Was just playing a session of The Eliminator and the field was down to 6, so I headed to the arena edge nearest to where I figured would be closest to the finish line and was in 1st, with all competitors well behind.
Then out of the blue a pink dot appeared on a dirt track in front of me and then flew through the air at supersonic speed and landed on the road way ahead!
This wasn’t network lag that sometimes occurs, but out and out cheating!
I guess someone has found a way to catapult themselves around the map and maybe explain some of the huge speed trap scores that have been plaguing the leaderboards since day one.
Played the game extensively since before official release and never seen anything like this before.
Those type of lowly dogs should be getting life bans, pretty frustrating seeing this crap. If they allow it to keep occurring into the next FH then i’m done with the franchise as a whole.
CLOWNS! That’s why I said on another post, I kind of hope they won’t bring Eliminator to FH5 and if they do I hope its not when the game is first released. I’m glad I quit playing when I did. 2300 wins is enough to solidify my legendary status but obviously they weren’t cheating that blatantly back when I was still playing that mode
• Rip, Rex et all… I’ve been seeing and talking about this sort of thing for, I dunno, well over a year now? Since way before Steam, to be clear, but many just dismissed it if they didn’t see it in ranked.
• Neubaum… Trash is exactly right.
• DRC… Simply delaying Eliminator as a game mode, even scrubbing it out of the game altogether, will accomplish nothing but prevent players that do enjoy it as a game mode from doing so. Hacker trash do this garbage in online adventures, too, and I doubt they’ll just throw their hands up in the air and give up just because one mode they’ve been able to pervert is unavailable. Whatever the answer is, it’ll need to be comprehensive and elaborate…and I imagine such would likely not be simple and require some time.
This is the reason I am nervous H5 is so close to launch…there are so many fires to put out and holes to plug, it just doesn’t seem like they’ve had enough time to reasonably address and correct everything players have been upset about. Anyway, if it’s not Eliminator, it’ll be something else. The answer isn’t to just remove a single compromised or hacker-preferred component, rather it’s to keep the trash from exploiting the game in the first place.
I’ve also been yelling, don’t allow crossplay in competitive modes. That’s the simplest situation I can see. Let the PC players cheat other PC players but then we’d probably need separate leaderboards and I’m completely fine with that. I’ve yet to hear of a console player cheating in the game in any fashion but I could be mistaken.
As soon as they announced FH4 on steam, I knew right away we were in for some crazy stuff online. EVERY racing title I have through steam has issues with online racing. It’s not just the more casual games, titles like AC and ACC, Ride and MotoGP, Project Cars, the list goes on. What’s worse is there are people making money off of the trainers they make for these games. If you use a trainer for offline racing, knock yourself out. But once you start using them online, you’re nothing but trash in my eyes.
Dear all,
I posted one week ago the same story with a flying Quartz. The guy was far behind me, he overtaked me flying at 3000fts at mach2 end after a hard landing he won the final race.
I caught it on tape.
Check at 1.38 in the left upper corner.
It’s pure piece of cheat.
Some other genius find a way to win the race in less than 2 seconds using an other type of hack. I got it on tape as well.
Can we put somewhere the gamertag of these guys with the proof of cheating cught on tape ? It’s delation, i agree but they are going to ruin the game.
People call foul on themselves in World Snooker for thousands of pounds, where’s the etiquette in computer games when all you get is a flashing winner prize?
It’s funny but many of us said just about has soon has it was announced that forza games were gonna be both console and pc it would turn into cheat heaven and low and behold we were right. Expect the same day one for FH5 and FM due to being on both.
Its real disgusting behavior. Instead of finding a way to get better, cleaner, faster…they rather just shortcut the system for victory. I’m not gonna hold my breath on a fix but I’m hoping something gets done about it.
