    I simply ment, with many new different looks with decals, A8 looks better. If we dont get new tracks, at least cars look more individualised.

    And yes, I much prefer my pre update winphone rewards on apex cup. Look like I might earn me like 300 tokens. Your decal apex is noting but a scam imho. I havent even raced it on android yet

    Yes, I first saw that pic of the Win Apex and was looking forward to get 300 tokens from that cup. So my frustration was great as I remarked that it is only for Windows.

    Something different. Fabien made a list with all cars and their needed pro cards. An update is needed there with the 5 Ferraris. Does anyone know something about a new version. If not @Fabien would you make one and post the link here or update the pages in wiki (unless you are already allowed to do it). The file is very useful!

    At least we are getting the Best Mobile App Cup starting on March 20th. 1st-Place will get 5000 Tokens, but it will probably be one of this rich guys that gets it (kind of ironic how people that spends the most money end up wanting to win Tokens for free).

    Yep, without Fabien, we wouldn't even have all those information on the Wiki. No one even bothers updating the Pro Kit Formulas manually and many of them (including me) refers to Fabien's files to update the prices and stuff.

    BeachSideRage might know something about the new file though.

    By the way, was it ever suggested to add the Toyota AE86 Trueno to this game? I know everyone is tired of seeing it everywhere, but it is our beloved Takumi's main car! Who doesn't want some street Trueno? T^T I mean, we can even get Takumi's AE86 decal on (the tofu shop decal). It's perfect for this game!

    As one cannot select on which level a free upgrade shall be applied, it would be good if upgrades are not mixed with other important stuff like card boxes or >50 tokens (about 10 tokens are 5k credits I don't care). Reason is that we have to wait until we get a car on level 4 before we can claim the rewards. Due to this I am not able to claime 300 tokens, 24 cards and 7 extra tanks at present from for cups with mixed prices.

    @Fabien,

    I'm so sorry to say but this new update is pissing me off.

    How long does it take to publish a small Google Play bug fix update? The game is currently unplayable for those without a proper flagship android phone!

    Please, I'm just writing this because I care about this game. And if Facebook and Google Play are any indication, I'm not the only one having problems, very far from it...

    I'm not an excellent player, I'm not even close to hectorx or any other brilliant players posting here on this thread. But I'm not a lame player either, and I compete specially on wednesdays, trying to get f12 engine cards (which are ultra rare, at least in my experience). Now, today, specially on a heavy track (resource wise) like Tokyo, I had my least competitive run in a long, long time, because of the lag this game now has since the last update. Could you please talk to the dev team?

    I have an Xperia P, fully bulked up (perfomance wise) running a custom kernel and ROM, so I know what I'm talking about. My phone is actually close to the Galaxy S2 in performance, which is still a very common handset today, this means users with S2s (which still have the game running smoothly) were just lucky, a liitle more and the game would be unplayable even for them. Before the last update, Asphalt was running very smoothly on my Xperia at Low and Very Low graphical settings. Now, after this update and with the filter bug at the lowest settings, the game is full of lag. Please solve this as soon as possible.

    A racing game, by nature testing the players' reflexes, must have special care regarding performance, because, when playing, every second counts. Please try to double check performance before publishing another content update in the future. I still find it strange this bug was not found before, because it's actually so obvious.

    Also notice that having an older phone doesn't mean a user is not willing to spend money on Asphalt. My Xperia was close to 500 euros at launch and I already spent quite some money on Asphalt. I believe a in-game bug free experience is the least the dev team should give us.

    Additionally, please notice I'm in absolutely no way pointing the finger to you - while I don't really know what's your job inside Gameloft (PR, maybe?), your job here is remarkable, thank you very, very much.

    Also, please tell the devs this new update messed up with the online cloud backups. I have a correct local save game and the game keeps telling me to select an older cloud save game - even after I chose the local save game (which supposedly would erase the cloud one).

    Thank you so much for your time.

    @Fabien,

    Also, could you please tell the devs to check out the car balance system? What's the point to run against cars close to 100 points above you (and triple boosted?)?

    Thank you so much.

    I saw the 5000 token cup mentioned above, just to let you know it is indeed a pay to win cup because it will be S class, so pro 9FF will dominate. Barcelona is the map.

    Edit: should have said it's a pretty pathetic 'celebration' cup by GL to restrict it to only a handful of players, they've really missed an opportunity to make it a cup for everyone with something easy to pro like dezir or mini.

    I'm playing the game on a Galaxy S3. Before the update it was running rather smoothly since i switched to low / very low graphic settings. Now i can choose whatever graphics i want, i can hardly even play. It is not only lagging ... if i don't restart my phone and clear ram before playing Asphalt 8, i can expect to watch a slideshow or the game simply crashes on tracks like China or Tokyo.

    Please fix this asap. I would realy appreciate it. Thanks. :)

    Yes, I'm very disapointed as well
    It's a celebration cup, designed to thank the players for their support. Instead it has been changed to a support token buyers cup. Token buyers will win that event, and there will be a greater gap between normal players and rich players. A game should not have this gap be so great. Hopefully you guys can do a make up cup for this as I was really excited for this only to know it was for the people who can afford thousands of dollars on a game. :confused:
    The prizes are even set up in a good way, credits for the bottom players, then cards, and tokens for the top players.

    You said exactly the same I think. I hope they solve it as soon as possible...

    I think i was wrong when i said the new update feels more heavy, the game used to crash many times on my iphone 4 but since update that never happened again, good work of the dev team

    Heck, the reason I switched to Windows was because the Winter Update marked the end of Asphalt 8 on my Samsung Tab 10.1. I'm sure the new problems are probably due to changes required to render the decals -- an extra render layer. Doubt they'll regress that.

    They have to, otherwise they lose customers. Paying customers. With credit cards. Spending real money. (just stating the obvious, mostly for GL, in case they missed the point :) ).

    @Hippida actually I don't use those settings, I was just trying different stuff. I use 60% touch sensitivity.

    And I found out that despite that pesky filter, very low settings still run smoother than anything else, but i still have to clear the ram before playing.

    I would also like to suggest GL via Fabien to make some little compensation to players with older devices who hang in there and play the game daily in spite of all the graphical problems.

    Now that the aero xt is for tokens, is it worth saving for?

    I understand you...

    It depends...
    But if you want a really competitive car in events go for K1 :)
    Aero can be useful in multiplayer I think, because its acceleration is really good :)

    Try to turn more “progressively”, reducing your controls sensibility might be useful to do so.

    You can already check the car pages of these 2 Ferraris; I will add the pictures latter: http://asphalt.wikia.com/wiki/Ferrari_F50 , http://asphalt.wikia.com/wiki/Ferrari_612_Scaglietti

    Hi Velexas, we are aware of the performance/resolution issue on Android. We are addressing the issue since more than a week. If I have more information regarding the fix, I will let you know.

    We know about this issue too, and we are working on it. We have modified the synchronisation system to prohibit abusive practices that were leading to inequity between players. I know for sure that this issue will disappear, but I do not know when yet.

    All that I can advise you now is to try again in several hours to see if it is working. I think that the game will do a new backup of your local save file at some point.

    The game always tries to find players that have a similar car rank as yours. However, it might not always be possible to find a sufficient amount of players with a similar profile within less than a minute. We really don’t want to get the players to wait too long before the race starts.

    Fabien just wondering, why the tracks The Rose of the Desert and Mirage are still not on multiplayer? i guess Sector 8 foward will be added eventually right?
