I have implemented steam leaderboard in my game. Here is the question. I have 50 levels. Correct me if my steps are wrong.
To get data :
1. Find leaderboard by name (for each leaderboard) and get the SteamLeaderboard_t object (which is basically the leaderboard reference?)
2. Then download leaderboard entries from that instance and store it as LeaderboardScoresDownloaded_t object
3. Now I need to process the LeaderboardScoresDownloaded_t to get an array of LeaderboardEntry_t objects
4. Process each LeaderboardEntry_t to get my Integer value (Score)
To upload data:
1. Find the leaderboard and get the isntance.
2. Upload the score to that particular instance.
The problem I have is, since these are all async callbacks, I do not always get the data at the right time when I try to download data. The achivements and stats are very straight forward though. Am I doing something wrong with the leaderboard? Why do I always have to find the leaderboard, download leaderboard entries, get the data from the entry and then pass the data to my UI?
