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.

Same issues. Game runs great for 10mins then fps drops. Can run about 4 or 5 races with smooth flawless gameplay. Then all of a sudden it gets choppy. If I hit the home button on my device, then re-select racing rivals... The fps goes back to smooth but only for a short moment. This game has truely gotten the best of me.
I mean... I literally went out of the way to purchase a new device JUST for this game... And still can't play. Seriously... Look at my logins. I used to be online all the time and play daily. This login today was my first log in in weeks. If this is how you're going to do your customers then so be it, I'm not your boss. Just really sad. But hey, I'm just one of thousands that play this game. Yall can afford to lose me, so you will.
I suppose all I've gained from buying this tablet is the fact that I can just make it a Christmas gift for my son.
Needless to say, I'm very disappointed. I'll never invest my time in a game like this again. It's my own fault for trading so much of my time and money for the enjoyment I received from this game. Maybe this is for the best. I just feel personally s*** on by the devs.
I don't expect any optomizations or fixes. If there were going to be then it'd be done by now. I'll post my device once again just to amuse you. I apologize for my ranting. Yall win though. Yall win.

Same phone I run CSR2 for 2 hours, no issues with performance or no heating up the phone.
Same phone, and only these 2 games installed on the phone to do a comparison. One game runs fine the other runs like garbage after 15 min of playing
RR 5.3 used to run fine for hours, but not 6.0 or 6.1
With that in mind, I have to wonder if the same is true on Android devices in the sense that 5.3 ran on a different engine / coding / platform compared to 6.0, and that the change in that engine / coding / platform is causing the issues that you guys are seeing now.
Being that I had to update - forgive me if this is a stupid question, but are you guys running on the most current version of Android (I believe they refer to it's latest iteration as Marshmallow??) on your devices? (Back when I had a moto X running android, it was called Gingerbread)

Either way, as stated before, I've grown used to not being able to play. Eventually I won't even care anymore. I've already picked poker back up. I'll be honest and say that I will always miss this game. But I miss what it "was". Not what it "is".

Many Galaxy Tab 2 owners emailed us complaining about their tablet’s performance. Majority of the emails were asking how to speed up their device once again, so I think it would be helpful to publish a short article on how to fix or remedy a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 that’s running very slow.
1.Reboot your tablet. This is, by far, the most basic troubleshooting step you can do; the device will try to run necessary services during boot up. Do not overlook the importance of this step.
2.Close apps running in the background. After months of use, you must have acquired a lot of apps on your tablet. You should know that switching between apps does not close the ones you previously used. Instead, they continue running in the background eating up RAM. The more apps running the background, the slower your tablet becomes so you need to close those. Hold the home button so that Recent Apps screen shows up, swipe each app to left or right to close them.
3.Check memory usage. You need to do this to make sure your device still has available memory to accommodate apps. As mentioned in step 2, there could be a lot of apps or services that are running in the background. If there’s not enough memory left, other apps couldn’t launch while some would eventually force close and would create conflicts to other processes. Clearing up the tablet’s memory is one of the recommended procedures to speed up an Android device. Bring up the Recent Apps screen and tap Task Manager. Look for the RAM tab, and tap Clear Memory.
4.Uninstall problematic applications. After months of use, you could surely notice that some apps just take time to load especially bigger ones like games. Apps like that need to be maintained by clearing their caches and data from time to time. Moreover, unused apps should be uninstalled to free up some space and correct conflicts if there are any. Just go to Settings, then Application Manager and look for apps you want uninstalled.
5.Easy on the widgets. If your home screen is full of these little apps, you could experience some lag whenever you press the Home button. While they are light, widgets still eat up memory and if there is a bunch of them running simultaneously, your device’s performance will surely be affected. Therefore, minimize on them. Just use the ones that are important like a calendar, clock or weather widgets.

I've debated attempting to root the tablet to take advantage of the devices power so it's not limited and gimped by all of the unnecessary background processes. But I'm too concerned with bricking it due to my inexperience. And I still can't justify having to do anything to this device to play this game. It should be FAR more than capable.

I don't know what else to do. All I know is that I can play any high graphic game at max settings with this tablet with no fps or performance issues. Racing Rivals however is unplayable. Unfortunately, that's the only game I want to play. Fml
The devs should be able to debug it, but they don't even play the game before they release updates, otherwise all these issues like the Launch button would get caught before the update gets released.
BTW someone at GLU must get fired, 3 updates 6.01, 6.0.2, and 6.1 and things are getting worse by the update, what a gong show
