    Free Rider HD friends is now released!
    A couple things to note:
    • friends are currently limited to 25, we may increase this but we would like "friends" to actually have meaning and not a race for who can get the most. The more friends we allow the more difficult it will become to scale certain things that we would like to do. We may increase this but don't go spamming people, try to connect with those you actually want to have interactions with.
    • Friend Leaderboards - you will notice a "FRIEND BEST TIMES" section below each track, these will show your friends best times if they have them. If you pass / beat a friends best time they will get a in game notification that will link directly to your ghost (we have enabled emails yet). We hope this will create some good back and forth between friends
    • Friend Request Email Notifications - we added Friend Request Email Notifications today. We put some measures around it to make sure you are not getting spammed. If you are online you will not receive an email or if you have received an email in the last hour you will not. As always you have full control of your Email Notifications here: http://www.freeriderhd.com/notifications/settings
    If you find any bugs / issues please let us know, and as always feedback is welcomed.

    Things to come:
    • ways to invite friends that do not yet have an account (email, social, etc)
    • in game challenge of friends with ability to send a custom msg
    OK I think that is it.

    I think that the friends thing where it shows last played 11 minutes ago and stuff like that should be organized by the most recent last played if yknow what im sayin

    In short, you can't. Does it take up too much space?

    yes you will get both notifications if you are passed on the world leaderboard as well. You can turn off that notification if you like.

    Since we weren't sorting have sorted by last played, but will likely change to alphabetical at some point.

    How about if you put the world high scores and friend high scores in tabs that you can switch?

    Easier said than done.

    Love the friends idea. Can't wait to add my worst enemies friends to my friends list so I can compete with them :D
    I'm going to go check my friends requests :D

    We removed the text and adjusted some of the padding around the button how is that now?
    We may be able to get away with reducing the size of the titles a bit / removing the "reload" buttons.
    Originally we had the leaderboards default to "friends" and global could be switched to through a dropdown. Reason we didn't go that route was fear that players would be looking at an empty friend leaderboard and not get a chance to see the global, defaulting to global would not give friends visibility.
    If it is just an issue of spacing we should be able to tighten it up a bit more if needed.

    Make it so that if the friends leaderboards are empty, it would automatically switch to global.

    May I suggest an idea?
    You can only add 25 players to your friends list, but you can accept more than 25.

    There is an issue with friends on samsung chromebooks :( because when i went to my friends list nothing was there (it was not showing my list of 26 friends) and it was showing an arrow pointing to add friends but when i am playing a track it shows which friends completed it.

    not icognito mode
    no plugins
    google chrome :)
