Stumbled across some weird ranking on the track at https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/h1z1/pc/h1z1-most-kills-all-weapons-solo/ . In 1st place there are wildly different scores ranging from 28 to 38, 2nd place ranges from 26 to 37. There's score of 34 in 4th place along with several scores of 22.


I've come to realise it's the Version that's the difference but because the Version is not highlighted in anyway, this looks a confusing mess!

I just want to express my gratitude to whoever's working behind the scenes on this website and fixed the issue which I complained about many times where game images wouldn't always load when viewing the leaderboard page.
Now they're loading for me every time. If they don't load immediately I just move my cursor over the spots where theyre supposed to be and they load within a second or two.

Much appreciated. That was a real pet peeve of mine when navigating this website, so thank you, very much.

Yes its always been this way. No simple way to fix unless "show all versions" is eliminated.

Could the game Heavy Barrel [US** on MAME be updated to reflect changes in MAME history, please.


- 0.269: Brian Troha and The Dumping Union added clone Heavy Barrel (US, revision 3). Note: There are known PCBs with ROMs 01 & 04 that have no revision markings and at least 1 PCB was spotted with ROM labels as "MYF HEAVY BARREL 01-2" & "MYF HEAVY BARREL 04-2". Neither version is currently dumped to verify they are indeed different versions but, clearly revision 2 is missing. Known to exist a PCB with ROMs EK 01-3 & EK 04-3 ("3" stamped on label) & the EK-31 MCU was also stamped revision 3. The first version, EK 01-1 & EK 04-1 and the above mentioned revision 3 ROMs still need to be found and archived [Osso]. Changed description of clone (US) to 'Heavy Barrel (US, revision 1)'. Renamed (hbarrelu) to (hbarrelua).

These tracks appear to be the same to me?


The first one outlines specific settings in the rules, and the second one does not, however if both are for factory default, specifying those settings should not be necessary right?


Wondering if these should be combined to one track?
