NEW EXPLOIT - Tyre "healing" without stopping

Renrag39
I won't be. I doubt I'll race a tyre wear race until it's patched, I barely did any anyway.
But it does need to be tested in sport mode too. Otherwise it could still exist in some way on there, even if it is fully eradicated on lobbies.
Testers should be a bit more respectful and give back positions at the end of a race but I'm not surprised they don't. I have a low opinion of our species in general.

Same here. No more tire wear race until it’s solved. I can’t believe it happens and people uses it in fia/daily race. Just waste of my time.

If there is evidence, show us. Replicate it.

As a wise man once said,

"I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be" - Isaac Asimov.

...not if your tires are withing track limits... and if track limit is kerb, then let it be...

Technically he is right, exploiting the games track limits to go faster isn't technically illegal, it's making full use of the games track limits, which could easily be considered an exploit as the games track limits are generally pretty lax compared to what is considered "accepted track limits".

The key here is track limits are intentional in the game design, as Gran Turismo has always had these lax limits. Grip bug, pit exploit and now this tyre wear reset bug are all clearly unintentional parts of the game, hence the difference. ;)
 
I think that track limits comment was a troll attempt so don’t feed fuel to the fire, if you don’t get a penalty, then CTFD.

Now just curious, I only read through a few pages of this thread but can people do this multiple times per race? You could become very efficient at this bug and have fresh tires every lap. You could refresh your tires during qualifying even for the new cup race rules. Here I was so happy about the new cup races and now this. I won’t be playing till this gets fixed since all I have time for is one or two cup races every other day.

Yes, every time you do it you get new tyres. :banghead::ouch::(

I totally agree, technically this tire refresh bug is an exploit as well - as the very definition of an exploit doesn't involve cheating, or changing the parameters in any way - it involves using (some would say abusing) the game to it's very limit.

Yes I agree that exploiting the tire bug is wrong, as it was never intended to exist.
No I don't care about people exploiting track parameters, as they were designed in like that on purpose (although I will state that some of the track limits are a little ridiculous... turn 4 maggiorre where you can run way out onto the red for example).

I'm not trying to troll, just clarifying that just because some people exploit the games track limits to go faster doesn't mean they are cheating.

It seems like you can refresh multiple times in a race from what I've seen. I'm not going to be testing it though that's for sure. Think it'll be lobbies for me tonight :)

Hello, to clarify things, I am part of the team GT_BOCA and one of our member shared with us yesterday a glitch so some of us have tried it in every race to see if it worked all the time. There was no desire to cheat but just to try. I posted a message last night to know how to postpone this glitch without making it public because it's really very annoying. Now everyone knows, I hope PoDi will correct this quickly

"There was no desire to cheat but just to try" will try this excuse if I'm ever caught cheating on my girlfriend

Hello guys,

i just met someone using a new exploit. My enemy was able to "heal" his tires in today daily race "C" (tire+fuel wear, 10 laps, Suzuka, Gr3) - With enemy, i dont want to expose anyone! I dont want to acurse him of anything, i will just explain what just happend to me! But im still mad he stole my win on this unfair way :(

It was unbeliebable! Times in Top Lobbys are normally VERY Close, but my enemy got unbelievable Speed at the end of the Race. Im sure he did it on purpose and knows exactly what he was doing, since he "sandbagged" his time to not get exposed... but he made a mistake.... i slowly studied the race and observed the bug!

Pace Start of Race (fastest laps til lap 4)
1. Patohm (2:00,9) (0 stop tactic)
2. Driver 2 (2:01,2) (1 stop tactic)
3. Driver 3 (2:01,0) (0 Stop tactic)
4. Driver 4 (2:01,0) (0 Stop tactic)

Pretty close right? Ok, after lap 4 the first Drivers go to pit. Nearly everyone stop, only Patohm (me) in Porsche, Driver 3 in Porsche and Driver 4 in Nissan stayed out!

Pace is dropping significantly for the 0 stopper, even Driver 3 who is using "fresh tires" at least twice til lap 7/8 - he tries to save fuel and "sandbag" his potenzial time...

Then the wonder happens - UNBELIEVABLE PACE:

LAP 8
Patohm - 2:02,9 (8 lap old tires)
Driver 3 - 2:00,5 (never stopped but fresh tires)
Driver 4 - 2:03,3 (8 lap old tires)
Driver 2 - 2:00,8 (1 lap old tires)

He exposed himself... At first i thought it was a Display bug... but the last two laps were so FAST... he even slowed down on last lap to not score a new record time...

In the replay you can clearly see, that he is "healing" his tiring, by just pressing "Options".... ist unbelievable, but true!

Important questions:
- How is this possible?
- exploit or bug by account (like grip bug)?
- are the new FIA races doomed?

Please tell what you find out about this bug!! PD must be informed, so this mess gets patched!!

VIDEO OF PROOF WILL FOLLOW ASAP!

Regards,
Patohm

We were together in that race, I think I'm driver 2. After race my mate driving the GTR shared some pics of the the '' bug testing driver'' and his amazingly low tyre wear and I instanly knew something was very wrong here.

Massive let down from PD with bugs that are actually game braking. Sport mode is basicly unplayable untill they patch this.

Also dissapointed to see drivers that I had much respect for using this whole day and winning races easily. I understand a test, but you can do that in private lobby. Sport mode is not meant for testing bugs and meanwhile don't forget wining every race while you're at it.
