The forums are full of complaints as people battle it out for the league rankings on the game - unfortunately, right there, is where the exploit exists. Let me explain.
Once you go into 'Online Hacking' there comes a point when you may want to come out of it.
e.g. I watched Ellohime hit 100K followers and leave online hacking so he could chat to his Twitch followers for a few minutes."
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
can we get some approvals please?
Not really too bad, it just reset your stance.
What I hate about online hacking is when they get you a target, and he is no where good for it. One time I had a guy in the middle of the ocean and he just stopped and sat there when it alerted I came. As you can imagine, one random person swimming out to him, wonder who the intruder is?
It's even worse when that happens in tailing. Tailing is super fun when its a crowded place or places to hide, but when they get the advantage and run to a wide open area where no one is, it becomes too hard. I just think a simple fix would be to have the AI act out more. Have them run, or roam to random spots, etc... so an actual player doesn't stick out so bad.
This explains so much. I've been playing WAY too much and am currently sitting at 22nd in the world. So when I saw the top of the leaderboard and see that they have almost 4 times as many points as me in half the time, I got really confused.
I guess I'll have to wait for them to clear the leader boards of players who have reset.
The online in this game is super fun, they really should have made a mode similar to the fixer side quest where you are both in cars and you have to stay close to download the data then wreck and kill them, that would have been way fun against a human opponent.
If you're hacking someone else, be sure to avoid blowing steam pipes or electrical objects. They can cause damage to your opponent, either willingly or not, and cause you to immediately lose the match.
