Bug reports

Hi, I recently experienced an early timeout during today’s (2026-06-08) daily challenge https://www.geoguessr.com/game/yIQa04XsKlfKuwRb/replay (1min49 timeout on the first round) This seemed to occur after a major lag when loading a panorama. Note that I have an excellent network bandwidth, but my computer sometimes struggles to decode multiple images at once. Apparently I‘m not the first person to have encountered the issue, e.g. https://www.geoguessr.com/community/bug-reports/p/timed-out-after-39-sec-on-1st-round but other threads were closed without a fix. I suspect the issue might be related to anti-cheating measures to prevent tampering with timekeeping (since such lags may cause inconsistencies in browser-side time-related functions), but the current behavior of defaulting to an automatic timeout is detrimental to users with average specs. If my hunch about anti-cheating is correct, there should be no such false positives. Browser: Firefox 151.0.3 Thank you in advance.

I'm playing on a macbook pro with a touchpad. When I try to zoom in or out of the map, I have to make a lot of movements, I don't have time to set the target exactly.

To reproduce: Create challenge link Send the challenge link to friends and wait for them to play Go to the results page ( https://www.geoguessr.com/results/{challenge_id} ) In this example i generated this challenge : https://www.geoguessr.com/challenge/EpZv0lIl2IKv2R1k I did not play it but I am able to go to the results page. I am also able to watch replays if people send me the link.

THIS IS NOT DUELS! PLEASE DON'T MERGE THIS INTO ANOTHER BUG REPORT ABOUT DUELS! AGAIN, THIS IS NOT ABOUT DUELS! See this replay: https://www.geoguessr.com/game/Cwa7uHKXipKxv1cC/replay Rounds 2-5 don't load the correct round. For round 2, the same round as round 1 is loaded. For round 3, the location for round 2 is loaded. And so on. I don't see this problem in most other challenge replays. Since I know that the map used for this challenge does not pano ID the majority of the locations, one hypothesis is that the round doesn't load correctly because the replay function doesn't handle this case properly. Note, this is not about duels! I have had two bug reports about this merged into an unrelated bug report about duels replays. Did I say it's not about duels?

Hello, can you explain me please how it is possible to do this challenge in 9 seconds? It looks like someone is cheating. Please check all the Leaderboards, there are a lot of incredible wins. Kind regards Holger Jacobi

Hi GeoGuessr team, I was playing around with the network requests in my browser's dev tools while playing a game, and stumbled across something that seems like it probably shouldn't be there. When a round is submitted via the /api/v3/games/{token} endpoint, the API response includes the exact latitude and longitude of the round's location in the rounds array. I had a look and realised this means you could just read those coordinates and submit them straight back as your guess - getting 5,000 points every round without actually guessing. I tested it on my own account and it works across all game modes. It also affects leaderboards and XP since the whole thing can be scripted and runs in seconds. I noticed my score appeared on the NMPZ leaderboard with a 0-second time, which is what made me think I should flag it. I have tested and it is possible to loop these games and play 100's of 25K games in a matter of seconds. I thought it probably wasn't a good idea to put the script here on a public forum but if you reach out I can break it down. If it is possible to revert my 0 seconds game from the NMPZ Community World leaderboard so it's fair again that would also be good. This may well be a known thing already but if not I hope this was valuable. Thanks, Thomas

I have a ton of games in a row where it didn't load on my end, but I can then see in my activities that the game went ahead and I've obviously then lost the games and my ELO. Can you help me restore my ELO? https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/69e4e5f13c4a11e22f292b30/summary https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/69e4e6a42a29f3585f292746/summary https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/69e4e7512a29f3585f292a54/summary https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/69e4e7d6693cfd3951684c87/summary https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/69e4e8c12a29f3585f293106/summary https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/69e4e9ac2a29f3585f293551/summary https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/69e4ea5c724373f9622968d9/summary https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/69e4eb563c4a11e22f294556/summary https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/69e4ede03c4a11e22f295177/summary https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/69e4eed03c4a11e22f2955c6/summary This is the match where I realized someone was wrong after I managed to rejoin half way through: https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/69e4ef482a6059a1e13cad17/summary

I left the duels page open, when I came back 9 games had been played without me being behind the laptop?? Of course all lost, how do I get my elo back?

I have done 3 rounds of 5 maps and each round was the same 5 maps in different orders. Tried a 4th for fun and of course it was the same as well

I was going for my last card on Zurich when I got a bugged turbo round that wouldn't load map or timer, then I cleared all browser info, re logged, and currently am getting turbo round over and over but they are working turbo rounds now lol
