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.

Account update problem

I know the problem is known and its server related, but I would like to share as much info as possible to try and assist somehow to get this fixed. First IGN Markitosjr

Actual problem: After every race when the checking race result screen comes on, a "your account has been updated please restart" message appears. U click on the reset tab and game resets. The game loads and stays on step 3 and the same update account appears again, I click on the tab game resets again and it then stays on step 5 " resolving races" until game crashes. For third time you open game and it opens as it normally would and if you race again you stay in the same error loop.

Things I have tried: Erase game data, erase and install complete game, change device from galaxy s 4 to galaxy tab s 10.5. Nothing works. I have notices that on my old account I can log on and play with no problem so Its only some accounts that are being affected.

    I forgot to mention this all started around 10 min before last turf ended. I am completely unable to play still. It not very nice specially when I just bought 4000 gems. I can pass my cars to old acc but I cant pass my gems! So if this Is not fixed by next turf i have to buy gems again on my old acc? Not fair

    I can't race online, it says,"unable to join race, please try again." And no matter what I do it won't let me race? How can I fix this?

    We are on the same boat that happened to me. I did swap cars and it let me enter a room but still got the update account message.

    Exactly the same thing is happening to me. The same thing you described. Account update, restart, game crashes after ~1min of step 5.

    The stupid thing about this is that my girlfriend's phone doesn't give this account update error. I installed the game on my HTC one max and I've had nothing but problems with it. She installed it on her LG g2 the day after I did and hasn't had a single account update error pop up.
