The Lowrider update for Pixel Car Racer, while introducing exciting new content, has unfortunately brought with it some significant optimization issues for iPhone X users. Prior to the update, the game displayed perfectly fine on the iPhone X, utilizing the standard rectangular display format as it would on any other iPhone. However, the attempt to optimize the game for the iPhone X’s longer, rounded display has resulted in several problems.
One of the most noticeable issues is the zoomed-in display upon launching the game. Elements are cut off, such as the iconic yellow RX7 on the home menu being partially obscured. The bottom menu bars are pushed to the very edge of the screen, making them difficult to interact with.
Navigating to the garage reveals further problems. The steering wheel and house icons overlap, hindering accessibility. In the parts store, interacting with items displayed on the top wall, such as ECU, cosmetics, brakes, and exhausts, becomes impossible. Even the engine swap crate is barely visible, with only the top half of the RB26 engine showing. These issues significantly impact the gameplay experience.
These are just a few examples of the optimization problems introduced by the Lowrider update. While the update brought new content, these display issues severely impact usability and enjoyment of Pixel Car Racer on iPhone X devices. Hopefully, the developers will address these issues soon so players can continue enjoying this excellent mobile racing game.
The core gameplay of Pixel Car Racer remains engaging, and the pre-update experience on iPhone X was flawless. Addressing these optimization issues is crucial to restoring the game’s playability for iPhone X users. A prompt fix would allow players to fully experience the Lowrider update and continue to enjoy the depth and customization Pixel Car Racer offers.
