    you can optimize the game as you want. You can change the buttons, controls, settings etc. - maybe you have not seen this yet. Yes its a port and not a native complete new game for mobile. But I do not see that as bad to be honest.

    If I’m comfortably leading for 5.5/6 laps I am beginning to find it tediously how predictable the “uncontrollable and unavoidable smash up knocking me back to 15th” is.

    Controls also sometimes drop so steering no longer works. Idk if it’s tapping accelerate or brake or sth, but I have also lost multiple races because suddenly steering borks and oops straight into a Barrier, flipped around a dozen times. Not good.

    When playing with Xbox Controller, the game pauses, when pressing the left analog stick by mistake, while racing. Is there an option to prevent this behaviour?

    Is reverse / accelerator getting stuck on a bug or a feature? Seems to be associated with damage sometimes, associated with not crashing into anyone in destruction derbies sometimes, but perhaps that’s also coincidence and this is just a game breaking bug. Mashing them sometimes helps, often doesn’t.

    I’m curious, what difficulty are you playing at?

    I am experiencing touch controls getting unresponsive during races as well, feels like the controls loose „connection“ to your touch input and you have to lift off and retouch to reconnect.

    strange no one caught this in testing.

    Happens on iPhone 13 pro max (iOS 16.x) and iPad Air 3 (padOS 15.6x)

    Edit: Don‘t get me wrong, the game is real fun otherwise

    This is a pretty long race. It’s part of an 8 race championship.

    Almost all the damage you can see is caused by control failures. I would guess 6-8 of them. In every damage causing instance, this was either a steering fail (steering stops working) or a throttle fail (throttle gets jammed on full). Twice, it was both, forcing me - at full speed - head on into a wall. Thumb, by this point, completely off the accelerator side of the screen. “Vroom.”

    I am second because I caught the car in first up, perhaps six times. Each bloody time, I then experienced a control failure. Throttle ruins a corner, and I go shooting into a wall / off the map. Steering disappears, I drive merrily off the map.

    No, it isn’t where my thumb is. I can see where my thumb is. I’m alert to this. Eg on the lhs steering, repeatedly lifting and replacing my thumb does nothing. Yes, it’s going down in the right place. No, no control slider appears. Just blank on the lhs. WHAP WHAP WHAP goes the thumb. Nothing. If I clock - usually by which time I’ve crashed - the only solution is pause / unpause, or quit (which is a big hit 75% of the way through a looong race, when I had been in first). Same for throttle. It APPEARS to be triggered into jamming by pumping the throttle. Again, it can only be unjammed by pause.

    This also happens with brake AND handbrake - I assume this at least, because sometimes accelerate no longer works no matter how many times I press it (yes, this happened in this race too, at least this didn’t crash me into anything / off the track). Sometimes I get locked inescapably into full throttle in reverse. I can only assume this is the two separate brakes - handbrake / stopping, normal brake / reverse - getting stuck.

    I’m enjoying this game or I wouldn’t be on the 4th championship. I’m not enjoying having to race below my capacities and difficulty level because, on a long race, repeating bugs may stack me repeatedly head first into walls and off corners, and so I have to assume I may not be able to win even if I can catch the race leader up. Five, six, seven, more times.

    Good grief.

    Excellent game, incredible with X-Box controller, works perfectly on iPhone 14 Pro Max, up to now.

    The fact that you've addressed the download data being saved to iCloud issue so promptly, and actually mentioned it in the update notes, is telling. Said it a million times before, but you guys are the BEST.
