    The movement of other racer's karts aren't smooth. This is the worst because you can't even stay near other races anymore because it causes problems. Last patch, other racer's karts used to drive smoothly but now, they move in a blinking manner. They blink fast several times and move forward little by little. The problem here is that staying near them can cause unexpected collision and completely reduces your speed.

    Yeah. This happens on PC too. They just warp ahead and if you stay near it is like crashing into a brick wall.
    I don't remember seeing this before the patch.

    I can confirm all of these points are happening on my android, too.
    The first one happens since today.
    I often notice that crashes with other karts make only me stop, turn around, or smash over the track while the other kart is driving away...
    Pings are horrible at one race and fine in the next one (setting: optimal). Might be a problem with overseas players...

    I already made a technical issue post on this. Yes, it's definitely gotten laggy after the Feb 15 patch. I play on android. I live in New Zealand & my Wi-Fi/broadband is pretty decent. Never had issues even with this game, prior to this update. Game used to run smoothly at least.
    I believe NEXON is trying to test if they can get away with fewer server resources and manage a large amount of players with lesser servers. Hence, the deterioration in connection quality. This poor investment in infrastructure AND no consideration to all the player feedback in regards to the core gameplay, drifting, is really concerning! Especially right before the full cross-platform release on consoles. Gonna look really bad to new players coming in after the March launch of the official Season 01. At this point, I am not even sure if anyone from NEXON even bothers going through all these posts, cause no one from NEXON ever leaves any responses to them!

    Yes I really hope this gets fixed; this game has so much potential but the little things like this really kill the fun.
