question

To be clear, the version of a statistic is only updated on the reset interval or when you explicitly version it via the Game Manager or API call. Setting the statistic for a player does not change the version. When setting a statistic, you can leave the Version parameter out of the call if you want to write to the current version. The only time you would set it is if you want to make sure you're writing to the version that was active when the player started a game session or level, though if that session or level takes a long time, this could result in a failure due to the statistic no longer being write-able.
