Fix the MP EXPLOIT ALREADY

[Talon]

I am tired of racing and battling for 1-3 place only for someone to suddenly stop on lap 1 near finish line and wait till we are near it again to suddenly steal 1st/2nd, this is a bloody joke

how is your system so broken it doesn't realise the person is on lap 1 still?

MP is only thing bringing players back after all LT events and seasonal stuff is done yet more exploits are being found every day -_- the rubberbanding and lag of players I can understand but purposely lagging yourself to where you sit and do nothing only to steal 1st due to this bug is not fun at all, why even race at all when moment you see the person icon stay at that same spot you know you are not getting the place you are clearly in

Is that why i randomly get 2nd 3rd place after win first place?

Yes, if you see someone staying near finish line it is to do this exploit, they will start moving when 1st place is close and finish ahead of them, tricking the game to thinking they got first instead, apparently it is easy to pull off and is due to being a bug in another racing game whos engine this one is borrowing from apparently

Many times I been way ahead and then on results screen even though I came first, a user/character I never saw near me came behind me within 1 second yet i saw no character behind me by a long shot, they need to seriously patch this up or it will kill off even MP even more than they have

Tested it twice. Both times didn't work. It's not as straightforward as you describe it. There has to be an extra step somewhere. Maybe some kind of memory injection.

well i am not gonna say how to do it fully as i don't want more users exploiting this, you really think I was gonna put out every step to something like this? nty

Fair enough.

I just saw something way more interesting over and over again.

People are "warping". And I don't mean with the time warp or other skill, I mean people who just were behind you suddenly are meters ahead of you without even driving next to you.

Also, someone was driving next to me and for some reason when I dashed into him/her nothing happened.

So either the netcode is crap, or the people still playing (except bots) are mostly CHEATERS.

wouldn't put it past time, I understand the net lag if you hit them right infront only for them to appear infront still and recover like nothing happened on their end but to wait at end and then move when 1st place is near it not a netcode issue, they are staying still on purpose, i seen a few videos of this and also had it happen today
(though is it is on a pirate map apparently players have found a way to skip 3/4 of the 2nd lap

I mean, when you lock the only way to earn over half the game's rewards behind Ranked, of course people are going to find exploits.

I'm sure these exploits are being monitored, and I'm also sure Gameloft knows exactly who is using these exploits, as well.

I wont touch exploits ruins the fun of me grinding the game, however they better look at it and punish those who abuse it, you see i asked dev and aj is ranked reset at the end of season 1 and no answer. I hope it is so these exploits are ironed out and all is good for season 2, however if no changes then most will just leave all the above comments I’ve mentioned several times its been there day 1 and now people are finding it out im glad so we can bring it to devs attention

sadly I cannot because i don't know how to purposely lag my internet but a few videos on the reddit were popping up a few weeks ago showing it in clear proof if it helps

aj, not about this maybe but i think its on youtube aswell, or was that another bug similar to this one, where the racer was 2nd all race and then 1st on leaderboard at the end. i would send it when i find the video im on about but let me check first, it may be something different all together now.

dont ban me aj, found it on reddit
This is not something that can be deliberately exploited. It's an issue with latency/desync. The team is investigating it and we'll hopefully have a fix ASAP.
you replied saying itll be fixed not sure how to fix it tho, but there is video of it

We are aware of the bug causing CPU Racers to appear on a player's screen as if they were doing something untoward to gain an advantage.

This cannot be done intentionally.

It will be fixed in the next update.
