A recent update was made to the rules regarding the use of the Community Edition (CE) of Goldeneye XBLA which adds some bug fixes and other modifications.

The mod team decided that the Community Edition (CE) is now permitted for speedruns as some people have said that it is the only version which allows certain levels to run well.

However, we recommend that you do not use the CE unless absolutely necessary as we still do not know what the impact of it is on different aspects of the game.

Examples of such impacts may include: altered guard/enemy pathing or animations, lower health on enemies/NPCs/objects, faster doors, faster objectives or objective skips of any kind, geometry differences, differences in loading of walls/doors/objects/items. If any differences are found at a later date then we reserve the right to remove CE runs if it is clear that your run benefitted from one of these differences.

A new variable called 'CE' has been added so that you can indicate if you are using the CE for the run or not (the default is not).

Edit: The current change log for the CE as of June 2022 is posted here.
