The guy who had dedi one on the previous link has also a strange cp time there (take a look at the last cps)

(TMX: http://tmnforever.tm-exchange.com/main. … 10887#auto)

This report opened quite a can of worms, as one track let to another, one player to another, all with some or quite a few entries in which one or two sectors on a full-speed multi-lap track were 10+ % faster than average. There were other similarities, like most pertaining players hailing from the same French sub-zone, and all entries occurring between Feb and May this year.

In the end nearly a dozen logins were banned and a few added to the warning list, but this took all my available spare time yesterday (and some more today), hence only now a response. And this is also why that Dedi #3 changed into #2, as you guys kept commenting on a report that was still being processed.

Anyway, thanks.

and finally this guy on dedi 1:

Well, just look at the cp times, it's impossible to cut on this map (i checked it on the Server). I didnt find the map on tmx, but its on BE Nascar Server where you can drive it.

A laps server isn't really practical to experiment, and this is deja-vu, resulting in the same action.

This time is impossible, the track itself has no option for shortcut as it's just fullspeed and a few curves.

Yeah, and he made a strange entry 15 minutes earlier that afternoon too. Housekeeping performed, thanks.

Hmm, that seems impossible, unless by some extremely lucky fluke he was able to complete the second sector without that back-flip like KubiK's. Server funnyadmin1 where this was driven still has the local record, meaning it's either poorly administrated or the entry is considered valid by its admins.
mercurio8x doesn't appear to have any other suspect entries among his #1's, so I'm not right away judging this to be a relapse by a former cheater.

Does anyone else have an opinion about this record?

I don't see any way of him getting that time with any kind of flip considering at which time you hit that edge of the road. As you see on the picture above you'd have to reach the finish in 1.4 sec after hitting that spot so that's unlikely to happen.

Anyway I've contacted him via MP chat to upload the replay if he has it within 24 hours, if you don't mind waiting an extra day.

2nd track: 4fAHvkiVuBQMGbumGnkpGP4DAA0

His 2nd sector looks just impossible as Jigsaw himself allready had a fast one, if needed I can try to get the replay from him.

3rd track: Ns1jA9hFoEm2vQ38SYl_IiTeqxb (storage glitch?)

I don't know how or why, but his sectors can't be seen when clicked on his time, and on tmx top10 dedi list he doesn't appear, but the entry it there, so any ideas what's this?

Well I know you're not wasting time on such crappy blockmix tracks, but watching another replay with good and might give an estimate of what's possible and what's not.

This login has only 3 entries, and it seems a bit ridicolous that one is an ESL track world record.

Not anymore. Thanks.

Already dealt with last night. Reread the reporting rules, especially 1b.

Housekeeping performed, thanks. And there was another one like that at the old #6 record, which led to a ban.

Both banned and all deleted, thanks.

Impossible 2nd sector time, cheat.

And plenty other entries too. Banned and all deleted, thanks.

Two players that seem to be cheating just a little to avoid detection I guess. Haven't found anything obvious with bad cp times. But plenty of failed validations and obvious cheating in race replays. Are failed validation files and obvious cheating in replays good enough to get players banned?

Screenshot of chat after he cheated 9.88. He then did 5.78 without cheating and validation was good.

Possibly cheating at 0:52 just before finishing. Validation fails anyway.

Such assertions are pointless wthout proof.

I checked only a small amount of his replays on tmx and again I found plenty invalid replays that equal his dedi times.
I can easily find more if it is not enough.
You can probably find a ton of other invalid replays here tmnforever.tm-exchange.com/main.aspx?ac … id=6051796

I investigated this login last week, found those too, but the invalidation reason is always "Wrong Simulation". I'm not entirely sure what that means, but the replays show really wacky cuts (and no impossible car physics), so maybe the engine loses track (no pun intended) somewhere.

Anyway, so far benefit of the doubt applies.
