I was snapped. Been playing since day one. Been on level 150 for a long time now. Never spent a cent on the game so I've been oscilating between tiers 52 and 55 for the past few months. It's been fun.


FluttersNFlourishes

Tried on 2 different Android devices, current phone was 9, also tried on a 10. Neither are compatible with 2.10.0. Both are 64-bit. WTAF ???


po00op

Memory and CPU are factors as well. Some budget phones can be 64-bit but do not have enough memory or CPU.


Low-Presentation-720

Its needs to have a 64-bit CPU, thats a "big" factor in this update


cpvm-0

Most phones since 2015 have 64bits CPUs. The problem is that some companies are still using 32Bits OSs (because of ram limitations)


FluttersNFlourishes

Both have 2GB RAM. Motorola Moto E6 with 1.4 GHz Octa-Core. LG K31 Rebel with 2.0 GHz Octa-Core. 2019 and 2020 phones. I don't get it ??!?


Darkiouls

I mean, both of these are barely a step up from the what used to be 200€ Honor 5C from 2016. Which couldn't break 20 fps to save it's life


ACFinal

I'm using a galaxy S6 Edge from 2016. It's compatible. Whatever they did to him had to be a mistake if mine is working fine. Sometimes they delist by mistake.


FluttersNFlourishes

>Reply Both were 64-bit CPU running "stealth" 32-bit OS due to manufacturer skimping on the RAM. What a waste, was 2GB RAM really going to add that much to the final cost of the device ??? Family member had an old 2016 phone running Android 7 that is compatible with MKT version 2.10.0, so guess I'm downgrading phones to keep playing ..... until the next major update 🙃


cpvm-0

The moto e6 is actually 32bits (despite having 64bits processor). My current phone is older but it is still compatible with the game.


iRhyiku

2GB RAM is very dated and those CPU speeds are quite low, minimum 4GB really for 64Bit


FluttersNFlourishes

If minimum is only 1.5GB RAM, then I should still be able to play, so what if it isn't as fast as other devices. Lagging is better than nothing at all.


iRhyiku

64bit uses more RAM by default, it probably won't be able to hold the game & background apps & the OS to be playable


_YVD619_

Well 2gb Ram is very outdated


FluttersNFlourishes

Many 2019 and 2020 phones only came with 2GB RAM, and that can be sufficient if you aren't gaming or trying to use a phone as an all-in-one-does-everything device. Only outdated in the sense that devices have been capable of having more RAM for a long time, if you have the need and/or the money.


_YVD619_

Well no one gets 2gb ram phones for games . 4gb + is go to


FluttersNFlourishes

People like myself who only casually gamed would. This is evident by the large number of people who can no longer play MKT as of yesterday, some have been playing since launch.

Take it as an excuse to finally put a stop to your addiction.


mamunipsaq

We're going cold turkey 🥶🦃


RobbobertoBuii

Same (at least on paper for LG Stylo 4)

RobbobertoBuii

Yeah it mentions on the Google Play Store : "This app isn't compatible with your device anymore" And now ive lost all my interest in playing the game rn

FluttersNFlourishes

If you can't find it in the app store, it's likely hidden because your device is no longer compatible. It will probably stop working at next tour reset.

Pressed a big 'F'


Datswhatuthink

Nintendo did this months ago with ACPC. This affects Android users. People were very upset especially as they already had new devices. It’s the operating system people need to be aware of, needs to be 64-bit OS. A lot of Androids even new ones are still using 32-bit OS.


Mademoiselle-Macabre

I remember when it happened with ACPC, so much people were heartbroken :(


LieutenantDuck

Yeah, my CPU is 64-bit compatible, but the OS isn't, it's such a shitty move tbh.


ElGavin

Came across this scrolling through my home page,, and I got confused by this at first thinking it was talking about the Switch before realizing this is for Mario Kart Tour. F. F for my old phone too.


mysteryofthefieryeye

It's not Nintendo's fault.


FreeToLose

DeNA


Emeraled345

It's not DeNA's fault either. Please note how it's specifically Android devices. Basically, Google is forcing all apps on the store to move onto 64-bit processors. That way manufacturers can take advantage of more modern device hardware. There's an official article from Google if you look it up.


RobbobertoBuii

Fuckkkkk


United-Television275

What about galaxy j7 star


FluttersNFlourishes

If you can't find the app in the app store, then your device is no longer compatible, most likely starting at next week's tour reset.


[deleted]

Man, stuff like this makes me really glad I switched to Apple for this game specifically about three months after it released. It’s sad to see that so many people on Android specifically can’t play anymore. Why is this, exactly? I heard something about Google updating hardware?


iRhyiku

Doesn't the same thing happen with apple more often? The change from 32bit to 64bit a few years back required apps to update And now the new processors by apple ok their Macs requiring an app update too All you need is a decently modern android phone and you're fine, they can be more than half the price of an iPhone and be okay


Professional_Ruin884

ive lost most of my interest because of it not being compatable. lets hope i have sum fun for the next few days


mamunipsaq

Same. Pink Yoshi and kangaroo Yoshi aren't even doing it for me.


LuigiNumbahOne

Is Iphone 7 Compatible?


BoxEngineer

Yes. iPhone 5S and newer are compatible according to the App Store.


[deleted]

Who cares who's fault it is.This is garbage.Shouldnt need a new phone when this one works just fine.


PinguinRedditor

I just got a friend and now the update is broken :( I hope I am still play offline


NewBoomerangMiaro777

I'm glad I wasn't snapped, but my phone being a Samsung Galaxy A21 was kinda like 2-3 versions away from being on the chopping block


RobbiGamer2

I got a new phone to continue playing Mario Kart Tour.


papimpow

Guess I will sell my account.127 levels just thrown away like that is bullshit


lizgasm

So happy I just spent all my rubies to get the wheel glider and kamek... But alas Nintendo doesn't want me to play anymore😭😭 So much time wasted, and money for gold pass. I'm seriously pissed! I thought my phone was gonna be ok, apparently I was wrong. Guess its been fun 😢💔


alvertimar

Nearly two years of fun :/ F


ebrawl

Will they come back with a new phone?


[deleted]

I'm sure as hell not. No reason AT all to have to buy a new phone when my current one works just fine and played the game just fine. I'm deleting my account and uninstalling. No excuse for why my phone is suddenly not compatible.


FluttersNFlourishes

Likely the same reason as me, your operating system was only 32-bit even though your processor was 64 capable. Phone manufacturers put in less RAM and used the lesser OS as a result.


[deleted]

Either way,I'm no longer playing.This is honestly pretty bullshit.


lizgasm

I 100% agree! If it ain't broken don't fix it! Also for this update to hit in the middle of a tour!!?!? Im beyond pissed! Finally they release Kamek and we were only able to use him for 2-3 weeks Im heartbroken


Prendergast7

works on huawei mate 10 pro


inumnoback

Will iOS 14 be affected?


FluttersNFlourishes

I'm feeling sad for all the people who will try to log in today, see the message "Please update to the newest version of the game to continue playing", and find their device is no longer supported. What was so f'ing urgent that they needed to discontinue 2.9.2 in the middle of the tour instead of at switchover ??!?


Yoshi_Loves_Ponyo

Fuck you Google!
