New race glitch - modders or a once off bug?

[Headdogg81]

Has anyone come across a race where you cannot progress through the checkpoints? I was playing the commute. It was a full lobby with one rank 1000 player (not sure if relevant...). Countdown started to the race and everyone jumped the start with 1 second left to go. Putting it down to lag we all proceed to the first checkpoint at full throttle but noone could progress past the first checkpoint except 2 players. Everyone else had to turn around and go back to checkpoint one but it would not activate to move onto the next checkpoint. It ended up with 14 players all doing donuts on the checkpoint marker but unable to get past that. Anyone else come across this before?

You found a full race lobby of 16 people?!?!?!?

if the second player was also 1,000 i'd call it a mod - unfortunately

 

though 'just a bug' is possible, it doesn't seem likely

PerceusSOZ - Yeah weird huh..... It was the commute though.

 

tomuk3 - I dont know if it was the level 1000 that was able to proceed through the checkpoints. I didnt check TBH.

First and final bump...

 

So assuming no one else has had this issue. Put it down to a once off bug?

I've had races that don't ever start happen where everyone is left just spinning their wheels at the start line and races where I have spawned facing the wrong way at the start line but not what up described.

I'd say it would be a one off bug with the check points glitching.

Had something similar couple weeks ago, don't remember the ranks but everyone has to run the first checkpoint three times our so then race proceeded normally.

That is a glitch, what sort of MOD would do that? You cannot blame EVERYTHING on modders... Jeez.

[Headdogg81]

Hence I posed it as a question AbortSanity....... Jeez!

Im not a modder. I dont know what is and what is not possible. All I know is I was in a race where only 2 out of 16 people could proceed through checkpoints. I dont know about you but that sounds really handy to me if you are trying to win races. Lets be honest here too. Modders don't care about others experience or playing fair so I woulnt put it past them at all.

Several times now, I've had races suddenly seem like "Catchup" was enabled, as my car clearly wouldn't top out anymore. Always seems like some high ranked player is around when it happens, but they are everywhere...

I've had this on the Commute, everyone jumped the gun @2 seconds, got the first checkpoint and then followed the leader who went through Sandy shores. Somehow, someone got killed and respawned without a car but weapons could be used so we eventually all got murdered. As I was intrigued, I explored- event 'circles' you walk into to open them were present but you could walk into them and nothing happened. LSC opened but the menu didn't open. Your garage was inaccessible, and holding Y to respawn didn't work.

 

Kind of a useless glitch as you can't sell any of the race cars.. Dammit!
