    [Glitch / Bug] Losing control.

    I've had a lot of times now that I COMPLETELY lose control of my Rider. It usually happens in Showdowns: Just racing my opponent, and I am faster than him. But no, all of a sudden, my Rider leans backwards, makes a backflip, which will lead to either a crash, or my opponent's ghost to catch up with me. It's ridiculous, I hoped it would've been patched this update, but no such luck.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I've found that the control issues have actually got worse since the last update. I used to lose throttle going uphill every now and then, now I have the same problem as you that the controls just seem to do what they want on a regular basis and it makes the game unplayable. I have completed the single player campagin, so the only really good thing left in the game is the bunker, but I can't play that as I'm constantly losing control which leads to lost races and tickets. I'm going to stop playing until this issue is addressed, but given that the devs won't even acknowledge the problem I imagine it's unlikely it will ever get fixed.

    Yea, throttle disengaging by itself is really encouraging "feature", especially if you have the lead for that 10 milisecs of advantage... and yes, my finger is still on it and it's not somewhere else on the screen.

    What's worse may be doing some crazy backward flips even though I'm leaning ahead on the clean climb with my finger on the right arrow...

    It annoys the crap out of me. It has lead to so many ticket loss.. Fingers crossed they fix it in the next update.

    I even customized the virtual buttons, divided them a bit. It's all the same... defaulted back since there's no improvement.

    I don't know much about mobile stuff and I'm not sure what's exactly going on here, but here's the thing I was talking about earlier that's definitely causing the worst problems for me:

    The video shows my Nexus 7 with touch screen debugging enabled and as you can see, for some weird reason when the power gets low while playing cpu intensive games, the touch screen can get into this berserk state where multiple touches at the same vertical position are not recognized properly as individual touches. That is until the charger is connected and everything goes back to normal. The video also shows how this state remains outside the game as well when there's not enough power. I'm afraid it cannot be fixed in the Frontier code.

    I've had the lean button sticking forward issue for a while, rebooting the game usually fixes it for me (temporarily)
    But now my brake/reverse button has turned into a throttle button and my back/reset just does nothing
    I was working away without the brake as messed up as it was,
    But the reset track button not working has rendered the game unplayable because all I can do is quit to restart, and fuel is just wasted every time I fault

    Hi all, yeah sadly mine is doing all this nonsense too.
    it started with bike wont accelerate at the start of the showdown (ticket still used)
    or just doing mad backflips when pushing forward.
    then my touch controls would only work, if I had my galaxy note3 layed to the left (Samsung logo on left) whilst playing,
    yesterday this problem transferred to the other side too, so sadly I now own another RLUBI game that doesn't do what it says on the tin?!?!
    & like the rest of you I have tried moving all the controls, this makes no difference.

    I don't understand how the problem can get worse over time?? but mine certainly has seemed to spread from something occasional, to a persistent problem.

    really wish I had listened to the devil on my shoulder, telling me to just hack the game in the beginning
    but stupidly I listened to the angel & instead, wasted money & time & got myself addicted to a game that is now unplayable & now I want to smash $#!T up! (well ok, not really but I feel a little better, having had my mini rant)

    @mutetus: thanks for the vid & testing bud, I did wonder if it had something to do with battery drain, I thought I had noticed this link too
    still hoping your wrong though & something can be worked out, we will have to wait & see.

    GT & uP: K2nPH

    Edit: yes it certainly seems to be a power issue, which for me is a result, in the short term, as at least i can still feed my trials addiction!
    But in the long term, if devs cant find a solution, then,??? : ((((((
    I will try & work out exactly at what percentage things start going mental on the note & i will post.

    Have you tested other games? If not, please do it and post here the results.
    I'm on an unstable Android version (5.0.1) but I'm not experiencing this issue. I just think that the game brings negatively impact on the device behavior.
