Just seen something but as usual totally forgot to record anything. Mind you it’d only be “you can’t name and shame” due to the gamertag being visible.
Driving urban cc circuit. Red thing in front, dunno what car it was but irrelevant. Missed a checkpoint only to reappear on the driving line further ahead within less than a second. Drove into the wall on the right, drove into a tree on the left, missed a check point, spun out of control, missed a checkpoint, hit a checkpoint (!), missed a check point. On all of these occasions the car reappeared within a second further along on the driving line. Could well have been AFK due to lack of any noticeable steering ability.
Anyone else seen this?

suppose - so my local xbox tries to show what was going to happen for half a second before it gets an update from the server? has to be something like that for no time to be lost
thing was the restart was bang on the driving line every time; auto-steering doesn’t hold that line perfectly - especially not cross country
well, not necessarily stating it was some kind of mod, what you wrote makes sense; I don’t often do online stuff
I’ve at least two videos of players clearly missing checkpoints continuing like nothing happend. I also have videos of players resetting right on to the racing line without losing any speed when they actually have messed up and would hit a wall or the like.
I’m quite sure it’s mod menus and not de-sync, lag or the servers acting up that are in play here. Stuff like despawning the AI at the start of a race, have it slow down to sightseeing speed, starting the countdown in transitions during Tours and things like speed and gravity multipliers are a common experience since quite some time again now unfortunately.
Yeah, used to see that a lot, especially in the first couple months after release, less often after but still pretty regular. Of course I’ve not done MP in… a while… so no idea if it still happens. As I recall the incidents dropped off significantly after some announced anti-cheat not long ago so I was leaning more to it being some kind of cheat rather than server or player side issues. If it’s reappeared I’d say it’s a cheat and as always the arms race between cheats and anti-cheat continues with the cheats in the lead again.
Yeah a really bad connection to the servers can make it appear like that to other players.
Not cheating just bad lag.
I been seeing a lot of handling hacks in the A class lobbies

seems to be the repeat offenders after midnight est
running handeling/brake hacks in cars I know aren’t capable of the laptimes they are setting
braking at 100% effort at the last possible second and taking 90 degree corners at 80Mph
and of course track cutting and ramming when you manage to pass them because they don’t have course knowlage
game needs EAC and it needs it yesterday
Just lag I think. I’ve seen cars disappear under the tarmac as well as the things you mentioned. Just a very bad connection their end if it’s only the 1 driver. If loads of drivers in the same race are like it most probably your end. It’s not a new thing at all.
Dunno if it still works, (hope not and won’t try) but AR 12 took delight getting more clicks in showing people in a YouTube short how to telaport using pause and reset car position. I would still report it if it really feels like “hang on a minute.”.
