Hi everyone! We have been hard at work all day implementing all of the changes and new categories and the update is finally complete! Below is a summary of everything that was changed:
New Requirement Added to Show Game Version in Recordings
Due to downpatching being accesible we have added a requirement to show which version you are playing on by opening the pause menu. You can do this while you are choosing equipment by opening the social menu ("O" by default usually).
The requirement will be waived for runs done before the update, and runs done after will receive a warning for the first submission.
No Major Glitches 100% added to CE and Main Board
The name was changed to better reflect the purpose of the category (banning intentional major glitches, as well as certain downpatch mechanics). It was renamed from Glitchless to reduce ambiguity because what is and isn't a glitch is often a grey area, especially in a game as buggy as Helldivers 2.
A version was added for Operation runs, All Factions, and the ILs.
You may dual submit older runs there so long as they meet the requirements about glitches and downpatch mechanics.
Un-Scouted 100% (and NMG version) added to CE
Following the previous poll we decided to add this since it seemed that there was some interest in it despite it being contentious. We were redesigning the boards anyway, so it was easy to add as an additional change. It has the same requirements for un-scouted proof as the full game runs. The only difference is the category is for individual levels, and is diff 10 only due to being present only on CE.
Difficulties Reorganized
The new system of a global Max Difficulty and Min Difficulty variable has solved the old issue where difficulties appeared to be grouped together for ranking in the level view. Diff 9 runs were moved to Legacy, and orphaned middle difficulty runs were moved to a new "Any Difficulty" Legacy category.
The mod team continues our fight against the limitations of SRC site software and we hope this new view is much less misleading!
Default View Changed
Levels are now the default view for the main board as well as CE, since it is the main form of speedrunning Helldivers 2. In addition, 100% was made the default to reflect the fact that it is the main category for most of the community. For the full game runs, Operation 100% is now the default category for viewing purposes.
