Ads...
A few hours ago, I was faced with an in-game update, once it installed, it forced my game to crash repeatedly. I wiped the data and updated again and the game runs just fine, but now I'm faced with a 30-second ad after nearly every race. Anyone else encountering this? I could deal with the pop-up screens... but having to sit through a 30 second video is too much, especially since I've spent a fair amount of money in this game over the past few years.

Same issue here since latest update (iOS update 5.4.0). Video ads are launching at the end of missions on slot machine for instance. After pop-up screens, this is way too much to be acceptable ! Advice: if you have the possibility, do not install this update! I have already initiated a support ticket on this but after 3 years of faithful playing and a 300+ rank obtained on the global leaderboard, I begin being reallly exhausted by such greedy RL/UBI policy (not mentioning countless bugs not solved and tickets not answered properly).

Unfortunately, I didn't read the last post earlier and have just downloaded the update. I have the same problem. Plus, despite the description, they didn't fix any bugs (again, after the fifth or so update). Instead, they only optimized ads.
This is it, this game is dead.
I swear I will never ever buy another game by Ubisoft again.
What a bunch of greedy liars. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Ugh...

Those new video ads are really annoying.
There was no ads the last two years or so for me, but with one of the last updates they started.
But with an adblock you can click them away instantly.

Please fix this now. Any purchase should have removed ads forever!!! This is breach of contract..

This is poison. Forced advertisements are ok for freemium players — it's a valid business model and considered an acceptable trade-off when a game has been offered at no charge. Forced ads are NOT ok when you've already paid for a ton of in-game content.
Nice strategy RL...piss off the people who pay your bills. The ad experience was already crappy enough (freezing/crashing/no rewards), now you do this.

I'm also seeing Ads when finishing Slot Machine Task, in the Bunker after completing the Track, after updating the game to 5.4.0 I've started seeing more Ads in the game. I've already purchased more then once and not suppose to see any more ads, RL Dev's please fix this Bug! ASAP, Thanks.

What's even more frustrating, is this was a forced update, I did not update from the play store, it was an in-game content update, so there's no way around it.
I hope that RL addresses this issue soon.

Best of luck with that!!
I've had this for the last 2 or 3 updates, and they've made it worse with this one. Unbelievable!! I'm so p*ssed off with this now.
When I started getting them before I'd get an ad after the second track played. Now it's the first one, then every 2!
I'll post the latest response I received from support in this thread...

I don't see them sorting this anytime soon because it's making them money!
Is there an ad-blocker on iOS that can stop these?
