Trackmania's Most Hilariously Overpowered Bug

[@asuri8751]

This is his origin story, I bet he hadn't cheated at all yet and got tired of the game and it's bugs like this so he was willing to do anything to "be the best"

[@jasserty]

@@asuri8751 stll sjliud not have cheated

[@StAngerNo1]

I forgot who said it, I think Karl Jobst, but "The best players don't cheat to get a better time, they cheat to get a better time faster." People keep forgetting that Riolu was one of the best players in the world, he could compete in the TM Grand League and other online events. I guess he just did not have to patience to grind a track for dozens, if not hundrets of hours to achieve a new world record. I do not want to excuse him, it is still despicable to cheat, because that way he robs the title from players that actually put in the work and time to grind out a new world record, but it does not invalidate this critizism.

holy shit you're right lmfao actually fire introspection lol

[@user-je2yq7ru8w]

@@ToaderTheToad it's actually a ridiculous, novice mistake. It's because they're simply subtracting velocity to make you slower as the expectation is that this will bring velocity toward 0, but when your velocity is already negative it makes you faster. All they have to do in this case is switch between adding and subtracting velocity based on current velocity being positive or negative.

[@ralexcraft990]

[@lesnt4449]

Or 50kmps backwards

[@ScrewDMarius89]

Very well done. :) So much of the information put into such a relatively short video. There are only minor things that I would have added or that maybe come a bit unclear. For example: - It sounds as if you could use the backwards trick on many maps, but in fact the maps need to have certain criterias so that backwards can be faster. In Canyon it was difficult to find any map and back then as well as nowadays: there is no Canyon campaign map where the record drives backwards. The first maps where I got a record were multilap maps, so that I don't have the time loss at the start. -Starting with kb only makes sense when you drive forwards and turn around in a start jump. You can’t wiggle backwards with normal keyboard. But still: using multiple devices with different dxtweak settings would be the solution. The wiggles are most powerful the more you steer, just right before sliding out. If you use extreme settings of dxtweak just for the high velocity in the end, you will have bad wiggles as you don’t steer enough. Only with a joystick or steering wheel it could work to only use one device for the best possible outcome due to its precision. Otherwise you would need to have multiple devices, each one with different max steering for the different speeds.. but then the question is: is that cheating then? - In 2017 we already knew that backwards driving is still faster, but without knowing about the wiggling it took just very long until the car got fast enough. We did that on short circle maps on an online server. Also on Valley A05: without wiggling it needs 10 Laps, but then you will be faster than forwards (as you need to steer in the 2 corners each lap anyway). So you could beat Dedi records on Multilap maps online in TimeAttack. But for normal start to finish the acceleration to these speeds took too long.

Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power. Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes. Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved. Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed. Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions. Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope. Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome. Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power. Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes. Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years.

It's funny to see that when a new gamebreaking tech that revitalizes it is found people quickly want it either banned or patched when, IMO, they should get a separate leaderboard. Having different options to play is always better than having only one. Talks about fairness are just there because people don't want to learn something new.

[@Gavinsloan356]

The issue with TM2 games is all the times are stored in Nadeo/Ubisoft servers like TM2020 with an in game leaderboard. And like TM2020 its the standard for record times. The issue is they're not very likely to update TM2 and remove all the backwards times anytime soon, and definitley doubt a seperate leaderboard either. Since they'd have to sort every run.

@@DarkKeiro fair point. I thought about it from the perspective of absurdity. Driving backwards is something you see everyday, it’s completely normal. However the thought of a sedan driving 500mph, not to mention traveling thousands of feet in the air, is completely absurdist and nearly satirical. Because of that my joke points at the absurd perspective, how Nadeo will hastily update driving backwards as if it was wrong.

