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.

    We have found that there is a bit of an overlap between the launch button and the down shift paddle graphics (see screenshot). If you tap on this area (marked in red) it may cause the launch to not register. This will be fixed in our next update which, unfortunately due to the holidays, won’t be able to get approved in time, so it will have to wait until January.

    For now, if you tap the launch button in the area shown here in green, you will be able to launch your car as normal.

    We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s help in investigating this issue and for your patience.

    Man at least yall can play. I'm still lagging hard af. No performance improvements whatsoever. Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0". Apparently a piece of s***. Thanks GLU for all of your hard work. Keep customizing a game that can't even be played. Why not fix the game first and make it playable before you just add more features.

    You guys knew the game was made unplayable at the drop of 6.0. Then player feedback also told you it was still unplayable after 6.0.1. Now the game is STILL unplayable after 6.1. Apparently you have absolutely NO intentions of optimizing the game for those that can't play. I can understand that it wouldn't make sense for you to try optimizing to accomadate very low end devices, but the fact that my Galaxy Tab S2 can't run the game, you've KNOWN it hasn't been able to run the game, yet you still do jack s*** to fix it is extremely unprofessional. Hoe are you NOT going to optimize the game for mainstream devices?

    But whatever. It's your game. Do as you wish. Just pathetic and disrespectful if you ask me. Way to leave your paying customers and game supporters in the fkn dirt.

    What is the deal with performance crates? Is it a bug that you can only collect on 1 account per device ?..? Or was this purposeful?

    I don't have the launch issue nor performance issue I just wanted to inform y'all that I've been seeing cars in lobbies they aren't supposed to be in for example in the Lamborghini event in a 1650 lobby there was an Evo 8 ( I have an iPhone 5s 9.1 everything is extremely smooth no lag no nothing shoot it even feels like I'm running at 60fps)

    So the 8.0" Galaxy Tab S2 is still on the inferior device list for Racing Rivals then?
  • Options
    BlitzChaosBlitzChaos Registered Users 418 Posts
    @PsalmC34V22 Believe me, I know a decent iutm on this stuff. So your tablet is more than enough to run this game. But your display resolution which is 2048 x 1536 can cause a slow down in overall rendering as that is quite the display for your GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) to push. But none the less, your Tablet should theoretically have enough power to run this game, if that makes any sense some how

    And there's no app available to adjust and/or lower my display resolution to make the tablet run easier?

    Fug exit the car and try again. Let them worry about big things right now, that's a small bug that they can wait on. Priorities should be smoother experience like in 5.x first.

    I understand Glu turned the game over but seriously how long are they going to investigate before they actually do something to fix the game? Launch button has been messed up for over two months. Nos button works on occasion and that's been going on for a while. Latency issues are still very real especially at launch and that's been since 6.0. I play on an iPhone 7s with experimental graphics turned off yet same old problems. Exactly how long must we all wait? This is getting ridiculous. Less time investigating and more time fixing. That should be the priority
