Was just forced to update today on my Android (Nexus 10). I normally play with all graphics off.

First the good:

My quit problem when I hit the page icon button seems to be gone!!! I was able to play in a number of long games without getting the boot. Bless you!

The delay I experienced when hitting the page icon is also gone. First time I hit the button it would take 5 to 10 seconds to respond with the list (or quit). Now it's immediate. Yay!

Lag seems to be better in clustered situations. Usually when there are a lot of planes coming head on there would be a delay or lag. This seems to be gone.

The Bad:

The firing sound is weird. It's like I'm only shooting at half rate. I think the guns are working normally but the sound makes it seem like you are not shooting. Same issue when in a chute.

The Unknown:

Didn't play a BTC game so I don't know if that is better (lag issue over water and red planes appearing in weird locations).

The Normal:

Didn't see any issues with tanks or soldiers that some reported (but maybe with the Apple release).

Overall, I give this release a big thumbs up!!!!!

I got the apple force, ummm hanging my head....

I don't really know what to judge it by, because I can't shoot for crap so.... Don't know how to gage it.

It is like I am way off on my timing of every move I make.
I was hitting guys 10-15 times with no kills. I have reset several times. Ipad and Internet.

Any other ideas I would appreciate them.

Hi !

If it can help :

On Samsung galaxy note2

When opening a new game, a new little time delay (2 seconds) before all elements appears (hanger, buildings, track ...)

Same issue for gun sound.

In carrier game lot of lag when up the water.

In bomb airfield game seems that when the hanger is bombed the plane is brand new except ammo (the precedent hits are forgotten)

In home page and other pages (settings, etc ...) some buttons are orange coloured.

Thanks for your work !,

Titus/Woospy

Lag is bad over the water in CTC

Planes that are shot down appear on the wrong ship then disappear to their own ship

I've seen planes on the radar that were so far off the map that they were in my instrument panel

The damage repair on your plane after bombing the airfield has always been there. I think it only happens for me if I get mutiple hangars on the bomb run and no I do not get a ammo reload, just the damage fixed

The flying tank thing is still going on but it's kinda fun

Saw some goofy stuff during a FFA game earlier today but I think it was random lag and not a bigger issue

Zip.... is that for Zuperman?

I have not the knowledge but I wouldn't think that there is only 1 android device made by HP, is it?
If you provided the exact model of your device it will probably make it easier for Zup to find a solution to the problem you are experiencing.

I guess samsung is a bit extrem but I would provide the complete model code (galaxy SIV GT-I9505) and not only say it's a galaxy 4.

Nexus 10

Echo Woopsy on the time delay when spawning at an airport. Plane appears on ground and then airport shows up (1 to 2 seconds).

Just played a BTC and had no issue with lag over water/carrier. Was in a 5 plane dogfight over a carrier and it was smooth.

The plane repair after bombing a hangar has always been there. Still is.

Also echo Woopsy that the user interface (pre-game) now highlights certain buttons but I assumed this was an enhancement. Also the user interface after being shot down is slightly different. Jump is in italics. Again I thought this was an enhancement.

Played CTC and didn't see issues over water/carrier.

Also...in the past I could see times where my plane would freeze for a second (where I'm sure others would see my plane jump). I have yet to have the screen freeze during my game play with 4.4.47.

I've played a lot more games and my page icon quit issue is gone. So in love with this release!!!!

Oh, jumped over briefly to a Europe server and the game was as smooth as ever. I had a little delay in killing a plane and it registering but better than it usually is.

Yes, that's normal. That was added because low end devices were crashing when trying to load all at once, so now there is a small delay loading each thing (airfield, trees, clouds, etc)

ZandorHawke wrote: The plane repair after bombing a hangar has always been there. Still is.

And it will continue to be there. That was added years ago to motivate people to bomb the enemy hangars and stay around, otherwise they would just fly and immediately crash since they were damaged when arriving to the enemy field. Or worse yet. They wouldn't even fly to the hangars.

This is due to you been able to navigate the menus with keyboard or joystick if your system supports it. So it is just highlighted. Maybe I will remove it if none are detected but it's not a big deal.

Not sure if these problems have been addressed, but I'll mention them just in case:

-Minor sound issue with the plane's guns. Irregular and slow rate, but it doesn't seem to affect the actual shooting.

-When in the soldier mode, everything but the eyes and rifle is invisible on the character model. Just a visual problem, the hitbox still seems to be effective.

-Occasionally when spawning into a tank, strange things can happen, including:
-A split screen, like a co-op game mode for one point of view. Makes it really hard to see. Interestingly, when this happens, snow particle effects become enabled, causing major lag.
-The tank will spawn high up in the air. An inconvenience, especially if you don't land right-side-up.
-The camera will be in a strange position, usually resulting in a loss of control of the tank.

This is all on the Kindle Fire (non-HD), and I'm not sure about other devices. I've seen other people tank just fine.

Everything else seems to be great, so I'm just avoiding tanks for now!

Hey Mr. Zup, was wondering if you had any ideas or luck why my insignia flex is suddenly not supported by the update. Please let me know when you can. Peace.

Updated apple.
Played bomb the boat game, hangars at enemy base. So when shot down drove tank there and wiped them all out in less than a min. Game ended. Going to shorten these games quite a bit. Same in FFA. Not sure CTC yet.
