Zuperman, we all appreciate your dedication to making this game as perfect as possible.
my problem is different from being invisible - the game will not play. it appeared to have updated a couple days ago, but optimization only went thru 2 stages, then the video about the aces played, the planes in the sky picture displayed, then the Echoboom screen appeared, but then it kicked back to being minimized. Trying to start again, bue dogfight screen, then picture, Echoboom screen, and minimize.
I assume it will not play due to incomplete optimization?
Have not been able to play since. I also play now on Android Samsung 5S, that has been working.
I thought this may be an issue on my laptop, but now I do not think it is.
thanks

This is a bug on windows 8.1, i'm waiting for Microsoft to release the fix but they don't work on weekends so I would expect it to be out on Monday.

Oh good, I thought it was only me again. This happened awhile ago to me. I did a system restore back then and got going again. It did not help this time though. Glad to hear there is a fix coming.
