    Scratch that. I've started 2 showdowns to test the waters and I've already about about 20 crashes and my times aren't being recorded (but tickets still being taken).

    I've essentially started 2 showdowns I can't compete in.

    What device are you playing on?

    Basic tip #1:
    Delete inactive friends or just most of the friends you don't like. The less friends, the less crushes - it's been proven.
    You have a pile of golden tickets anyway.

    Basic tip #2:
    When you go to Bunker after crash (or when the game is just launched), wait for 2-3 minutes just not doing anything.
    The game is most likely to crash when loading friends' thumbnails (more specifically, when it gets to loading thumbnails for the dudes with no thumbnail).
    So wait patiently until it'll crash (for me it can happen like 5 out of 6 times) and relaunch, repeating the process.
    When it eventually loads all the icons successfully, start playing showdowns, it should be safe now.
    That way you won't lose any tickets on stupid crashing.

    Basic tip #3:
    Expect the game to crush when you go to the global map before or after the Bunker. Apparently, this way the game eats all of the device's RAM memory and iOS automatically kills it.
    As a result, go to Bunker only when the game is just launched.

    I'm on an iPhone 6. Thanks for the advice. I already knew about #3, as I always close the app after leaving the world map if I intend the give the bunker a go and vice versa. I tried #1, deleted 1 friend who hadn't logged in for about 250 days and I was able to take back all 6 tracks I had showdowns on. Hopefully they don't bother trying again!

    trying to get to legends is stressful. Im currently rank 4 with all the stars so technically im 16 stars away i think? i just had to do a top player dirty to steal a win at the last second and i hate it. i just want to get to legends when it no longer matters if you win or not.

    FYI, the maximum number of showdowns are 50

    The bright "new showdown" buttons stays dark and is disabled.

    LOL well done are there many players looking to bring their open showdowns from 2014 to 2015? or most of those 50 are still searching?

    I put those 50 showdowns yesterday in 3 packs. 10 to 1st, 15 to second, and now it just started the last 25 showdown marathon...

    I raised from rank 12 to rank 3 with the first 25... hopefully I'm hitting legend in few hours.

    yeah I guess with those large series of showdowns timing is extremely important - similar to when TimOhThey had his 40 open in the very beginning

    let us know how it goes

    tietenkin jaksaa!

    you got an extra golden ticket for this

    EDIT:
    Apparently, I'll need the 6th star on rank 1 to become a legend, the normal 5 doesn't do the trick.
