People are using a glitch in the game to steal other people’s designs and vinyl groups BE CAREFUL OR UNSHARE EVERYTHING
I already found a link on reddit and other forums of people commenting on it.
Here are some screenshots from the game where my Joker design has already been stolen and another screenshot shows that they copied a design from HiddenMissile

IMPORTANT This is not the tool for importing to the PC, people download the vinyl group, do the glitch and become the new “authors of the design” and can even edit and change the vinyl group however they want.
I spoke to one of the people who stole one of my drawings and he told me how it’s done, I already reported the process via ticket. (I will not post here or anywhere specifically how it is done)
I recommend you unshare all your vinyl groups !!!
otherwise you want to have everything copied!!! I’ve already done this with mine, for some drawings it was too late as they had hundreds/thousands of downloads.

I understand you, I’m nervous and frustrated about this too.
So far I have been able to confirm with 100% certainty that it is possible to copy and edit downloaded vinyl groups.
Regarding the designs, people are saying that it is also possible but from what I have been able to test so far ONLY vinyl groups are possible to do the glitch. So I believe the car designs are safe.
I’ll update if I find anything else.
Note: I’m amazed that whoever tested the game didn’t discover this, it’s a simple thing to do and it just shows that whoever developed and tested the game doesn’t care about the designers, as this already happened in Horizon 4… .I’m a programmer in real life and in my opinion the work done on this game was very amateurish.
I created a similar topic on COMMUNITY HUB → Paint Designs
I will update everything I discover here and there
I have already opened 2 tickets, one reporting the bug and the other reporting players. the problem is that they take a long time to respond and rarely solve the problem.

Is there no ingame report option for “Others” wich allows you to enter own text?
report on the website ingame prob have bugs too lol
I understand your Point. To inform other Painters. But this Tread just brings some people to look for what talking about and makes it more worth
I just want to warn everyone to unshare their vinyl groups in the game as they are all vulnerable to this glitch/bug.
It was the only way I found to notify everyone because communication with support is slow and sometimes it takes days and/or weeks to respond.
I have already reported the glitch to support explaining step by step how it is done so they will find a way to fix the problem more quickly
Honestly, in my opinion, I did the right thing by notifying what was happening and reporting it to support. Now if they take too long to fix the bug I can’t do anything, I did my part as a painter and active participant in the community.
And once again, unshare your vinyl groups if you don’t want to see them with other people.

Just had a look at this ingame, took me all of 1 minute to work out how they’re doing it. Unshared all my vinyls, tested saving a randoms vinyl in FH5 to see if you can import and glitch doesn’t seem to work so FH5 vinyls should be safe.
This editor is years old and out of date, it’s an embarrassment compared to GT7 editor.

In forza 3/4 you could download and unlock and copy/edit/reupload anybody’s tunes/designs etc.
Is it only vinyl groups or are car designs affected as well?

vinyl groups is affected by the thing.
car designs as far as i know is not affected.
Don´t Hype your Paintings too much. It´s just a Game - Remove it from Sharing until it´s Patched . It’s that simple
The painter who is sharing over 900 designs all one color orange, would be doing it for the accolade achievement, sharing/download 1000 vinyls. I’ve seen a few people doing this.
You can Breath. It´s Patched
its patched but stolen vinyl groups did not got removed from the creative hub of the people who made the glitch/bug
Things like this makes me not want to even try to create an impressive design in the first place.
