I was suspicious towards the fix at the start and not sure if it really doesn't change anything important aside from FPS. In the end it was analyzed and shouldn't have made any significant difference. Now we know that was wrong and some runners save time over other runners by doing nothing better, just having a slight speedup.

Even if the speedup would "only" be 20s in the whole run, it makes the competition less fair (my console run rn is ~18s behind WR currently so 20s matter even in a run this long). That's why i think the fairest solution would be to run the vanilla game again as it used to be done before the fix was found and also done in the majority of other PC speedrunning communities who don't even have such fixes.

If the bad port results in fps drops and timelosses on lower-end hardware that's something that is an issue that is out of our control in the community, because that's the way square enix made the port. If an external mod gives a significant advantage to some runners over others though that is something we can control by either disallowing it or restricting it. Possible solutions would be:

  • ban the fix -> everyone runs vanilla, some better, some worse, but it's the same game
  • split the leaderboards to runs done with intel/intel+fix/amd and another one with only amd+fix
  • hide runs done with amd + fix by default

Overall, no matter what the decision will be, it won't satisfy everyone and that's something we have to deal with.
