Hello,
so me and a couple of other persons have noticed their WR's (or their leaderboard position) suddenly dropping on many tracks of the solo campaign. Since we can't actually see the actual leaderboards, I do suspect we have a cheater running around. It happened all of a sudden, so chances for a legit player to beat very strong WR's in a very short period time are more than low. Can you have a look into that?
If it isn't a cheater, are there at least ways you can check and punish such players if needed?

Thanks,
riolu

Well the game does have some kind of anti-cheat, I'm wondering how it works. (Or if it works in the first place?)

So,
Since someone found out a way how to see the PC Rankings there's no doubt there are cheaters running around.
From 1 second to another, serveral WRs on maps where I had a sick time got beaten.
This, for example, are the top 5 on #001 (When i had access to the file):

00001: 00:24:907
00002: 00:27:323
00003: 00:31:173
00004: 00:32:146
00005: 00:32:183

The .146 is from marios if I remember correctly.
Guess, there's nothing left to say.

Best Regards,
styx

Thanks to maschell1 for getting the times.

The anticheat is Hylis manually checking the replay and removing the cheating times from the board.

how exactly can we see the times does it work for ps4 ?

I want my wr back for #18

We have all informations required to handle this topic since we have all the ghosts uploaded. We have some tools to do to help deal with it, but the cheats should be removed. We had other priorities before, and more especially since we know we will be able to deal with previous cheats and that Global Ranking depends more on the medals and do not display cheaters name. Our target for doing it is May.

Good to know there is something planned. It's not a big deal for some players but imo this should have been handled before the release. Anyway, if it will work properly it's worth to wait.

Good to know, thanks for the information. If you need any help on sorting out the hacked times, we're here to help

That could be :anything faster than Riolu has to be verified, Just in case
