    I too play this one daily. Love it! Burn, you're always at the max number of games.

    I'm hoping the next update includes tracks with different levels or height changes. Tracks with up and downhill sections would rock!

    Yeah, I started up a few random games the other night and got the same person 4 times. Once I finish ones of those I'll post in here and let you guys whoop on me some.

    Did you guys see the interview at Sprites and Bites?
    http://www.spritesandbites.net/2012/03/14/disc-drivin/

    The interviewer has played quite a few games.

    As others above have said, this is the ONLY async game I would never delete - it gets played every day, usually around 15-20 games on the go.

    Still hoping for what I requested when it was first released, up and down, multi-level tracks, ability to turn a power-up ON so it fires immediately to make jumps easier etc.....

    YES. So happy there's a new update. I went about five days without taking any turns which is the longest I've gone since launch so this update hit at a perfect time to keep me going. Start a game with me: zman2100

    And back2this you're in too many games!

    We're already in one together! We'll try a new one once it's finished.

    Edit: The tracks are sick. Just did a lap on all the new ones through pass-and-play. Already in three online games using them as well! Good stuff.

    How on earth can I register as a new player with a new email address? I can sign out of my old account under settings but there is no option to sign up.

    Push notification badges for the win! Well, they would be 100% if iOS would do notifications consistently when playing on multiple devices, but that's not DDs fault. Still useful, though. I haven't tried the new update yet, but am looking forward to checking out the new tracks.

    Is anyone else getting issues with the server on this? For the last few weeks it just gets stuck on "updating" and "sending shot" constantly, and keeps failing to connect to the server. It's nearly unplayable and I don't really know what's wrong with it. It had been totally fine until the update.

    At times, your disc might be wobbling ever so slightly (almost imperceptibly) and the server cannot register the turn until it stops completely. It could actually take a few minutes. But that shouldn't happen all the time, just those rare times when it doesn't settle right away.

    I've had no issues, neither have the guys I've been playing with.

    There've been a few occasions when I've seen that happen in a server issue sense, but only a few and I've played a lot. Now it will fail to send a turn if I lose my 3G signal during the middle of it, but it will still send it the next time I get a data signal back.

    It's not so much the sending shot, more when I open the app it just sits on "updating" and nothing happens until I quit and reload. It seems to work about one time in ten at the moment.
