All known scoring system bugs (actual for version 5.6.0) Developers, please read! | Forums

Current list of known scoring bugs:

1. Midnight Circuit bug

This bug randomly adds Midnight Circuit records into globals score calculation.
Solution:
in score calculation function there should be conditions, that will exclude special MC tracks from global score calcuation:
track #131072 or 0x20000h for first MC leg;
track #262144 or 0x40000h for second MC leg;
track #393216 or 0x60000h for third MC leg.
Also there can be possibly other tracks like 0x80000h etc.

2. 3000000 Normal bug

This bug have unknown origin, it is very small time for track #0 in player's profile
Solution:
track #0 should be excluded from global score calculation like in previous bug.

3. 3000000 Crazy bug

This bug happened after Rodeo Event. This is record (stored in player profile) for special event track "Collapsed Orchard" (track #1256), which have incorrect settings for medals. Track is very short, but medal times are like in some standard track.
Video of the track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3GhpEyDuSs
Medal times:
Platinum: 24.500 / 0 faults
Gold: 33.000 / 1 fault
Silver: 43.000 / 3 faults
It automatically gives player bugged Ultimate time score 3000000.
Solution:
track #1256 should be excluded from crazy global score calculation.
OR
medal times should be changed in levels config file to very small ones, so any time on this track will give player 0 points.

4. Ultimate Score bug

This bug instantly gives player 3000000 points for Ultimate Medal on any track. This happens because the error in ultimate score calculation formula (divisor is missed).
Solution:
add divisor (I think it should be equal UltimateTime or (PlatinumTime / 2) in milliseconds) to ultimate score calculation formula.

5. Trapeze Churn sub-10 bug

UPDATE: also this bug is possible on "Wolf Den" on crazy bikes.
On crazy bikes there's possible to make a sub-10 records on the track "Trapeze Churn".
Sample video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d5u-4B18cM
But because of anticheat measures times lesser than 10 seconds by default are not saved in leaderboards on server. But there's some exceptions:
The Cave: 6.000 seconds
Sine City: 6.000 seconds
Hill Climb: 6.000 seconds
Bunnyhop: 6.000 seconds
Also 3000000 Crazy bug is not displayed on Bonxy, because there's a lower limit on server for track "Collapsed Orchard" also present.
Solution:
change server settings, so lower limit for track "Trapeze Churn" will be for example 6.000 seconds, or even it should be on the all tracks by default, because who knows if there will be other short tracks or crazy shortcuts.

6. Difference in profile and leaderboard records bug

Sometimes because of game crash, or incorrect synchronizing there's difference between records in player's profile and in track's leaderboard. If profile time is lesser than LB time than someday it will be updated on server side. But when server time is lesser than profile time, that time in profile will never be updated until record will not be improved. Global score is calculated by those times which are stored in player's profile. So if this difference is exists (it happens very often, I saw many profiles with different times on some tracks) player is miss some global points.
Solution:
There should be addition to offline score updating algorythm. Game should not only update leaderboard time, but also update profile times when LB time is better. WARNING! There should be some checks before updating profile times, because sometimes errors occurs in leaderboards, such as Donkey or Crazy bikes appears in Normal leaderboards.

If devs at RL are any good and not just "earn" their money by just sitting in a comfy office, they'll take this thread seriously and sort these known bugs. Hell, there are solutions to these bugs which seems very simple to implement. Looks like the community is more concerned about the game than the devs. BTW great job finding the problems and the solutions Negodyaeff. We just hope RL listen to you.

Another minor scoring bug that I didn't noticed earlier:
7. Extra ~800000 Crazy global score for Rigged Roadway track that people got in the "Mission Impossible" event. Now this track is released as PVP-only, what means you still can't ride it on Agent.
Solution: in this situation best solution is to add Agent bike into Bunker

Update on
5. Trapeze Churn and Wolf Den sub-10 bug
I just found what cause this limitation. There's validation check in result submitting function. For tracks that have platinum medal time lower than 15 seconds there is a limit of 6 seconds. For other tracks there's a limit of 10 secs.
Wolf Den have 19.728 platinum medal time, Trapeze Churn have 19.750 platinum medal time. So time in this condition should be increased to 20 seconds. Of course it will cause more cheated records is showing in some tracks with small platinum medal time, but I still hope that in the new version speedhack will be blocked, because I gave instruction how to do it.

New track Reverse Engineering can be finished with Ultimate medal and it gives 3000000 points, There's already several records with ultimate medal (21.000) there:
http://trials.bonxy.net/tracks/Reverse+Engineering

This 3000000 bug should be fixed ASAP. Ultimate score should be calculated properly and not give 3000000 instantly.

This bug also allowed cheaters in Dakar event to speedhack 3-4 tracks, get this max score and be on top on global event leaderboard.
