GermanyMy 12-year-old self would have never imagined this as an escape strat. Reputation to knock out the orange key guard, using the key to get flimsy cutters, then pray for a couple duct tape and files. That's a level of RNG I don't want to calculate. Great job! Might get into speedrunning again, been a while since I had the motivation.
no, difficulty decreasers are strictly prohibited
Although I agree with you 100%, I still think it'd be easier if you guys had a "time without loads" column, to make things fair, because not everyone has a heavenly NASA-level super computer.
Either way, if you don't do your run legitimate, it'll most likely be denied. Unless you made your illegitimate run so smooth with no issues.
That's why we have people who know how to identify an illegitimate run. With action replays and TASes considered to be illegitimate speedruns (which they are), they can identify whether it's done by a computer or done by a human who messed with the game using a hex editor if they're using an emulator. For an example of how a GTA runner changed the games' code to change his vehicles' speed, see here: ).
@JustAnotherCatMeme you can use your phone and stream it on Twitch or some other streaming platform. you dont need to waste storage on 1 - 2 hour speedruns.
To show you what I mean (to prevent confusion) I made some screenshots of what I mean. They can be viewed here:
I have Metro Kingdom on the split name and on the bottom of my subsplits, and I don't know how to get rid of the bottom...
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance! Regards, ~jakanz
I am TASing the PAL version of the game. Thanks for letting me know!
I've been making a TAS for a while now until I came upon a problem; I kept running into the spiny egg whenever I was following Kosmicd12's tutorial from here:
Even when I land on the second step on the stairs and do a full jump, I run into the spiny egg.
Can someone please assist me? Thanks in advance! ~jakanz
UPDATE: This forum is obsolete. If you would like to join the Discord, click 'Discord' at the left of your screen, and the button will lead you to a Discord server, a.k.a. the official Discord for the runners to discuss what they like about the game, or just anything in general.

The reason this shouldn't be on every level is because a compilation isn't a run, it's a compilation. What you could do is crop the video into it's own, and submit it into the leaderboards. Won't be WR, but at least a start.

There's actually a category for this, and it's called 'Mobile.'
You can see it at the very right of the leaderboards if you check the home page. (speedrun.com/The_Escapists)

I don't believe it would be faster because as soon as the computer gets a signal to click, or in this case, touch the screen, it would take the same amount of time. Even if it was allowed, it would all depend on your reflexes to touch the screen as fast as you could. To test it, it would depend if you're fast enough to match or beat the WR for the category.
I have a touchscreen monitor, and it works well, but I barely use it. I would test it, but I think I already debunked the theory of this method being faster.

I don't believe this should be a category, and here's why.
Simply missing rollcall takes the same amount of time in any prison in the game, and if everyone did it, the times would get hogged in ties for 1st place. Unless there is a faster strategy that is faster than missing rollcall, the category shall be an idea for now.
Remember: just an idea for now. We should let this forum post remain for there might be a strategy that's faster than skipping rollcall that we haven't found yet.

I'm trying to speedrun Banned%, when the penguin already has an email from 10MinuteMail, GetNada, or any other temporary email service provider, I get a message saying... well you already can tell by the title. Making a gmail or an outlook acc seems to slow. Is there another option to get this to work?
didn't know it was in category extensions. sorry for wasting your time :/
