I have an important update guys. Thanks you all!
I've been in talks with Microsoft about this issue for a while and I let them know I was about to drop support on the platform and point them to this thread... well, when they saw the support that Dogfight players in windows gave here, they were impressed. We are now working together and the most likely scenario is that the game will continue to run on Windows 8.1 as soon as the update is out (probably today!)
Just keep in mind that Windows 8.0 will be dropped, you guys need to upgrade to 8.1. In usage there is almost no difference but internally Windows 8.0 is a nightmare for developers. They fixed it all on 8.1, just to give you an idea... with the new update on Windows 8.1:
- You can do in-app purchases of points without any trouble.
- The game will render water, shadows and all way faster.
- Joysticks and gamepads will work.
- You will be able to enter your info without a keyboard
- No more positions on carriers funky or completely out of sync with all the other players.
- Much love and hugs from players on all other platforms who hate you for having an older version of the game.
Thanks everyone for the feedback and the support. It really helped to get Microsoft on board
