ChileWell overall PC is the more popular speedrunning platform, there's no big reason the switch is not common in the leaderboards. That said, it IS slower than the other versions because of loading screens, but the mods allowed manually timing them and removing them for the loadless time, making it even with other consoles. On PC that's automatic using LiveSplit so it's more convenient to run the game there.
There are no huge glitches required to run the game as far as we know. The only big glitch is the ramps randomly not giving you full height and making you die lmao, the ultimate anti strat. They are still broken to this day, but at least they are only relevant on the pirate world at the start of the run. Just watch top runs to learn good movement and tricks.
And yeaaa there haven't been active runners in a while but I enjoyed my time with this game so i will most likely answer any questions for any category (except maybe 100% since i only did 1 run and barely practiced it).
Don't use that autosplitter, use the one in the edit splits menu, make sure to remove the one you manually downloaded.
That said, yeah you need a launch command, you can set it up in the steam properties like this:
Is that a suggestion? You should submit that to speedrun.com as its own game instead, this leaderboard is for the normal game.
WHAT, when this that get turned off lmao
Aaaaand it's updated now, if you enable the "-livesplit" launch option it will enable for livesplit:
- Game Time comparison
- IL Mode (in the autosplitter settings)
- NG+ Mode (in the autosplitter settings)
Contact me if you notice any glitch with the timer.
Hey, I'm the one who asked for that to be added to the game actually, I never expected that to be part of the patch notes with so much detail since nobody will understand what it means but me lol, but anyway...
With this update I can implement into the autosplitter an update to read the stuff that's in the update easily, which will mainly be used to read the IGT directly from the game and use it in the "Game Time" comparison inside LiveSplit, and also will improve the accuracy of the final split for full game when completing CTOP. I can also eventually make an IL mode now that splits in rooms and reads the level IGT instead of the file IGT.
Autosplitter update releasing soon tm...
https://github.com/univrsal/input-overlay/wiki/Installation it's supposed to be used with this
Controller can be weird like that, a way to make it always work is using the steam controller config to press a keyboard key that's set to split.
That said, why are you splitting manually? There is an autosplitter in the "edit splits" menu, and I also made one with more custom options for ILs in case you are interested.
That's exactly what splicing means yes, even if it's the same run. For the leaderboards you are supposed to do the entire run nonstop from start to finish.
The splits and the autosplitter are different things, you can enable it in the "edit splits" menu of livesplit as long as the game name is correct.
that happens when you die to the boss and enter the level again, you sure it wasn't just that?
There could be good reasons to add NMG/Lagless to other leaderboards but those reasons are not it, that's like saying that the leaderboard is unfair to people that don't want to sprint in runs because they don't like watching hat kid sprinting. It's your choice to do a strat or not.
That said, the main reason there's not NMG in ATP is because there is no interest in it, there's no point in adding a leaderboard if only 1 person is gonna be there. If you really want to do NMG strats in ATP you can try to beat my base ATP run that I did for the memes some time ago:
Not sure what guide you're referring to, but i just tested it and op is right, the original way of downloading depots with the steam console is working again, no external programs needed. The downpatch guide i could find here recommends the beta tab (it only has 2 patches) or using a external downpatcher / depot downloader, they aren't needed anymore.
Alright hopefully it's fixed now 😅 Tell me if it still has issues (besides auto splitting)
That's probably just me trying to push the update in a hurry without a lot of testing lol, I'll see if I can fix it later today.
Alright I got the IGT working but you'll have to split manually, but hey, knowing your pace is the real important part. Just message me if you see any other issue.
Hello I am the dev of the autosplitter, yeah when the game updates it breaks and I haven't had a lot of time lately to fix it. With the way I do it, it takes some time to "find" the stuff I use to make the autosplitter work. You can expect the IGT at least to be working again in the upcoming days, auto splits might be harder to fix.
