    Wohoo, I've got bluestacks working, and even using an existing android acc so I dont have to start from scratch.
    I found that 3 arrow keys for steering and brake with space for nitro takes some getting used to, but I may have found a way to remap.
    All in all, driving A8 on a 24" screen sure is very nice thing, and I can imagine it helps getting great races.
    Looking forward to playing more with it.

    As my main is winphone, and we got a 6 day cup 6h ago, I dont really expect an update soon, but perhaps we'll get a version without all those pesky bugs.
    Anyhow, I kinda needed this little vacation from smartphone A8, as I played to much lately :p

    Yeah I and a few others got that too, I couldn't upload to YouTube for about 24 hours prior to getting it too, although I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

    Btw I know you haven't given out your GC on here so I'll not post the pics but I have a sneaking suspicion it was you who kicked my ass in max pro survolt 2 boosts last night for 3 or 4 consecutive races ;)

    From what I've read on various tech news sites, it seems every single Twitch user got that. It's unsettling, but kudos to Twitch for doing the right thing by resetting everyone's credentials when they found out about the breach. Too many services just send out lame "you should probably change your password soon" messages in similar cases, leaving your account vulnerable in the meantime.

    I was using my daughter's iPad, which is rascal3332. But running the TLEs, I had the extra tank active, so not even close to fair for you. I liked your San Diego start. You took the fast, but dangerous, line and I drove straight into a wall.

    I would really appreciate someone posting a good Iceland video with a Biome.
    I'm obviously doing something wrong.
    I'm using a 1590 Biome and not getting under 1:29 (single nitro). :confused:

    EDIT: Never mind. There is a spin in the cave I can do for some extra nitro. Just need to execute it now.

    Haha yeah it was you then, if I remember right I made a mess of that lap later on but I might be getting confused with another SD lap. I have it all on twitch I think so I'll maybe go through and find if there's anything worth putting on YouTube. Good to meet you in a race btw, I've been playing a lot of max pro survolt lately to get my 612 upgrades, I'll most likely go back to the 1700+ crapshoot when I get the final two I need.

    I'm having trouble in the 599, trying to get below 1.30 and I just seem to make another mistake. It's a long course and there's not many nitro, with one tank I've gotta tail slide in the straights.

    Loving your effort and your clean hits on the three AIs at the start was magical. But I just can't imagine a sub 1:12 lap coming off of running wide to get two golds instead of straight to get the two blues.

    Good choice, but maybe when you get 12k tokens, another great nitro car will be released :D
    Of course I don't know about your tokens, how many do you have ?

    @Fabien: The next update cannot come soon enough to solve the issues with graphics/city havocs on the HTC One devices among others. The multiplayer is a nightmare, cars blinking (not the usual bad connection ones), poping in and out if existence, spawning randomly after crashing, bouncing off walls/railings and so on. I've got over 5000 multiplayer races so I know this is not your regular bullshit. I wonder how other racers see me, I bet they are thinking I'm the one not playing by the rules. Not to mention the frustration on the TLEs. When 0.005 second is the difference between winning an Enzo and 4 cards... I don't have to explain anymore. Please tell me you got an ETA for the next update?

    Oh and one another thing, just like free D and C class upgrades on multiplayer winstreaks, there better be a mechanism in place which detects once all the cars in a certain class is fully Pro'd, you won't get any more parts card for that class. I'm mostly thinking of D (then C) class where I and many others almost got all the cars fully Pro'd.

    Thanks for your support.

    I can imagine the 599 is rough on that course. BTW, I got my time down to 128.377. Hector's SR GTR – Iceland video helped a bunch.

    Thanks, the unfortunate thing is as you mentioned, don't know if there will be another car that's much better. I have 7.5k at the moment.

    That's an interesting route, but isn't it just faster to do 2 barrels on first ramp then go right?

    Yea, GTR for sure, but they are in different classes.

    Quick question for the experts out there...

    My best time in the Enzo cup with no bonuses is 1:17.9xx. I don't have a lot of double tanks or kits, but am thinking of giving it a go for the 100 tokens. I see the Top 100 runs to 1:12.241 currently in my world (iOS).

    Do I have a shot at top 1000 at my current skill level?

    Only one way to find out; you've got to cross that threshold at some point. The tokens aren't a great reward, but you've got to make it about more than that, right? We're pulling for you. Extra tank in this one is a game-changer (and route changer).

    Give it a try with tuning kit and nitro starter, if you can make 1:15, then you have a good chance with the extra tank. I regret not participating in TLE's until I already had 45 cars. You will only improve if you expose yourself to challenges. Good luck!

    Agree with all of this, see how low you can get with 2 boosts, 1:15 sounds like a good target to aim for. And good luck, I gave up on the car after 3 refills on day 1, iOS is just brutal in these big cups, I think even some 1:11:8xx times could be in trouble by the end.

    I agree with you on this part.
    Gameloft has taken a number of steps to force players spend more credits since the fourth update. This includes lessening the number of new cars in TLE, increasing price for upgrade, and decals. To some extent, this makes sense as the ingame currency has been inflating.

    The problem is that a large number of these people with large amount of saving got their account files through cloning.

    For example, 80-90% of the 20 people winning Enzo will be cheaters - they may not cheat in this very event, but they cheated their ways to what they have now - their credits, their cars and their boosts. Ironically, the 3.5mil credit cost of ENZO is the least of their concerns.

    It is then the honest players are affected and hurt the most by GL's new rules. A lot of us are the very group of people who always ranks around 50-300 in TLEs. We don't have that many boosts to use in TLEs to win a car limited to only 20 players and we don't have that many credits to purchase 3.5million cars. We're suffering from GL's punishment to the situation caused by the cheaters.
