Vancouver Update Hey guys, A new update is out for Subway Surfers! Jake and his friends are now painting trains in gorgeous Vancouver, Canada. In Vancouver you can team up with Olivia, the spirited girl scout, to explore the Subway and marvelous natural surroundings. The portrait of Vancouver features a whole new forest environment with tremendous tree trunks and cute cabins. And to stay in the wildlife mood weve created a limited hoverboard that looks like a Moose. I think the new board looks very amusing Also, the Weekly Hunt objects are shiny maple leaves. Theres also been room to give both Olivia and Prince K a new outfit. Olivia is dressed as an ice skater, and Prince K has added an awesome Jag Outfit to his wardrobe! Last but not least the update comes with new goals for the Awards feature, which we rolled out in the Rome World Tour. Feedback and questions are very welcome. I will do my best to answer.
Vancouver looks great! I love how different you're able to make each city within the structure of the game. The lag issue seems gone, too. Cheers.
Hi eikichionizuka69 and welcome to the forum, We do not have an auto save function in the game. However, there is a workaround: You can save the game by making backups of your device. When you then change devices, you should use this backup to re-install Subway Surfers. This "trick" of course only works if your new device is running the same OS as your old device. I hope this answers your question! If not you are very welcome to ask again
Thanks guys! I'll let the team know - I also think they are doing a great job making the game look different for each update
hmm, maybe like sync what we buy/get with facebook account at next update because it can sync the highscore with facebook now, right?
That's right, the high score is connected to your Facebook account. However, syncing all the game data is a whole other story. The way the game is set up now, that's not technically possible. We are of course constantly working to improve Subway Surfers. For the moment, though, the sync-feature is not a viable solution. I should also point out that the backup "workaround" I suggested in the previous post is exactly that: a suggestion to work around the problem! There is no completely safe way to transfer your progress - and you should always pay extra attention when you are dealing with the entire data of your device. Let's say you've got a backup from a month ago and want to revert the game to this state. If you use the workaround in this case, then you'll also change or delete all the progress in your other games/apps.
Question: I've gotten several of the "super" treasures/collectibles, but none of the regular ones. Could that be because I already found all of the regular ones before the new award system, and so it will not show them again? Bug or just luck? Intuitively I'd think the "super" ones would be more rare. I like the new incentive to try power jumpers: a powerup at the top.
hmm, so it's still impossible right now so maybe i'll stick to how it is right now, and play from scratch again in my android phone another suggestion (but, seems like more impossible to realize) : make a "kiloo account" like angry bird's rovio account, so it can sync score, coins etc to the account, and if one account log in to first device, the same account at 2nd device will automatically logged out haha, just write what's on my mind right now haha
To backup my games, I use a PC program called iFunbox. It lets you browse your device's file structure. You have to copy the documents folder to your PC. Your save file is in there. Not the easiest workaround but at least you don't have back up the entire phone which isn't practical at all for one game. Hopefully they add a cloud save soon, be it through facebook, icloud, etc.
Tokyo 2014 Update Hey guys, Jake and the Surfer crew have traveled to Tokyo, Japan, for the latest stop on the World Tour. In Tokyo you can surf beneath blooming cherry trees and dodge your way through the vibrant Subway with charming Harumi. You can also get your hands - or rather feet - on a new powerful board, the Windglider! As the name suggests, the board is working kind of similar to a glider plane. That is, when you jump, the board will let you drift in the air longer and thereby ensure a smooth landing. Both Harumi and Ninja have traveled to Tokyo with new Outfits in their bags. Harumi is now also sporting a Meow Outfit, and Ninja is dressed in white from top to toe in his Yang Outfit. Finally, there are small dolls to collect in the Weekly Hunts, and a new Board Rider Award to reach for. I hope you like the new and colourful setting, and that youll have a chance to unlock the Windglider board. Please dont hesitate to leave your comments and feedback
already try the windglider, but it seems a little hard to control, the landing time still unpredictable, just back with my fave hoverboard, the daredevil btw, i found some bug, or glitch on ipod 4, when it's not connect to internet, the friendlist on scoreboard is came out of the frame, but it doesn't matter sorry can't prove some screenshot maybe next time
Love the new update. Then again, I love all the updates as it changes the scenery and adds soe gameplay elements. I am, however, still having a lag problem that has continued happening since I complained about it a page or two back (like two or three updates ago) and it is causing crashes. It isn't horrible, nor is it making the game completely unplayable, BUT I have given up going for high scores now as it is impossible to play for long periods of time without crashing and using tons of keys and boards. Stats: -iPad 3 with 64GB RAM. -It usually doesn't happen right away, meaning that I can close the app and restart it and get a little while of playing time in before the intermittent lag starts happening. -It isn't a constant thing, as I said, but happens here and there, but enough to render the game momentarily unresponsive to a swipe, causing me to crash sometimes. -Something seemingly new with this latest update is that both in runs and in the various screens (home, Me, Buy, etc.) the game sometimes takes a while to respond to pressed buttons. It is especially frustrating when I am trying to pause the game for a moment and the button takes a few times of pressing before it works, but this is also happening in the other screens, like when I want to check the trophy's, purchase stuff with coins, or whatever. Any idea what's going on?
Hi eikichionizuka69, Thanks for the feedback and heads up regarding the glitch - we'll look into it. You are right about the Windglider. It can be a little tricky to determine the landing time. However, I also think that's one of the features which makes the board unique. The Windglider's Air drift power is something very different from all the other boards! Also remember that you can always time the landing yourself by swiping down
Hi ChiroVette, Thanks for the kind words about the Tokyo update! About the lag issue: It could happen if you are having a lot of other apps running in the background. Or if you don't have much free space left on the device. We are constantly improving the game to run smoothly on both 'older' devices as well as the newest. That being said, we have not really experienced issues with the game running on an iPad 3 before. So if the lag issues continues to bother you, we would appreciate it if you could give us some detailed information about the incidents - i.e. how long time you played, are you having multiple apps running in the background ect.
Jeppe, I have the 64 GB model, which has a 57.1 GB capacity and I have 46.8 GB available, so that isn't the problem. I also rarely run any background programs while playing the game. Length of time played is only a factor in that the lag doesn't happen right away, when the game has been loaded. However, I have experimented with pausing the game (ie. taking extended breaks) and this does not reduce the lag when I come back to the game even when the game has been paused for a long time. This lag and the newer problem of non-responsiveness to button presses (pause and various home screen menu items) is getting really frustrating and is basically making me not play the game except very little.
You have a lot of GC friends Chirovette? Have you noticed if the lag gets worse as you beat one friend's score and cycles to the next? I play on iPad Air now so I don't have a single issue. But on iPhone 4 it would lag horribly when loading the next friend milestone. So I just deleted them all and smooth sailing. Not saying you should delete them all, but maybe it's time to purge the ones you don't play with anymore?
Hey there, and thanks for the answer. Actually, I need MORE friends (or at least more who play Subway Surfers) because the "Friends Are Gold" award is taking forever! I haven't even gotten Bronze on that one and can't remember the last time one of my Facebook friends played the game and I got any coins toward the bronze. Oh and I only have 19 friends that play SS, so I don't think that's the problem, is it?
