below you can find information on what changes we made recently with a number of small build updates and hot-fixes, as well as a long-term plan for improving the health of our much beloved Leaderboards.
Recent Patch Changes
A number of changes and bug-fixes, including:
- Fixed the Ranks screen sometimes not displaying properly
- Fixed a bug with Hydraulics Controller when transitioning between levels
- Icon update for Grid
- Fixed a bug with Grid in Tutorial mode
- A few other minor quality of life improvements and bug fixes
Long-term planned changes to Leaderboards
We recognize that over time we have had to deal with plenty of cheats and hacked scores, we do have a shadow-ban system in place that takes care of most, but not all, situations.
To improve the health of our Leaderboards going forward, we will be implementing the following changes over the next few weeks:
- Prevent 'falling road' solutions from submitting in leaderboards
- Prevent other known exploits from submitting to leaderboards
- Remove Top 1% from all boards (this is where the majority of hacked scores live)
We realize a leaderboard purge isn't ideal, which is why we're limting it to just the top 1%. This will require top players to re-submit their scores to get their footing back on the boards, but we hope it will be useful in providing a more level playing field for everyone.
Any thoughts or comments please let us know, and thanks for playing.
