    Post here is you have had 3 successful 10-min showdowns.

    Suggestion: There IS a popup at game startup that states the beginning of the Blitz Season, rules, etc. If you have not seen the pop-up at the beginning of the game, then stop your game entirely and restart it once more, one time. That way you are sure you are in-sync and there isnt any residual 24-hour showdown aspects left in your game (dont know if thats possible but better safe than sorry).


    I see wwaayy too many people posting with 24-hours showdowns going on, even when starting showdowns after the Blitz season started. Not going to start one ntil I see that its actually working for some folks.


    If you have played 3 successful 10-minute games, please post, so those of us more cautious about bugs etc will know its safe to go in the water.

    I played one showdown one hour after the new season started, it started a 10 minute showdown and worked ok, i could not reach the bunker for a few minutes but 3 minutes before the showdown ended it was back to normal.
    I just finished two other 10 minute showdowns and it worked perfect. I won all three, made 40-45 chips per showdown.
    I did not have any other showdowns running from last season.

    I actually like this new format, maybe 10 minutes is a bit too short though, i hope we will have more options/choices in the future.

    I think it is safe now, i have played 3 showdowns succesfully now, and all my 24 hour showdowns that were started in the blitz season just vanished

    If they're going to make the showdowns 10 minutes, then at least make sure the connections are stable. Since the season started, half the time I can't even connect to the Bunker when the internet is perfect on my phone.
    Thats my biggest fear now.... they have always had delays in matchmaking (45+ minutes) and unstable connections where my fastest way to recover was to restart the game (took 3-4 minutes). Now.... those actions out of my control can often mean I lose a star if I am not right on top of it.

    Not cool.

    showdowns are working absolutely fine for me, i feel for those who are having problems! i did start too many at once though at first, oops! hopefully all is fixed soon because i am quite enjoying this idea, as it means i don't have to constantly check my phone to use tickets/try and beat times, just pop on for 30 mins and play 3 showdowns, seems pretty fun!

    I have a 4G router,20Mbps,ping under 20,still takes 30 sec after a new showdown,5 tries for 3 tracks are so uncool
    And then these combination of tracks,have to waste 8 more golden tickets -_-,the other guy like 20-25.

    I had one and I had to use 2 G.olden Tickets..I won. Look pretty fair because you have to play 100% since immediately and this will prove surely your skill. I'm ok with that.
    Anyway I can understand skepticism, especially in people with connection troubles.
