Major LB slowdowns and odd Donkey Ghosts.... | Forums

Overall slowness on game/track map

For me the entire in-game track map + normal/frostpocalypse tab + Donkey LB is all VERY VERY SLOW.....it was bad before but its getting very close to unusable now with all the added Frostpocalypse features. When I first enter the track map.... its simply gone (everything stops moving) for 15-20 seconds. Once thats over, I get smaller slowdowns/stoppages when I do almost anything at all... moving the map around, going to look at track leaderboards, etc.

As I move from track to track checking the track donkey LB and making my runs.... its like I spend half my time waiting! Uggh!

Anybody else experiencing this?


Weird Track Donkey LB/Ghost issue

Okay, maybe I am insane, but this has happened to me many times already.....
1) I make my Donkey run and put myself on the LB (I race against a top 10 guy; usually play until I beat him).
2) I then either play the ghost of the next guy above me, or play the #1 ghost..... I often lose (duh) but it tells me I have a new record even when I am significantly behind the ghost.
2a) The LB popup comes up, and I watch myself move up 3-4 ranks on the track! And yes, I have much better times now. . . .

One possibility is that I am choosing a ghost but I am really playing another persons ghost who is ranked higher..... but I do good enough to get a better score. That wuodlnt be TOO bad.... Or maybe I am playing ghost from the "real" track leaderboard (because in the end all they do is just play a recording using whatever bike/outfit/positions they choose). I dunno.

But even better... I've done this WITH MY OWN GHOST! Supposedly the one I just added for the very first time. And... its like it really wasnt the ghost I just made....

Anybody else see something odd like this?

The world map has been like this for me since pretty much the original Bunker update, and I think it might have to do with my large friend list. It's either that or the large amount of tracks now available. I will say, it is sometimes better depending on my internet connection (3G/4G/WiFi) but it's still there.

As for the Donkey, I haven't gotten it yet. I am gonna wait til I reach legends to get as many as I can through showdowns and then probably just gem-buy the rest. I have enough gems by threefold, but I love saving them for some reason.

Okay, here is one case where its very obvious I did not play the right ghost....but thankfully the LB times were all valid.

Its Planks and Mozzies, on my first attempt... pick and beat opponent to get on the LB:

Pick the next higher opponent and beat their ghost big-time... but it really wasnt their ghost?

Spoiler:  Show

Note the loss of fuel, and the slightly higher coin amount.... but (as it should be based on my score) no other change in the LB
Whose ghost was that, anyway?

Whoevers ghost I did beat.... had a track time of 21.403 based on my win-screen... but there is NOBODY on that LB with that time....

Hmm I have no problems whatsoever with game/track map + normal/frostpocalypse tab. Everything is normal on my side. Can't say much about Donkey since I haven't obtained it yet.

If it helps, I'm using IPhone 5S.

EDIT: For the sandbox ID, I did get it once when I beat my personal best on one of the tracks, and then the reel suddenly shows all sandbox ID. Try restarting the game. I did that and it was back to normal.

Oh, and something ELSE weird.... on the Planks and Mozzies normal track LB... what the heck is "[Sandbox ID]" and why are there so many of them?
I've raced a couple of their ghosts and they are unique....

My game slows down randomly during tracks (usually within the first 10 seconds)

I had this problem (and still have) with old version as well. And the 'large' number of friends causing it. Before I had 1000 friends, and it was just unbearable. Now I have 200 - bearable, but it's only 200..
