I know many people have broken the records for this game lately, but it's been weeks since anything has been verified....what's going on? Is this a normal backup for a new game? Are there not enough verifiers?

I think that speedrunners are taking a brake and that it can sometimes take a long time to get a new world record

It takes a while for runs to be verified since there are so many pending runs lol. And speedrunners are running this game on and off and setting new records almost every day

"it's been weeks since anything has been verified"

That's absolutely wrong, we are verifying runs actively, it's just it takes time, and care, and also the fact we have a lot of submissions to go through.

to add onto romain, i'd like to mention that the recent runs tab can look deceptive. sometimes you might see "10 days ago" or something on there, but the actual queue has runs submitted 6 days ago, latest. the date on recent runs shows the date the run was performed, and so sometimes people submit runs they got a few days ago, which makes it look like runs were verified super late when that is not the case.

we've made a lot of progress with the queue over the weekend, and while we probably won't be completely up-to-date for a while since there are still lots of daily submissions, we should have more recent wrs soon.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad there wasn't something wrong, and that I was just missing that things were still getting verified. Thanks for explaining the details, it sounds like a very busy time! ​​​​​​​​​I now see tons ​of the new records that I was expecting. Cheers!​​​
