Over the course of the last five years, Racing Rivals has grown into one of the most hardcore racing games in the world. This loyal community has spent countless hours competing in millions of races in “winner take all” fashion – all in the name of Turf Wars and pink slips.

However, all good things must come to an end… After spending time evaluating Rivals and its future – we’ve decided that it’s time to move on. Simply put, the revenue generated from Racing Rivals unfortunately no longer covers the cost of operations. This was not an easy decision to make.

On March 31st, 2019 – Rivals will be racing off into the sunset, and will be permanently shut down. Current players have until this date to utilize any accumulated virtual currency. We’ll be offering some massive reductions in the cost of crates, installs and repairs in addition to a reduction on timers as you race your way into the history books. Effective immediately, no new in-app purchases will be permitted.

In closing, a resounding and sincere THANK YOU to our extremely driven fans for your loyalty and dedication over the years – we hope you’ve enjoyed playing Racing Rivals as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.

I bought a tablet last night and it wasn't compatible. So I bought a different one which had the newer software kit Kat and version 4.2.2 and its not compatible either. How is it neither of these work yet my 5 year old phone can play it? The tablet I'm using now is an android next book 8. Thanks

    I contacted costomer support about this and this is what I got.

    Hello I would love to install your game on my new sero8 tablet made by hisense. Its a 1.4 quad core processor with android 4.4 kitkat. 1gb ram plus 16gb ROM. Please help me figure out what's wrong. Here is a screen shot of what is says. Thanks

    Hello,

    If your device is not compatible with the game, you might want to check out our forums and see if there is a workaround for that.
    You can find our forums here: http://racingrivalsforum.ciegames.com/

    Please keep in mind that we can't give any support, when you are playing with a device that is not compatible with the game.

    Regards,
    Racing Rivals Support

    Okay, loking at the specs for the Sero 8 and the Nextbook 8, those devices and I believe they would not be compatible since there is no actual GPS on them (I believe they use Network Location in lieu of not having GPS) which I think is something the game checks for. I could be wrong, going to check on that.

    Subscribed.... Despite the glitches and errors and useless excuses I've been trying to find a tablet that will play the game as well... pretty sad when you have to research to see who's android version works (I have found 4.1.2 to work somewhat well) just to play the game on a decent device

    I too have the same problems on my Toshiba Excite. KitKat os and it says game is not compatible. if gps is the problem and you guys cant change requirements then maybe put it in an apk file and let people put it on their tablets that way maybe? I don't know seems like as many pvp racing and other types of pvp games on the market that I can download on my tablet seems silly that I cant download racing rivals

    So is this the reason for incompatibility with some devices with newer versions of android? What is the IDEAL device for the game....

    Please talk to them and find out what the compatibility issues are... I just bought a new tablet with KitKat and its saying right on google play "Your device isn't compatible with this version" right under the RR game title
  • justwonderingjustwondering Registered Users 135 Posts
    and this is a dead end... just bought ANOTHER tablet today with 4.2... its not even listed on google play... WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS GAME???????

    [QUOTE=[RR] Ryyst;n1538031]What devices are you using?[/QUOTE]

    How about what are the ACTUAL device requirements so I can shop for one that works???? Seems almost fair... considering I'm on the 4th tablet now that according to the requirements listed are compatible which is a lie.... there's apparently more needed than android version 2.3.3 or higher... maybe go ahead and sticky that list or better yet actually insert it into the "requirements" section on google play... since they are requirements... smh...
  • [RR] Ryyst[RR] Ryyst Registered Users, Moderators 3,814 Posts
    So we looked into the Nextbook 8, it inherently is unable to access the Google Play store, that's on Google or the company that makes the Nextbook 8. As for the Sero, spec-wise we don't see why it wouldn't be available, so we're assuming its for similar reasons.

    Our requirements are on the Google Play store in the description.

    I'm not sure why you seem against telling me what you purchased, justwondering, so I can see why these devices are incompatible, but unless you tell us, I really can't help you.
