Is there a problem with the display of platforms for each speedrun? I've reviewed several posts since yesterday, and none of them show the platform, even when emulated; only the EMU text.
Is there a problem with the site?
TLDR: this is a SRC bug, so just wait a bit and hopefully it gets fixed. As there's nothing game mods can do to fix it rn
Site staff used to not be able to create or update platforms.
Ever since the site redesign, the platform list has been hard coded. Meaning site staff couldn't add or remove platforms without the developers editing the code to do it for them.
There was a massive JSON string in SRC's code that had a list of all of these platforms.
With this new update, the site's admin panel has been changed to allow for site staff to add, remove, and edit platforms. Because of this, they have removed the massive JSON object.
On a run's page, it seems like they forgot they removed this and are still trying to find the platform name from there. But of course there's nothing to find so it's blank. This seems to be the issue and has a simple fix.
I've pinged site staff about this on Discord and Meta has reacted with a thumbs up, so they are aware of the issue.
