Yes, you heard that right. HACKS going around in Forza Horizon 4. Or, at least, a seriously game-breaking glitch. EITHER WAY, this is a big floppin' problem, and I believe some light needs to be shed on it. Let me give you the details of what went down.
So, I was puttering around in an S1 Asphalt Custom Adventure, testing out some tunes for the new LFA. Because, honestly, who else wouldn't want to drown their ears in that godlike engine sound? Anyways, the third race rolls around, at Derwent Lakeside Sprint, and in comes an individual by the
[Mod Edit - Don't name/shame on the forums. If you spot something suspicious, report it via support.forzamotorsport.net - MM]The dude's a No-Star Level 48, running a Rank 896 BAC Mono. (They'd actually joined the race prior, but the recording I had of that race went missing for some reason.) They start sixth on the grid, I start fourth, and what happens? Before the "GO!" even fully appears on screen, I'm rammed up the back by this guy despite the fact that my foot was hard on the gas, and everyone was ghosted. I mean, they went from zero to sixty in well under two seconds, possibly even one second. I actually catch some of their momentum, but they go FLYING off into the distance, and at the FIRST CHECKPOINT, they hold a lead of over 2.5 Seconds. At this point, my jaw is through the floor, and I continue the race because I can't believe what I'm seeing. At NO POINT throughout the ENTIRE RACE do any of us gain ground on this prick, and they clock a finishing time of 1:52.473, which nearly DNF's half the field.
So, post-race, I go to check the S1 Rivals times, and that's nearly FIVE SECONDS FASTER than any legitimate time held by the Shelby Monaco KC. Then, looking up the board, what do I see? Four players, all driving the KTM X-Bow GT4, three of which having extremely similar names, [Mod Edit] all with times under 1:50. HECK, the world record holder, with an absurd time of 1:29.229, goes by the name [Mod Edit]. I'm at a loss for words, and the only thing I can do is check all the other boards, and what happens? The SAME FOUR GUYS putting down IMPOSSIBLE TIMES on Lake District Sprint, Broadway Village Circuit, Astmoor Heritage Circuit, Ambleside Village Circuit, ALL OF THEM. Heck,[Mod Edit] has their mitts on OWEN'S MCLAREN. I don't even know how that's possible, but I think my point is made. Get these two topics going around, ESPECIALLY the first, and let's get this thing fixed. Forza may be home to extreme skill imbalances and a questionable playerbase, but it has NO PLACE for cheaters and hackers.
