Hi Nfsw,

I'm feeling with you. I'm exchanging more or less angry, but polite messages with the GL customer service for weeks now. I saw this coming: championships are ok because there's no traffic, but R&Ds have traffic in most of the tests. Even worse: When I started on Android five months ago, the BMW Hommage R&D was the first R&D I felt able to participate in as I had saved a few resources, and my skills had improved. There it was, frame rate issues, lagging and everything. I reached the final AI just an hour or two before the event closed. I could have bought keys, but as I did not make the right upgrades at the right moments, I was missing level 5 top speed and nitro, so I saw no chance and had to autopass the final AI.

Then the Fall Out boy update came. A few blurred graphics, but the delayed start bug and the framedroppings had stopped, so I could finally take part in multiplayer races and win!

And this is the point I argue about most with those folks at the customer service: They already removed the bug once, but then reintroduced it. And now they are incapable of removing it again?

This R&D's Dubai tracks were horrible for me, too, along with some others. I was behind schedule, so I bought key set after key set because I wanted to have enough time for the final AI this time, and not autopass. That was my only goal: To beat the AI with skills, not tokens.

As I wasn't used to drive such a fast car and the different challenges it poses for tracks I thought I knew well, I burnt quite a few extra tokens for keys, but then – flawless, the most beautiful race I ever did in Venice. The reward for all the horror I had gone through!

IF they are going to remove the bug and IF the are going to reintroduce it some day, we should stay in close contact and plan a strategy for future events. Playing high speed Dubai with 2 frames per second and stuff. :D But seriously, I have found some workarounds that enable me to have fun despite these issues. For example, not all multiplayer tracks have a delayed start. Try sector 8: you will even get the pre-race animation and a countdown! Alps and Azure Coast are ok most of the time, too. By avoiding tracks like Patagonia (mostly 15-20 seconds late) and choosing the ones with little or no delay AND by never risking the earned points because you never know what the next race brings under such circumstances, I could even increase my multiplayer rating.
