I just done a 30 min race in ISI specials, I won by a clear margin. Just checked liveracer Results it seems I came 3rd this is wrong I have the replay to prove it. The driver that came first nori21 went in the pit in my replay it shows everything he finished 3rd. What should I do? I want my hard earned gold medal back.
OK so I just had the same again with the ISI Touring Clio Cup. It says I got a bronze I should have gold, I have replay to prove it.
Ok so if you check out race time the evidence is there, somebody has found an exploit I think. Top 2 guys are approx 1 lap time down from me.
Not an exploit... I have lots of examples from my rF1 leagues where LiveRacers gets the finishing order wrong. I assumed at the time that our server wasn't sending the data reliably (I just recently found an open port on the server that was getting hammered by brute force attacks) I meant to send a sample to Stevo for his review a while ago and forgot. If it's happening to the ISI servers as well then it could be that LR is getting confused by lapped cars or it could be something totally different.
yep sounds like the same, Nori21 pitted and came out first in the end. So this whole liveracers thing is not working properly. I should have 10 gold medals, not happy. Hope someone sees this and rectifies the problem, it should be easy to spot as you can see from the race time. People are a lap down on total laps. All it needs is an auto script to correct mistakes. I dont think this problem occurs if you set a race to laps instead of time, Historics is fine I think.
Tim can I suggest on next Tuesdays rotation you change race length to laps and not duration hopefully that will rectify this finishing order result when someone pits until a more permanent solution is found or the logging is fixed. Right now the liveracers Medal, Ratings and Results are incorrect, I would appreciate a correction be made or a reset and start again once we can be sure the pit exploit cant be used to gain places. What good is all the anti cheat coding if stuff like this happens? Can you let us know whats going on about this issue please.
Just for reference these two races are incorrect I finished first in both by a clear margin http://isiofficial.liveracers.com/Results/Result/4edbc057-373e-47be-bb7d-5212eb2d3614 I notice in this race the other driver did not pit but still found an exploit somewhere and http://isiofficial.liveracers.com/Results/Result/424149ed-2f9a-452c-b2b3-ca285ff55c8d The laps lead is also a dead giveaway
Just a short question for you Bart: For what are you racing? For fun (like me) or for collecting points in a list and a few computer medals... Take it easy. It's only a game. And nothing is perfect ;-)
I just want the system to work, whats the point in doing something if its not going to work? I'm posting here because its a developing system, if we don't report bug error they don't get fixed, then the product doesn't work as intended. You may be here for fun as many others, for me its fun and something I dedicate my time to. @Jerry yes click on the LiveRacers Server above there is a league system in place.
Yeah I does bring something extra for the league-less drivers out there. there's lots of good and dedicated drivers not able to run in communities and having a working system like this in public could well be the difference between getting your fix regularly or 'having' to join random servers for a quick one. There's a reason why almost all gaming genres moved away from actual gameplay (as per old days) into stats-hording, rankings, medals, listings and unlocking stuff. somehow it appeals to people much more seeing their name online and trying to move up a ladder. it keeps them going. And why not in simracing, you should hear the comments in our league when an admin makes a tiny mistake lel So yeah, could even be benefitial for us all to have more drivers going for something (as apposed to joining and not caring) (oh and that's just in general for public racing, not aimed at anyone)
Agree. But on the other hand it would be enough to report the bug. Constant whining about lost medals is not a scrap of help to fix it. +1
If i run alone in server now i will get gold medals? Where is the rules and how to join? edit: i did maybe 3 or 4 races yesterday. I think it wasn´t in a ISI server.
yeah me too, already lost about 7 gold medals... hope in future this ranked system don´t lead to some sort of an apartheid on servers
The developer of LR is away till next week-end, same as he has been last week. I am sure that when he returns from his holiday, he will be more than happy to fix any errors his system is producing. He is active on the forums. Dave NRT
