The 1.2 Update of CC added an additional glitch where there's a delay after each animation used in a battle. On the FNAFb Gamejolt Community Discord server, threedaysguy (also known as ZainCC) posted a replacement script in order to fix this issue. The question then arises, should the patch be allowed for speedruns?

Did some testing with a session of CC (v1.2.1) with and without the patch, using a test enemy that wouldn't attack solely to test the 4 FNAFB1 characters using Scream to time how long a turn might last. Observation:
- Version without patch has an animation delay after each animation.
- Version with patch instead seems to add more delay to before the animation plays, more similar to version 1.1.
Here are the times I got from timing from when the turn starts to when it ends, not counting navigating menus.
No Patch - 5.60 seconds
Patch - 7.63 seconds
Actually moreso seems that the version without the patch is faster, saving around about 2 seconds each turn from battle animations alone, again not considering menu navigation.
As for whether it should be allowed, I certainly think it should be, as long as it is specified. Personally in my opinion I don't see why you would use the patch if you're losing time to the unpatched version every turn. If you do choose to use it, then fair play to you I suppose lmao
I think that's a fair trade off. I also made sure to post the patch in the resources section, so anyone can use if it they'd like to.
I have added it so any runs using the patch can be seperated from ones that don't. Both are fair play but it's personal preference.
