Bugs and suggestions!

[Fleczer]

You know the saying that no one breaks a game down like the players? It's very popular among game developers. Well, it's true because even if 100 people test a game and don't find any bugs, thousands of players certainly do. :) That's why we provide a section where you can share bugs, suggestions, ideas with us and we'll be more than happy to help and discuss with you. Together we will create a great game!

We ask you to remember that this is still a game in production, it's not bug-free and the content is still being developed.

OK, so I've finished the prologue and here are my suggestions for improving the release version:

• When opening the tablet, remember the last selected screen (this includes the search list view) and bring it back up. And not automatically return to the main menu. It's painful and a tremendous waste of time to click your way to the shop again and find the desired part you're looking for. Happened several times to me that in the process of finding the part in the shop I already forgot the name and had to close the tablet to check it on the bike. This starts the whole process all over again.
  
• While in Assembly Mode and when zooming in on a part and you don't have one of that particular kind, the game's stuck. You can't just go back to where you were before, you can't bring up the tablet, you can only click the "<<" button (or press ESC), which let's you step back from the bike entirely. So you have to click the bike again, choose Assembly Mode, find the part, etc. I find this highly annoying. Maybe assign the right-click to go back or allow opening the tablet and automatically refresh the screen upon buying the part.
  
• One minor issue (corresponds somewhat with the first point): with the tablet open and when clicking my way to a particular app (shop mostly) I found myself waiting for the animations to finish. They take like half a second or so? which doesn't sound a lot, but when I already knew where I needed to click next and had to wait until I finally could, this feels like a pretty long time. If the first point is fixed, this ain't that problematic anymore, if you don't decide to, please speed them up. Like "in a blink of an eye" or so.

Enjoyed playing the game, not sure though if I'm gonna get the release version. Been playing all CMS and other sims for extended periods of time (in fact CMS 18 is my game with the overall highest playtime except for an idle game), so currently I'm taking a break from them. But it looks promising, so keep up the good work. Cheers!

If there's one problem I'm finding is the text for shopping and junkyard parts identification and prices are way too small. My eyes are bad being a bit older but I really have to strain my eyes to read them. A 20 to 25 percent increase in font size would make the game a more pleasurable experience.

Suggestions:
* Remember the shop tab
* Dont get out of zoom view after tablet usage
* faster mouse scroll in shop
* names of parts don't quite match [exhaust left cover - left exhaust cover]
* add bike name in status screen
* bigger fonts
* don't block e-mail in the zoom view
* better oil animation (:D)
* the suburbs should be more lively, some people, cars, maybe dog barking, birds chirping
* the test riding part is meh - maybe add driver view
* performance - I was fixing bikes in driveway while having one in the garage - when exitting out the zoom view and turning around when my garage bike came into view there was much stuttering. Just for a moment. It looks like some preloading is needed.

yeah fonts must be bigger :) I'm the one to blame, I'm always like: smaller font smaller font, it's so 90s. :) My bad. I'm going to talk to the team about it today.

I couldn't agree with you more.
The vast majority of your comments are already being discussed internally and some are already being worked on. :)

I swapped it over to my main drive (now on Windows 10) and it loaded right up. Thanks.

If I find any other bugs i'll be sure to drop back.

Ok, I need to re-bind the ,W,S,A and D keys in paint, as i'm left handed. I tend to use the cursor (arrow) keys, and it would be good to rotate the item on the mouse.

God you better have 20/20 vision to play this, my eyes are beginning to hurt. The pic and the text are to small in the tablet. On entering the tablet it should fill the screen?

I will share your feedback with the devs.

Thanks Fleczer for responding to my request about the font size.
