    If I'm correct, today is the one year anniversary of this games release...
    Was kinda hoping for a birthday surprise update of some kind. Oh well...

    I was hoping for a release of the "sandbox" mode from the glitch. It lets you create a custom race.

    Their pattern tends to be to release updates in Friday's or Monday's, mostly Monday's.
    I've my fingers crossed still for something as there is a large content update in process.

    Just launched the game.... Seems there is a birthday present! (Although I already have it)

    Edit: it does have a cool new paint scheme though!

    Got a problem with updating the game. I haven't played for a couple of months, logged into the game, and the game asked for a 103 MB update. Said my 13704 MB free space didn't have enough room for the game's update, and then closed itself.

    Anyone else experience anything like this? Work-arounds? Help!

    You're not the only one to have this problem, it's quite common by all accounts and it seems there's no real solution other than to delete it and reinstall.

    Of course that leaves the problem of your game save but if you did a cloud save the last time you played, you'll be fine because you can just just redownload that save once your logged in and through the cloud save restore option in the game settings.

    You can also use iexplorer to transfer the documents folder in the app itself to your desktop before you delete the app and reinstall and then just copy back and overwrite the documents folder once you've reinstalled. You're save file is in there somewhere.

    Just google iexplorer or ifunbox, they both do the same thing.

    No.. Sounds like it wants to update the whole game not just the 103MB...
    What version are you on?, the current one is 2.0.3

    Ah, I see RIP beat me to it.. :)

    Thanks, Rip. My only fear is that once I uninstall it, I may not end up re-installing it!

    Although a Porche does sound quite nice... might be worth the length download.

    What kind of Porsche is available for free? I didn't see any free ones earlier when I opened the app.

    I hope the painting is not so expensive. :confused:

    I am afraid that there is much gold or R$ costs.

    Update is out.
    Seems decent.
    One good addition is gold rewards for achievements.
    It's not a whole lot of gold but definitely a positive step.

    The Astons are real nice and DB9 seems to be a solid handler. Reasonable price as well at 230,000 in currency.
    DBS is 110 gold and V12 Vantage S is 425,000 in currency. Before 20% tier unlock discount.
    Vantage looks like it'll be the group winner.

    Extra series in Vendetta series that has nice mix of cars. 911 turbo, Aventador, F12, GTR and Mclaren. Should be a good series, if not one of the best in it.

    Can't say much about vinyls, customizations and what not as they are not really my thing. They seem to be all gold priced though.
    There is ride height, vinyls, alternate paint schemes and the usual. No body kits but seems to be a lot of rims options.

    First off: cuatomization is all gold-based and car based. You buy vinyl packs, colours, etc. for each car model, and you have to pay for the same colour/vinyl/... if you want to apply it to a different car. Once bought, you can change it as many times as you want with the others purchased.

    Vinyls are of different types. You have standard shapes, letters (international alphabet), numbers, lines, competition vinyls (checkered flags, etc.) and several others I forgot for sure. You can apply them anywhere in the car, change their position/size/color and even draw one on each side automatically.

    Depending on the brand, you don't have all the options. For example Ferrari has only got stock colours, no special colours. You can use big square vinyls to change the car colour to a non-stock colour (image attached), but you need to apply several throughout all the car surfaces to get all the car covered.

    Ride height can be modified for front & back axles independently. There are also many rim models, but they are the same for all the cars (i.e. No special/unique rims depending on the car).

    I'm not too much into customization either, but I admit RR3 customization interface is very, very easy to use and results are beautiful (not the pink Ferrari, mind, that was just an example :p)

    Yea, it is really fun to customize cars. I went for a nice simple design for my Huayra, a little more complex on my BMW, i just did random designs on my Mercedes, and i just went all out on my Porche, and now im hardly have any gold xD. I would like to post pics but idk how to on mobile. Can anyone tell me how?
