Based on the change log it looks like it's the same update that previously hit iOS with new packs, Retry button added, etc.
My Error code 9 issue seems to have been fixed tonight!!!! I'm able to play multiplayer with the RP being counted and added to my leaderboard score. So for any other players that were having that issue, give it a check. Yours might be working as well.
Glad your issue seems to be fixed! Rip let me know some people have been having issues with their rankings being stagnant at 1300 though so I'm asking about this. I believe the reset was intended, but I don't believe being stuck at a certain rank is intended, haha. Hopefully I'll have some information later today/tomorrow. I'll post when I do.
It seems there is a bug where you cannot race any of the challenges you received. I am among the ones affected: I see the persons who challenged me and the resulting rating change (positive or negative) but I cannot actually race any in that list, all I can do is delete them (the x button next to their line) or raise a new challenge (simple or advanced). Looking on the support page I found our that they are aware of this issue and they are working on a fix. I have another question however: Is a multiplayer car rating available anywhere? or at least information on how to find out/calculate a car's rating in MP? The reason I'm asking is because when racing a fully upgraded Audi TT, the standard challenge is doable without much fuss, but the advanced challenge has become impossible because it puts me up against at least 2 Survolts which whizz pass me leaving me no change to even come close to 100m. However when racing a 50%upgraded Survolt I get to race against Corvette and Ferarri which has the same result. This is rather ridiculous since there seem to be no way of wining an advanced MP challenge anymore...not unless you finish the game and buy the best car (bugatti or whatever it may be) just to make sure you will not put against any ridiculously better car. Thanks.
I am having a new problem. With only 2 races left to win the platinum series, the event has disappeared. I get the welcome splash screen, but there is no event. Only a "stay tuned" message. Please tell me this will be fixed before the event is over?
I came across that before myself and it always does show up before the event ended so I wouldn't worry. I was worried myself when it happened but I didn't miss out though. I'm unsure of the cause but it might be something to do with their servers pushing the dat a to you, ones own Internet connection or localisation settings on the server end. But anyway, I'm confident it will appear because it always has when it happened to me. Just check regularly if you can. @echoes, yeah they are aware of the issues you mentioned. The source of the issues does not seem to be 100% clear at the moment but it is something on the server end and I have been assured it is being tackled, it's just proving difficult to find the offending code that is causing it. It may be something tied to the soft launch and international launch and some profile issues that caused but who knows really. It is a priority to them though because obviously its an important part of the game. I'm unaware of any way to compare mp car stats as you mention while in the game. I do know each car has an internal rating in multiplayer in the code and they are matched that way but I do agree the Survolt (even in A8) is just too fast and does need to be re categorised, as do a few of the other cars. I have heard of other people sending in the same points to support so I would be hopeful that some form of re jigging of the match making or of the car stats will happen. They do seem to like the Citreon Survolt quite a lot at Gameloft as its overpowered and a bit mismatched in A8 as well.
Ok. Thanks for the response. Looking at the games Facebook page is what worried me. People are posting saying they've had this issue for days. I've just had so many problems with this game. It's become my favorite game, but so many issues seem to plague it/me. It's disheartening.
It probably needed a little bit more time in soft launch because the servers don't seem to have been fully up to speed at launch and it seems most of the issues can be sourced at that end. I'm sure they'll just buy more server resources (even though they are hugely expensive) and that'll sort a lot of the problems out. Bear in mind that anything likes this takes time so do give it a chance. And obviously this isn't official Gameloft reply or anything (just in case there's any confusion). They just have some great people working for them now that will share as much as they can and listen to all the feedback. And pass it on to those that need to know it. Nobody will like reading your last sentence and they will definitely try harder which is real nice to hear.
Since you seem like you have a good grasp of the issue, would deleting the game and redownloading it fix this issue? Just looking for a last ditch backup plan. I really want that car # Thanks again.
Hmmmm. It might but I'm still pretty sure it will show up on its own so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. It is an option worth trying though. But, and this is very important, I know the game does save to the cloud but I've had some issues there myself so I would strongly recommend caution. What I would do if I were going to try out what you say, is do a full iCloud back up of my device beforehand. The full proper Apple iCloud device back up. That will ensure that you're progress is double backed up. I only say that on the off chance that the reinstall causes a cloud save issue with the back up on Gamelofts servers because if you do get an issue, you can just restore your device to the iCloud back up you've just done and all you're porgies will be in there for everything. In all likelihood, you won't have a problem with the Gameloft cloud back up or sync (most don't and it only affected me because of the soft launch I had and switching to my local store caused a profile stamp problem) but I always find it better to be cautious with any form of cloud back ups and have a double. But again, I'm pretty confident it will show up on its own anyway. If it doesn't, they'll just have to run it again.
All the things that happened after the soft launch ended are starting to happen to me all over again. First the platinum series disappeared. Now my multiplayer ratings are reset. Went from 1510 to 1300 with no wins shown. Zeroes across the boards. I restarted everything right after Christmas(due to level up bug) Worked my way back to almost 50% complete. I can't/won't do another reset. This is becoming maddening. *Edit* Multiplayer rating fixed itself. Now showing my rating as 1534. Here's to hoping the platinum series does the same thing.
Ok. Here's an update. If GameloftRyan or Rip has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. I tested this on my ipad mini first. I deleted the game, and redownloaded it. Synced up perfect, and the platinum events were there. However, the game is unplayable on a 1st gen ipad mini. Crashes about 2 minutes into a session, wether I'm racing or not. So, I then did the same thing on my iPhone 5s. Deleted, and redownloaded it. Refuses to sync. I never get the option to restore. So now I have to restore my phone, and do an icloud restore. Perhaps the platinum series will appear after the restore is complete. Maybe it won't. Either way, this is a bit much work just for a game. Why isn't there an easy option to load a saved game? I hate to use it as a comparison, but RR3 even has one.
I've just noticed I have the challenge bug. As in not being able to respond to challenges. Is there a time frame on this, Ryan?
I noticed the same last night. I'd like to try that, so I hope that's fixed soon. I'm assuming that's how people make the top of the leaderboards.
I've never been able to respond to challenges (or make them for that matter), is this even a feature?
Every time you play multiplayer, you are creating a challenge. To send a challenge to a specific friend, I'm assuming you do that in Game Center. What we are having issues with is answering those challenges. When we click on the challenge, nothing happens.
Restoring my phone to yesterday's backup allowed me to finish the premium series(Thanks for the suggestion Rip). Apparently, my pad isn't syncing data to Gameloft's servers. Very strange. Is this a common issue with the ipad mini? I've only ever been able to use it offline, but when I reconnected it, it always synced. What's confusing is that it's a fresh download.
Yeah, but as far as I've ever seen (played quite a bit over a long period of time) there's no way to race head to head so I think you're maybe misinterpreting the challenge aspect?
