Renewing the speedrunning page

Hi, I'm the new moderator here and it is a total mess due to patch issues. My plan is to wipe the whole page and to start over. Does anyone have a problem with that?

TAWEC and Samyb2007 like this

Im sorry for old record holders but the page need to refresh. It's a mess rn and we can make roon for new category's.

Sweden

Fully agree, a new look would actually make me wanna run this game again

Netherlands

Yeah for sure. In that way we can maybe grow the community again. For now I've already added all the events as an individual level.

Ontario, Canada

I agree with you! I have no problem with that

Netherlands

Ok so right now you can go and speedrun this game again! Let's make it competitive :))

France

I agree and this is nice to see some activity here !

Netherlands

Okay so I've something about the single event speedruns on this page. It turns out that maybe this isn't the right place for the single event runs bc of several reasons. But the full runs are staying! :)

Netherlands

Ehm so guys the whole page just got fcked up bc of the maintenance in my house (with wifi and shit), the things in my house are fixed now, but the speedrun page is not. Category's are gone and they are all over the place. I'm so sorry, I'll fix it asap.

If you could kindly put my 100% 11 hour speedrun back, that would be nice. Or should I re-submit it?

Netherlands

re-submitting is better i think

Estonia

Good luck reviewing 11 hours of events when that happens :)

Netherlands

haha thx so now only runs from 1.22.0 - ..*?

I think you should just keep two options around. Runs submitted on current patch and runs submitted on previous patches. The Crew 2 does not allow downpatching anyway as it is always online and there is no way to play the game offline. And it is getting updated every 4 months (new patch), so no point keeping it complex. Just update the categories by moving speedruns to old patch section every 4 months.

Also, there is no point keeping categories for each specific race. Game has built-in leaderboards for each race and activity and those leaderboards are also accessible on https://www.thecrew-hub.com/leaderboards/event . Just keep categories for event bundles (disciplines, families, motorflix etc).

Netherlands

okay, but should I add rn also 1.6.0 and 1.5.1?

Estonia

Does it matter really? If it is old patch, it is old patch, all runs would be in the same package. And any new runs would be done on the latest patch anyway cause players do not have access to older patches.

For legacy reasons you should keep old patches around, so they can be checked in Livesplit settings or configured when submitting a run, but in terms of leaderboards it should not matter as all runs done on previous patches are under the same category anyway.

Keeping all the runs segregated and away from each other just causes a speedrun community split where you have to go through each patch view to see who has what time.

Estonia

But I would say Alpacachino and TAWEC should also comment here if they are fine with this setup, as I am not really speedrunning this game anymore.

I think I've fixed everything. Pls let me know if something needs to change :)

Estonia

Well... Now comes the hard part. You can see that there are recent runs and stats show that there are 85 runs total. You need to make them visible somehow, otherwise this change was counterproductive as literally everybody's hard work has been wiped from existence.

Estonia

If you click on any of the runs in "Recent runs", you get an error.
