No, not everyone can. It's a known issue to the devs, and is being worked on. Seems imperative to be able to accept challenges, if one wishes to finish high on the leaderboards.
It's not glitches. At some stage a system where cars and events are locked behind stars was introduced. Stars are earned by just playing and placing. A certain number of stars unlocks certain events, tiers and cars. In the old system, pop eel were buying high end too early and they're level was not high enough to support the cost of upgrades. They changed very early on, so I don't know how you missed it, so the system has a linear nature to it whereby as you use the cheaper cars, level up, unlock more tiers and cars, the earnings tier up at the same level so that upgrades are sustainable. The early versions had a wall whereby you weren't earning enough early on to sustain upgrades on high tier cars. The unlock system addressed that by locking them until you had earned enough stars and associated level to be earning enough to be able to use and upgrade the associated unlocked cars. At the time they also reduced the cost of upgrades and cars and also switched a lot of cars that could only be bought with dollars to credits purchases once they are unlocked. The key point being once they are unlocked because they left in that any car has buy now option so that one can buy it with dollars before the car is unlocked. This is just for the impatient who will not wait for unlocks and is not something everybody (or anybody in my opinion) needs to do as all you have to do is earn enough stars to unlock events and thereby cars for those events. And by earning stars you will be earning credits and levelling up which will also give you dollars. So basically you need to earn the stars to unlock the cars and buy them with credits or you can buy them now for dollars. There is basically two prices. Buying too early will make it more difficult to earn enough to upgrade them though and is a somewhat pointless exercise. The credits price of a car is listed in the bar that details the cars performance in the garage in the bottom right hand corner under unlocked price. They simply made it more linear because those that were buying high performance cars early were not earning enough to upgrade them and complained quite a lot so they linked them to stars, tier unlocks and player levels so that the associated increase in rewards with those categories made cars more manageable. A pretty standard way of doing things in any car related game anyway that balances things out fairer and more evenly. They merely left in the option to buy the cars early for premium currency. They still reduced prices and one can still buy the cars (in the most part) once they are unlocked for the standard currency. No problem there surely as it was a rebalancing thing that ultimately makes it fairer for the standard player who is happy to unlock cars through progress but still satisfies those in a rush and willing to buy iap. Seems fair for everybody to me.
Yep, it was a glitch. I restored my iPad with an old save and now they can be bought with credits. Maybe you didn't read what I said correctly, or I'm not explaining it well. A bunch of cars we're unlocked and purchasable with cash only, no early price, they were unlocked already. An example, alpine zar was unlocked and 1200$, after my restore its now about 800k credits. Both of those are on version 1.1.1. My update failed a bunch of times, maybe that has something to do with it. So all is well again. That freaked me out. Suddenly a good 20 cars changed to premium currency only. I'm so apprehensive to update because of real racing 3, thought this game was getting as awful too.
I've just completed the Platinum series and it was preet easy. Except the lake Como qualitifcation which was massively harder than any other eace in the series. Massively harder than the other races. I'm not saying it is impossible but I did not need mad skillz to beat the rest of the series so I fail to see why I need mad skillz to beat that one. I had the car to level 3 with $10 upgrades and level 40+ for breaks and handling and I could still only place 2nd with what I thought was a Cracker Jack run. The difficulty was way out of sync with the other races. Now I'm going to have soem cheese with my whine.
