Good find, you should turn this thread into a "found skips" one, so that people have a place to look for :)
Enjoyed the last boarding one, definitely showcase more skips found, I would love to run this game again but currently have no time, good job and happy running!
Anyone have tools to see colliders or just to noclip? So that I can look around for potential more bugs.
From what I can understand, only some parts of AREA 51 are faster, but not due to language, but regional censorship, as far as I know, EU version should be slightly faster due to its censorship.
59 FPS should be fine for jumping.
Nvidia control panel > Max Frames > 59 FPS or less Riva Tuner > Cap to 59 FPS FRAPS > Cap to 59 FPS or Toggle on and off
I'm not entirely sure yet if lower FPS makes you jump higher, I haven't had the time to do tests as of late.
Also, just for an FYI, if you need to reach me, the fastest way is on discord. You can send a request and ask any questions you need. Surely the fastest way to reach me.
Most in-game rendered cutscenes are not removable, but removing the ones in "MOVIES" should save you some extra time. Sorry for the late reply, been busy. I'm also working on giving a functional 100% save for anyone who wants to do the ILs or just fool around finding new exploits.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Midway Home Entertainment\AREA-51 removing the MOVIE folder is fine.
What do you guys think of removing cut-scenes from the game, as this is a possibility?
If you find something interesting, you're free to suggest it in this post. With a completed run.
Sorry haven't been to active, Wined3d is safe and a false positive, there's also an alternative on the wiki for Area51. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Area_51_(2005) You can find all the info here.
Use https://fdossena.com/?p=wined3d/index.frag It should have a forum stating which wine to use, if I remember it's DirectX 9.
If it's a toggled FPS with a shown FPS counter, I wouldn't see why not, we only have single segment which is basically any%
If you do make a run for it, upload it and I'll watch it, so more players can do stuff. Was away for a bit.
I've verified a few runs, but we're heavily backed up. Some changes will be coming soon :)
Sorry was away, yes the patch itself does not include the game ^^ you do need to have the game to be able to play. And happy you got it running!
Mods will retime for you, there's a tutorial in guides, also livesplit is good for general time. :)
I would like to request to be mod or supermod for AREA 51. https://www.speedrun.com/area51 the supermod has been offline for 4 weeks and has no way to contact. Thank you for your time.
