Ok now I'm done with multiplayer. Today went from good to terrible in a couple hours.. All day, the game has been lagging (really hard, starting to get unbearable), the Tuatara has been making me fall victim to random spinouts, glitches all over the place. I've lost some matches today that almost make me want to quit multiplayer completely (getting knocked out from behind when it makes no sense like on Nevada at the first bottle's jump, my car becoming a rag doll when someone barely touches the back of it but when I do it, their car is stronger than a steal wall that can't move, Tuatara loosing control multiple times) but I'll play again when it's fixed. Tournaments I guess (sigh)
Thanks this is great information to have for future TLEs! I'd welcome more feedback, so feel free to keep posting your thoughts
Nevada and China have always been by far the worst offenders when it comes to lagging/losing my connection. Conversely, I don't think I've ever gotten disconnected during a race set in Monaco or Iceland. And yeah, I've experienced glitches too with some D-class cars. Twice I've been suddenly unable to clear the ramp over the canyon in China with my Dodge Dart and Mini Cooper - a leap I've easily made hundreds of times before.
The handling upgrade is worth less than a point. When you do the acceleration, it'll put you at 1611, but it won't say maxed. Likely something along the lines of 1610.5 being rounded up.
I had the same experience yesterday. had finally regained some points to get up to 1440 ish, then for all following races, I would get lag issues. I'd go from first to sixth because nobody else was lagging. Ended the day with a rank of 1330 Honestly, It has to be that server issue Fabien was talking about. Hey Ryan or Fabien, get someone to check out whatever server is closest to the Bay area in California, cuz it sucks right now.
Hey Ryan, I have a suggestion for multiplayer rewards. For multiplayer win streaks, prizes should get better the farther you progress in the game i.e. for players in season 1, they would only win d-class upgrades and cash, and for players who have finished all the seasons or are on the last season, they should win A/S class upgrades, nitro boosts, etc. Alternatively, there could be another win streak bar for first place wins that doles out higher class upgrades as well as boosts. This way, the players with the most skill get a suitable prize, and people who have finished most of the game have an extra fun challenge in multiplayer.
I know how it feels!! Especially in China Maps during the start of the race which. I don't really feel lag playing other maps but it occurred once in a while which not much a deal to me. Well is sad to hear u are done with MP, losing an awesome player in MP is making the game less interesting
I am not sure one out does the other, but if I had to pick in a super close/ too close to call scenario I think the SSC out does the Lykan but when I say that I mean by a hair... under race conditions I dont think its worth anything as long as the drivers in question are of equal skill...thats how close I feel it is. If the drivers are equal in this instance, then it is track related....I feel that the Lykan is better on the tracks that do not have real long runs and lots of on and off nitro in tight spaces... The Tuatara is faster in speed and not by the speed'o just out of my experience, but it is not much at all and takes a long run to show it. Now, if the drivers are not equal, then that alone is how it is passing., These two cars are very close in game no matter what the stats say. I feel overall the Lykan is still a better car since it stays planted better than the Tuatara...now that is my opinion and experience...learn where the SSC is unhappy and you can overcome its unstability I will call it. But if two peps go head to head I still feel the Lykan wins that contest provided you are not at iceland or barcelona... but even the later I think it is so close man. That is just my .02 on the matter I dont think this car is worth owning if you care for my opinion...lol....but it is viable if you take the time to learn it cruise liner like handling she is a screamer. On the note of the events, they are not there to "have to be run"...they are there to entice folks to, which boosts sales and at the same time hopes to have people have fun to keep them coming back. I agree prices are high these days for sure, but it all can still be done money free and therefore I admit that I cannot see how it can be an issue. Other games I have run it cannot be done free at a point and that point is early in game...life could be much worse....I think ..Now that said I did all that a while back and can say I never found it a problem I just enjoyed playing and got to where I am just by chance really. Sorry man, sucks royal _____ For my coin, I think running the maps completely different than we run them all now would be fun for everyone. I would like to see super spinnt cups... instead of a day or worse 5 days...run them for an hour.... I too would also like to see the long run events (not time or days... laps) I think that is a great idea...5 or more lap runs, and even mix those up with different routes in maps, you know close off the ways we usually run and make us run the maps differently....Like in the Alps Rev. for example, make us run around the S curves by the falling rock and then down the hill through the village, close the long snowy uphill and the tunnel... same goes for other tracks...close the three S turns in nevada forward and make us run the right route, then close the closer portion of the dam road, then close the upper bridge section and make everyone run the mine area instead and so on..That would bring new life into the maps we run now and make a bunch of us work for it and give new racers a better chance than they have now with all us folks so used to the regular routes we run now just finding a place to shave .010...The new guy no matter maxed and boosted stands no chance at all. I dont know how much a chance that gives but at least you know that an event is going to be run differently than it used to be and I think that is fun no matter what. I would love to run ways that are normally not the fastest way but be forced to. For rewards I am not sure I personally would change much, but you have had a big hike in upgrade prices so maybe take some of that back by offering better rewards...then add "the mystery racer reward" that goes to someone that did not do well as a random... then put them in the spotlight by advertising what they won by just participating in the event??
