OK, guess I am first to have bugs.. When I go to settings they are blank & can not even click anything, froze up.. This is new one I think but sure annoying.

 

 

I've sent a ticket to support with a screen shot of a blank frozen settings window.

Please make sure that you downloaded the full update. 

[comealong1]

I ran the check & repair before sending ticket.. After the update I did a restart too.. I think I will run the check tool as well.

im missing all upgrades on planes 

 

[comealong1]

Is anyone else getting the same?. Oh my, all upgrades?. I'd be pretty mad about that.. All my planes are painted with 4 season camo so I'd be really T'd off.

I would like to know why the control settings always get screwed up with these patches.  Is it, or isn't it, possible to just leave them the heck alone?

 

In other words, is it technically possible not to reset our settings when patches occur?  We take time to 'have it our way' and it gets quite tiresome to change from 'have it WG's way' whenever a new patch appears.

I recommend CCleaner.  I've used it for years with no problems.  Free version works great but these days I use the (cheap) Pro version.

Please check the depot and submit a ticket if you don't find your upgrades there.

I am sorry but for what purposes (ans what files in particular - you can attach them to your post) do you want to open them?

[comealong1]

Thought I could delete the bad files but, maybe not.. I included with ticket too.. Extraneous files found?.. And I run no mods.

Mods are problematic to say the least.. Every download you have to update & sometimes uninstall before the update.. Too much hassle.. Don't know why we need mods.. The most popular features should become part of the game anyway.. They complicate things drastically.

all of my paint jobs, settings and upgrades were in place.  However, the game froze both times I exited, requiring a "sign out" to clear.  I guess that's better than having it happen when trying to enter a game, but still very annoying.

[comealong1]

They tell me to clear cache like I am stupid or something.. The update did clear cache & wiped settings.. That is why I need to get to the settings, to reset them.. I cleared cache again though to no avail.. Tried the game & settings is still blank.

[comealong1]

Reinstalled windows & the game.

So what is the progress on your issue? Have it fixed settings display?

[CorvusCorvax]

To blindfold:

 

Please PLEASE tell the developers to somehow save our user interface settings.  PLEASE.  Having to spend time to rebind my keys, and reset the display, AGAIN, makes me not want to play the game.

 

And if they can't, for a technical reason, can you please tell us EXACTLY what that technical reason is?

Here is what SonicPariah wrote in other thread:

"Honestly, the reset happens with every Update (not Patch) and is something we have discussed multiple times."

[CorvusCorvax]

Yeah, I read that.  But there has to be some sort of reason.  From the stuff I have read, keeping a record of the settings on the client is not that big of a deal.  So, why doesn't WG do that?  I understand that if the interface changes, the settings change too, but that doesn't imply that if you change one part of the interface that ALL the settings have to disappear.  Especially stuff like joystick settings.  That is the primary reason I abandoned using a joystick was the third time I had to set it up (again).  A gigantic PITA for what?

 

I just want to fly and shoot stuff down.  I don't want to have to fsck around with the damn interface multiple times a year.
