The runs with v-sync off are fine to submit but if you can do the word file so others know about it.
They could of stealth nerfed it , but the patch notes has not mentioned the ninja since 1.13.
If can find an old version of the game that could hopefully fix the slowdown issue. The hard runs haven't seemed to as badly affected but I have no idea why.
Might have wait for update to make game run more like pre whenever the slowdown happened (assuming version 16 ) or try to compensation for lost/gained time if its possible to get a consistent time loss compared to old runs. If worse comes to worse
Ok, I did some testing on my new computer and found that I could not get below 5:10, now hear me out when I say this. It could be possible that new updates are slowing down the game as there is a run on android on monkey meadow from a while ago that is 4:43, and its not unheard of for games to slow down over time.
Take this with pinch of salt as I could still very easily be completely wrong, also the razer just turns of bloatware on your computer and focuses processes towards the game, it did not change the time by that much.
Your game seems slower than mine does, It could had been the razer computer optimizer running in the background speeding up the game.
I honestly forget about the challenge editor even existing, I will add that to the rule list.
CoCa-Chan I chose the wrong words in the last post and apologizes for jumping to conclusions to early. At the time it looked a bit off, but after going back through and testing the timing on the boomerang instead of the trees I believe it is a legitimate run and no further actions will be taken.
I am going to add a rule for any further runs by anyone on PC to show taskbar just in case any fishy behavior, as others may cheat using method I mentioned above.
From some testing it appears the clip may be sped up or cheat engine was used (only affects client-side) to speed up the game, but I need some more time to review before removing the run.
Thanks for pointing this out TheHSbF6Leo.
