Joe Brumm: "...Cats, yeah, I was asked this the other day. Cats, I'd love to bring a cat into a Bluey episode. I do think, there was, I was thinking back in season one that one day a bunch of cats should just turn up and, you know, like talking cats, you know, and it's like..."
Greg Painter (Host): "What's with the cat?"
Joe Brumm: "Yeah, yeah, and then, you know, it's like some sort of genocide (Host: "WOAH!!!") story that they follow. And there's like a war or something, but, well, they invaded."
Greg Painter (Host): "There's your movie, Joe. There's your movie, right there."
Joe Brumm: "Yeah, that's it. It's just an all-out war. But, yeah, I'll figure it out one day. I'll let you know."

What can I say other than I told you so?

---

Fine, I'll say something.

I expected better from the users on this sub.

Regarding the discussion of the movie leak's legitimacy, all I saw was:

• People who can't mentally accept the movie's potential art style freaking out and circlejerking each other by shouting "fAke Ai sLop" without any external evidence (Link to a thread from a deleted post, read if you care).
• Anyone who dared to take a neutral stand or provide evidence/sign that this might be real (or merely ask about it [1] [2] [3]) gets downvoted to oblivion.

You can't have a calm, unbiased discussion when people are so aggressively emotionally driven.

(A.K.A, the "convenient alternative" briefly mentioned in my previous post.)

Credit to the Chinese user 有时会很闲 on Baidu Tieba for coming up with this self-contained package, and Flickxie for providing the assets. Equivalent video tutorial here (In Chinese, but shouldn't be too difficult to follow)

Prerequisite:

• A destop/laptop computer to sideload .ipa to your iOS devices.

For sideloading, I recommend using Sideloadly for Windows / Mac. If you're a hardcore Linux user, Legacy-iOS-kit can help you sideload apps to iOS devices.

Steps:

1. Download the modified RealRacing3_14.0.1_ipa.store.ipa and Caches_ipastore.zip here (MediaFire share link). Place Caches_ipastore.zip locally on your iPhone/iPad.
2. Install Sideloadly on your computer, and follow the appropriate steps to sideload the .ipa to your iPhone/iPad.
3. Launch the newly installed Real Racing 3 on your iPhone/iPad. This is a different app from the official RR3 from the App Store.
4. You should see a floating icon near the edge. When you get to the asset download screen. Tap on the icon to open up the menu, and use the first function to import Caches_ipastore.zip. (The rest of the options are import save file, export save file and experimental, respectively. One of the experimental functions allows you to modify everything under the game's /Library directory)
5. Wait until asset import is completed. Then force quit and reopen the game.
6. Have fun.

Step 4: Import the game asset using the first option from the menu.

Step 5: Wait for Asset to finish importing. Then reopen the app

Known Issues:

• [Resolved] The original asset zip lacks a file (/Caches/data/upgrade_discount_popups.dat.nct) that causes the game to crash. This file has been added to the zip hosted on Mediafire.
• Transparent title cards were observed on the iPhone 12 Mini due to some resolution incompatibility (might happen on certain other iPhones too), as the .ipa was modified from an iPad installation. This does not affect gameplay.

• The save file swap function is pretty broken. The idea is that you need to manually delete all the .bak (savefile backups) files in the /Caches folder so the imported new save can take effect, but I have not managed to get it to work so far. The default save that comes with the installation is unlimited currency, all cars owned and VIP'ed, 0 progress and 0 upgrades. If you're OK with this starting point, don't bother tackling the save function. Otherwise, see if you can figure out the correct steps to import the save file and let me know.
• Since the IPA is self-signed, you may need to re-sideload every 7 days.

Long story short, the Chinese RR3 Community has been working hard to reverse-engineer RR3's HTTPS requests. By investigating the HTTPS responses related to RR3's resource download request, and using the following concatenation format:

resourceID + dataStreamLength + dataStream (and repeat),

Chinese user flickxie managed to reconstruct the RR3 asset package originally hosted on the (now defunct) RR3 server. A functioning asset download process was already demonstrated on Android using a private server (video here). For reasons related to bandwidth and hosting cost, the server is not yet open to the public.

Working Android Download Process!

Now, the problem is with iOS. We currently lack full assets for iOS, so the iOS download process can't be completed yet. RR3 assets on iOS are stored in the "Documents" folder of the RR3 app, which is inaccessible due to the sandboxed environment (and the fact that RR3 is NOT File Shared):

Filza on jailed devices cannot access the Sandboxed Application's Documents. My iPadOS version (v18.7.2) cannot be jailbroken, which is a bummer.

Again, iMazing also failed to access the sandboxed Documents folder. Full asset size of the latest RR3 version (v14.0.1) should be 12+ GB

To successfully extract the assets, we need help from someone who has an iOS device that:

1. has (RR3 + full assets) installed and jailbroken. OR,
2. has (RR3 + full assets) installed and running an iOS version that supports FilzaEscapedDS (see the video + video description here).

If your device meets one of the two above requirements and you want to help, please consider extracting and sharing the 12GB Documents folder, either by using Filza (if jailbroken) or FilzaEscapedDS (if not jailbroken).

The preservation efforts have almost come to fruition, and the RR3 community will be forever grateful to your contribution if this bottleneck is resolved!

If you have any questions, feel free to comment/reach out directly to me, u/Constant-Scene1385 or u/No_Archer_4777 (i.e. AIRZANGXU on RR3 Discord), and we will try to forward the communication to ▫depot▫ and flickxie.

To achieve the same effect for Android as outlined in my earlier iOS post. Again, courtesy to the Chinese RR3 Community for sharing these methods.

(Disclaimer: I do not own an Android device and cannot verify this myself. As such, the following is translated solely based on the original post and comments. I do not have any additional details apart from the instructions below. Please refer to the iOS post for any potentially similar steps.)

1. Download ProxyPin, install and launch.
2. Install the user certificate. (In "HTTP Proxy")
3. Enable HTTP packet capturing. ("Play" button)
4. Whitelist RR3 in "Proxy Filtering". (Optional)
5. Enable capturing and launch RR3.

Relevant Configurations; -800 means adjust in-game time to 800 days before the present.
