New Changes

Leaderboard Change

• NTSC and PAL have been separated on the leaderboard due to fps differences which give an unfair advantage to PAL players. The difference after all the math is PAL being around 5 minutes faster on the full game Story than NTSC since it runs at 25 fps instead of NTSC which runs at 30 fps. And over the course of 2 hours, those frames add up to a lot of time save. Be sure to pick the proper Region for the subcategory and console region at the bottom of the submission. Failure to input the region or match the region will result in a rejected run.

New Game Rules

• All runs submitted need video evidence. Any runs submitted without a video will be rejected.
• All audio must be clearly audible to mitigate cheating.
• The video for the submitted run should only show what is necessary for the submitted run. Any compilation videos or streams will be rejected as it makes it extremely difficult to moderate them in an efficient way. There may be exceptions but this will not be the rule. If you are unsure if you are submitting a video properly, ask in the Discord server or DM a moderator
• The submitted video needs to be either a YouTube video or a Twitch highlight. Any streams from Twitch submitted that are not highlighted will be rejected as the video may be lost. YouTube videos are preferred but not required (its easier for retiming).

Full Game Rule Additions

• All run videos must show from console startup until passing the finish on the last race of Motegi Super Speedway in Chapter 14. This is so all game changes can be seen and nothing is altered before the run starts. If the video you submit does not show what is stated above then your run will be rejected.
• All runs must have the console/emulator reset before the run begins. This is to clear the game save data even if a run was previously ran like the game difficulty or car setting changes. If this is not seen in the submitted run then that run is invalid.
• All new runs must be running on a new game save. This can either be from a clear memory card with no previous R:RE game saves, no memory card or picking New Game from the screen that says Enter the World of R with the options of New Game or Load Game. One of these three ways must be shown in the recording of the run. Any runs that do not show one of these three ways will be an invalid run.
• If a run needs to have previous save data that will be stated in the rules of that category. This does not pertain to Story or All Stories.
• You may not change Cars, Transmission type, Difficulty, Brake Assist, or Settings as any of these could give an unfair advantage to your run over other runners. Any run with any of these settings changed beforehand will be invalid.

IL Rule Change

• Time starts the frame before the milliseconds on the timer start moving. Time stops the frame the timer stops which should be the frame before the F in Finish appears. This may result in most previous runs needing a retime. If this confuses you please ask a Moderator.
• Runs submitted should show clicking on the event challenge number and the menus before and after to help with verifying the run. This time is not added to the final time, just for moderation purposes.

If you have any questions or would like to add a rule that you think is important, let us know in the R: Racing Evolution Discord Server: https://discord.gg/6C2dAGHHZj

DISCLAMER!!!

It may take a bit to get the rules changed for all categories and I may miss some. Please let us know if something looks wrong or incomplete.

Hope to see you all there soon!

Hello, I am Pat and now new mod of this leaderboard, I am excited to implement changes for the better of the leaderboard and community. I will get to verifying runs when I'm free, please be patient, it might take a bit for me to see it. If you have any ideas or issues please contact me, join my discord server or make a post on the forum.

IL changes- I have made the leaderboard for individual levels (IL) way more digestible, there is a tab that shows the type of car you race in on each level, it will by default show GT Class 1 as it needs a default, so do not be alarmed if you can't see your run immediately looking at the IL leaderboard. To see your run, click on the level you raced in and select the car type in the tab to see your run.

Full Game Category Changes- I have changed the full game category from 'Story Mode (Racing Life)' to Any%. I have also added a 100% category for completing the full game. For Full Game Leaderboards I have been able to separate out emulator and console runs while keeping the runners placing in tact. You will now see a tab that says console or emu, I can add the separate consoles (xbox, ps2, gamecube) in the future but for now I will leave it like this as there is only one console runner.

Cosmetic Changes- I have changed the default view to full game as most games have that implemented. I have changed the all the theme colors from default to colors that relate to the game's color pallet. I also updated the background image and game icon. I am working on the place trophy images, I have first and second place finished at the moment.

Future Changes- I will update the rules in the upcoming days. I also plan on putting up splits so it is easier to get into runs without having to worry about making splits. I also plan on possibly making a live splitter so you don't have to worry about splits and can focus on the game and your runs. I plan on making a role and category on my discord server dedicated to this game as to keep the forums clean for pressing issues or new finds. Also plan on making at least 1 guide to explain some things about this game. I would like to make it easy to get into speedrunning this game for new runners so they won't be overwhelmed.

I hope this has explained some recent changes you might have seen. I think I covered all or most of the changes I have implemented and I'm sure there will be more in the future. Again if you have any ideas, comments or issues, contact me, post on my discord server or make a forum post here and I will answer you when I see it.

Your New Mod, PatTheSeaMilk
