[QUOTE="DeeEff, post: 92288, member: 2188"] You - yeah, you - could you do me a favor? Break 100M on Whirlwind and tell me if you get HOF points for it. I didn't - twice. I exceeded my high score on another table between these two Whirlwind games and did get HOF points, so I surmise that the problem is related to Whirlwind and not HOF in general. Other observations, possibly related? A score > 100M registers correctly on FarSight's leaderboard, but is missing the hundred-millions place in the local high score (LHS). The 8-digit > 100M score is correctly ranked in the LHS table, but subsequent scores < 100M but higher than that 8-digit score are placed higher in the table. e.g., before I broke 100M, the local high score table looked something like this: HHR 84,122,300 DON 80,122,300 DON 75,999,050 DON 70,324,590 DON 61,200,650 after my first > 100M game, the LHS was: HHR 31,844,300 DON 27,844,300 DON 80,122,300 DON 75,999,050 DON 70,324,590 At this point, any score > 31.8M becomes #1. We all know about the HHR bug, that's not what I'm commenting about here. It's the LHS becoming completely useless for gauging progress. But that's small change compared to not getting any HOF points for a relatively good game. [/QUOTE]
