    This update is buggy as hell.

    Two most common crashes are when you pause the game for a short spell (around 10 seconds or so) and when you resume all the on screen dash info disappears and the car just goes on autopilot in a straight line crashing into any car it hits in the lane. You can't move the car, it just continues in the lane it's in ... I left it for a few minutes to see if it would register the hits and return to the end of race screen. Nope.

    Another crash is after a great run you eventually use all your hit points and return to the screen with the level up indicator and three goals ... only for it to not show anything else (no prize money, etc) and just freeze on that screen.

    Both bugs require a quit and relaunch.

    At least you can get the game to run somewhat. Crashes 30 seconds after it loads for me every single time. Update should have been tested better than this before unleashed on the public...

    Watching an ad doubles your winnings, but the car prices from what I can tell are NOT doubled (though they are higher than before obviously... the devs warned us about this several times before the update happened).

    It actually seems MORE generous than before.

    Not a prob. Not watching ads. Sticking with original. Not rlly concerned about the extra loot, I just want to play the game uninterrupted not watch ads and play the game.

    I'd rather play the release version of Daytona Rush — not the new Daytona Crash version (increased tuning prices, car prices and game crashes — and last but not least, implemented ads).

    Wow. The kind of whining I'm seeing here is crazy. Hopefully everyone else is enjoying the game like I did. It's really a stand-out game and maybe the dev deserves more credit for the noble choice of releasing it both free and ad-less for early adopters. I think maybe adding some collectibles or trophies into the game may add some longetivity for people needing more purpose in the game. The gameplay is awesome as is. The suggestion for new power-ups seems like it should be in a different mode because some people will like that stuff and others wouldn't.

    My game is crashing about 30 seconds after GC pop-up. Playing on an iPhone 5c. I go to Diagnostic & Usage Data to find the crash logs, correct? I don't see an entry for this game, unless it's under a code name?

    Bad experience yield posts more easily than good.
    Good that this thread is kind of balanced.

    Hi,

    I don't see the posts here as whining. There are legitimate issues and those issues occurred after the update. To say people are whining is not right.

    As to the rest I agree. I love the game. I played for two hours thismorning and didn't realize it had been 2 hours. I finally made 130k to get that third tier car. I think the way the devs have implemented the video ads are totally fine. It is your choice to watch an ad it's not forced in anyway. Whenyou do look at the ad you get double the cash winnings from the race. That's a great deal to me. I personally think they should have a premium version where we pay say $2.99 and get the double cash as a perk. I would totally pay.

    However there are the bugs. I have not lost any progress yet but the game is definitely crashing intermittently after ending a lap 6 or 7 race. There is no error code and I don't see where there would be a log.

    I would love to see different tracks and the repair tool needs to be highlighted or some advance warning because they are very hard to see. Also why is there no black paint for cars? This game, if fixed and fleshed out has so much potential.

    Thank you so much Grace! Invictus, I'll pm you soon!

    Edit: Okay, my crash logs are only showing "JetsamEvents". There is no specific crash log for Daytona, but the latest jetsamevent log entry happened at the exact same time Daytona crashed and the log itself refers to Daytona as a process using the largest memory. I copied all the text and sent you a pm.

    Playing on my Iphone 6 and have a lot of fun with it. Never had any crash game !

    This app is amazing but the song becomes annoying with time.

    I feel I should apologize to Invictus for my rather harsh comments earlier on. Sure it is built around one simple gameplay mechanic but it does it really well. It manages to hit that sweet spot where you are in a zen kinda zone and then can get suddenly hairy... lol. The GFX are top notch and so are the sounds. I can tell some care went into this from the nice color palette to the sound mix.
    The original version with no ads is a real nice nod to the early adapters also.

    So... Kudos to the dev's and consider me converted. As far as my earlier comment - you deserved better.

    Wow this is feedback we need badly.. could you elaborate?
    We are struggling to reproduce crashes to no avail..
    What's is the last thing you see? Is is the finish reason displayed? Or did you get to the action shot? Maybe on the level up screen.. or just before one?

    Hi,

    I can't faithfully reproduce it either. It seems intermittent but it crashes the exact same way when it does happen. I've not seen it crash on short lap runs. I've noticed it happens when I'm in a long race. I crash, the summary screen loads partially and hangs. The entire summary screen doesn't load. For instance you don't see the 2x ad watch button. That portion is blank.

    There are no error messages. It simply hangs and I have to manually close it out and restart.

    Billy

    update plans

    Daytona Rush seen 210000 downloads this weekend, 330000 overall. :)

    Our update schedule:

    Quick ios update submitted middle this week:
    Progress lost fix and replacing automatic tap/swipe detection with an options item. These are the ones that award us with 1 star.
    Also GC crash fix end-of-race crash fix - these seem isolated and impossible to reproduce however crash logs may give us hints.

    Android version end of this week
    We try to hit Daytona 500. Leaderboards and sharing will most likely be stripped.

    Feature update with a daily... something. :) - next week
    So you are entertained until new vehicles and tracks, that take a bit more time and assets come out.

    Wonder if you could you post what would you enjoy best on a daily basis?
    Guess not a daily word game ;)
