Rivals Leaderboard Wipe?

I noticed a time on a D Class LB yesterday in a VW Gold 92 showing as D767?

Another bug - or a cheat do you think?

Leaderboard wipe takes 1 minute coding.

43

That is as maybe, but the ten other things they break in the process will take weeks’ to fix… lol

44

Data are in DB, you don’t need any game code change.

Another thing is you run simulated runs with AI and create some times. If somebody is 20 % faster, something is not right. :smiley:

45

Agree with your DB quote, but the quickest way to wipe them would be by a ‘coded script’, that way you’d run it, wipe scores and not need to rebuild the Database.

As with checking if score/time is legit they deffo need to take account of what is ‘legit’ in regards to the games own physics. If for any reason it is over what’s possible then it’s marked as failed.

46

Exactly. They have everything already. AI can do any circuit on its own. You use unbeatable, add some delta and you probably get 90 % of cheaters without ANY work.

PR stunts are different but it’s not much harder. A class going 600 km/h? I don’t think so…

47

That actually makes me laugh, considering the fastest car in the game at present can only reach 497 km/h

48

Exactly. So there are ways but somebody is a bit busy/lazy/whatever…

49

Or their fix will be ‘just remove that part from game’ just like other parts they’ve removed.

50

In an ideal world, you’d want them to wipe the dodgy times and leave the genuine ones in place.

If they wipe the whole thing but don’t fix the issues allowing incorrect times to be posted, well we’re back to square one.

What happens to any of the accolades linked to the LB’s if they wipe the times, do they all need re-doing?

51

I think people mean the broken Drift Zone times, because the Drift zones are completely different now, plus changes made to other parts of the game.

52

Pretty sure it’s mostly about times - haven’t seen any mention of drifting up till now.

53

I think he means they nerfed the scoring in Drift Zones with the update, and it’s now difficult to beat or get close to your previous PB.

I haven’t tried personally, but there is a thread somewhere discussing it.

LOL, but candy van means ban. Cheaters are fine, cool content is bad. It’s absurd. It feels like PG are rather from USA. :smiley:

55

Ok well it says Leaderboard wipe so I mentioned that Drift zones also need wiping.

56

Delete all the non clean lap times from the rivals leaderboards. I assume you are working to remove cheaters and the sooner the better, but the sheer number of players on the boards due to dirty laps counting makes getting into the top 1% trivial.
The first week of early access it actually felt like a challenge, but it quickly became effortless once the game released on gamepass.

Is anyone ever going to address the clear cheaters on the leaderboards. You have one of the fastest cars in the game max jump just over 1000 metres then you have people on over 12,000. Blatant cheat and these should all be removed from the leaderboards.

Are you trying to say my 1104 is cheated?
Blame DUBS for tune.

59

I suspect they’re saying if the fastest car in the game can only manage a little over 1000 - then 12000 is let’s say dubious.

As my most succesfull car is one I didn’t drove a mm/inch so far, it is most likely that stats or databases in this game could be broken.

So there is no use of wiping any leaderboard. And as I have watched some youtube videos about this game (some which mentioned all the blueprint editor bugs for example barrel roll unlimited skill points) I would not be surprised the same could happen if you rewind through a jump prepatch.
