Bug exploit to avoid TvT losses?!?! | Forums

[CedricMexmain]

So I just found out there was a bug where teams could intentionally avoid a tvt loss.

So if someone was losing a TvT match and got kicked from the team during their match it did not register the loss. So after the match was finished and you would reapply to the team it did not show any loss and you could try again for a 114 or do the same thing over and over when they were losing the match.

This is all very easy to set up with a voice chat. If you're on the losing end you could tell the person you're voice chatting with right away and they could kick you from the team and avoid the actual loss.

If intell is correct it also gave the opposing player a disconnect loss.. so not only did they avoid a loss, it also robbed the opposing player of a win.

I hear it has been tested this week and that it's now been fixed.

But my questions are:

Is it actually fixed and can we be sure no one is able to exploit it anymore?

Will the teams who have been exploiting this bug get any punishments? If so, what punishments will that be?

And how long has this bug been around for teams to exploit it?

I have no doubt there were teams that knew about this and were exploiting this bug. It should not be hard for RedLynx to find out which teams did this.

Shout out to JamminTee who found out about this bug by mistake (and has video proof), reported it to RedLynx and kept this close to himself to avoid teams who did not yet know about it couldn't exploit it.

I've changed my App-Store review to highlight this issue. RL have removed crowns from teams for a different TvT exploit in the past and they need to do it again. It's only a matter of cross-referencing the TvT match timestamps with the kick timestamps, so I hope we don't hear any excuses from them.

At minimum the cheating teams should lose all crowns from affected weeks and another -100 on top of that (which is equivalent to coming 5th). Personally I'd like to see a multi-week TvT ban on top of that.

I knew of this exploit for months, forgot about it as well.... surprised it took them this long to fix it... and no I didn't post its existance in public... because... well, too many toxics will abuse it.

Why not? Ubisoft support is s.h.i.t, they are very s.t.u.p.i.d.s. , we need to know these things

because you'll go happily exploiting it using this crap of a reason as an excuse.

I fail to see how making use of exploits is a customer problem rather than a development problem. Taking the easy route has always been Human Nature, it's up to the development team to make the game in such a way exploits don't have a chance to exist to begin with. Since they're failing to do so, I'll happily share any exploit I come across to; like the airplane glitch which creates losses on both sides, and devs reacting to it with 'you know about the rituals?'.

It's both of course. You can make the same argument that taking money from an unattended armored car that was left open is ok because the guards did a really bad job of protecting it. You're still doing something that isn't allowed (stealing vs manipulating a bug in the game engine to your advantage) and can expect to be held accountable for your actions.

In either case though, the guards should lock up the truck and the devs should fix the game. Doesn't mean rulebreakers shouldn't be punished.

sounds like proportional penalties to me.
doesn't change the fact the penalties are due.
