Hey, recently I've started having this weird problem where my car (I use the Japanese car) was randomly changed to the Israel car, THRICE!. I'm aware this used to be a bug back in the day (early 2014 or something) but afaik It has been fixed and hadn't happened to me for like 2 years (I play regularly, almost everyday). I was wondering was I hacked or is there a logical explanation to this? Thanks in advance

Are you using a demo account? Then it can happen.

No I bought the game like 3 years ago or something

I know people whose cars are changing from map to map


And ofc not mentioning the grey car syndrome, which is a 5 years old bug and nobody really cares about it dev-side.

Yeah I was acquainted with that issue, however this is not the grey car, It's the ISRAEL CAR BUG!! I wonder if it's really a bug or not, and it doesn't change from map to map I mean when I launch the game go into my first match It's already there!

There's no grey car syndrome any longer. If you use a skin the game does not have (locator not loaded) or know where to find yet (missing or bad locator), it will display any other default car at random. The skin will also vary between tracks and offline ghosts. I don't know if that's the case with you, but you could try making a zip file and copy the SkinDiffuse of the japanese skin into that, and see how it works.

This bug still exist. Test it by yourself.

Well I mean I never used a skin, it's just the regular japanese car which I can select and use anytime, but since I saw the Israel car on 3 different occasions I thought someone may have broken into my account. Tbh I think someone actually did get in, but I'm clueless as to how they cracked my pass

Also my planet count goes up for no reason (I had 18k now I have 18.275, yesterday i had 18.210 and prior to that like 18.100 or something. I changed my password like twice so I'm a bit confused??

There may be a small misunderstanding, because I was describing what happens when you choose a compatible skin and then remove it. In earlier versions of the game it would show the grey car, but not any longer.

Still, I wasn't aware of this negligible bug. I assumed everyone nowadays use compatible skins

Back to topic: you get 20 planets for each titlepack you log in to each day, so it's natural to get more planets as the days go by. I would be more worried if you suddenly had less planets without buying something or renting a server.
