Maryland, USAI wasn't going to share this until I did it in a run but I don't think I will continue running this game. In chapter 3 after you go to the up to see you need the key instead of going down the stairs again you go around the top until you reach a gap. If you jump correctly then you are able to go across that gap. It will save a few seconds.
chaotic911's time of 1:22:02 w/o loads is around 1:19:47. Xerlan's (me) time of 1:22:24 w/o loads is around 1:20:06. I tried my best but it still might be slightly inaccurate. The difference between the times was actually 19 seconds instead of 22 and the run has made it to under 1:20 w/o loads, (I'm still confused though how you were 19 seconds faster, did you do anything special?)
I want to do some glitch hunting but i can't find any way to get a client where I can noclip and test walls. If anyone has one I want to do a ton of testing in chapter 3 because I feel like there's a way to get to the alpha door at the beginning earlier and to clip out during the long vault door sequence. I've already found a way to clip the camera out of bounds but if I can see what collisions look like I feel like we could lower the time by many minutes.
I have absolutely no idea if this is useful but I was able to move through the vent with my head outside of it. https://www.twitch.tv/dandan179/clip/UgliestYawningTitanResidentSleeper
Hello, I'm Xerlan and I have recently picked up Close to the Sun via Epic. I decided it would be fun the speedrun this fairly simplistic game. I did a "practice run" yesterday and got a 1:37:XX for a first run with no practice or tech. It was full of mistakes and time waste that I can fix in future runs. Since I'm new here are there any tips/tech I should know for running in the future.
