Fortnite Festival Score-tracking is now live!

It's hard to believe nearly a decade has passed since my previous Rock Band 4 launch announcement.

With Harmonix and Rhythm Authors ending one era and moving on to another, Fortnite Festival has launched in December currently featuring gamepad-based gameplay for Lead, Drums, Vocals and Bass, and ScoreHero score-tracking is now available. As new songs (aka "Jam Tracks") become available to the platform, they'll be added for score-tracking.

Score-tracking will group the songs into tiers based on difficulty rating of each part, and the tiers will continually grow larger as new songs are added.

Overdrive exists similarly to Rock Band, and there is now additional graded timing for your accuracy (Perfect / Good / Missed notes) which you'll be able to log on ScoreHero. You will see a little paper icon like this

next to all Festival scores which can be clicked to view the detailed stats.

I've removed platform selection (it will show as "Any") and you're free to compete with any configuration of controller or keyboard button mappings.

Multiplayer scores can be tracked as well, with a few limitations:

In the game you're able to play with multiple players on the same part, but won't be able to select duplicates on ScoreHero.
The detailed score breakdown fields (Perfect notes, Good notes, etc.) will only appear for Solo score entries.

My time is limited and new features are now difficult to implement, but I'm glad to still support and maintain the site as best I can for everyone.

Enjoy!

Thanks so much for continuing to support the site after all this time!

I did happen to notice, though, that any pictures I submit for Fortnite Festival scores seem to not save. A similar issue occurs with anything I write in the comments section for a score, although not having the pictures work is a bit more concerning in my opinion. I presume this is just a glitch, but I figured I would mention it just in case it flew under the radar.

Interesting I tested both last week and they did work, unless something changed when JC was making final changes today.
Check my fnf bass scores here, I have one with a pic attached and one with a comment (its a short comment it just says -1)
https://rockband.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=67810&game=14&platform=18&size=1&team=0&group=2&diff=4&vox=solo

Are you getting any error messages? If you try one and it doesnt seem to work, let me know what specific instrument and song so I can look and see if it shows up on this end.

And I mentioned this in the other thread, but if anyone unlocks a song via a pass or something that is not yet on sh, please post it or pm it to me with the difficulty of each part and I will add it onto sh. Festival currently does not allow you to see difficulty of songs you do not either own or have the ability to play.

Firstly, thank you for maintaining ScoreHero for all these years. It has been an invaluable resource for people in this increasingly niche corner of the internet. Adding support for the newest game in this genre, nearly two decades after the site first launched is truly admirable. I cannot express my thanks enough.

I have a few questions/concerns about the perpetual nature of ScoreHero leaderboards for a game that is using seasonal leaderboards:

1.) There were 6 charts that were modified from their original state going into season 2, those being:
Can't Feel My Face - Vocals
Go With the Flow - Drums
OG Future Remix - Drums
Stitches - Lead
Suddenly I See - Lead
Zombie - Lead

Assuming this will happen again in upcoming seasons, how will ScoreHero adapt to this?

2.) There are numerous bugs currently in the game that dramatically impact scoring potential. One is an overdrive duplication bug that allows a player to earn two phrases worth of overdrive from a single phrase. The other is a note duplication bug that double counts notes a player activates overdrive on if the player taps the buttons corresponding to the notes instead of just letting the overdrive button hit the notes for them.

The Festival team is currently investigating a fix for this, however it would appear at this time that the leaderboards will not be wiped until Season 3. Scores achieved during Season 2 using these bugs will be completely unbeatable in upcoming seasons when these bugs are fixed. What is ScoreHero's stance on submitting scores using these bugs, which can be performed completely on accident, and how will the leaderboards account for any unintended scoring glitches moving forward?

I believe I've corrected the issue with comments and images not showing up (you will need to resubmit any existing scores, however).

Let me know if there are still issues. I'll catch up further and I'll give replies to other comments later in the day.

Sincerely, thank you so much for doing this. I love playing Festival, but the fact that leaderboards in game have glitched scores, plus get wiped every season was a huge bummer.

Been using this site since 2007 (on a different account) so I'm super glad it's living on and getting revived with a brand new game!

With regard to potential bugs existing in the game I would not look to intentionally exploit them, and if we believe that's the case we'll have discretion to remove scores as always.

As situations come up with charts and/or engine behavior getting revised, we'll make decisions case-by-case on how to handle them based on the potential impact to existing scores/leaderboards.

I wouldn't expect we'd wipe or remove scores in a widespread manner unless specific cases warrant it (i.e. charts being played are no longer reasonably comparable, top scores aren't achievable, etc.), and would consider what seems appropriate in each case.

No new songs today? I thought they were adding new ones weekly.

The store refresh is usually in the evening at 7pm EST, I believe.

New songs for this week are now in the store.

Oh I heard 3pm GMT.
But now the game is down for the whole day so I have to wait until tomorrow to add the new songs.

Apologies if anyone tried to add scores today after around 6pm EST and saw it was temporarily disabled.

Some maintenance required updates, and score-tracking is functional again.

I've not yet played as I'm waiting for guitar support to drop and waiting for the new guitar to drop but getting a tracking option available is so cool.

thank you for maintaining and keeping this place alive.
