I have full confidence that Gameloft will get this running well on ipad 3 again after an ios 7 update. Just it is hard to play now in non ipad retina and framerate issues. Tabletop racing has the same retina problem, plasma sky and blazing star don't work now on ios 7, but with updates, things will hopefully be good again. Maybe I will get back to Asphalt 8 with a new ipad 5. Anyway, I will be back after the ios 7 update. Can't play a8 like this. So I'll be back.
really old post but... I love gate drifts too! it's the precision requirement which makes it challenging AND satisfying when perfect drifts are made haha and infection races... it always comes down to whether everyone explodes at the same time = fair race, or when the majority isn't infected and you explode right before the end..... but — I actually find it really exciting when you plan strategically! it's insane when you get from last to first in just moments, because of the infinite nitro, or because you infected enough for everyone to explode. (at the starting seasons, using a lotus in infected races is crazy because you don't even get the chance to be infected, and you'll be too ahead that you won't even see any other racers on the map.... XD)
We are aware of some of the issues that are happening with iOS 7 and our games. It has something to do with the large amount of memory that the new OS uses compared to the previous version. If you're having similar issues the more information you can provide our support team, and in turn our Dev team, the better. Follow the link I'll put below and provide any crash logs or description of the issue so that the team can work on narrowing down the issue and push out an update Here's the support link: Support Link for Asphalt 8
The drift events are cool, though I find them quite difficult. Kinda reminds me of skiing or snowboarding! In a car!
How does Asphalt 8 run on the ipad 4 with ios 7? Is it the same as before? apple has turned my ipad 3 into a dinosaur after ios 7. Time to get an ipad 5 unless updates fix everything.
Thanks for taking these things seriously, Ryan! (Well, as serious as one should take a racing game. ) I didn't want to name anyone at first, because nobody wants to be a rat, and because you can never be sure if weird behavior you see is due to technical issues with multiplayer. However, they're out in full force right now, and I can't resist any longer, so I'll start with two pretty obvious ones (EDIT: I'll update this list as I go; and given the ever-growing dimensions of the list, I guess sorting it alphabetically makes sense): • "_Super_Racer_": Respawns all over the place, most likely infinite nitro. • "-+[durox]+-": Infinite nitro, level 99. • ":!:AAMER:!:": Level 99. (Disconnected right after the race started, so not sure about nitro.) • "!Dx 33": Infinite nitro, level 99. • "(!KEKS!)": Infinite nitro. • "[..sunny83..]": Infinite nitro, level 99. • "[W1lly+75]": Level 99. (Disconnected shortly after the race started, so not sure about nitro.) • "7 0 0": Infinite nitro. • "7283618": Infinite nitro. • "Aginecourt": Infinite nitro. • "akzdr": Infinite nitro. • "Armen/Cruze": Infinite nitro. • "AULeprechaun": Infinite nitro, level 99. • "berat_nanang": Infinite nitro, level 99. • "chinese-hh": Respawns all over the place. • "danil_abr": Infinite nitro. • "Dlr Junior": Infinite nitro, level 99. • "Driver 2558": Respawns all over the place, most likely infinite nitro. • "Driver 3266": Respawns all over the place, infinite nitro. • "Driver 4170": Infinite nitro, level 99. • "Driver 4652": Infinite nitro. • "Driver 5846": Respawns all over the place, infinite nitro. • "Driver 7045": Infinite nitro, level 99. • "Driver 7537": Infinite nitro. • "Driver 9236": Infinite nitro. • "FeTiff": Respawns all over the place, infinite nitro. • "Hong Hyun Choi": Respawns all over the place, possibly infinite nitro. • "JackP1030": Respawns all over the place, infinite nitro. • "kevin.tx": Infinite nitro. • "Law Zi Hao": Infinite nitro, level 99. • "ramshaupai": Infinite nitro, level 99. • "Rocker Ocelocoatl Ceyaotzin": Level 99. (I left the race before it started, so not sure about nitro.) • "ryuhong": Respawns all over the place, possibly infinite nitro. • "Sergiomcms": Respawns all over the place, infinite nitro. • "shawn cargo": Infinite nitro, level 99. • "Sonnguyen6789": Infinite nitro. • "SSASHACHE": Respawns all over the place, infinite nitro. • "Steason Tee": Respawns all over the place. (Too much to make any statement about nitro.) • "tzx9999": Infinite nitro, level 99. • "weikhang31": Level 99. (Slow car compared to mine, so not sure about nitro.) • "x2j1": Infinite nitro, level 99. In addition to these, there are tons of cheaters whose names contain characters that Asphalt 8 can't display — all you see is some squares. I'm not including those, because they are most likely impossible to identify unambiguously. And yes, I do realize that pointing out individual cheaters doesn't help much, as they can always just create new accounts. But if we're lucky, these examples will help Gameloft find patterns to identify cheaters.
No problem! If you want to post publicly on the thread you can just report the issues you see. That way you don't have to worry about putting anyone on blast and then them seeing it. We all know the Internet is a great place to get mad and rage! I'll be sure to bookmark the post so that I can feature it in my weekly feedback email.
Out of curiosity, what multiplayer rankings do you guys have? I will be the first to say that the ranking actually doesn't tell you much, because I have noticed that you a lot of times get opponents that have inferior cars to yours.
I was #23 a few hours ago. Then I encountered the biggest barrage of unlimited nitro cheaters I've seen so far — every game had at least one. So a few games later, my rating has dropped by 43 points, and I'm at #37. Ryan, if you guys can't put an end to this, you might actually be better off giving everyone infinite nitro in multiplayer. Otherwise, you're actively encouraging cheaters.
Gaaah,how can u have a rating of 23-37? :-| And I was so proud of my 109 rating! But I actually dont have the flashiest car! I bet u have one of those S-cars, right?
Yeah. I have to admit I'm one of those boring fully loaded Agera guys now. I used to race the Survolt and McLaren MP4 a lot when I started multiplayer. Both are great cars that perform well above their rating. As far as my S class car history goes, I first bought the Silver Lightning, because it looked so cool, because it was electric, and oh, because it was fast. That thing does not like anything but racing along a straight line, though handling is awful, so you have to drift in every corner, which means you end up being slower than most other S class cars. So I grinded my way to the Ferrari FXX, then used that in multiplayer to grind my way to the Agera. (I wish there was a way to select your car after the race is chosen, by the way. On some of those tracks, nothing beats a Ferrari FXX and its insane acceleration.)
If you can not defeat them, join them! Which Track specifically are you referring? Agera reaches 517 Km/h Where's ferrari FXX! Don't see it on my rearview...
It's something that takes time. Our Dev team has to look into the issue and investigate it. Then they have to figure out a fix for it and push it out with an update. Add in any action against the accounts that are hacking and you can see how it might take a little time. We definitely don't encourage cheating though. We really want everyone to have a fair and fun experience when playing our games. That's why getting feedback about these issues is important, so that I can forward them along to the appropriate people to get the issues resolved
