EXPOSED! caught a cheater.

[CapraKiwi]

So last night was FIA races, as the race went on a guy had a 5 sec penalty but as we entered the penalty zone his time was going down but he was still doing race speeds. The chat told me this was the ABS glitch. I exposed him at the end, he told me to learn the game. Little did he know I wasn't the only one who saw his dirty deed AND i wasn't the only one who caught it on stream. Hopefully this gets patched out soon and this guy gets punished.

Just report him and move on. It does no good bringing these issues into public light because more people will just start exploiting the game since they can see/figure out what to do.

for sure, i'm cropping the video now and i'll slap it on the GT Twitter as well.

If no one issues it how do you expect it to be Priority/Fiixed

By reporting it to the developers that would be in charge of correcting it....

With little evidence they do anything public shaming is the recourse now isn’t it? The new model of customer service.

[Sven Jurgens]

What, that's still in the game.... why am I not surprised.

 

[vvise]

It's not really related to ABS. They just need to disable allowing manual braking in penalty zones. It should be fully game controlled. Currently if you apply your own braking it trumps what the game would do and all you need to do is apply very minimal pressure and just coast off throttle.

"Hmmmm, should I report it.... Nah I won't!"

What the ???
Yeah sure nobody likes a dibby dobber but c'mon, that's going a bit far in fia events.

 

[Pubs16]

Yeah should’ve reported it in the lobby for sure. It will link all the evidence they need.

 

[LackLucid]

Interesting to see you of all people creating a thread exposing 'dirty deeds'.

It’s not cheating. Happened to me a few times as well. It’s because of the lag. In your screen he may have cut the corner because of lag (or something) but in reality, he didn’t. This caused the game on your end to think that he is to get a penalty, but on his end he was just fine.

Ridiculous that the penalties shown on screen aren’t synced with server. They are only client based.

Well, i have never heard of that before, neither did i experience it myself.
But anyway, people use this bug to cheat! MASSIVLEY!

Being just a B/S Driver you see this basically in every FIA Lobby.
I saw it myself on, at least, 14-18 diffrent events. And people who know this, will drive more aggressively because they know they can pass a 5 Seconds Penalty in about 0,5 - 0,8 Seconds on Track without losing much speed.

And that is a huge problem in my opinion. And yes, i consider this cheating and will report every player i see doing it!

Off topic a little, but this used to happen very often when the "penalty under name" first started. You could follow a car with a pen over the finish line and in race results it didn't even have a red dot.
They must have tweaked the code though because I don't think I've seen it in at least 8 months.

Ugh. Over a year later and this game is still fails.

I really wonder what the mindset is of PD.

This has been fixed a long time ago. Penalties are updated when you get near another car. I always see penalties flashing when I approach new cars from behind. Once I get in range my client pulls their penalty status and it shows as if they just received the penalty.

Penalties are also checked between clients now, hence sometimes you get bumped off without the other car receiving a penalty since the collision only happened on your client due to lag. Only when both clients agree on contact then a penalty is issued.

It used to be that you would see people cross the finish with flashing penalty signs and then not have a red dot after the race. That's long ago. Penalties are now correctly displayed. The penalty zones still seem broken though. Perhaps that's why PD hasn't put them in the dailies yet.

Oh ok then. I haven’t played the sport mode in long time.

Its hard to regulate cheaters, even with the machine learning anti cheat.

Not even the popular multiplayer games such as CSGO, DOTA 2, PUBG, etc. It's just hard.
