Awesome! Now I have to get the game, never played the second one but always wanted too. Plus I'm very happy about BBA users being able to participate in it. Can't wait for the Sonic Adventure site to be BBA compatible also. Just bought the game to try this feature out :lol:

Fixed a bug where if you upload new scores it should properly update scores (Where applicable) instead of inserting new records.

Added more bug fixes:

- Added more country flag icons. (Let me know if your country flag is missing on leaderboards and I'll add it)
- Fixed Sorting issues on some rankings, times show correct ascending order.
- Fixed DLC Leaderboard not removing old records when uploading.

How do we prevent people from being duplicitous little shits and slapping unreasonable figures into the leaderboards?

Yeah I was a bit suspicious of some of those very high scores myself. I'm certainly not an expert so I have no idea if that's a realistically achievable score without cheats.

I'll say this, for any suspicious scores you guys see across any of the dreampipe sites.. Simply PM me and I'll investigate the uploaded file, I may drop those records that seem unachievable. For anyone out there cheating to get the best score, please don't ruin the fun for everyone else...

As an additional note... they apparently had this problem back in the day as well. The site does say

"Please note that record that cannot be acquired during normal play, and records that cannot be checked using REPLAY data, will be deleted.

If you have a crazy high score you're going to upload, I may require a replay file to be uploaded under "Replays" section to verify its authenticity.

How sad must one be to cheat on something like this and in this day and age. Surely it must require a bit of effort to modify the files being uploaded too.
