Bad Sport

[Smokemadhaze]

Alot of people have been reporting getting out of bad sport early the past few months. After experiencing the same thing myself I went on my main account (bad sport since november) to try to figure out wtf is going on and how to recreate the glitch.

 

It might not be a glitch, it could be a new feature Rockstar did not tell us about. Most likely a glitch tho. Until they fix their bad sport timer from resetting I cant confirm that it is not a glitch.

 

Im sure there are other ways to do this glitch but this is how I did it so yeah...

 

Step 1: When in the bad sport lobby, do jobs with other players until you get into a lobby with a mix of bad/dodgy/clean players (to check player status push start - online - players). I farmed rooftop rumble (LV75) for this, best mission to get other players to join.

 

Step 2: When in a mixed lobby turn on passive mode and simply wait (do not do any bad sport actions, just chill). If you wait long enough (took roughly a hour for me) you will be back in clean player status. When you get clean player status join another session.

 

Step 3: You will now be in a clean player lobby but your dunce cap will still be on and your bad sport time will have been reset. Once again chill until clean player status comes back (roughly another hour). When you get to clean player you may have to wait a few hours for clean player to stick. (see edit below)

Edit: If for some reason your bad sport timer / dunce cap comes back after joining another lobby (after step 3), you will still be in a clean player lobby. Repeat step 3 and when you get to clean player status again, stay in the lobby for a few more hours, get awards, and go rob some stores. Whatever it takes to make clean player stick. DO NOT do missions, this will reset bad sport. If you do wait for a extended amount of time make sure the game saves by going in and out of your garage.

 

TY jetlife for your input on this.

 

 

OMG it worked. I did awards, rob stores and stayed in the lobby for 5 to 6 hours and then my ps3 froze when i logged back on i was dodgy player. thanks smokemadhaze you saved me a lot hope u enjoy the new update !!!

note: How long you have to wait seems to vary from person to person. Doing awards help.

I was in for 30 days this time...got out in 2 and a half days...didn't actually know what I did (may have done this by mistake)

 

Explains a lot!

This is not a glitch or a new feature, it is how bad sport works.

 

The only part of your list that is needed to get out of bad sport is Part 1 (Do jobs with other players).

 

How bad sport works is you get bad points or good points for doing certain things. Do missions with other players you get good points, someone commends you, more good points. If you blow up PV's, bad points, someone reports you, more bad points. The game tracks those points and if you get a certain number of bad points more than good points (I don't know how many, the Rockstar employee I talked to either didn't know or wouldn't say) then you get put in bad sport.

 

It doesn't matter how many times you have been put in bad sport or how long your sentence is, to get out you simply need to rebalance your points enough that you get out.

 

If you get in bad sport just do missions (with other people, it doesn't count if you do it solo) and get people to commend you and you will be out in no time. The problem is finding people to do missions with since the BS lobbies tend to be pretty empty. If you can find someone in BS willing to grind rooftop rumble, you're golden. You can get out quickly and make some money while you're at it.

 

Obviously it is a retarded system since they don't even look at reports or commends to see if they are genuine, they just count them as bad or good points no matter what but the laughable inadequacy of the bad sport system is for another post......

 

I have been in (and out of) bad sport many times. I spent a lot of time on the phone with multiple different rockstar employees before I finally got one that explained the system. From my experience, the point system I described is how it actually works but many (most?) rockstar employees don't even know about it or don't understand how it works.

This does work perfectly ! i got out of a 2 years 10 months 3 days bad sport < yes this is true .. i missed up my bad sport threshold by doing the DNS and the tunables hacking and the time didn't even decrease .. it just seemed like it's suck at their .. and for the past two weeks i started to loose my hope of getting out .. specially that i sent R* three tickets and emails without getting any response

 

so I'm really glad i found this topic .. and i tried it step-by-step ,, and it eventually worked .. I'm so happy that i can finally play gta with my friends and get rid of that stupid hat .. ( And i actually have been placed into a normal clean players lobby few times , but i didn't know that doing this method i can escape the bad sport )

 

all my respect and thanks for Smokemadhaze

You don't even need to do missions. You can just wait anywhere untill you turn clean. Keep in mind it resets the timer, and can reset it to 1 full year or more soon after. I know this because that happend to one of my alt accounts months ago lol.

I would agree with you but when you go into a clean player lobby, your timer resets and your hat is still on. Im not saying that you are wrong but until Rockstar fixes their bad sport timer from resetting, I cant confirm this.

Yup waiting during step 1 may be a alternative to doing jobs with other players. I tried this but it took waaay to long. I had better luck with making this go faster by doing jobs with other players.

if all else fails, repeat step 3. when you get to clean player status go to swap character and create a new char and complete the tutorial then switch back to main. Let me know how it works out. I got out of bad sport with no problems so I could not test this. if that doesn't work just remain in clean player status for a few hours longer that would be your best bet, im not 100% sure on what makes clean player stick so any input would be helpful. DO NOT do missions during or after steps 2 and 3 this also resets your timer.

gonna try all this just now i will let everyone know if the character switch works thanks for the advice!

