id be interested in a glitchless category to see how far the game can be optimized without glitches

seems like the audio is slightly desynced but its not super major so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

sorry for loud audio, forgor i ramped up the roblox audio for some reason

agreed

lol mb ill resubmit when i can find the right video file

Also in regards to the current WR run for Black Friday nightmare solo, the runner uses a glitch that has since been patched (tech store door can no longer be passed through before Jade has given the tech store as an objective). While my closest run is still far enough away where it likely would not have made much of a difference, it still saves a few seconds, and most importantly, allows for the trip mine to be placed on the safe earlier than now. Not sure if this is enough to send the run into "Old Versions," but I feel like it should be called out. Edit: submitted a run that beat the old WR anyway so doesn't really matter anymore

While doing some Black Friday solo runs, I noticed something strange regarding the AI teammates. If they are present during the run, then the alarm will sound instantly, since the armed AI teammates will spawn at the door of the mall. However, without AI, the alarm does not instantly go off, and the player must pass near the door in order for the alarm to sound. While this seems insignificant at first, I also found that without AI, it takes longer for Jade to give the first objective (about 3 seconds longer than if there are AI; first objective w/ AI is given at around 19 seconds, whereas without AI the first objective is given at around 22-23 seconds, which coincides with how long it takes to run to the door to sound the alarm if no AI teammates are present). If I were to do the run without AI, would the extra 3-4 seconds of wait be subtracted from my total, or would I just have to play with AI in order to get a better time?

by "no closet challenge" you mean "impossible" right edit: on second thought thats redundant

I feel like it's difficult for me to respond here but I will anyway since my run was with r3d. I understand where both Saveed and r3d are coming from, with Saveed being concerned about exploiters and r3d being concerned about performance issues. It's also tough to compromise; not recording POVs could definitely help people on lower-end devices but could also be abused by exploiters. In other games I have submitted speedruns for in the past (Notoriety), they didn't require all POVs, but its also a lot easier to catch someone cheating and client sided exploits are almost useless or are extremely obvious. I'll admit that I originally didn't want to do the speedrun and had no prior experience with the game (clearly visible with the fact I hadn't ever gotten past round 50 or gone past the eyes), but r3d said he needed a cameraman because he has a lower performing machine, so I (somewhat grudgingly) stepped forward. Now seeing that all POVs are required, but for good reason, it makes it kinda hard to voice my opinion on whether or not all POVs should be required. TL;DR: recording causes performance drops (even for me I noticed slightly worse performance) but I can also understand why all POVs would be wanted.

I don't think current Blood Money runs will change, as the new secret puzzle only gives a new secret ending and is not mandatory for completing the heist normally. If anything else changed that would impact runs (i.e. centrifuge taking more or less time to process samples or the elevator being faster or slower) then the current runs would be moved to old. Take this with a grain of salt, I'm not a moderator so idk ¯_(ツ)_/¯
