The last 2.1.1 update on iOS totally lowered performance in my case, especially in BRR - it is almost unplayable, the perfect start is a matter of luck.
I was re-installing the game few times, restarting the device (iPhone 5, iOS 10.3.1) and any other apps are closed during running NFS NL - no positive results.
What I noticed in general, with every new update the performance goes down.

The last 2.2.3 update for iPhone did not solve the issue.
The lags occurs in any race, in any part of the races, which the most annoying is during launch - in 95% this is the reason of my lost race in BRR.
I was reinstalling the game few times - no positive result.

When the issue is going to be fixed?
I lose tons of SP in BRR beacuse of it.

Constant crashes is why I don't play brr hardly anymore

Yes, the issue still appear in 2.5.3 version for iOS, but in the different area - for example when switching between chapters, entering the races in Campaign. The races itself were a little improved, but it is still not what I expect. I have to race for few days, watch how does it look like, and probably reinstall the game. Give me some time.
I updated my request on FM support site and the part of the reply was something like my device is not supported any more, please use other device - it was the pathetic answer. 0_o
iPhone (any) is still supported, if it has at least iOS 9.0 - what can be found in the description of the NFS NL app in App Store.
