Reading your description of that suspicious replay, it might be a leftover record from that period where grass and dirt surfaces were completely broken and have been abused on a bunch of tracks.

If that's the case, I apologize for the false cheat accusation, and will delete the screenshot (waiting for Nadeo to answer).
How could we possibly know that those leftover replays have all been deleted ? If there is one, there might be a lot of others I hope Nadeo has a way to track back to that period, otherwise it is very frustrating to hunt maps only to discover there are replay you will never be able to beat

Hi,

It was a leftover record indeed and we are going to remove it, thanks a lot for your report

Hello. I think I found a cheater in the TMOne Speed titlepack on A01.

He has the WR by 0.012 seconds, which seems plausible. But when you drive against the ghost, something weird happens. Here's a video to show you: https://streamable.com/md09ap

At the finish you can clearly see that he is about 0.010-0.015 seconds behind me. But right before the finish his ghost stops moving, while the other ghosts continue.

This is right before the finish: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... nknown.png
A fraction of a second later: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... nknown.png

As you can see in the second screenshot, his car's ghost stops about 0.010-0.015 seconds before my ghost hits the finish. About the same difference between my time and his WR. I have a strong suspicion that he is cheating, but as I cannot download the replays, I just have the ghosts and cam7 to vouch for it.

Edit: He is 2nd now as I drove a faster time. So the above screenshots cannot be replicated anymore as my ghost is now different.

Edit: Just to test, I watched other replays in the same way, and the fact that the ghost stops before the finish happens a lot more. So that seems to be an MP-bug, rather than something suspicious: https://streamable.com/fvhb8v So it's just about the fact that his ghost was clearly behind me, but in front of my time.

Edit: Another example: https://streamable.com/n3dar6 Again ghosts stopping before the finish. This really is an MP-bug. But these four ghosts are all finishing in the correct order. The one from my initial report wasn't. Is there a way to download replays?

Edit: Two examples of a combination of ghosts: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... nknown.png Xtreme555's ghost is the only one lagging behind while having a faster time than the car before him. But again, cannot be sure of anything unless I can see an actual replay, I guess.

Edit: Alright, final edit. Removed the accusation. I found proof that there is a bigger Maniaplanet error lying underneath, I'm afraid. I'll report it in the appropriate subforum.
