I have already gotten a 9:54 SoB even with a +0.6 timeloss in ItA compared to the IL wr so 9:53 is probably possible. As a long time runner for this game I do not think 9:52 will be achievable unless a new godly strat is found.
As for TAS, no idea bout that yet but I think 9:52 could be possible with some inhuman tricks I know off. (Double BtB lagless for example lol)
How would adding more fps to a scene make it run faster lol
oh wow. you should join the discord server. Itll be easier to know about new discoveries and glitches. https://discord.com/invite/hBJBCKQ
Coincidentally, I am also routing an all bios PU run and is also done with everything until StD. I also have a 2:57 run of StD bios with the strat you mentioned and none of the mods have yet to tell me I can't use it so I think its fine.
Here is a list of all viable refreshes that may or may not help in routing. (because refresh is inaccurate at times so timesave must be 4+ seconds) (Recommended that if only 1 refresh in the episode, do it last)
StD JPE CCC scene last 2 bios (100% do it)
ItA PBT end scene last 4 bios (100% do it)
CtM GSPI+: (Ellie route) Fusion (22 seconds) SBO end (24 seconds from bio)
PBT+: PP/TR Last Bio (22 seconds) SSR last 4 bio (25 seconds)
RBH+: Free Man last bio (24 seconds) Capital Gains last bio (23seconds ?) (MBH route) Rewire (100% do it) MBH end (30 seconds)
RPE+: Jojo scene (100% do it)
Hi. I believe you are talking about the refresh glitch.
It was discovered a while ago but hasn't been used in real runs yet. This is because the mods have yet to decide whether they will accept the glitch into runs.
Also, if you would mention some examples of where the strat can be used that would also be helpful.
(Note: closing the game then reopening it isn't the issue, runs have been accepted where their games crashed mid-game. The problem is the glitch used.)
well actually we use a glitch called skip ahead.
the way I start the setup is to transition between episodes (ex. EtP >then press StD) and then pressing skip intro in the middle of the transition. you know the glitch has been activated when it puts you in the area of the previous episode (in this case, the EtP screen after cutscene).
From here, 1. just press menu > 2. press play on the episode you are on > 3. press the episode you wanna go to before the screen fades black.
You can also PU in EtP then click on cellphone before doing this glitch so that you can skip steps 2. and 3. from what I just mentioned and just go directly to the area you want to activate it. You gotta wait for the cellphone cutscene to play through though.
(There is also a setup made by Oreo but idk how to do that one.)
Watched your 100% run and saw the problem. You gotta get all endings and fails on every game and then quit to menu and only then will it be unlocked. No need for bios as well.
So if you got your last ending or fail at CtM, make sure to click menu then go to the CCC area.
yeah theres a discord server, just check on the left hand side. It should be below resources. Or just click this link: https://discord.com/invite/hBJBCKQ
For your runs, just be patient. Mods are most likely busy and cant verify it at this time.
thats gonna be hard since your doing map boosting and you couldve mapped too early which could be cheating . But unless your not gonna do any glitches, then sure.
MacNChees yeah my run was rejected cause of the black screen but now base on jkr's run my run should be verified instead so im waiting for response by mipha
what counts as a softlock and a crash? since my run was rejected cause it was stuck on a black screen the same thing for jkr where his run was stuck on a white screen yet was verified
