Hi there!

First of all i want to say that this is a great game, me and my friends have alot of fun with it.

But one small thing just plain sucks about it and im guessing it can be fixed pretty easily.

The thing is this: You get to the first place if you get the same time as the previous record holder!...thats a bit insane.(*edit* playing pc version)

Please fix it...me and my friends compete alot internally and its beginning to be quite bothersome, especially on the small tracks

again, great game!

thx

I'm guessing it's so that the most recent top scores are put ahead in tie-breakers so that somebody who might happen to score a perfect run doesn't stay on top of all the other similar scores. That way, people have that much better of a chance of scoring higher on the leaderboard.

This isn't a bug or anything, in fact, I love the way it is now. So I agree with FlipTaco there

Yeah, the way that works is pretty much the only way a beginner can get the leaderboard achievements. If you equal the Basic's of Handling time of 3.51, then you get all the achievements - not to say that's easy, but it's a hellava lot easier than Inferno

Incidently what tracks are you having this problem with? I found it really rare to get the exact same time as my friend, especially more than once. Other than on the Flip tracks, but then it's always possible to get that one more flip (unless you're Norfair - I'd guess he's found them all )

This is 'By Design' and is very unlikely to be fixed .

There is nothing to be fixed in my opinion. It's the best way to handle ties.

Agreed. That way, new players with skills have better chances to climb the leaderboards. And makes you wanna improve yourself (or at least not rust), if you see people with the same time getting on top of you. That's if you're really interested of staying up there.
