Issues fixed

Windows 7: crash after starting new game

By default the game does not support Windows 7 and will crash to a black screen when attempting to start a new game. If you try, you may receive an error such as The program can't start because api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0.dll is missing from your computer.
Use DXVK
  1. Download a DXVK release archive (tested with version 1.9.1)
  2. Extract the archive's .dll files to <path-to-game>\ZingangGame\Binaries\Win64\.
  3. Run the game's executable file using a -d3d9 or -d3d11 parameter:
    1. Create a shortcut to <path-to-game>\ZingangGame\Binaries\Win64\ZingangGame-Win64-Shipping.exe
    2. Modify the shortcut file and add -d3d11 to the end of the target path.
    3. For example: <path-to-game>\ZingangGame\Binaries\Win64\ZingangGame-Win64-Shipping.exe -d3d11
  4. You may still see the .dll error but the game should launch and run.

Known issues

Stuttering, frame drops, or poor performance

Many people experience stuttering for at least a short time while playing the game.[1][2]

This may be related to the game's engine (Unreal Engine 4) loading game assets on-the-fly.[3][4]

Installing and running the game on a fast-access hard disk such as an SSD may lessen the issue. Stuttering should decrease after playing the game for a short time as more assets are loaded into your computer's memory.
