Hi T10,
Hack: You’re leading the match in virus. Someone initiates the hack and you’re now suddenly “it” And game ends.
After two consecutive games with this possible hack being used on me, I "xbox record"ed the third time it happened. I also included the lobby picture as I couldn’t tell which one was initiating the hack. This information might be of good use though and I thought was odd. Before each of the last 3 hacked games, the player “GOTCH YoOh” would always leave the game as soon as it started. I have no idea if thats part of this hack or not. In this video the game didn’t end as I was not the last player but in the previous two, game ended when I became it as I was the last player.

Thank you!
Its not a hack. On your screen it says there are 6 players. However when you went to look at who was in the lobby there were 7 players. You were out of sync with the lobby. If you had left and rejoined the same lobby it would have corrected itself. I have seen this a few times and also have a recording. My friend and me were on the Prague circuit. I could see him but he could not see me. He drives right into me but he claimed he could not see me. He left the lobby then came back in. All was fine from then on.
Thanks for the info. Im not sure if that’s the case. Yeah the lobby had a total of 7 people. But as i said “GOTCH YoOh” would leave at the start of each game. (what bugs me is GOTCH did this for the last 3 games I was hacked. He would leave each game. What’s odd with that is if someone leaves a game, he’s most likely not coming back next game just to leave the game again as it starts which GOTCH did) (i’m not saying its him either, i dont know…) So it saying 6 players is correct cause one disconnected? If i’m still wrong correct me lol.
Another issue I ran into last night - Last night, when playing with a friend we had a car where we’d hit him multiple times but he would not turn red (it). He (friend) got pissed and left. And I did as well. Do you think this could also have been a connection issue?
I had the same issue personally a few nights back - the race would start and it would pop up RaceBoy77 had quit, and yet with his Twitch stream going on in the background I could hear his race start, and as the race progressed he started cursing me out because I kept ‘blocking’ him. On my screen he wasn’t there at all, so I couldn’t see where to let him pass. I’ve also witnessed others stream the issue a few times too.
I don’t know if that is also a connection thing, but it does seem that way - I’ve been in Tag matches where the entire pack would be repeatedly hitting one car that would just not get infected. Could be a different symptom of the same issue - anyone remember CompuServ net-splits from way back when? Where half the chat room would suddenly disappear and come back? 18 years later and it still happens, lol.

When it said gotcha quit each race he really didn’t just became invisible to you. So you where getting tagged by the car you couldn’t see. Happens allot.
I’ve been having issues with virus as well, only it was me who couldn’t be tagged at the end. All I could do was tell the lobby “look guys I don’t know what’s going on here, I’ll back out so it’s all fair” it happened to me four times in a row yesterday. It’s no fun not being able to complete a game and feeling like you’ve ruined others.
