Hi , i downloaded the pack this morning and wanted to get the Azur Lane Dorm Port.

When i quit the game and re launch it , no matter how much i wait, i ll get the dorm selected in the top left corner , but will have another Port visible and can't swap as the dorm is already taken.

The only way to make it work is to select another Port, Quit and re launch to finally swap with the dorm.

i don't know if this problem is known as every Port Home is like this, but i should specify that i'm on steam platform.

its small bug

Thank you for the clarification; I have changed it as you said. 
However, under the /Bin64 folder, I found another  preferences.xml file, with different  information, including this :
 

 

My question is:  Should I remove   <port_preset_custom>  Black_Hole  </port_preset_custom>  from that file, or is your orphan tag solution designed only to empty  the value of port_preset_custom before  the client tries to set it to the user's port choice?
The reason I ask is that I'm wondering whether I need to search my computers for any other prefrences.xml files tied to WoWS installations (Public Test, for example) and remove the custom port line from them all.

"<port_preset_custom>  Black_Hole  </port_preset_custom>"

yes, remove "Black_Hole" then it should be back to normal

So perhaps something broke withing the preferences.xml file upon install of the modpack, but there is no way to know without confirmation from Aslain himself. I'd be glad to attach my preferences.xml file for reference, had it not contained my connection strings and tokens used for logging into my account.

Still, the problem can't just be worked around. We need a fix on this. 

Modpack is fine

Port mod is OK

just because WG didnt fix it since 0.8.4