Gameloft Ryan, I have been very patient waiting on this control option, any word at all? I am at a point where I haven't really played the game at all. I'm very close to just deleting the game and moving on. I waited months for the games release that seemed to take forever and now all I see are a bunch of issues from myself and others that do not seem to get fixed after months of being patient. Thanks
I am officially really p***** at this game. Anyone else here have this issue? Playing tonight for 2 points a win and lose 15+ for a washout and even -2 for second place. Fine, that's ok with me. EXCEPT every time I work into the top twenty I can guarantee within a few games it will crash when I hit the start button and I will lose up to 16 points I think. Sometimes I think it may be more. Now this will crash me down a lot of hard driving endeavour points and it is more than just annoying. This is on a Nexus 7(2013) running 4.4.3 Under*******standably, I think, I would like to see this fixed, and easily over 70 points put back on my multiplayer. Not good enough, Gameloft, not good enough by far! Very disappointed
http://support.gameloft.com/Home/SupportForm/288/#phoneSupport Use the link to report your issue. It will be forwarded on to the development team. I recommend against using the same language you used in that post, it won't help your case. They won't be able to add 70 points to your rating. The ability to do that would leave it open to abuse and artificial manipulation which would make the whole points rating irrelevant. You'd also need some form of evidence to prove you lost them which a crashed game won't give you unless you have the logs. If evidence of the loss wasn't required, there be nothing to stop everybody and anybody looking for points to be added whether they lost them or not which would certainly be problematic so don't be surprised if adding points is something they cannot or are not allowed do. Reporting it and having crash logs may help source and resolve the issue. I would recommend keeping it polite and expletive free though.
Yes, I was sorry about the tone of the post and have reported the issue. I 'was' sorry until I just lost another 56+ points to this bug so I think you can understand the frustration here. As for proof, is there an error log anywhere as all it does is force close in the very instant I press the start button and deduct points for a complete loss. Hence why I ask here if anyone else is having this issue. Now I am going to take a second or two, then apologise for rant maybe, or maybe not. /ed NOT! Spaghetti imo, sorry. /re ed Another 14 gone after 4 games, brilliant, is Mr Curtis looking at this? Has he heard of this? Is anything being done considering that they charge for this game?
On a lighter note... For you beginning grinders, I seem to find that the TTS on Lake Como one on one (will even run itself without driving lol) is quite good along with the RK Heimstreiche. Then move on to the GTR on Top speed oval. Anyone got any better ones?
The frustration is understandable but there are some known server issues and this probably relates to that. A fix is being done but a timescale would only be a guess as they do need to ensure the fix doesn't cause other problems and that it works properly. Plus there are a few tweaks and other fixes being done so they will be packaged together and then released in an update. iOS keeps a crash log on the device so I'll assume Nexus does as well. Where it is stored on device I don't know exactly, but either a Google search or Support (at link I provided above) would be able to say where exactly crash logs are stored on Android. The game is free to play. They don't charge for it. There is of course iap, but in this case that is definitely only for the very impatient as I'm earning plenty of both currencies from the various reward systems, such as platinum events, levelling up, track mastering and just playing it to fail to see where iap would be needed
No, I'm sorry I haven't received any new information on what's coming out for the next update. I've sent out requests to see what's going on and still waiting to hear back. I understand your frustration and I'm working on getting everyone's concerns across to the Devs. This is the first instance of crashing on a Nexus when racing or starting a race that has been brought to my attention. I definitely would suggest using the link that Rip provided to send in a report about it with any crash logs so our Devs can work on fixing the issue.
Thanks again for your interest in getting everyone taken care of. Sorry to be a nag, just really like the game.
I just want to vent my spleen again about Qualification races. Can't they be brought in line with the challenge of other races at the same level?
Ok Ryan, I will have a google later for where the logs are, having said that I used a task killer and let the N7 settle down then booted the game->MP->button press -> instant force close. Definitely the 'Start' button that triggers this for me, wondering whether it is the sound it makes or what I don't know, but it is instant. Anyway it hasn't done it since I have closed everything down including the game then restarted on performance settings.....That has been about half an hour btw . But it has worked fine on the best settings with the same tab since I got it apart from the odd random close. This is now really focused down on the 'Hit and hope' button. Anyway I will dig around, thanks for the reply. /ed The droid ver is 4.4.2 not 4.4.3, as I erroneously stated earlier btw.
Sounds good. When you get the logs after a game crash just make sure to save them so you can send them in to our support team. Here's another link just in case: http://support.gameloft.com/Home/SupportForm/288/
Aye, nice one, did you actually get it? https://www.facebook.com/GT.Racing?filter=2 I have kinda given up on support lol
Why are you giving up? ): Let me know if I can help you out in any way if you've already sent in a ticket!
Yep, got every platinum series car. The last one with the greatest of ease. Maybe employ a bit of patience and understanding. It is not as easy as you seem to think it is to get around to answering the multitude of emails/report they get every day.
