In that case, I'm leaning towards the NOT allowed because it sounds an awful lot like something that's supposed to be a part of the run, thefore you should start your runs from "New Game" for any%. If it requires some sort of in-game "setup" beforehand, it would almost be considered NewGame+.
Regarding the FPS I'm inclined to agree, as the game does not hinder you from progressing at whatever FPS you are playing on in any capacity and merely affects the physics engine, you should set it only once before your run and refrain from switching it on the fly. Years ago, during my attempts, I was also contemplating having a mandatory rule for this exact situation in some form of an FPS counter, be it in-game using a console command "stat fps" (IIRC) or using an external program to both limit and show the FPS on the video but this is a very, very niche community and I long stopped running the game before I managed to get to it.
Hi Kelnin,
first point, I'm not sure I quite understand the scenario. If you skip the dialogue in the first mission and the game gets glitched, how is restarting the mission going to help? Will you not need to skip the dialogue again?
second point, prop flying is allowed and you are welcome to use any frame limitation software you prefer. IIRC I simply modified an nVidia game profile the game uses.
P.S. My PB seems to be copyright blocked from YouTube. I'm not sure if it has any strats that you might find useful but I'm going to reupload it today.
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I didn't get any sort of popup to indicate a new forum post.
I will add individual levels later today.
Hi,
I've already made an autosplitter and shared it with Robotic. https://pastebin.com/eby22TLU
It's not perfect and probably never will be, but feel free to edit it as you see fit.
I played a few levels on the newest patch and didn't notice much difference to be honest. There seems to be a tiny delay after you skip the objectives before you get the end mission screen. The one positive thing which I'm not yet sure about is that flying seems easier to control.
You're right, I remember reading some patch notes that they updated the AI and paths of NPCs. Is it really that different from no patch though?
If the glitches work in the newest patch and Tara isn't dumb anymore I see no reason to run the old version.
