where V turret could not fire sometimes when it should.
* Fixed wrong nation in message for patrolling ships sunk by subs.

Not sure if it's just me, but the 1.23 update doesn't run for me -- I've downloaded it, but after double clicking nothing happens, the installer never pops up. The file is 4,365,346 bytes large, and oddly enough also doesn't have the Compatibility tab when I right-click it and invoke Properties. No idea if the download got corrupted on my end or it's like that on the server. For what little it's worth I tried fetching it a few times, with the same result.

was trying to mount Centerline torpedo tubes for fun - am i missing something? I presume you still need the 'Above water tubes on CL' tech, do you have that? |

I have tested the download and it checks out just fine from both my home PC and another ISP - the 'size' you show is correct for the file, so I suspect your PC is simply not allowing the installer to run for some reason.
Right-click on the installer, select "Properties" - if you see an "Unblock" button click on the checkbox by it to unblock the file. Also, try to run the installer from a non-system folder (i.e. not the "program files" or "windows" folders), that may help.

Hello,

I've unblocked the file previously from the prompt, but tried it again with the "Unblock" button from Properties, on a new download. Unfortunately, the effect is the same -- the Properties window is still missing the Compatibility tab, and when I run it the installed window never shows up. This is on Windows 10 64-bit. Previous updates (and the full version installer) worked without any problems, so I really have no idea what's with this one. edit: the installer worked after I disabled the anti-virus program (Avast Security) The anti-virus wasn't raising any actual alarms when it was active so not sure what's with that, but there you have it. |

That side view generator is excellent. Really helps bring the ships to life in a way that the top view was missing I think. Bravo Zulu to Gary Childress and the developers for integrating it into the game. Thanks to both. Really enjoy this game.

After you start building a ship, right click on it in either the under construction or active ship lists, there will be a button that says "Change ship picture" hover over it, and there will be a button that pops up to the side of the list that says generate picture, click on it to open the generator. Once you are done, the generated image will apply to all ships of the class.

Cool upate. However this feature ...
* BC cannot be built until a nation has researched two levels of ship design. (This is to prevent too early appearance of "battlecruisers", which could previously be built even in the legacy fleet)...
... might be hindering when it comes to building historic legacy fleets for a certain period of time (e.g. 1900-1918)?
