Leaderboards - How to retrieve IDs for top players?

I’ve gotten my game to read Steam Leaderboard values! Hooray!

HOWEVER! I can only read for a specific list of User IDs. I need it to read for the top players - not a specified list of IDs I give it…

Does anyone know how to say “Hey give me the top 20 players of the leaderboard?” - or “Get the top players for this stat?”
I looked through all of the C++ document definitions for ReadLeaderboards, etc, and it appears as though you HAVE to give it specific IDs to look for. What’s the point of leaderboards if I can’t show the top players? :frowning:

I can also ReadleaderboardsForFriends, but that’s pretty pointless - I need a global leaderboard…

Currently it is not possible. While Steam supports requesting arbitrary leaderboard positions, the OnlineSubSystem Interface does not, so this functionality is currently not exposed.

This could be something added in the future, or you can add it yourself, and contribute it back through a Pull Request on GitHub.

Well that’s incredibly disappointing and makes the entire current implementation of the online subsystems leaderboards pretty pointless…

Thanks for the reply, though! At least I have my answer…time to try using the build system to link in Steam’s implementation…

This is from 2016. Somebody knows what is the actual status on this?
