2024.1 Beta Ships spawning on top of your uboat near the coast
Since the release of 2024 beta version there seems to be a change to the terrain rendering system, which only renders land when youre close enough to the coastline. It usually comes with a long game freeze and completely immersion breaking spawning of terrain right in front of your uboat exactly where was an empty ocean just few seconds earlier - but that's a matter for another discussion.

The problem im having is with the enemy ships, which spawn together with the terrain - too late, and too close to your uboat when near the coastline. It seems like your crew fails to detect vessels that are not rendered ingame. It's most noticeable when patrolling close to the eastern british coastline and using time compression. It goes like this: you're ~5km from the coast, your hydrophone officer reports an entire convoy nearby. You turn off the time compression and go to the periscope, to make a routine check 360 degrees around and see nothing but an empty ocean. And then like by a touch of a magic wand the game freezes and the terrain loads in, and with it that entire freakin convoy you've been searching for! Right on top of you, or in a better case 1-2km away from your uboat. Ofc, you're spotted immiedietly , shelling starts and sooner or later youre uboat is rendered sunk or 'not in the condition to fork' as the classic Das Boot saying goes. This issue is very frustrating and can waste lots of time till the last gamesave!
