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.

Are you experiencing latency or a drop in frame rate?

    It may just be the age of my phone, but I experience a lot of lag in chat, tuning menus, showroom, and in race lobbies at random. Also shows me offline at random. Has not caused me to lose any cars because I try not to pinks when I am lagging. Only way my lag stops is if I restart the game, and then it's a countdown to when it starts again. Some days immediately, other days not at all. Hope this helps.

    No frame rate issues just latency. During racing and even rotating cars around in the garage.

    Yes but my other device and ign work perfectly fine. The odd part is the phone i use to race with is about 5 years old and runs on android 4.4. The lg stylo 2 has every issue thats out there when running rivals. Real slow frame rate, latency, lag you name it that device experiences it. The lg isnt but about 6 months old.

    One more thing. This may not be the place but im pretty sure you will see it and im sure you have some influence on development. The launch button...will we get a fix? Also the size of the launch button, its too small since 6.0. My main complaint about control layout in races though is the size and position of the NOS button. For it to be closer to the upshift paddle and a bit larger or to be able to repositon the NOS button would be a beatiful thing. This isnt just coming from me. I can tell you that i know of many, many other ppl with this same concern. Thanks for your time and effort Rryst. We appreciate it emencely!

    What I am Experiencing: I am experiencing some lag whenever I play in the multiplayer lobby and tournaments. Yet the game runs pretty good in turf wars and or racer showdown. I'd like it to run perfectly in Multiplayer, Tournaments, Turf Wars AND Racer Showdown, if possible, please and thank-you.

    I get a drop in frame rate and get lag in some cars, while others are completely fine. And the launch button issue i believe has not been fixed yet so that makes it even worse for a n0bb racer like me. Hopefully you guys at carbonated can turn all these issues around and make the game better for everyone.

    ALSO
    When I have perfectly good internet, I'm in my garage doing garage-y stuff, I get a message saying "We have made improvements to your account, please restart" And I restart my game and nothing happens. Why is this?

    Thanks,

    For me it's not just down to device but I'll leave that information too

    1 device is
    Nexus 6
    Android version 7.0
    Frame drops inconsistent frame rate (shoots from a 40 to a 25 randomly) I noticed external programs overlaying have lag on top of them more then from 5.0 (my recording app Mobizen lags on the taps so does messenger)

    2nd device

    Samsung j7 model SM-J700T
    Same as Nexus 6 just going between 45 and 30 on the frame rate during recording dips down into the 20s sometimes (I have video of the giant difference in frame rate between when I had this phone (old update) and now after the recent patches)

    What are you experiencing:
    Whenever in multiplayer, turf r showdown lobby, when I'm about to launch my cars, I would experience a few sec of frame drop jus b4 the light turn green. Which would mess up reaction time r cuz me foul.

    The light in my car headlight doesn't show, but the beam shows on the road, a few of my car had matte paint, which was remove with the 6.0 update.

    Some time when I'm racing and my opponent hold the light, the race didn't, we both get 0.000 rt, but I loose the race. Please look into that situation as well.

    If you turn the enhanced graphics off, the headlights will look "right" again, and the matte paint will look "better" than it does with the graphics turned on.

    What are you experiencing: After about (10) minutes of gameplay, I'm starting to experience choppiness and a very sickening lag, where the delay press time translates to approximately .100 in action time on the game. This lack of action time takes toll in my performance on the track and, ultimately, costs me cars. I find that the lag is the worst in Sydney due to the abundance of additional background graphics (distant structures, the running stream below the bridge, etc.). Most of my team tend to skip the Sydney events specifically for that reason.
