He’s on Twitch, streaming to 1k people, breaking world records. If devs don’t address this, what’s the point of leaderboards? HOTFIX, I won’t buy another FH game if this continues. I spent 4 hrs doing D-time attacks got to number 60
Watching AR12Gaming doing push hack in drag racing and Time Attack Convoy dont ghost. Fix this DEV'S

Don’t they reset weekly?
You need to use more caps to get some attention.
Oh, and use the new feedback portal
I have,
Every online leaderboard in the history of every game ever winds up meaningless due to cheaters. It’s best not to take them too seriously in the first place.

Go upvote.
This is just ignorance and possible resentment, irrespective of cheaters ruining the face of them the legit WR’s still exist and take a lot of effort, knowledge and skill to achieve.

No, this is experience talking. Just about every game I can think of with displayed leaderboards, from Flash browser games back in 2004 to legit AAA retail releases, winds up with people spamming a bunch of “999,999,999 points” values at the top of them. It’s harder to do with some games than others, so your ancient Flash game would be much worse off than something like Horizon, but they’re almost always going to be there. About the only way they aren’t is if there’s some sort of active coordinated effort to remove invalid times, or something like the Trackmania community which essentially did a forensic examination of replay files to weed out prominent cheaters.
I’m not saying that legitimate world records don’t exist. Of course they do. It’s just that if there’s an in-game leaderboard they’ll inevitably end up buried beneath a bunch of records that aren’t legit. It’s the nature of the beast when you’re on the Internet.
The reason the cheaters are getting worse is because Play 10 and other developers aren’t doing anything about it. Ban some big accounts like AR12Gaming or ohnePixel, and people would stop trying to cheat. He even released a video yesterday on how he cheated the game. Did he actually get early access? Also, in case you haven’t figured it out, the game uses those times for rivals. Making it impossible for someone trying to do rival challenges against a car in D class going faster than an X class. So I’m not the type of person who throws up their hands and tucks their head between their tails and acts like there’s nothing to do about it kind of man; maybe you are. You have to do the right thing always, regardless of the majority.
Are you seriously making this a personality thing? Lol. I’m just dealing in facts here. You can ban a few prominent cheaters and send takedown requests for sites hosting their tools, but it’s the Internet. More people and methods will always pop up. That doesn’t mean the publisher shouldn’t keep playing Whack-a-Mole, because they should, but it’s the basic reality of online gaming.
“Broken Windows Policing” means that Turn10 allows big names to do this to filter-in more folks who are likely to partake in similar behavior in the future. While, in the physical world it doesn’t work because of knock-on effects, it does work for gaming.
The kind of folks who are attracted to hacking streams are the ones who are interested in either putting a stop to it, or doing it themselves. By leaving the streamers to keep hacking, you create a steady flow of emboldened cheaters who are able to be caught and punished that would otherwise be more covert.

I think that would be ascribing a level of competence to Microsoft that, based on my 30 years’ worth of experience with their products, almost certainly doesn’t exist.
