No I don't have an ETA on that. I've been talking with the Devs across a fair amount of our games about it and from what they've said it's a couple things causing the crashes. Needless to say, they are hard at work trying to iron out the kinks with our games and iOS 7.
From what I'm seeing it does appear an update is on the horizon. Still no word on the actual date though. I'll post once I get the official word.
If I delete the game for update and reinstall it will al my progress be saved in cloud or not?! I'm not seeing the cloud setting! Also welcome back Ryan!
I've been around You should be able to uninstall and choose to keep local files and get your progress back in theory. This game doesn't sync to the "cloud" it syncs to one of our servers once a day or after making an IAP purchase. Maybe someone else who has uninstalled/reinstalled can post here and let you know how it turned out for them.
You can delete and reinstall without problem. In fact, I wanted to start a new game in summer after some stupid decisions car wise and the only way I found to delete progress was to reinstall, and even then I saw a message saying "the savegame on servers is not the same as the local save, which one would you like to keep?" (Or something like that).
Ryan, do you happen to be aware of a way to get rid of former Game Center friends in Asphalt 8? There's this one guy in my friends list who is most likely a cheater. I unfriended him in Game Center, but he's still part of my friends list in Asphalt 8, and he's still listed in ghost race rankings. I can just ignore him, of course, but seeing him at #1 for half of the career mode races is sort of an unwelcome reminder of Asphalt 8's all-encompassing cheater problem. (By the way, it's odd how your contributions to this forum are more helpful than the entirety of Gameloft's support staff is on Gameloft's own Asphalt 8 forums all they ever do is ask for ticket numbers and thank people for their patience. So kudos to you!)
Man I played this game alot when it first came out but then fell off the wagon and hard. I havent even opened it since and I dont know why lol
Pretty awesome that a premium game like this is free! I just got it and the graphics are great and the gameplay is spot on. Thanks Gameloft and Apple for this free promotion
Hmm I'm not sure why if you've unfriended him on Game Center he still shows up on the Asphalt 8 leaderboards in your game. I'll have to ask around and see if there is another fix besides just ignoring him. I'll post back if I get another solution! Also, thank you for the kind words. That's my job as Community Manager to talk to you all, help you out as best I can and make sure the players have a good experience!
Grind question Hey guys, got a grind question for you. I'm at 310 stars, Season 6, with top-tier D, C, and B cars unlocked. Paid for the D car pack, and I've only bought top-tier or second-best cars in the C and B class to minimize the amount of credits spent. Unfortunately, I've hit a wall, can't earn any more stars with the cars I've got, and to make any significant progress I'm going to need to buy a top-tier A class. I'm looking at the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, but I'm still about 75k shy. What races do you guys recommend grinding to earn up the credits I need? I've been doing the S6 Mini Cooper Knockdown (first race) for around 2000 credits every 3-minute run; but at that rate I'm looking at nearly two hours of grind to open up any new races. Are there any other races I should look at that offer a reliably faster return? Thanks!
