Regarding stability issues, I was running the game on Windows 7 and still the game was crashing constantly, but only in the early sections (also the starting area may not load fully which looks really fun) and after the rat guts labyrinth the game gets totally stable for some reason. So if someone seriously wants to learn the speedrun then you should check how stable the game in later areas for you. As a speedrun it's pretty fun, but even I was quickly burned out by early game crashes.
I ran a non-GOG version of the game which might be the reason why the game was crashing, but not sure if GOG version lets you skip the sewer section early on, which as far as I remember just works on unpatched version only.
yes, there is a patch for russian version, but as far as I remember it's not 100% compatible and the organizers decided to work with English version only
Make sure you've followed all the required steps:
Download the script and place it in a convenient folder. Launch LiveSplit. Edit layout and add Control -> Scriptable Auto Timer. Double click on it, click Browse... and navigate to a folder where you put it. Don't forget to save your layout and to have separate layout files for every game.
I can't replicate this bug :/ What about you? I've noticed you have a new video on YT with P3, so you have probably checked this already :)
wow, never seen this video before, I can't check this right now but I will start messing around with this bug in a few days
In defense of ham's effort, very high requirements (24h) are going to kill a lot of niche marathons, especially if the games in that niche are short in general. It will also force hosts to accept more very long runs just to meet these requirements, so maybe runners count is a more appropriate value. That's my IMHO.
@Dangerless Before submitting I have read your conversation with warm_ham with the same topic, so I checked ham's twitch and it appears that ham's 1st marathon took only 7h and ham's 2nd marathon has runs submitted for around ~10h marathon, so I assume you ask for a confirmation that we're both not planning to play our games for 12h and yes - we're both not planning to submit more than 1-2h each and other 8h-16h are purely for other runners. 12h is just our guess for how little submissions we can get, since the dates are quite stiff (we are both busy after 7th july for a few months so it's our last chance for this summer and early autumn).

Marathon: Night of The Horror Speedruns Venue: Online Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/deluxerus Discord: https://discord.gg/Tja7Z8Y Date: 7 July Mods: @deluxerus , @ToxicTT This is a small (12-18h) online marathon for horror games and games with strong horror/moody atmosphere. We lack experience with hosting marathons, so this marathon is more of a test for us before aiming for something bigger (2 or more days) in that theme/style.
need to make a video with all crazy stuff I'm not doing in runs :I
it's possible to skip the first part, but you need to boost by a rock, which is more inconsistent
