When updating stats on a Steam leaderboard, the only option currently available is to add the new value to the old value.

When trying to update a Steam leaderboard, the source code currently adds the new value to the old value instead of replacing the old value with the new value. This works fine for something like a Total Time Played stat, but does not work when trying to update a high score list where the new score needs to replace the old score.

1. Open the OnlineLeaderboardInterfaceSteam.cpp file.
2. Go to line 293 and 304.
   • bSuccess = SteamUserStatsPtr->SetStat(TCHAR_TO_UTF8(*StatName), OldValue + Value) ? true : false;

RESULT:
The code sets the stat value by adding the old and new values together.

EXPECTED:
The code sets the stat value differently, depending on what is being updated.
