I’m in the process of updating a lot of my old maps, but publishing them through the new Creator Portal gives them a different public code half the time. It’s admittedly a little frustrating as I have some maps with quite a few players that play daily and this is preventing me from pushing the update to them. There’s no way of directing them to the new map code through a MM portal either as I can’t update the map with the code it already had. It just gives me the new one. This also causes me to have two separate analytics for the same map, different versions, on my analytics. (It also gives an option to show statistics for the private test versions, which I thought I’d also bring to light in this post. My drop list says “Private Test” many times.) The two different codes are definitely frustrating.
For example, I updated my Supreme Edit Course. 9699-6734-5912 was the code originally, but once I pushed the update through the Creator Portal, it gave it a new code, 2713-9433-5036 (screenshots attached). To clarify, the map did not update to 9699-6734-5912v8 from 9699-6734-5912v7 as expected, but instead, went to 2713-9433-5036v1. It has happened with a few more of my maps that I’ve updated as well. On the other hand, this did not happen with my Ultimate Edit Course, which continued under the same map code and updated it to a new version as expected.
Yup, I’ve had the same issues. They first appear as Unpublished for me (despite being published) and then get put onto a New Code. I have a few other maps with similar issues which I’m not touching until this gets addressed.
I am having the same issues on a lot of my older maps that I want to update. I hope there is a fix for this soon.
