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.

Anyone else

Is anyone else havin connection problems. After about 2-5 races i get the orange bar for i dont even know how long. And when i click on a player to race i just get the connect to player thing for ever then it says player busy or what ever the exact term is. I feel its the android users cuz i never expierenced it so much before. Its to the point when it happens i just give up for alittle bit. I even deleted and reinstalled app. Can any admin explain this

    It was bad last night. I stopped racing. This morning seems to be good... crosses fingers. Wasn't on my end, I could play another game with no issues at all.

    U think you're bad mine happened every 1-2 races! And now I think that the dq issue is bad because I'm getting dq'd every 10 races!

    I get the orange bar of connection death a lot. I just stop playing and hope it's not back when I log in later. Mornings seem to be the best time to play to avoid that though. server overload.

    Happens ALL the time to me also. Definitely not my internet connection, it's a slow connection in the game unfortunately.

    It's very annoying when you want to put up some big points in Turf Wars. :(

    It's happening to me too and when it happens half my team has it as well. So I know it's not on my end. Even when it's going on I ask the turf lobby and most in there have the same slow connection. In the am the game works fine but towards 4:30-5:00 pm pst it gets unbearable.

    My screen blinks after every take off in turf wars only then my opponent wins by almost two secs. My time stays in the low 8's where it's been but every opponent is in the 7.0 to 6.1 range. Connection problems or more sorry cheaters???

    Anyone notice this started when android went live, like Cie server overload. Top teams had low points because could hardly race. I raced so little, I used less than half the boost of a normal week
  • NJFINESTNJFINEST Registered Users 252 Posts
    I thought i would get laughed at if i said its cuz of android users. And yes it was still happening until the end of turf. Havent played since to c if it happens in a regular lobby

    It does sound like cie are victim of their success. We should expect a few more teething problems as the launch of the android ap has unearthed problems. From what I've read, android users are the worse off, apple users should feel lucky lol! I get the orange bar quite a bit, some days less than others, just have to learn to deal with the frustration, I'm sure cie will find a fix, just need to let them get on with it. Going back to the game, hopefully will get better game time!

    this isnt a server issue, its a network issue. Were working on it but its a little like the matrix in there...
  • Dragon883Dragon883 Registered Users 36 Posts
