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.
Hello RR community members!

100% agree with that . The current player council doesn't give 2 shits about the game all about making money and breaking lobby records using a in game exploit .
about the bad lag and other performance issues which has made it impossible for me to play at all
caused with the last update. can't really remember exactly how long it has been all I do know is
i haven't played RR roughly 3 or so months, just anticipating this goddamn problem to be fixed yet
absolutely nothing has still been done were already in mid January. I keep going by the RR admins/
mods word and now a completely new thread/post/list of nothing but more words ive heard over again.
whether anyone cares or not im beginning to forget I ever played as hard and disappointing it is, I will
very shortly sadly rub everything and forget this shit for good. garage of 250+ cars which over the years
cost me hundreds $$, literally I was spending on average $20-50 (even more) each week/fortnight.
in my muthafucking face! pure robbery and un fairness to its maximum.

really could not care less either, all i want is to be able to race normally again

If you guys can just keep the cheaters out, those using modified apk, and keep the game functions working correctly then the game will thrive. It really won't take much
There was an exodus of players after 6.0 though I'm sure you have the numbers. I'm not privy to them but it's not hard to figure out when markets drop, and I can run much few races to store higher.
The thing that hurt glu to me was the lackadaisical attitude toward customers. @RYSST told us he fought the good fight and his hands were tied and I totally believe that.
That were fundamental, easily for seen mistakes that could have been easily prevented, that simply trying them on my a member on a phone, could have forseen.
I am glad you guys have stopped by the forums. They need a little help as you can see. We as players have made our own pages as this is lackluster to say the least. It needs revamped.
I've also looked into your company and we'll, I'll be honest though I know who some of the players on the team are, I didn't see a site to look at.
Anyway I welcome you. I hope you are the fresh air the game needs.
gonna get this shit fixed and fill us in on REAL PROGRESS, REAL TALK, FACTS please stop with your "what we wanna hear bullshit n promises" only to get us off ya shoulders. enuff with the dirt pvssy attitude - - i cbf with rants and i hate typing yet suddenly droppin paragraphs that's how mad and furious with this crap ive become.
lets all get along and cut talk and just R A C E again and smoke cvnts with that fam kinda love
There are many experienced players who would happily give our time for free if there was some sort of beta testing for future updates. However, I'm not a programmer. I have no idea of the technical feasibility of such an idea.
Many would also be more than happy to offer input on the direction the game could take and give opinions on where the limited resources of the development team would be most appreciated by the playing community.

Not only would it be to late it would be silly to do. The reason the lobbies changed was because something wrong was found with the way the game functioned before. So while it may have been where the cars you had were tuned, to help create this new cheat detection this was a needed change. It will pay off in the long run and it's one that did affect a lot of people but one that will have a way more positive impact then the small negative one that caused us to retune our cars.

As for them working on a game where there were no cheats..
When we visited them there were no cheats and they were actively trying to find ways to block cheats that weren't even out yet. The fight against cheating is one that is NEVER won, so if you can be ahead and combating what isn't there yet then you are even more so ahead and honestly to me, it spoke volumes that the developers of an online racing game with no cheats (at the time) were looking for ways to better protect the game.

And I see people saying that you can't play the game it lags. Buy a better phone, or download less porn.
The reality is both companies stop updating theit os after 2 years, yet you want game developers to design a game to your needs.
Technology advances. You can't play your ps4 games on a atari. 2 years is the limitation. I had a tablet that worked great before update now it sucks. I paid 70 bucks for it new so oh well. Better replace it.
Stop bitching about lag, it's non existent for me on an s6 and that's 2 years old.
And for the record I turf a lot, and get 30-50k so it's not like I log in once a week.
I'm saw something while my wife was playing last night on her Galaxy S6 that I would characterize as a "frame drop" not lag.
Let me give you MY definitions of the two (Lag and Frame Drops)
- Lag is when your input happens AFTER you do the action due to 1) input or video lag (you might see video lag when playing Rock Band on a big screen TV through HDMI) or 2) internet latency (my ping to the server is 300 ping, therefore my movement happens .3 seconds after i press the button.
- Frame Drops would be any time the frame rate actually drops below the constant 30/60 that the game normally plays at.
What I saw was after her 15th or so race, her next race ran at a smooth frame rate for the first 3 seconds or so, then hitched (or dropped) multiple frames a few times as she shifted down the track.
Are you seeing either of these, or is it something else entirely? Please let me know!
As for the lag, it's not really a lag that people are experiencing it's more of a device failure to display the game properly. It was honestly much worse before they reverted back to the current graphics but if you wanted to experience what most people are talking about go to your gamer profile in game scroll down and activate advanced graphics.
Activating this option will give even the best of devices a run for their money and will give you the experience that a low end phone provides the racer that is sometimes confused with lag.