Invite a friend from Facebook? Well, got another question for the community... This time it's an "Invite Friends" question. I would very much like to add one of my Facebook friends to my Asphalt 8 list. As you probably already guessed, Eddie is already one of my Facebook friends (and has been for a long while). Additional information, I'm playing on an iPhone 4S. My Facebook friend Eddie is playing on a Samsung Galaxy S5. I've tried to find him multiple ways on Asphalt 8. First I went to: Options Profile Social and tried to find him on Invite Friends No such luck finding him in the list. Then I went to: More Racing Options Asphalt Tracker and tried both Invite Friends and the Friend's Activity - Challenge your friend's Ghosts! Add more Friends now? Again, no such luck in finding him in the lists. So, how do I get him added as my Asphalt 8 Friend? Would love to race his Ghosts... Everyone's Favorite Farm Animal, eieio Pig
Silver Lightning was my first heavily upgraded S Class and took me through most of the S Class events, so it'll always have a soft spot in my heart. I think it's kind of fun how different it is. The other day running Nevada forward, I dropped off the ledge towards the beginning (after the left S curves). Think I was in the Survolt but can't fully remember. Anyway, I suddenly took a nosedive and then flipped upside down (facing backwards). I was bummed that I was about to wreck, but I oddly kept rotating and landed flat facing forward. First straight up flip that I remember doing (think I had a glitchy combo multi-flip/roll once). Also, been running the maxed boosted P1 on the Monaco event. I like the car alright, but man, it can be twitchy. Get just a smidge of air at an angle (from a sidewalk) and it'll flip you sideways so fast. Reminds me of the way the Survolt handles in Tokyo sometimes.
Ya I have had some weird things happen to me at that same spot in Nevada too...Had a roll front/flip/landing that landed at the last second myself. The P1 is Sesto like at Monaco miss a line by a hair and in the wall ya go..just hope that it is the right wall and not the left one for a blamo wreck o mondo... I had it give me a full 360 spinout right before the tunnel grabbing the left gold...was cool other than the second or two it cost me.
I think GL should really do something about their server connection, is terrible to play when game lags
To those that are recently experiencing more Lags than usual : We would like to know a little bit more, and figure out if there is an issue/where does this come from. On what platform are you playing and what device? Are you experiencing those issues on every track? If not, please state which tracks. On which server are you playing (US, Asia, etc...) Have you tried playing using another internet connection? If yes, are you experiencing those lags issue as well? Please quote me to answer to these questions. The more answers, the faster we will come up with explanations! Thanks to all of you!
Lags and even forced app closes here (on tournaments, not multiplayer because I don't play multiplayer). Country: Spain (Europe server, I guess). Device: iPhone 4S, non-JB, iOS 7.1.1. Connections: problems both through WiFi's (tried several) and 3G (Movistar operator). Tracks where most lags occur: the China track of the last tournament (the one which for every second reduced you got 1,000 coins). Last lag: in the current Monaco (reverse) tournament I suffered an important lag one of the times I raced. The others were okay. Force closes: mainly when the tournament list is updating and when I claim prizes. The app crashes, but i it was during a prize claim, the prize is obtained and everything is okay after reloading the app. Thanks for your help.
HeY! Fabien_Gameloft Just a question... Why you Guys forgot the guardrails on Great Wall and Great Wall Reverse? Just imagine Nevada without guardrails... It's the same thing!
Hi Fabien, I'm playing using my iPad Mini 1, up to date iOS It seems that it occurred on mostly every track, but especially China Maps(horrible)!! The China map lag a lot and took about 2-3 secs. Hope there is an improvement on the issue, thanks
I might be underestimating the precision of the incredible Chinese drivers, but I don't think anyone could pull off 5 laps with heavy traffic without committing at least a few mistakes. I think you'd be surprised. ...
