Hi ncrecc, this is a bit strange. First of all, I can see your high score just fine here, with correct score details as follows:
- tape date: 2022-04-24
- platform: Windows
- version: 4.3.2.0
- country: United States of America
However, I just noticed the following difference in playing time:
- time: 00:13
- score: 00306
The score server shows the following for this level (see
https://api.artsoft.org/levels/view/28):
Code: Select all

3. LotB 306 0:14.02 2022-01-05
...
When going to
https://api.artsoft.org/scores and searching for "player_id:194 niko level_nr:002", limiting search results to "From: 2022-04-24 00:00:00" and "to: 2022-04-24 23:59:59", there are 6 results which are recorded at "2022-04-24" with different scores and playing time.
Another hint: If "platform", "version" and "country" are shown as "unknown", this means that the corresponding score data was not taken from the high score server, but from the local score file.
So, a very simple reason for this situation could be that the score entry was written to the local score file (as it is always the case), and it was already submitted to the high score server, but the new score entry was not confirmed by the high score server yet, which may indeed take some time (especially if lots of older scores are still pending for verification by the server) -- the high score server runs the R'n'D executable on each and every score tape to replay it and check if it is valid (that is, if it solves the level).
Another possible reason could be that a score tape was checked by the server as "unsolvable", which unfortunately happens every now and then when using the "quick-save tape" and "quick-load tape" feature (but not when using the "pause before end" functionality). In this case, the server will not send that score to any client, but it will still be displayed by the local client itself, which has that score in its local score file. But this is not the case here -- all your scores for this level have the status "approved". (BTW: I really should add an option to the "Settings" page of the high score server web site to also show scores that were not approved, to be able to check cases like this.)
