Hello, Im creating a game and would like to have an online leaderboard for my scores. I had found an amazing free plugin for this called EpicLeaderboard but it is only for 4.25 and I have already built my game in 4.26. I tried to track down the maker of this plugin to ask politely for an update but, discovered he had passed away in 2017.
R.I.P. Kodi <3
Does anyone have knowledge of another one similar in its easy implementation and maybe zero cost or some sort of method of building one? I can’t seem to find an easy to follow tutorial for what Im after. Im making the game for PC not mobile.

Thanks for your help

I would like to ask the same.
Im at 4.26 and I would like to create a scoreboard online with all points score of every player. Have checked VaREST and Epicleaderboard.
Which other options we have?
Any howto easy to follow about VaREST and Epicldrboard?
I save all personal info and scores in a savegame file

It should work in 4.26. I was using the Epic Leaderboard for a game I’m working on in UE5 and it was doing its job flawlessly in UE5 using this method to integrate it: [UE Tutorial] Free Epic Leaderboard plugin upgrade to 4.26 for prototype - YouTube

But it stopped working today. The site is still online but logging in on the site and accessing the board in-game doesn’t seem to work anymore (just my luck, I started using it yesterday). I hope that’s only temporary. But I would also be interested in alternative solutions if anybody has ideas.

The leaderboard seems to work again, at least for now. So anybody trying to integrate it into 4.26 or UE5 (I suspect 4.27 would work, too), should be able to do so with the tutorial I linked to in the post above.

It’s really strange, the site seems to work again, but everytime when I submit a score in-game, the leaderboard disappears and can’t be accessed for a while. Then it reappears without the newly submitted score.

(Sorry for the multiple posts, but I have problems with editing my posts here.)

Is it still working for you? It worked fine for me in UE5, but I keep having problems since yesterday.

Sometimes it fails to submit score :expressionless:

Thanks for checking it out! I was beginning to think it was my fault somehow since it always seemed to stop working when submitting scores… Maybe it’s just a temporary problem!

The leaderboard seems to work again! I’m getting some warnings (“incorrect text case”, “string could not be parsed”) when packaging, but it seems to work!

Sorry, it wasn’t my video, I just found it on youtube. There is at least one other video on the topic on youtube with a download for UE5.1 if you search for epic + leaderboard + UE5, but I’m spending all my UE game dev time in UE4.27 at the moment and haven’t checked the video or download so far, so I don’t want to give a direct link. Hope you can make it work soon!