"How Mater became the world's fastest racer"

[@hatman4818]

This makes sense to me as a development oversight. In real cars, reverse often has an extremely low gear ratio, providing excellent torque. I'm pretty sure most cars have even lower gear ratio in reverse than in 1st gear. This means reverse should provide the highest torque, which translates to theoretically, extremely high acceleration when you floor it. The problem IRL is that you trade torque for maximum speed. So if you floored it in reverse, yes you'd accelerate very quickly... But only to a very low top speed before you hit the engine's rev limiter. And unlike driving forwards, you dont have a bunch of gear ratios to upshift to, youre stuck with that one very low gear ratio. This is a very intentional design choice by auto manufacturers. Reverse is used almost exclusively for parking, or getting out of parking, which requires low speed precision. This then requires that reverse only has a very low speed regime, meaning changes in throttle position result in very small changes in speed... Which then leads to a very low gear ratio. The extra torque from a low gear ratio is simply an unintended side effect. As a developer, modelling this high acceleration is useful to the player. A dev would expect a player to only use reverse if they've somehow messed up and come to a stop against a wall. High acceleration reverse helps the player very quickly recover, and get back on track to continue the race. ... A development oversight here would be to not model any form of rev limit to the reverse gear... Meaning the digital car can just continue that insanely high acceleration indefinitely to speeds far higher than the better modelled forward gears can achieve. Perhaps the devs didnt think about this, because, well... Who would ever want to drive backwards for longer than a few seconds in a recovery situation? They maybe literally didnt think to limit the maximum speed of reverse, because they didnt envision any situation a player would try using reverse for longer than a couple seconds. ... This does actually break the game, because it means that reverse not only has the best acceleration than any other gear, but also that it has no top end rev limit... Why would you ever want to drive forward, reverse is inherently the fastest way to drive at that point. It's the best of both worlds (unlike the real world, where it's the best of only one).

[@renakunisaki]

I get the impression that they modeled it a bit unrealistically (probably to save resources) and just used a quick approximation. They fixed the driving backward thing by adding a rule that as your speed approaches -250 your acceleration falls to 0, but didn't account for being able to turn around while already past that and essentially get negative acceleration. But I'm just guessing. I haven't seen the code or anything.

[@TheSultan1470]

Exactly

[@iantaakalla8180]

Isn’t backwards movement a common time saving trick anyways, such as the backwards long jump from Mario 64? It is nice to know that cars actually accelerate faster in reverse, but I thought backwards movement was a classic programmer thing to skip limiting entirely and therefore a thing to exploit.

[@DaftFader]

Their was a game in the 90s or early 2000s where you drive/race a big rig truck, WITHOUT the trailer hitched to it. I can't remember the name of the game. But I remember the lead game programmer was fired because while driving backward, you could reach up to 5,000MPH!!!

[@asdanjer]

[@Robin93k]

Reminds me of the unholy speed tanks could get in 3rd Gen GTA Games when driving and shooting backwards. Their was technically a speed cap for driving backwards, but it only disabled your accelaration, just like in TM, but everytime you shot backwards you got a small speed boost (instead of while steering), which stacked with every shot.

I love how the Trackmania games have all the same bugs/oversights as 90s games. We had the wall acceleration,like Doom, now the backward acceleration oversight that lets you BLJ in Mario 64. Tbh so long as it takes skill to master, why bother patching it out?

[@LazerWulf]

In the instance of the original backwards driving, I think it was patched out because it DIDN'T take skill to master, just a controller and dxtweak. And aside from being busy with TM2020, the backwards wiggle does require skill, so I think it should be fair game. Also, technically the BLJ was patched out in the Shindou version of SM64, which is the version that got ported for 3D All Stars.

[@Freezorgium]

I've thought about this before. New Trackmania titles only "update" the art, sounds and graphics, the game's code for the car physics and everything about the gameplay itself is the same as back in the original except they switch the numbers around for the speed/acceleration/grip/turn rate/grip limit, etc; the gameplay itself is all the same simplistic 90's code since the beginning.

[@LazerWulf]

@@Freezorgium True, the actual physics engine doesn't change, only the values they give it, but that's what makes fixing these bugs so easy, if they choose to do so.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the similarity to the coast car from TMS/TMUF yet. Coast car also gains a ridiculous amount of speed if you drive it backwards while pressing forwards and wiggling. However, you need to be on a turbo. That technique is used on almost all modern stunt tracks which have the coast car.
