Yeah, from what I've seen, people have already figured out how to cheat somehow. Strange occurrences seem to be happening in the Gamespy games. This dude(Metallion) would just disappear everytime I almost hit him, or his car would lunge to the side suddenly. That pisses me off...no fun.

I figured it out SloppyGoat. How Metallion "cheated." Well, I saw that in another game against someone else and it reminded me of what you said. Well, as soon as I would be about to hit him he would disappear. I bet if you turned down the recovery latency REAL low you could use it like that. The game I was playing it was just freak accident that it would happen that way, it; the guy wasn't cheating. Guy gets stuck so I seize the opportunity. Of course he's gonna want to recover, but by the time I got to him the timer was prob down.

Don't know why I didn't see that. I guess its cause I never think to hit recover if someone's comin' at me and I'm still good to go. If I know it's gonna happen, might as well take it like a man. (Hell, I hobbled away and managed to evade one guy for 5 minutes, all while at 18% going about 40 mph, LOL; I've honed my "coward tactics" greatly over the years, heh heh)

Yeah, but recovery was set for 5 seconds....it doesn't make sense. And the side shifting....that's fucked up man. I really hadn't seen any latency with that good of timing before, ever.

Here's my latest theory from more playing. Remember this is my own speculation:

If the server is slow, you get a "ghost" image of the opponent, because the data hasn't "caught up." When you go to hit it the car, maybe something with the collision info makes the game realize that car isn't there and updates it?

Once I was driving along and all of a sudden I was inside of another car. The other guy immediately blew up and I flew across the map. He was nowhere to be seen before that. It was like the car just appeared in the same place I happened to be.
