    Bugged contract on Angkor What?

    The contract the secret person gave me is undoable. You have to beat a ghost while having 17 seconds of inverted airtime, so far so good. I tried it a bunch of times and was terrified by how fast the ghost was, so I decided to try to get the best time I could get, just to see. I got a platinum medal and I'm currently ranked top 50 in the world on the track and I still wasn't able to beat the ghosts time.. It also states the ghosts time would be 2:05:00 but in reality it was faster than 1:10:00 (my time). As it is the contract is literally unbeatable.

    Can confirm, same track and same contract.

    Another contract I have that feels close to impossible is on SHIP IT!
    Contract is for doing 15 backflips while at the same time beating a ghost
    at around 53 seconds.

    Edit: Interesting thing I noticed is that I saw them play the same contract on SHIP IT!
    earlier today in the 24 hour live stream and they beat it while finishing at ~1:08 compared
    to the ~0:53 I'd need in my game.

    Personal suggestion - try completing these Contracts while offline, it should pick different Ghosts

    same problem here, zero chance of catching up to the guy at all, nevermind with 17 seconds of airtime. I feel like the ghost maybe lost all of its time before the checkpoint that the contract picks him up at, so when the contract starts he ends up getting a flawless run to the end. I don't know the finer technicalities of the ghosts though so it's only speculation.

    Also, I have no idea how to just get a new ghost to race against to remedy the issue. I disconnected from the internet and somehow it's still giving me the exact same ghost to race against, even after restarting my PS4. Until this is fixed, this contract is literally impossible to complete, and there might even be more later in the game. There were similar issues in the beta where the ghosts you raced against were the top players in the world, so unless you were capable of coming 2nd place globally in the stadium track, you'd never pass the second heat. Absolutely ridiculous. It's one of my only complaints with the game so far, but it's a very serious complaint.

    here's a 30 second clip if anyone needs it for reference, including my time of 1:09:161 and me freaking out about it on stream lol. Really hope this is a high priority fix, but I saw the bug list so far and it looks like there's quite a bit on the team's plate already. https://clips.twitch.tv/MotionlessEndearingLEDNotATK

    Really hard but duable.

    Took me like an hour, but with the Mantis bike.
    here's a video of me completing it

    that's because your ghost isn't bugged. If the ghost is broken then it finishes the track before you get a chance to

    Both ghosts I had an issue with have been fixed for me.

    I’m having an issue with the minesweeper (something like that) challenge. 32 seconds of air time and catch up to the ghost but it’s literally impossible to catch up, even with a platinum run. I’m getting to the cargo plane at the end and the contract fails before I can get to the ramp. Seems like the ghost starts way earlier than on most tracks. Spent close to 2 hours trying to get it and I’ve concluded it’s broken.

    Edit: should also add my time is ~59 sec on the completion and the ghost is 1:40

    I'm having the same issue with this same contract, Minewalking on Firebase Faceplant. The contract will fail at 34 seconds no matter where I am on the track. The ghost's track time is 1:40 as well and my best time while trying this challenge is 53 sec
