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'm starting to think this isn't much of a priority to them. Guess they don't see the loss of income. So many users new or old who could be spending money on this game. Who have now moved on to other games & spent money on them. lol

    It's been almost a month with nothing to show!

    Guess CIE Games only likes to take peoples money. I have read MULTIPLE complaints about users BUYING cash & gems for the game for only the game to continually force closing on them and not being able to play the game. And not recieving ANY refund for their purchases.

    What a shame!

    I too started having the same starting line crash! The game plays ok in daily challenge and in garage, but multiplayer and events it crashes when starting a race...and sometimes while chatting and scrolling thru racers list. My phone recently updated it's firmware to 4.4.4. I TOO HAVE LOST MONEY AND GEM BOOST BECAUSE OF THIS! I won't pink anyone in fear of getting the same crash at the starting line and losing a race I never competed on.

    I'm somewhat able to play on my Galaxy Tab3, but it lags/stutters and can't seem to get a decent start and shift points.

    I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, closing and ending tasks to free up RAM, but even with 1gb available, it still closes.

    I think we should get compensated for the funds lost on races that never happened(to both parties even if the other one had no issues). I think the game should know if a player's game crashes/freezes or loses connection thus making the current race invalid and refund any gem boost and/or money used prior to race starting.

    Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Just make sure your racer is linked to Google Play or Facebook

    The game is crashing for weeks now on android 4.4.4 version. I have sony xperia z. When i had 4.4.2 it was everything all right. 1 of 15 races isnt crashing. It crashes in turf and multiplayer. It doesnt crash in daily race. In multiplayer or turf i join in lobby. Lets say that someone challenge me, then i click race button. After that it comes message lets race. And after that i can see my car and opponent car on track for less than one second and it crash. It crashes alnost every time. Sometimes game crash in my garage when i am looking my cars or when i am looking my friend list or crew members. I tried to raise a bet before race but it crashes too. If you need any more details about my report just ask me. Everyone has same problem with 4.4.4 version. Sorry for my bad english

    Has anyone been able to help with the 4.4.4 update problem? My boyfriends phone updated last week and he is going crazy. If he Is luxky he gets to run one race before It crashes. Makes me think twice about upgrading my phone.
