Notable threadSuspected fuel-mileage cheat in NR2003 online races

Larry reported an open Talladega race in which one driver finished without the mandatory pit stop and suspected a memory cheat. Others pointed to earlier RAM cheats, and Papyrus's Eric Busch replied that NR2003 encrypted and randomised sensitive physics values in memory, that beta testers had failed to reproduce old cheats, and asked for proof of any working cheat. Posters also complained that the promised patch had not appeared.

Guys, I hate to say it but I think there is a new cheat out there :( I just ran in an open 2x Dega Race (it was a disaster - I should have known better). The length was set to make a pit stop mandatory. Everyone who didn't pit ran out of gas. EXCEPT for one person. He never pitted, and won the race by a lap. He also left the server very, very quickly after the race was over. Damn... Larry
Sadly it's not a new one, I have heard of someone extending the gas mileage before.

Well, If that is the way you want to "win"! I need a cheat that makes my spotter tell me when a car is beside me *before* I am hitting it. I swear the spotter timing is off by at least a full second in this game, I need side mirrors!!!! -- McWhom ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Rilva.50635$[email hidden]... : Guys, I hate to say it but I think there is a new cheat out there :( : : I just ran in an open 2x Dega Race (it was a disaster - I should have known : better). : : The length was set to make a pit stop mandatory. : : Everyone who didn't pit ran out of gas.

Man, I hate online cheaters. Offline, I can understand why people would want to and they have every right. But when a person goes online, there's no need to give yourself a superior advantage over others (aside from just being a excellent player). IMO, they aren't going to garner any respect by cheating. And they really didn't win. Maybe they're afraid of losing? -Will
Lesson: race with people whom you know and password protect the race. Besides that, I think you're jumping to conclusions. To state that there might be a cheat based on the information given, is a bit presumptuous.

Actually we do, otherwise we wouldn't have bothered to make the efforts to encrypt and randomly allocate memory for sensitive physics parameters in NR2003. Not to say that one doesn't exist (where there's a will there's a way), but I've yet to see a working RAM cheat for 2003.

I remember hearing that Papy was trying to get a patch out by April, but they obviously blew that timeframe. :)

I am a little bit worred that we might never see a patch at all, or one that really fixes anything siginificant. I am sure Papy would love to, but I but they get pressure from the publisher too just forget it. I mean what is the motivation... Brian Oster

I've never seen a working RAM cheat for 2003, nor to my knowledge has any current Papyrus or Sierra employee. The beta testers were in fact specifically tasked by me to try and duplicate the cheats that were possible in previous products, but there were no reports that they were ever successful. If you or anyone else has definitive proof to contradict that, please let us know (and by that I mean more than simply saying PlayerX is faster than me, so he must be cheating). - Eric "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:WIWva.1352$[email hidden]... > Considering that the VRW and MHOGaming servers are filled with > posters/lurkers that are related to Papyrus (either ex-testers, beta > testers, ex-employees, etc..) , I find very bizarre that a Papyemployee > would contradict what most of the people are seeing while racing, thatthey > don't know of any cheat.
