You can easily drop down to the gate and trigger the checkpoint, then insta reload checkpoint and be placed behind the gate ready for the next skip, still testing it out and all that, getting a constant 90% OOB.

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. :)
