It seems if you start a new episode but stop after the first or second game then quit playing for awhile then come back ,the episode race apparently goes on without you and then when you trigger the race prompt you are already behind. Seems like a glitch in the game. Has happened to me many times. So not sure there is anything you can do about it except to move through that episode race without a significant time delay.
Hello, Mr/Ms Newbie,
Welcome to the forum! 👋
This is a long known issue, I'm afraid, but Support refuse to help. See here for reference:
Always dead last in episode race
@QueenB hasn't provided any info either. 🤔
At this point, it's unlikely your game will ever get fixed. I'd suggest you created a new King account, as right now your main source of gold bars is broken beyond repair. Right, @Kerrie? 😬
Good luck! 👍
Yes the game goes on without you. Recorded times are used for the race.
I make sure I have enough time to finish or at least get most of the episode race done or I don't play on my main account. The episode race actually works in my main account.
I have this same problem in another account. I contacted support, they basically said they know there's a problem but don't know why it's happening. They did say it can happen if you change the date/time and there's nothing they can do.
This is why if I don't have time to complete an episode race which works in main account I will play in my second where it doesn't matter because I'm always in last place.
This is my opinion: I don't think this is a priority to fix since it's better for them if it doesn't work. It forces us to buy the boosters and gold when needed.🤷
