Dedimania forum

I don't think there are that many of them like that, I know there are a lot of maps I have raced on that you have to do the wait for the fast boost to get the best times, but that's just a trick to learn it's not cheating, is there a way for me to see a list of the replays so that I could see what the problem could be? I'm very curious as I only hold very few record times and mostly the only ones that I have ever gotten #1 dedi record on are new tracks that I have just uploaded freshly and been the first to run.

I assure you and I have many people that can back me up that I don't cheat, I host servers in the game and always keep my eye out for cheats myself.

My acct hasn't been hacked but is there anything that could be wrong with my pc to be causing this? I know that I can only race a few hours before I start to get invalid times and have to reboot my pc to make it work right again.

Thank you for your time messing with this, I will have a donation sent your way as soon as work picks back up.

I may know how it could be, I validate my tracks on 1 lap so as to not have an extended amount of time when they are played on the server.

it could be that the 1 lap cp times are so slow and the 2nd lap cp time is so many seconds lower?

if this is the case and can't be resolved through nadeo, I can revalidate all my tracks at 3 laps and just change my autotime settings if necessary.

I'm not sure who all was running with me the other night but I know idiot420, theshadow1995 and hellchylde are regulars on my servers and maps and they might have the same issues as me since they are always beating me...

Thanks for the assistance and lifting the bans very much, most of the ppl that play on my servers are usually on one at a time and the dedi records are what they are racing against so I'd like to keep that all up and working correctly so people aren't getting banned that shouldn't be.

(I also just went in and looked and my server that has these maps now has 68 of them so maybe 1 of them isn't validated at single lap or something but most of them are)

if this is the issue let me know and I'll get all these single lap valids deleted from MX and revalidate them, would it be best to do them at 3 laps or would 2 laps work is another question if so

I took that server down for now as I don't have time to edit the maps just this minute, I will go ahead and change these as soon as I have a chance and then get back to you when they're updated to see if it resolves the issue, if that's alright anyway, might be faster than waiting on nadeo and if it's just tracks on my servers I would imagine that's probably the issue.

on a lot of those maps the first checkpoint time on the 2nd lap is just ridiculously lower than first lap so I can see why it would think a cheat was involved say if the first cp is at 10sec in the validation and it starts gettin first cp times of 4 sec instead...

Sorry that we didn't think about that when we validated the tracks, our main intent with the single lap validations was to manipulate the autotime plugin to give less time to the multilaps that weren't very long.  I will just adjust the multiplier down in the autotime plugin with the longer validations.

okay sounds good to me, do you think I can just leave that server up?

It is peoples favorite of mine and those maps are mostly why, but I don't want people to get banned and you have to mess with a whole bunch of stuff straightening it up.

I know it's a lot of work you do to keep all this going and I don't want to make more for you by any means.

Thanks for all your help man, without dedi and x2 this game wouldn't be near as addictive as it is now:)
