Level 3
My Episode Race disappeared this week. Since Candy Royale has never returned, it's my only way to earn gold bars. Will it come back soon?
Everyone should get the Episode Race as far as I can work out.
However, I lost mine too for a short while. This is how I got it back: I closed the app, force closed my device and made sure I had the latest update of the App installed. Then I opened everything, made also sure time and date is set correctly on my device. The following day, I played and passed one old level and the Episode Race was back. Try this and hopefully it will work for you.
If by chance you do not receive the prizes or see the victory screen when completing a race, tap/click on the blue icon with the race flag. Sometimes a race does not start and you have to tap this icon to make it happen. she starts...
Thank you! I will give it a try. It didn't work for me.
I don't even have the blue flag icon like I used to. I played an episode already with the episode race gone. I don't want to start another one until I have it back.
I wouldn't play either, it's the only way to earn gold and for me what makes me want to keep playing. I'd suggest you log in and play one old level that you can pass (scroll back level 10,000) and then see if it comes back. Mine did not come back until I had done just that. My flag had disappeared, like yours.
I will keep trying...
Welcome to the King Community.
We are very sorry that you are missing the ad video feature. Actually this feature is controlled by test group that is, the test group automatically determines who will get or lose the feature when.
Moreover this type of feature is not permanent i.e. you can miss the feature anytime and get back the feature again after a certain period of time.
So always keep the game app updated and keep playing the game, hope you get your favorite feature back soon.
Thank you.
Hello Jules @JulesCrushit🤗 Hearty Welcome to our sweet King Community!
I am thinking it could be because you are at the top most levels, and there might not be other players to compete in the race with you🤔🤔
I experience this issue in Soda Saga... when I finish the levels as soon as they come out, the Episode Race won't show up! But, when I wait for few weeks to play the game, the Race is back on!! I am thinking that Candy Crush Saga also would work just the same!!
So, waiting for few weeks to play your game would resolve the issue🙂
Thank you for joining our Community and have a great rest of the day🍫🍫
I play the latest released levels for mobile user and have the Episode Race every week, without fail. If I didn't I would not bother playing any more. I hope this won't change now. There have been moments recently in both my games where it disappeared but I always got it back by trying switching off my phone and waiting 24 hours.
@christinewupp @JulesCrushit Since I have been a member of this forum (Feb 2021) there have been complaints from players near to the end of the map about the Episode Race disappearing. It used to be that those near the end of the map would get the message to start the episode race only for it to disappear once they played a level. Some of the players started to experiment by not playing all of the newly released episodes in one day. I could be wrong but I don't seem to remember the experiment helping anyone.
The Episode Race is a record of how quickly previous players completed the episode you are currently playing, so when you are near to (within a hundred levels) the end of the map there will not be the necessary completion record for the Episode race to work.
I haven't reached level 5000 yet and I already get a message that tells me that only 4% of players have made it to the level I am playing. Where you are in the game must mean that even fewer people have played the levels.
I would say that I think Christine is the first player within an Episode of the end of the map that has said they don't have any issues with the Episode Race.
Long story short Jules there is nothing you can do to force the Episode Race to appear other than possibly taking a week off playing to let other people play the levels you are on. Doing this might allow a record to build up to the extent that your Episode Race starts to work again.
