Ah, well it might just be several fixes Z did -- or ones he released a while back but have just now been reviewed and released. These are only guesses, you'd have to ask him for an answer. :)

Wait -- I think I've had a misunderstanding. What exactly is the bridge? Like as in an actual bridge to cross the lakes with?

Yeah I agree with Slenderman. The updates are probably issues that have been fixed by Z.:)

Slenderman, operator, mojemo drug zamedlitelj, that signature line of yours, why don't you add those lines of text as graphics? On my Samsung galaxies they come out just as lines of squares, so it's hard to tell what message you try to convey.

you apple users are lucky as every update since the introduction of the fokker EIII has made the gameplay progressively worse.More lag,more judder,crashes on spawn,uneven and unfair team selection by server.The last few updates have now stopped me hitting any long shots as the screen movement is not smooth scrolloing anymore,theres a horrible dead spot in the centre which requires too much movement effecting lining up the target.Going head on i can be unloading and only half the bullets seem to fire not hitting but can still crash head on so i dont know how thats possible.I can be chasing some one firing and no hits then someone else takes them out and i get an instant hit.Tanks when they fire seem to take up too much ram and i get about 3 f/p/s.People not showing up on radar then getting taken out by ghost planes
Seems the updates just push the devices to the point where if your the average android user your at a disadvantage not everyone can afford or justify a £500 tablet.

i have a strong wifi connection on a 30mb fibre optic.
everything gets killed in the background before i play.

I tried to run Dogfight on an Ipad to see if there was any noticeable difference; but it seemed to be mych the same. Also the controls may be a bit awkwardly pkaced on a big tablet. My Samsung Galaxies worked every bit as well as rither the iphones or the Ipad I have tried.

That said, I'm sure you're right there has been an increase in lags and crashes on startup. Could it have to do with the progressively greater number of users? A new kind of lag I've noticed is when I've fired at someone who just keeps on flying, and then, tens of seconds later, he catches fire and I'm credited with the kill. Are you sure the lags are due to increases in the complexities of the game? Might not part of the explanation be overload on cell phone networks which were never originally designed to handle the massive internet traffic they see today?

Updates are just fixes. Since they are small things, they are not enforced (the server won't ask you to update). Completely voluntary.

For instance I fixed the joystick problem that some samsung phones were having. So people with samsung that saw that problem, could update and get it. Others didn't need it.

I also added some improvements to the walking soldier, but since that's for testing, it didn't matter to any unless you wanted to see the soldier.

And so on... as long as the update is not enforced by the server, you could safely ignore them (although you may miss some surprises i add here and there while i test stuff :)
