Delete this one yesterday, thank god for iCloud. Shame to hear about frame-rate problems on the iPad Air. It might be a lemon pad, but that's no excuse to release a product with framerate problems (especially racing games).
I played one quick pass at the 1st season's new addition while waiting on an oil change at my dealer.... Frame rate for me is very bad...delay in controls made that worse felt like a half a second.... I hope it will be better when I get home later on or I will be sad I updated at all. I dont know what to think right now....
I know the day will come, but I have no idea how long it's going to take me to feel comfortable, go fast on "Great Wall" course. At 51, I think my best days are behind me. Need a special class for old people. ...
No worries, after you play the map a few times, the framerate issues go away. Its like the game is getting settled into the map.
I also updated and tried the cup first, and then the S1 races. The framerate drops are killing me (litterally) on an iPad 4. Darn, these tracks are hard!
Had a couple of framerate issues on first couple of runs on new maps as well on iPad 4. Hard reset/reboot (home button, power button, simultaneous hold down until powers off and reboots) sorted it out for me. Looks like its one of those updates that requires a reboot for best results. On iPhone 5, they seemed to get less frequent after a couple of runs so I'm going with Dark Zero on this one as well that it seems to need settle in or adjust. Did hard reset on that device as well and it seems to have sorted it there as well. The tracks are tough though, of that there's no doubt. But once you settle in to them and figure out the routes, drifting wisely seems to be more of a key to them, nitro'ing definitely needs proper timing and picking of spots to use it wisely. Very clever design. They are challenging but very entertaining.
Cool I sure hope so.... how about control delay? Well I am in a spot to try it again, I will do just that Rip..
Best so far is 1:05:892 in the Great Wall Cup. Ranked 24 in the world. Almost impossible to master the track, difficult to get past 1:05.
The hard reset worked, thanks! Reached 1:06 something, pos 30 in the leaderboard at the moment. Very difficult...
What im really trying to figure out is how to buy the new cars. Im thinking you have to beat all the missions in the game before so. Otherwise, is it locked or something?
For the most part, they will be linked to tournaments as first prizes. Then available to buy after tournaments ended. The same process really as the past car additions. Don't know the schedule of their appearance or the order of the tournaments. @turbo. Noticed a control slight delay on my first run on the maps but I'm putting that down to being framerate linked. Once I did the hard reset, control response was as it should be and back to normal.
Yes, finally! Below 1:05!!! That was tough! I'm sure the new cars are linked to tournaments. Nice to see the new runs are for the add-on cars. I was missing a reason to buy them and was going to give priority to "traditional" cars (the ones available since the beginning). Now there's more reasons to buy the new cars Also, very nice to see 6 new tracks based on the new location. Nice job GL Barcelona!
Why though? That sounds dumb to tease the cars but not let us play them when they are already on the game. Edit: Right now i got a time of 1:01:582 in the tournament. Ranked 1st
Just the same process as before. It is ultimately to keep people coming back to the game regularly by giving some thing new to aim for or to get over time. Daily usage numbers are very important these days to developers but it is also an effort to keep it fresh and give something new which it would lose to a certain degree if they could all be bought right now. We have something to look forward to with it and check in to the game more regularly because of it. There are of course marketing elements to it but they are also important gameplay elements to it that encourage replayabilty. It's also why the tournaments are important in the game so they become more important when you can win a car.
So this is what happens after the new update? I swear if that new "matchingmaking system" is the reason why i cant use any car besides the S class im completely done with this game.
