Possible cheater or glitch (Showdown) | Forums

Guys I am matched up against someone named chride86 and I have him on 2 tracks but not the third as of now. The one I haven't got him on is Stilted Path and I keep messing up and I have 2 faults. It says I have 2 more than him and beat him by 30+ seconds (which is a loss because of more faults of course) BUT when I race against his ghost, HE CRASHES LIKE 15 TIMES! He uses checkpoint restarts, etc. This was the case on one of the other tracks as well, he had "no faults" on Coaster Canyon, but I had him by 20+ seconds. The ghost showed him crashing at the first checkpoint for crying out loud. So basically as long as I can no fault it faster than him I'm good, but it seems his faults don't count.

EDIT: After I finish, if I get a few faults it says VICTORY and I have like 15 less than him, but he keeps the track and on the menu it says he has no faults.

I don't know does this relate to your issue in any means, but there is something wierd limitations on ghosting...

I played Quagmire, did about 50 faults at 1st time, opponent beat me with 25 faults.
Next time i go play, the game shows that faults were 0/15 at start. I wanted to see what happens... I kept the opponen ghost on my screen and counted his faults.
Wierd thing happened after his 15 faults were counted in. the other driver flew past me through obstacles to finish immediadidly after 15th fault.

I think there is something ghost related limitations, like not saving any data after 15 faults?
might this be the issue when someone stays at start and not moving... and then flying to finish?

Anyway, I went with 17 faults to finish and got still victory and got map back to blue.

Hmm...interesting. I'm not sure what was going on but I don't think he was cheating since I beat him. He was faulting all over the place but it said he wasn't. All I had to do was no fault the level and have a decent time.

I am not sure it has to do with faults, but I''ve played people that I know arent cheaters. . .and their ghosts do weird things in the bunker. Like skipping the track, sometimes.... sometimes bike is changing skins every time (lots of them do that).... rider is sometimes missing.... their bike is just beyond the finish line with the rider body in normal position but on his back (no legs).

And it didnt matter what they did... the run was still a valid run. (ie the ghost is glitched but the time/faults were not)
Next time I see one of the weird ones, I'll snap a picture.....

about the faults number problem, is that possible devs did it on purpose to speed up ping-pong?

I've ping-ponged down from 40, and had no real issues with suddenly reduced faults. But then again, I see enough odd stuff that it wouldnt surprise me either.

I'm matched up against someone called dhorasoo25 and if he's not cheating then the game's more messed up than I realised. 1st track he played was The Lift, his ghost dropped through the lift and vanished..his time was 18.xxx which is substantially faster than manchesterctid who I assume has the legit WR. The lb for The Lift has 4 people above manchestercitd including dhorasoo25 who are all obviously glitched/hacked. I'm not beating 18 seconds anytime soon.

The other 2 tracks; The Grindhouse and Trapeze Churn. I've beaten him several times on both tracks but even after the Victory screen it goes back to the status screen ( you and your opponent with 3 race boxes between you ) and shows him having the win and no update to my time/fault count. I have taken a couple screenshots of this if it helps anyone...doubt anything's getting done about it though. At the start of The Grindhouse his ghost approaches the first obstacle then just shoots off in the direction of the finish line.

I have 2 other challenges ongoing and they are both behaving correctly so I'm fairly sure this guy's taking the piss in some way :/

i had the same situation once that i beat FlipScripts 5or6 times but he still owned that track.
i believe this is the server problem, because i know he's not a cheater.

but i've never seen a ghost with abnormal behaviours like disappear or shoot off.

edit: i'm on ios

Man I hope it is some dodgy server issue tbh, then I may still have a chance to beat the guy even if I won't know it till the Victory/Defeat screen. The 18 seconds on The Lift makes me doubt it though :

I'm also matched up against dhorasoo25 on Android. The tracks we compete on are Sunset Dungeon - MANTIS, Barrel Chase - ARMADILLO, Wall Crack - TANGO. On all tracks his ghost starts reversing, and then he reappears further into the track. He crashes multiple times, but none of them are counted. When I finish the race, it says Victory on the screen, even though I didn't beat his times, but he stays as leader on the track.
