BUG FIXED-> People are using a glitch in the game to steal other people's designs and vinyl groups

I don’t know if this also happening in FM(8) 2023 as I haven’t done much making designs in the game because I still unable to sync FM(8) to my FH5, only FH4 that FM(8) was able to connect so I can transfer my designs and vinyls from FH4…

But in relation to this subject, I’d like to add about one of my wrap design being stolen, what happened in my case was my wrap design from FH3 was stolen and then upload it and shared to FH5 as it is his/her intellectual property

I assumed it was because maybe there’s not much going on back in FH3 as per today, so my analysis is the perpetrator downloaded one of my wrap design, then changed the wrap design file so it can be transferred to FH5, and then shared in FH5…

I already reported my case in April 2023, they sent me ticket, I provided more evidences I was able to collect, but then… that’s it, the only respond that they sent me was… they begun their investigation into the matter based on the information provided and, if needed, will take appropriate action based on their findings. If they do take action, please note that for privacy reasons, they are unable to share the specifics…

And after that the status of my cased became “solved”…, so then I don’t know what should I expect, I can understand the “privacy” reasoning, but stealing is stealing, and at the very least I would expect they’re going to banned the perpetrator profile for good…

But what do you know? They let them free until now… you can check the perpetrator CH profile it’s still up there with 267 Designs…

I wasn’t really sure to report the perpetrator again after that, I mean… even now 6 months after that, obviously they still didn’t take action…

And today I found this thread of subject… so I think it would be useful for everyone else to know as well, because after seeing what the perpetrator’s CH, I don’t think that it was only my wrap design that been stolen…

Anyways… this is my wrap design that was stolen and reported;

For comparison, here’s the exact wrap design file I imported from my FH3

And here is my FH5 tab link connected to my FH3

And this is the view of my stolen wraps in my FH5 Design inventory

And here’s how to find or search exactly my stolen wrap design

And here’s the result…

And here’s its result code

Now… here’s the perpetrator’s CH main page (in April 2023):

Here’s the latest perpetrator’s CH main page (October 2023):

And here’s what inside the perpetrator’s Design Menu, just take a look and check for yourself the screenshots I took earlier, see if one of yours also were stolen by the perpetrator, 267 wraps designs and all were top notch popular designs… all in 26 screenshots I took…

So… there you go…, I’m not saying that the perpetrator stole all those, but just think about it… all that were top notch quality were available in one place in the perpetrator’s CH?? C’mon… :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth: :smirk:

Hopefully this thread can make changes needed to the game, people spent lot of hours in making them… it’s their intellectual property… have some respect and appreciations… and please devs… do something… :roll_eyes: :exploding_head:
