Well,this is quite an update. But it kinda ruined the game for my Galaxy s3. Very low settings apparently aren't low at all. The game stutters in a gorgeous but unusable slideshow pretty much the same whether on high or even very low visual settings. So GL might wanna tweak that aspect a little more. Good job for switching those IAP cars to tokens. Not gonna make enough tokens to buy any of them but at least it gives me the illusion that i could. And the decals are kinda ... meh. A very expensive "meh" for the ones i'd really put on a car.
Ha, true that. The Chrysler is now 'discounted', only 4000 tokens! I have 192 tokens, so I'm nearly there Also, only ONE person out of every 5000 will win the Scaglietti? Seriously? ONE?
@Fabien, The new update is spot on. Congratulations! The decals are a fabulous in game purchase, perhaps you could even add a purchasable 'aesthetic tuning kit' in a future update, to every car? With no performance increase, only visual. Same idea as the decals. But regarding the new update, here are some bugs/points: On android, the update messed with the graphical settings. The lowest settings, 'very low' and 'low', now both have a filter previously only found at the highest settings... This makes the game unplayable for older phones. Right now the most lightweight settings are at 'medium' as the lowest ones have the heavy filter from the 'high' quality settings. Pease solve this as soon as possible as this is possibly a problem affecting thousands. For more information, pease see and compare all hectorx videos and the new ones. He plays at 'low' settings and now there's clearly a new filter applied. In my option, Asphalt on android should have the option to customise every aspect of the graphical settings, like a PC game, allowing the users to fine tune the game to their phone's performance. Another bug I noticed is that in some races the CPU opponents are harder now. On the max Lamborghini Countach event, for example, my 1404 pro Countach is getting smoked in acceleration on a straight line by Countaches that are 50 points lower. This doesn't make sense. The users should be allowed to select their garage design (and perhaps buy other garages?) The enzo as the top S class doesn't make any kind of sense. Even better than the FXX? It's just kind of stupid. Please take this in consideration. With these exceptions, great update! All the best to you and your team. Amazing game!
That's a pretty strong statement. Imagine you have two devices — e.g., an iPad and an iPhone. You play Asphalt on your iPad at home. You'd also like to play Asphalt when you're traveling/commuting, but you don't always bring your iPad, so you'd like to use your phone for that. If sync'ing doesn't work anymore (while restoring stuff probably still does — just like saphirad, I can think of at least one way), how would you solve this? A separate account on the phone strikes me as the only solution. Why would you consider that cheating?
That's right, there's an annoying filter on "very low" and "low" settings now that was only available for the "high" settings before. I can't even select medium or high settings anymore on my HTC One M7. But most importantly, as I mentioned before no city havocs are visible in the low settings. It's extremely annoying for anyone who tries to be on the leaderboards, please fix this as fast as possible. Oh and another thing I noticed is that in low settings the road seems "blurry" far ahead and as I drive keep driving onwards it gets in focus. It's like as if all the materials aren't loaded into the RAM properly. I figure 2GB of RAM should be more than enough when there's nothing running in the background. Needless to say this update completely ruined my gaming experience. Please let he devs know Fabien and bring us a fix as quickly as possible. Cheers
I think the new update on graphics settings have made the color filters the same across all settings. Only difference is the amount of reflection and texture anistropic filtering may be higher on higher settings, thus, you see less reflection and blurry textures on roads for lower settings.
I can't wait for it xD It seems like only the Ferrari 330 P4 costs Tokens. The Ferrari Enzo Ferrari is assumed to cost 3,500,000 Credits~!!? There are photos surfing around the Internet so it seems someone has hacked the game or datamined it. Something about Saleen S7 being found in the files as well. By the way, this - http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/5/8153253/lamborghini-aventador-superveloce-geneva-motor-show-2015 - looks astonishing. I'm drooling just looking at this. The Aston Martin Vulcan and the Ferrari 499 GTB are delicious as well P.S. I got a Mid-Tech from my Daily Box of goodies today. Need 3 more to Pro my Ford 2006 GT (I know that car is useless, but don't mind me). Please don't hate me. EDIT: I'm really disappointed that these hackers don't even bother to help with the Wikia. They have access to all the information if they can easily hack the game. If they are going to get banned anyway, why not be a freak and just input some info onto the Wikia? Sigh.
If you misunderstood me, as that's no second account for me. That's just usage of the same account on two devices and is ok for me and not forbidden. I do the same with my tablet and phone. Thus, I also want to have working sync feature. Restoring to an old status can happen but when you will also loose any progress, so I don't see an advantage in doing that. This sync feature helped me already two times. When this ban friday was, I tried to delete my game and reinstall it, which did not work, but what happend my cloud data was deleted to starting condition. Fortunately I had a copy on my tablet. I don't want to think about a loss of my acount with 20M credits and 84 maxed cars. Second help of the sync feature was with my daughters tablet. This was damaged and after repair everything was deleted. She does not have so many cars as I have, but something above 10 cars bought by herself is for a six years old girl really important. Due to the cloud synced backup I was able to avoid many tears.
That's not entirely correct. While indeed the lighting filter now seems to be applied to all graphical settings (which might be a bug or a decision, one I don't agree with but still, possible to have been made in order to have a more similar aesthetic across all graphics), there is another filter previously only found at the highest graphical settings now being applied to the lowest settings (notice the screen artifacts when the sun shines at the lens? Thats the filter Im talking about). And this is a bug for sure, because the medium settings didnt have this filter and still dont have it. So Very low and low have it while at medium settings this filter is not present. Its an error.
Ummm, I'm pretty sure i have those artifacts present at all settings... later edit: actually you're right, after a closer look i can see what you're meaning; and i think GL did this intentionally, to make the decals look better. What we are experiencing might be just a nasty side effect IMHO.
Not going into details and possible causes, but I can confirm 100% that something is going on here with graphics settings. I myself experienced framatic FPS drop rate on very low settings and switching to medium helped a lot! Although game douesn't run as smooth as it used to anymore
Yea, somehow the medium setting is the best performing right now. But game definitely feels more sluggish given all the AI cars have decal textures on them that require extra processing power.
"New Update Ready to Roll" When I open asphalt 8, the game says there's an available update and I HAVE to update, there's no "later" button. So I click update, and it brings me to the AppStore, which says there's no update. When I click where the update button would be, it just opens my game, which still says there's an update available and I have to update, so I can't play the game. Anyone know how to fix this?
There is one advantage, and you said it yourself. Let's take one example: suppose you're going all in with free boosters on a cup and you still didn't make a good time. You can restore back your status before you used the free boosters. Now you would say that you would lose your current time on the cup and not win anything. Here's the catch: if you look at your time on the tournament, it's still there. However, the game does think that you haven't partcipated on that tournament. If you want to claim your rewards, just participate in that tournament, no boosters or anything needed. Your fastest time will still be saved. Anyway, after deciding to give this thing another try, I found something interesting: videos that refill your gas are now linked to the device, and not the account. However, gas is still linked to the account. I've found it while derping with my tablet: the game suggested me to watch the video and refill my gas, even though I did that on my phone. This means that people with X devices can refill their gas X times. This has to be fixed ASAP.
I updated a couple of days ago and haven't been able to play since. Crashes on launch. I'm using Galaxy S5 on Lollipop. I tried soft reset, nothing. I'm not logged in Google+ or Facebook, so I guess reinstalling is out of the question? What can I do? Thanks a lot Gameloft!
