Improved Leaderboard Entries Tooltip:

Scores submitted after this update will have more in-depth data, such as: Display, Avg FPS, Pauses Counter, Duration, Date, Extra Score, Critical Rate, and Distance Travelled.

We also improved the look of such data to make it easier to read.

Arena Live Player Counter:

In the menu, near the Arena button, you'll see a new pop-up that appears when players are playing Arena, as well as when there are players in auto-join.

Other Changes:

  • Fixed a bug that caused the Friends Only checkbox to not work on leaderboards where you had no score.

  • Fixed Arena auto-join sometimes not removing players from the list and leaving "ghost" players.

  • Added new highscore bar setting "Target Score Multiplier".

  • Fixed a bug that caused Critical Rate in the end session tab to always show 0%.
