Ok Wolfs. I have been really trying to be patient with Zup addressing Windows Players game issues. I have tried my hardest to resolve the problems on my own. I am at the end of what i can accomplish. I will now Paste the email I just sent to Zuperman regarding this. I wanted to share this with the community as a whole. I hope you all approve.
Good evening Joaquin. I am emailing you with regards to a big issue with game play. First off in no way is this message meant to be a personal attack on you as the game designer or the game itself. I truly want to be a part of the solution and not one of the people sitting on the sidelines insulting you and the game. So thank you for taking the time to address my concerns and game input.
The issues plaguing game experience
Game screen freeze
Keyboard plane controls
Re entering match after losing connection and not retaining your kills for a final tally commencing game end
I have listed these in order of importance.
Freeze screen has become a real never ending, constant problem. There is no rhyme or reason, nor is there a obvious pattern to it. The game will freeze in mid flight and become unresponsive . You cannot quit, auto destroy, or re enter, etc. You have to close app and reopen.
This can happen in the first few moments upon entering. It can happen in any plane view. It can also happen while in tank or chute. Some times happens after a minute or so, or sometimes after a longer period of time. I rarely make it over 5 mins before it freezes. Interesting observation, if I fly tier 1 plane Rarely do I freeze up.
Keyboard controls.
When flying with no enemy in sight the planes movements are very smooth and predictable ..
When enemy is sighted and I begin to engage things get a little rough. Side to side pitch seems to be fine.
A straight up or down movement can be very unpredictable. Some times a quick tap to move straight up the plane jumps wildly skyward. Or some times it even locks up. Trying to micro adjust to hit enemy is super hard. Maybe I need a game controller. But I thought you should have this input.
Lost connections and losing Data.
I know you have stated that your points are recorded and not lost. But this is not the issue.
It is a big part of the game and my squadrons most coveted and respected aspect of Dog Fight.
Our Squads award system is based upon achieving a large amount of kills in a match, recorded by screen shot.
This is more of a personal request made on the behalf of the community as a whole, my Squadron, and of course my self. This being what it is, I am sure there are bigger issues and problems you are addressing.
I only ask you consider this feedback and if time and resource allow, maybe tis could be addressed.
I will now post screenshots of my system config, model number, devices, drivers, with Task bar open with my resources showing. Maybe from all this info you can compile some sort of game adjustment for myself and other Windows PC Players.
Or at least you can give me the details why this is happening. You are our last hope. I have tried online Micro soft support technicians, that have taken manual control of my System. I have reloaded all current Windows updates. I have reinstalled windows 10 twice. I have tried every repair tool you can imagine. Not the free junk clean apps either. I have spent approx. $100 dollars trying to fix this myself. I have tried playing on different Wifi providers as well to see if my internet was the root issue. With all due respect, and I no how you feel about referring to other games and comparing them to yours. But I feel this is prudent. I have downloaded another flying online game, The name is illrrelevant. What is relevant is the games size, and Graphics demand, plus the amount of players that can be in a match together. My Computer plays this app with no problems. That said , The game itself does not compare to the enjoyment I get playing your game Zup. This is why myself and many others want to see you succeed.
So you can see I have exhausted my ability to fix the game experience for my self.
I have had many pilots help as well .

I hope that this email will aid you in your game development.
