Dear captains,

There is a new patch available for update 2026.1. Changelog:

- Fix: After installing an anti-radar coated snorkel, the boat upgrade UI was still claiming that the normal snorkel was installed instead.
- Fix: Some bulkheads weren't closed after issuing an order to close all bulkheads.
- Fix: Crew pathing issues with some bulkheads closed.

- Fix: Type VII NPC U-boats had a gap in their 3D geometry.

- Fix: If a commemorative plaque was earned in a flotilla base, while playing with a U-boat that had a tiger and boat or clover emblem, then the plaque wasn't appearing and only the boat name was written where the plaque should be.

- Fix: A placeholder message in Seehund distant patrol.

- Fix: Crash while talking with port officers in certain saves.

Yours,
DWS
