Hey everyone,

i just wanted to bring back attention to the respawn abuse bug. The devs tried to fix it around a year ago, but it still works, everyone uses it and it's still gamebreaking and annoying.

How it works: When you see that your teammate is gonna finish the section before you do, you slow down on purpose and as soon as he finished, you press the respawn key as fast as you can.

If you do that correctly, you respawn on the next section way ahead of your teammate. You won't get the extra second, but you don't need that in 99 % of the time anyways (only on specific maps, but they are rare).

Video: https://streamable.com/87kw2m: (https://streamable.com/87kw2m) - you can clearly see me finishing first, but i start on the next section around half a second behind someone who used the bug.

Games should not be decided by who can press the respawn key faster. Please fix this, thank you.

Hello @Twitch-Schwabba,

Thanks for reaching out and apologies for our delayed response!

This is still being looked into by the team as still ongoing so I've gone ahead and added your video to the investigation.

We don't have any further details, but if we do hear back or require any more information, we'll let you know here.

Thanks for the report!

Hey @Twitch-Schwabba

I appreciate your input on this and can understand the frustration because of the wait when you are trying to win races fairly.

We don't directly have any input on which issues or bugs get addressed in which order for the game, and can't provide a specific time frame for these.

Once we know more information on topics such as this, we will communicate them as soon as possible through the forums or official Ubisoft social channels.

I apologize in the meantime for any inconvenience.
