ArgentinaMaybe this video helps.
If you are using the Rebirth patch, you should download it from the "resources" tab of this page instead.
I would not ignore what Kal said if the information shown is, indeed, enough to serve as proof that the settings are correct.
Having said that, if I were a runner of this emu category, I would not hold my own runs for too long. Otherwise, with no runs on the category it may seem that there is not much interest in running it.
Taiwanese + Rebirth has better compatibility with gamepads and W10/W11 systems. Here is an in-depth tutorial to install everything:
(Links on description link to a version of Rebirth patch that won't work well for speedruns. You should get it from the "resources" section of this page instead)
There are 2 ways to set up the splits: either using autosplitter integrated with Livesplit, or use an autosplitter file from Resources page. Also autosplitter changes depending on game version (Japan/Chinese and vanilla/Rebirth)
While this is not as easy to replicate than the current strat people are using atm, this is a few seconds faster so I wanted to share it in case someone else wants to investigate a bit further, or share any other strats here.
You lose about 2.5 seconds for each change so it's a matter of doing your own math. Best case scenario getting 1 change after getting 6. With 4 changes it may be not worth (because you are not guaranteed to always improve the rng). Too lazy to do the math myself.
If the timing differences favor the gog runner then it can't just be mixed in with existing board (which a slower timer would imply)
It's also true that, being the current legal version, it would be nice maybe for those that own it to be able to submit their runs. I'm not sure if Sourcenext+Rebirth running better in some ways is enough reason to not make, at least, a separate board for it.
It all depends on if you mind wasting like 20+ seconds between the fight itself and crafting the ammo for it, compared to knife strat which is faster overall.
For runs over 44 minutes that shouldn't be an issue.
After some time I could test RE3 on Windows 10 and today it crashed. Opening the game with W7 compatibility stopped the crashing for now, idk if it's a permanent fix.
I have talked to Gemini and it looks like it's an issue with the patch on windows 10, on windows 7 it never crashes.
So today I did a Leon B run which was pb in the end, but this happened:
In the middle of the valve cutscene I realized that had the srt closed so when I went to open it, windows UAC prompt opened too and it made the game stop for a while.
Because nothing is written in the rules I just wanted some clarification about the pause thing.
Rebirth patch allows to clic outside the game whithout pausing it but it does not prevent things like what happened to me.
Yes
So there is no way to move the old times to the new section right Anyways good idea.
@Ezkimmo That's funny, because at that time I was against tools that fix the rng precisely because I thought that people could use that to cheat, or make it easier. And when I was given the patch to test, at the beginning I wasn't a big fan of that option, for the same reason. But I changed my opinion. The fixed rng of Rebirth, when it's on, has sound cues in a couple rooms (basement/before basement/hydrant before rpd is broken) so you can tell if it's being used or not. I don't know if that's enough to stop cheaters, but the thing is that it's rare to see people cheating in this game, afaik there is only 1 runner who has rejected runs because of cheating.
"So making the game something completely different and also making it the main category is completely fine with you @re_duke? Really?"
Wait wait.. no. Maybe I express myself wrong. I don't want to replace anything. Just to have it as a new category But I think the categories aren't popular by themselves, they are popular because the runners choose to run them. Again; if the runners prefer it, what's the problem with that? Still don't understand why are you so scared of it.
