Rule Update: All versions are now allowed
4 years ago
New Zealand

The latest series of updates unfortunately patched several of our glitches, and made many others much more annoying. Because of this, after much discussion with the community, we have decided to allow all old versions. Check this guide for information on how to downpatch and what changed between various versions.

The most useful version is 244371. Compared to 326589, the version we were all used to and that most runs were done on, this version reverts a few mostly insignificant map changes, but more importantly it returns an attribute we call "Instant portals". On newer versions there is about a second after each load where the transition portals won't activate even if you're moving. Additionally, there is about half a second after each load where you can't sprint, and if you start holding sprint during the load it has no effect. On versions with instant portals there is no delay before you can start transitioning, you can immediately sprint, and you can sprint out of loading screens. This saves about a second per world transition and about 1/6th of a second per load.

For now we have decided not to split leaderboards based on versions. If there is enough support for it then we may split them later.