If that dont work, just stay clean player for a few hours longer. Im pretty sure thats how I got it to stick. I did alot of things after step 3 (waiting, rewards, robbing stores). so I'm not 100% sure on what exactly made clean player stick. I wanted to test the character swap but i never got a chance to do it.

The new character glitch doesn't work i'm on step 3 about to get some awards & rob some stores the only way i'm leaving this lobby is if there is a network error or my ps3 freezes lol wish me luck !

[jetlife420]

OMG it worked it did awards and rob stores and stayed in the lobby for 5 to 6 hours and then my ps3 froze wen i logged back on the 1.12 update was ready to be installed so i installed it and went online and i was dodgy player thanks smoke madhaze you saved me a lot hope u enjoy the new update !!!

ty OP you saved me alot of time

[TheProphet78]

The exact time to wait to be a clean player in a bad lobby is exactly 30 minutes. The game will inform you your bad sport time every 12-15 mins. When you see your time a second time, the dunce cap will be removed soon. At that point the clean player status is temporary.

 

Ive gotten out of bad sport once before doing this. Once I became clean sport from bad sport (16 days), I joined a race, completed it, and was a clean player afterwards. Only served 4 days on that sentence. Now my current bad sport sentence (1month1day) is not working through the race method. Once I complete the race, the game automatically makes me host for the next race and kicks everyone out the lobby because it has been reverted to a bad sport race.

 

I am attempting this method now to see if it works. I served my 1 month1day time already and R* wont acknowledge it on Social Club Support. Hopefully this works.

[TheProphet78]

I did the 30 min. glitch and entered a clean lobby. stayed for 4 hours. switched lobby and still bad sport. stayed in the clean lobby for about 6-7 hours, switched lobbies, still bad sport.

 

third attempt is happening right now. any tips

do awards and invite friends to commend you. as for how long you have to wait to make clean player stick seems to vary from person to person. also when you do wait for a extended amount of time, make sure the game saves by going in and out of your garage.

don't leave the lobby for nothing unless a network error occur and doing the awards will get you out before you know it.look for the easiest and fastest i did the lapping it up, point break,the exporter,crate chaser and clear out..try to go for platinum in all the awards this will kill the time

[CatchMeTrolling]

Tried this for about 6-7Hrs, sadly it didnt work & i also can't give out money anymore either for some reason

[TheProphet78]

The third attempt did not work, and my xbox froze on fourth attempt. Im having trouble getting this right. Most of my awards are all platinum and I my entire crew commended me. 32 in total. It took off a godd chunk of my time and gave me a 5% discount at ALL stores. Yet when I attempt to switch lobbies the third try, my bad sport went back up to 2month4days. This is frustrating. Any other methods

waiting and doing awards is the only know method right now. I only had to wait 3 hours to make clean player stick. All I can say is to follow my guide step by step. Doing missions until you are in a mixed lobby might mean that you are close to being out of bad sport. Thats the only thing you have done differently than me.

 

Check the 3rd post in this thread by Jakethemus, if he is right it could explain why you are still a bad sport. You might still have too many bad points doing the glitch directly out of the pure bad sport lobby. step 1 and 2 looks like it gets you close to clean player with good points making the wait alot less after step 3. Its just a guess. My guide seems to be working for everyone else.

 

Normally step 1 would be enough to get back into a clean player lobby but since the bs timer keeps resetting it f*cks bad sport up pretty bad. The players in a mixed lobby are probably clean players getting pushed back into bad sport by the timer reset glitch. I hope this all makes sense. Glitching past a glitch is hard to describe as it is lol.

If you successfully complete step 3, will you still have a dunce cap on after you join a new session?

Will you also be able to blow up more than say 5 PV's without getting into Bad Sport?

[andtrea]

Thanks for these tips.

I'm in the middle of step 3.

How do I know when my new "clean status" will keep?

After step 3 u have to wait for a few hours for clean player to stick and then you wont have the hat or a timer. When you do get clean player to stick then you will probably be close to dodgy player. The longer you stay a clean player the more pvs you can blow up before returning to dodgy player status. Click the link below.

You dont know thats the tricky part. After step 3 you have to wait in the lobby for a few hours/do awards and hope you stayed in long enough that clean player status sticks. I waited 3 hours, but other players have said they had to wait 6 or more hours. You can thank Rockstar for this, screwing up the bs timer.

3 hours weren't enough for me, and a connection error occurred so, I'll try again and let you know.

 

Anyway, can you understand if the clean status sticks only on the next reboot or something happens like, I don't know... does the dunce hat disappear?

You will know if it sticks when you join another lobby. Your hat will not be on and the timer will be gone (you have to take hat off yourself btw). You dont have to reboot. Make sure the game saves often by going in and out of your garage. If a network error happens then you will lose all progress since the last auto save
