Ace Combat Store not letting you buy coins?
Every time I try to buy Ace Coins through the store, the game just freezes without doing anything (music still plays) and soft locks me from playing the game. Has this happened to anyone else?

Is this part of the game functional, or is this still under construction?

Don't buy the coins. Pay2win people like you are exactly why they are ruining gaming with this nonsense.

what can you buy with coins for p2w? skins?????????
why are there ace coins in the first place? can we not have a single AAA game that isnt scaling the games grind to be so annoying that it incentivizes you to nickel and dime your self for their M T X, if getting items is too much of a grind that is on the dev and they should lower costs to reflect that flaw, not sell you the fix for something they broke

The coins are cosmetic. You literally cant pay to win this game.

Lol lil' bro, are you young enough that you can't see where this is going? Once they start selling in-game currency for real money it's just one more step to become NBA2k and you're spending $40 real money to buy a QAAM upgrade with an 8-target simultaneous lock.

When (if) that happens, sure, yeah. But right now thats not how it works and this is just speculation. 2K is a different company than Bandai with its own separate history of monetization practices.

Have you turned your Steam Overlay on for the game?

I just did. That fixed it. Thanks.

I can't believe disabling Steam overlays effectively freezes the entire game on you if you try to purchase something. It's a pretty big oversight.

Lol if

As if a decade of companies going down the same route doesn't paint a picture.

Hopefully you're right and they never do it.

But they always do because people allow it when they test waters.

You need to turn overlay on, not off.
I don't even use online let alone microtransactions.. I just pretend the online aspect doesn't exist.

Never turn the overlay off.

Making in-game purchases through steam always relies on the overlay to initiate the purchase or add cash to wallet (while in-game).

If the Steam Overlay is turned off, the store page malfunctions halfway through because the window to initiate the purchase/add cash to wallet never opens.

Haven't you heard? Playing with the skin you like buffs your motivation to play, therefore you get even more skilled through belkan witchcraft!
