    Me too (all 498 of them...) I literally get them faster than I can use them. . .once you are in the 'end-game" phase, it only makes sense to use them when you are grinding for parts. . .if you are trying ot get better scores on a single track it just slows you down and wastes fuel to try and get that tiny amount of coins "doubled".

    Thanks for the tips guys xd

    What should I do about my lagging/crashing problem when connected to the internet, it's really affecting the game as I can't use the slot machine or anything like that, also when trying to upgrade my bikes it makes me turn my wifi on every time.

    Just about every high ranked player "cheated". We unlocked every track a few days after the 2nd content update, when it would take at least a month of grinding to do it legit and not pay. It becomes the worst grindfest/waiting game I've ever played.
    This game IS a serious grindfest; there may be worse, but this one is bad enough. Its exceeded my normal threshold for F2P, but the game is so nice to play that I will stick around until I have completed everything (not much longer now).

    Like many others, I havent paid anything (we can point you to links that prove its simply not worth it to spend any money on gems/coins for upgrading).

    And yeah, there was a time when there were ways to avoid the incredible upgrade wait times, and to take advantage of the slot machine more... but they have pretty much plugged those two loopholes up, and the fixes are working their way over to Android (are both there yet? I am not sure). Even then, those things just made upgrading easier...it didnt give them "skill". You can still find plenty of instances where people with lower-upgraded bikes are trouncing people with full upgraded bikes. It didnt really unbalance the game. Its the people that hack their runs that truly bother me, and thankfully there arent to many of those on IOS as the moment.

    Report it on the appropriate support forum, and make a ticket here
    https://support.ubi.com/en-us/
    tell them game version and device platform / device info of what you are running.

    Honestly, if you cant keep connected to the internet without crashing, it means you cant use the slots, you cant upgrade your bikes, and you cant really take advantage of the leaderboards. Thats pretty much a game-breaker right there.

    Thanks, I've made a question, hope it's the golden ticket to all my problems. It is a game-breaker for sure.

    Can you connect to Uplay at all? If so you should be able to get all your progress back.

    if youve never been able to connect to uplay to save your game then yeah each time you reinstall you have to start all over. otherwise you only need to play the first few levels to get to the village where you can reconnect to uplay and download your last save.

    my advice is to save all your gems and DONT upgrade your bikes unless absolutely necessary until after you have finished the main storyline. Grinding for parts near the end game to unlock more tracks was easily the worst part of this game for me. I started replaying on an android tablet and gave up once i remembered how bad the level 5 parts grinds are.

    Assuming you get your connection issue straightened out I recommend not bothering with ANBA until after you have unlocked the tier 3 tracks. Once you have them unlocked go straight to it and play it straight through until at least getting all the berserker blueprints.

    Once you have that all out of the way then start worrying about good times on tracks.

    you have to play the first few missions, then it prompts you to log into uPlay. when you connect with your account you should jump back to where you were before

    alternatively you can try clicking the uplay icon next to the inventory icon and seeing if you can connect immediately from there

    Yes, sriskus makes a good point (I think others have said it too in various ways). Until all quests are gone:

    1) Do no better (Gold/silver/etc) than what a quest needs..
    2) Use your slot machine often; try to get it to level 17/18 or so; thats around where the highest level slot machine tracks become available.
    3) You can get the bikes to do your quests, but dont upgrade any of them unless you really need to (you might for slot machine quests). When push comes to shove, the 3 bikes to lavish upgrades on when you need to are the Agile bikes: Tango, Mantis, Berzerker. In almost all cases, one upgrade on these bikes is worth at least 2 upgrades on any other bike.
    4) Once you get ANBA, then feel free to do it anytime, until you get all your Berzerker blueprints and ANBA tracks. Stop after that until quests are done, or you need some quick money.
    5) If you think you are stuck, the answer is almost always to do more/other quests.
    6) (and this is a personal preference that worked out well for me...) try your best to not spend gems until you have a stash of at least 100 gems on-hand. So when you really do need to spend gems for something that is important (slot machine tracks, the bridge to the 6 tracks later, etc) you will always have enough to do the job. If you start getting too much excess... buy fuel points.

    Once the quests are done, you will be set to milk ANBA and the slots for all the money/tracks they can give you....to focus on your desired bikes to your hearts content.....and go for LB positions. You will not have wasted valuable coins/gems/parts for things that will not benefit you.
