Sadly it seems I now crash in campaign battles as soon as I move my mouse. Anyone else?
EDIT: Apparently also if I don't move my mouse. Regular battles and previously saved campaign battles play fine, just when I start a new one.
Further Edit: Also only seems to be crashing from the German side.

Version 1.008 Release notes from the SES website:
Build 1.008
*Added user controlled retry capability for update downloads.
*Added (Time Limit) indication to end of battle dialog titles when battles are ended due to edition based time limits.
*Added logic to ensure that ships in ports after battle are always considered "anchored", and able to receive ammunition and replacement crew.
*Corrected a deadlock issue that could occur during campaign games, if an event launched a dialog just after a battle had been spawned.
*Minor speed optimization in large battle games.

Same here. Kudos to SES for working hard though, I'm sure they'll resolve things in a jiffy.Just sent several bug reports.

Yeah it crashed on me too when campaign battle started and it kept saying U27 struck a mine over and over again until it crashed out. I thought maybe the saved campaign from 1.007 was incompatible with 1.008 so I started a new campaign. My first battle went through no problems and the HSF sunk the entire Harwich Force. But later when the Scouting Force encountered a brit sub and started a battle for some reason, it then crashed when I moved the mouse.

I tried a few more tests as the British. Apparently it's crashing with them too, just not as repeatable as with the Germans.

Its crashing me as well. As soon as a battle starts the battle crashes.
Version 1.008
Well nice to see the rearm issue fixed but, when a battle starts from my campaign the game just hangs! I had to control alt-delete and kill the process.
I ran a standalone scenario it ran fine, I wonder if 1.008 is compatible with previous save games?
UPDATE:
I loaded my old campaign, let it run for a few hrs (game time), then saved and reloaded the new saved game, I just had a battle and the game didn't hang this time.
2nd UPDATE:
I just had the game hang with the start of a 2nd battle in my campaign, I'll now open a support ticket.
3rd UPDATE:
I tried three times last night and twice this morning to open a support ticket with attached files, they all failed with a network interrupt and loss of connection with the SES server. So I had to open a trouble ticket about trouble submitting a trouble ticket with attachments!:OHNO:

It's compatible with previous saves, but even in a save every time a campaign battle is started it crashes.

Thanks all for the heads-up. Sounds like I'll need to pass on this update :OHNO:

Hmm...interesting. I'm not having any problems with 1.008 as far as crashes.

Hmm...I've tried some more runs of the game with 1.008 and as far as I can tell it only crashes when you start a battle with a ship that is out on area patrol. So as the Germans it is almost impossible to play right now because you always encouter Brit DD's and Subs on area patrol. Very frustrating when it was playing so well under 1.007 with no crashes at all.

That explains why the crashes were 100% from the German side and only about 50%-50% on the British.

Now that's something new.
Not to mention that right clicking on it resulted in a never ending camera zoom cycle.

PS. Kinda tough. As the messages say, it took 4 15cm shells and still refused to sink

Nice, they fixed the Notification popup preventing pending battles and by this breaking the save function in the campaign that i sent in a week ago.
I had one campaign battle and this crashed indeed. If this can be attributed to Area patrol i could imagine that it relates with another observation i made. That is that i noticed that many of the ships/zeps on Area Patrol were said to be in port. For example the game claimed that all Ahlhorn-Zeps were in base; so after pressing the "Return to Base" button i could give the TF reorganization order right away and sent the Squadron out on patrol again. The catch is that the Zeps actually were on patrol as usual before and this lead to duplicated Zeppelins.
From the screenshots you can see that Zeppelin L6 is leaving Alhorn after giving the new patrol order, the base lists 1 Zep on patrol and 5 in port; while another L6 is actually in the patrol zone.
Allthough i haven´t given the Submarine Flotillas the same recall order there are duplicated U-boats as well as you can see.
I´m guessing that a similar problem occurs with the British Patrols as well causing the game to crash when it fails to cope with those duplicated entities?
Already filed a ticket concerning this bug. I guess its best to wait and continue the campaign with a prior 1.0008 savegame after the bug has been squished in the next patch.
(Resized the screens for less bandwidth strain but its still readable)

Oh common, that´s one of the Kaisers nuclear powered submarines with admantium armour. Of course tiny 15cm shells can´t harm it. Just stay clear of its death ray!

I haven't had any crashes yet, I think new updates might require new campaigns..They often did in DG..I'm going to wait awhile before getting too far into the campaign game for this reason..
