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.

Android 4.4.4 Update GS4

Is anyone else running Android 4.4.4 with this app and receiving errors right before you start a race? Ever since my phone has updated to 4.4.4 I have not been able to race at all. Just curious if anyone else is having this problem? And devs, are you aware of this bug, if so do you have an eta perm fix or temp fix? -Thanks!

    I just activated a new kyocera hydro vibe and its doing this as well. It uses android 4.3 and if this matters its a quad core cpu. Ive tried rebuilding the cache and have checked and unchecked everything in the developers options having anything remotely to do with the gpu. I never once had this problem with my samsung and it was strecthed to the limit on memory and the game stuttered along but it ran. now everything is buttery smooth as long as you dont actually try to race anyone

    I have multiple screen shots of the full Report I sent when the app force closes. I believe its about 5 or 6 images. Is there an email I could send these images to? Other than the one that takes 12 days for a response? -Thanks!

    Mine does the same thing as Dima84. Its not just a 4.4 thing. This phone runs 4.3 and the best i can do is get one campaign race and the second one crashes. No races at all in mutliplayer. When it crashes its just when the tach and gear shifters are popping up from the bottom of the screen, it freezes there for aprox 1 second and the kicks me back to my desktop with the popup that says unfortunately racing rivals has stopped because you are an ***hole. It does this the exact same way every time. The game is unplayable for me

    I have the same issue on my HTC one.. game ran fine before 4.4.4 No issues when racing multiplayer now everytime i try to race a live person it crashes right before the race starts... says "racing rivals has crashed".... We spend money on this game and now are suffering because of an internal issue. I have lost in game currency and cant participate with my team for turf wars.

    I believe we are looking into these reports right now, there will probably not be an update until we can push out a fix and then you will see it in the update notes. If we need any additional information we will be in touch.

    Is there any kind of ETA on the fix? The game has been virtually unplayable because it force crashes 80% of the time right before a race

    You believe you are? Or you KNOW you're looking into it. Your post doesn't leave much assurance that you guys are actually looking into it.

    I know it's just a game in the end. But this game is a lot better than Candy Crush and all those other crappy games. It would be nice to finally play without these issues. I'm hoping the bug is resolved and fix pushed out soon.

    -Thanks

    I have also not been able to play since HTC One update. I have spent a lot of $$$ on this game and this is the second time an update messes everything up. I will hold on to this app bc I love playing it if we can at least have an idea when this can be fixed? Could it be a couple days or weeks?? Just impatient because turf just started and this is the point of playing and now can't. Thanks for your time, I'm looking forward to hearing back from y'all soon hopefully with some answers. Thanks!!

    I was prompted with a message saying my game was updated and that I needed to restart the game. I closed out the app and re launched it thinking the freezing error was resolved but i was only able to get in 2 races via campaign and then the game froze again.

    Game was playing with emotions haha
