NEW EXPLOIT - Tyre "healing" without stopping

If this was a weird bug like the Grip Bug, I would totally understand PD needing a few weeks to figure out what's gone wrong and find a fix for it, then do QA. But the tire wear exploit (from the outside) seems to be a straightforward bug where they forgot to save the current tire wear when going into Options and instead they save it as 100% when exiting. This is the kind of bug a competent programmer, assuming their code base isn't a mess, could probably knock out in a day or less if the word comes down that this is an urgent fix.
But okay, maybe this bug isn't simple and something really strange happened. At the very least, for the love of Kaz turn off tire wear in Sport mode and FIA until this is fixed. PD can't just be typical PD if they want people to take GTS seriously as an esport. Exploits have to be shut down or mitigated with all urgency and there has to be clear communication with the player base.

Thanks for checking.
I did ask and people just kept commenting as if it hadn't been fixed.

I won't be able to try it for several hours but I've already seen more than one person claim it still works, strange. It has to be one or the other and I don't doubt you in anyway but conformation is always nice.
Thank you.

I'm glad it's fixed. I tried it myself in my own private lobby because I didn't want to jump into a race with Tire Wear and then have someone use this to cheat. I was relieved to see the glitch rendered useless in this update. Good thing they got this patch out quickly

I just tested in a private lobby and it still works. Is it just Sport Mode races that it is fixed in?

I've done the same and it does not work.

After more testing, I can only get it to work on an outlap (which is strange). As soon as I cross the finish line and start a proper lap, it isn't working.

I'd rather they now spend time on producing new content tbh
hmmmm this isnt encouraging... so people can pit for fuel, then just do the tyre glitch on their out lap?

mate it would be nice to do it if it was that easy, however work involved to trace them and ultimately prove they were cheating is just not worth the effort imo
