Hello guys , so in the last two days and especially today , i have faced a major bug happening inside my wallet! Whenever i rob someone my money goes crazy it goes down to -20k or even more then go back up to a certain amount and then stabilize at 0$ which makes me lose all my money! I reported this in game the first time but an admin just accept my assist then ended it within seconds! The second time it happened i got a reply from MajesticFudgie saying he checked about it and confirmed it happened! I don't know the reason behind this happening but all i know it only happens sometimes when im robbing someone! I have lost huge amounts of money today due to this and i hope there is a way to fix as i literally would lose all my wallet money if i don't deposit it at an atm or bank. This phenomen has only happened to me during these 2 days which i don't know if it has something related to the x2 cash event maybe. Please let me know about any progress according my case in here by replying to this bug report !
Mike kindly check into this as it seems to be something complicated!
And i will try my best to record the situation! I believe MajesticFudgie has the necessary informations as we were speaking in game about the issue!
Thank you!
money goes crazy inside my wallet
I’ve been here quite a while and have never heard of anyone saying they LOSE money when robbing another player..
So that our staff can recreate this can you give any clues to what you’re doing when it happens, your packet loss and ping might be beneficial… anything so that we can recreate this would be great.

Technical:
Your money is shown in your game, and the server knows what it is, but doesn't use it. The server stores your wallet money in its own memory. The server doesn't trust what the player's game reports is in their wallet because of cheating.
One issue with this is if you have a client-side expense (casino, vending machine, pay 'n' spray, modshop), it lowers your game's cash and the server needs to update its value to match, so that you don't get those things for free. To do this, the server checks every few (5?) seconds if your game's cash is lower than what the server thinks you have. If it is, it adjusts accordingly. To compensate for lag, there's a small grace period (2 seconds?) in which it won't check. But in your case it was quite a while after.
Are you losing money that you obtain from anything else, such as missions, store/bank robberies, selling vehicles etc. or is it just robbing players? Please test extensively with different methods of obtaining cash.
Once you've given me more info I may log into your account to try it for myself, see if it's tied to your account somehow as nobody else has reported this issue.
Keep track of how much you've lost, and I'll check my end and we'll see if it matches. I should be able to easily find all your 'client cash corrections' and refund them, including ones that were legit however consider that a reward for helping to investigate.

Hello mike,
So technically this issue only happens sometimes when
r i rob someone as far as i have seen. Not everytime i robbed someone anyway. Yesterday it happened with me twice, once at the morning which i reported but an admin didnt even bother to care abt it and assisted me by saying :you were robbed? And ended the whole discussion. But anyway it is not only the robbery money that i lose but everything i have in my wallet. The first time it happened i had some money from fishing and other robberies which i lost all and it only left me with 4k. The second time, it happened around 11pm GMT+2 when i robbed someone at the hospital. I reported it instantly and was assisted in pms by MajesticFudgie that confirmed it happened and told me it would he desync. I will be working on trying to record this in few hours when i come back from work.
And anyway for the amount i lost as i remember first time i had a little less than 20k then i robbed 8k which gave me 16k and the whole thing happened. The second time, i probably had an amount of 30k plus a little maybe then robbed someone too and lost it all.
Thank you.

Just popping this here for my own reference
Seems like something happened and all the cash you were given into your wallet on got added on the server's side and not your game..
I'll refund you now, and I'm going to do some testing including logging into your account. I'll let you know your new PW in PM later.
EDIT:
Seems someone else has the same problem but hasn't noticed/reported:
Interesting that it's robbery related too....

anthony_ishak I will PM you with instructions on what I need you to do to help me fix this. I have refunded you the lost cash plus a bit extra.
Hello Mike ,
I have went online for a while and did like 20 robberies while trying to recreate this bug while recording and using /debugtd . Till now the issue hasn't showed up yet and my robbery money are going directly into my wallet! Anyway, whenever you go in game , let me know by texting me here on in discord so i can go online and test it out with you! It would go faster if you can something with my robbery cooldown while testing it out! Let me know whenever you have some free time !
Anyway , about the other person , did it help you figure out anything helpful about this issue ?
Mike
Thank you!
