Wrong official replay shown

Hi there,

On Stadium A03 a had a best official time of 10.88. This replay was shown correctly when chosen from the rankings as opponent. A few days later a drove a faster 10.88, got almost 4000 SP's for it, but still the previous official 10.88 is shown when I choose it as opponent. I always save the replays of my official races and when I checked it (race against replay), the new best 10.88 (the right one) is used. So I know for sure that I'm not seeing ghosts... ;)
I gave it a few days in order to rule out sync problems, but now, after 4 or 5 days, it's still there.

How can this be?

Thnx in advance! :thumbsup:

There seems to be something wrong with the rankings. You have a 10.88 in official and you get 4000 SP while I have a .89 in official and I have 18k SP, so your rankings might be an old cached version.
However, everything works fine for me. :/ Can't help you with that issue since I'm not experiencing it myself :P

Thnx for your reply. I already had 24k points I guess, so almost 4000 SP's for just a few thousands of a second is a pretty nice reward. And I'm sorry for you that you didn't get any more SP's... :shock:
My son had a 10.94, drove an official .93 and earned 219 points. I had an .88, drove another .88 and earned 4k. Off course the better your time, the more points you earn, but this doesn't explain your low amount of SP's.

Anyway, my post was not about SP's but about showing the wrong replay. In my case it doen's matter that much. In my best .88 I took another route so that's why I noticed it. In my case it was just a blink of an eye, but what if best races aren't registered. Or not always (even worse!). On the same track I once crossed the finish line before someone who drove a .89, but the clock told me I drove a .90. Beats me... Last week I trained a few .86's. Didn't compare my ghost with the official .86 replays yet. But I wouldn't be surprised if they don't match... My idea of the possibilty of using a replay to compete with, is that this replay must be accurate. Otherwise there's no reason for using them. Btw, I never had this issue in Canyon. Ok, I did, when I immediately selected my new record after an official race. But after a while (a few hours or so), the new record was shown.

Hopefully this whole ranking issue gets solved soon. Takes some of the fun out of racing, I'm afraid. Maybe the give us an Easter Update Egg or something. Would be a nice surprise! ;)
