Floating cars in Forza3 recently?

[The_Jackal]

Over the last few days I have seen something I have never seen before in Forza Multiplayer. Floating cars!
It is normally only one player in the race, and they float about a tyres height above the track, and sometimes even bob up and down.
Also, more regularly I see what can only be described as the equivalent of lag switching where the car judders a bit and then skips 100m down the track, all the way through the race. In my experience of Forza this is not how normal slow connections act. It definitely look different.
I really hope we dont now have a load of idiots using lag switches in Forza just cos they found the vid on YouTube on how to make them for MW2.
It doesnt really give them an advantage it is just really offputting.

Yup I get the exact same, quite annoying!

My mate wouldn't know what a lag switch was if you hit him in the face with one, but his car has done exactly the same thing when we have played before.It did it on the old forza, too.Cars zooming around the track, appearing in front of you causing a crash when he swore blind he was round the next corner and nowhere near me etc etc etc.

I have not heard of any 'cheats' on this game, although that's not to say there are not any, but what you describe I have seen many times before.It was funny the first time he shot off at 1000 mph, but it's a nightmare trying to have a clean race.

I know what you mean with that kind of lag, but this acts differently. Its hard to explain unless you have seen it. Imagine if someone was playing on a dial up connection, that is how bad it is.
This type of jumping about has only happened within the last week, and the floating cars are definitely new.

i've started noticing this recently too, was racing one on one with a Viper last night, and as soon as the lights turned green, he just shot into the air, came back down to about 10ft up then continued like that for about half a lap.

Very off puting and very strange
