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.

Only positive I see from the update is the daily goals and the new dyno graph in the upgrade screen. Rest of all the update graphics are a massive step backwards and if the devs think different they need to step back and be honest and admit they did some horrible work. The fact they recommend that you turn off the advanced graphics says alot. I should not have to turn off, maybe you should of just have not made the crap graphics. Update would be great had they not of "improved the graphics".
Global chat is also garbage and just un needed function. So many scammers and just plan old a$$hats. If it is decided to keep the global chat give an option to have it not show up or removed (like your garbage graphic options)
Honest question Ryyst did they have any actual players test out this update and the graphics at all? If show what platers? How did they not say anything about the graphics? I highly doubt there was positive feedback at all on it. I will continue to play until I am forced to do the update then uninstal.
The best option I can see for the devs it to scratch the entire 6.0 update al together. Just add some of the features such as the rpm points on the dyno graphs and the daily goals to tge old version.
Its actully the same thing everytime you make an update. Couldten it just be badass if you for one time just got it down right? But AGAIN you send out some shit, that yet again lack ALOT of testing. I said it before, why dont you ignorants aint having things testet prober? Is it THAT difficult to have 250-500 guys betatesting it? But why should you bother? As usual you just make some left hand work, and we yet one more time have to wait for your no good coders to rewrite the shit they wrote in the first place,
EDIT: I have a feeling you only testet it on some local servers, with highend devices. But even worse with some lame ignorants, that have no clue how this game should be. Why on earth wate money on a councill, when you dont wanna take some of the things the guys give you into the game? Just spoke to pigpen. He cant even launch the cars now:(
THIS IS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH GLU... And i freaking hope this cost some heads at your office!!!
YOU ACTULLY MANAGED TO **** THE GAME UP AGAIN. CANT SAY IM SURPRISED..
I know what i will do, get reemburstment from apple. They have good understanding and experience with your defective app. And gladly reemburse the players you screew over and over again:(
Regards HowIsThat
EDIT 2... THERE MIGHT BE HELP.. GOOGLE THIS,, roll back to previous version of app ios
AND SEE IF YOU CAN ROLL THE APP BACK TO 5,3 or what it was before
"Agreed that the majority is around the cars"............really.........wow.........have you even been reading any of the feed back on the forums or on your playstore reviews? Is is not around the cars, it is on the whole "improved" graphics and looks of the ENTIRE game not just the cars. New race track looks like garbage compaired to the old, background looks like garbage, everything with the new graphics looks bad. Reason why I picked this game over the other racing games is the graphics was simple and clean, you guys completely ruined that altogether. I hope you guys wake up before you go the way of DeNa west.
Not sure if this is constructive, or helpful. Just know i'm not interested, in a downgrade. And everything i'm reading everywhere, points to you guys trying to kill the game. When you take everything posted or talked about, it actually makes sense. No company will talk about a new game, without it being in development. You guys talking about it, even to deny it, just adds fuel to the fire. Right now, i see it has you are souring the milk, on the tit. So the whales will run, to your next game
I appreciate you taking the time to speak with us, and appreciate you taking some responsibility for this train wreck of an update.
I'm serious, u respect it so much more than evading the elephant in the room
the graphics look pretty blocky, im sure you are working on it thoug, global chat really lags, and shifting is a bit slow. other than that, i like the layout.
Most importantly "it lags when i... trying to launch car. There are other less important places ie trying to install parts and change from screen to screen. Also there had been times where during the race it shows me finishing 1st then right to the end I see a blur and the other guys car fly past. This is not cause his quick. I feel is cause of some lag and he may have been in front of me the whole time (even thou showed me in front)
We i understand this may have been a internet speed that influence this, I have to mentioned I never had this issue before and I am still using the same internet line/speed
FYI this is on my Samsung S5
I was more frustrated after playing then before i started. most of the time it is my escape and a stress killer.
if it doesn't improve i will be sad and getting rid of the game.
That means for those who know me, i will be giving all away if it comes to that.
The game is consuming way much energy atm, my hands gets full of sweat (Is really difficult to get an iPhone 6s hot )
Besides i have all the shaders, and graphics downloaded; have the download all option activated. So, isnt a trouble with loading content.
Fix this please

ARES NiiTROzz4 (one space in between)
There's a lot of games like the GTA Series, CSR, Asphalt, that consumes less battery than RR and these games are way much bigger in aspects like the city, details, graphics, etc
I'm trying other applications to see if tablet freezes aswell but and until now, no problem whatsoever.
Android 5.0.2
HTC Sense 6.0
software number 7.19.401.51
HTC SDK API Level 6.55
Although the HTC is an old phone, 6.0 runs OK on my third device - a Sony which is maybe one year newer but low end M model or something (certainly feels less powerful in general use and gaming than the older HTC). I'm just gonna transfer second account to that one if it doesn't start working on HTC before I can be assed to do that. Would be nice if it could run on HTC again sometime as its a nicer second gaming device than the Sony, but no biggie if that's that.
On a postive note the lag on my Galaxy S7 for most in-game functions is a LOT less than it was before the update. This is particularly noticeable when tuning multiple cars at the same time.
Daily challenges are a nice addition too and the actual racing is working fine for me. If car paints and font sizes/colours where sorted Id say it's actually a good upgrade.
Regarding the colours, one of our Kik Group members actually can't read it whatsoever to a colourblindness and the combination of colours used.
