  • Created new backend system to continue to support massive amounts of Leaderboard data.
  • Improved the parts and frame specs shown in the Workbench
  • Fixed an issue with the connection between Liftoff and the Liftoff Discord channel
  • Minor bugfixes


New backend system

When we first launched the Track Builder with the Steam Workshop integration we expected to see a few custom tracks from the community every year. More than 4000 custom tracks later, we realise we had underestimated our community.

Due to the huge amounts of leaderboards (4 leaderboards per track), we are running into the limits of the number of leaderboards we can create on Steam. We've now expanded our Liftoff Pro backend system to host these leaderboards, and have migrated them from Steam to our platform. This gives us an unlimited amount of leaderboards, and the freedom to keep the monthly leaderboards for our own, new tracks and races.
