Changes to how we refresh stats

The devs shipped an update the other day that broke a piece of The Bayou Ledger's logic.

How it used to work

  • We asked whichever region we were loading least at that moment.
  • The answer was (almost) always current, with no lag behind reality.
  • The region didn't matter: you'd kill someone on Europe, we'd ask Russia for your stats, and the MMR there was already updated.

What changed

A few days ago that stopped holding: stats are no longer always synced across regions, so each hunter's stats have to be requested from their own "home" region. Otherwise their stats lag by roughly half an hour, which plenty of you are already seeing.

What happens next

We're still working out how to do this properly, because we obviously have no idea which region anyone plays on. Worst case we'll add some kind of region selector and everyone sets it by hand. Which sounds pretty cringe.
