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.

    @fixthegame Hey there! Welcome to the forum! Can you do me a favor? Can you try deleting the game completely off your device, redownloading and installing, and then try playing again?

    I ran into an issue on my ipad as well (I simply updated the app versus deleting and reinstalling...which is always the better option, provided you have your account synced with Game Center or FB so that you can access it again after the clean install). What happened with me is once I launched the game...the news window would come up....the x to close that window would disappear, and then I couldn't do anything. No access to the garage, etc.

    I deleted and reinstalled...and now all is well.

    Be sure to post back and let me know how you make out. If there's an issue going on (and others report it as well), I can / will make sure it gets in front of the guys at Carbonated for review.

    Thanks!

    I did the update as well on my iPad. I have to restart (usually once, sometimes twice) to get the game to fully load. Otherwise, it just hangs on INITIALIZING.

    Just FYI

    @Fugyea I had the same issue - after I deleted and did a clean install of the game, the issue resolved, and the game has run fine ever since.

    Since the new patch I have posted a reaction time of 0.000, using an Iphone 7 Plus. This does not happen on my Ipad mini, only the Iphone. Was disqualified in a tournament. I do not want to lose a car in pink mode, Racers have commented on it and I dont want to be considered as a hacker or get banned. It does not happen all the time.

    I updated last nite all was ok at first until I tried to use ford gtr then the game went screwy. Kicked me from the game and now all I get is can't load content, reload and car #100 cannot load. I needed to finish tuning today and here I am unable to get on. I already deleted and reinstalled, I'm still getting the same thing I did before I reinstalled. You know why not update on Monday? Put a message out on Thursday saying force update Monday sos and so time. That way when there is a major issue like this us turfers aernt hurt as much. What al I supposed to do now gem the rest of the cars so I can race if you fix the game by turf. I been racing since game came out and now why are the cars slower since update I don't get it. Almost as bad as the old tune update that I had to retune every car I had. Come on guys
