I've just noticed that game work differently on different OS, like load takes less than one second on Windows 7 while one or two seconds on Windows 10 and loads isn't consistent. I think if I could perform my Gabriella% run on Windows 7 it shall be sub30 already, but now I have Windows 10 and I have no choice. The only problem is that there's no load removal or autosplitter script as well, I'm not coder. Is there any scripts for timer for games which uses same engine? Blood II uses first version of LithTech however. Also we always can remove loads manually.

I think Shogo uses the same engine version, and it has an autosplitter, but not load removal it seems. Having loadless time would be nice, but doing it manually is definitely too much effort for a game barely anyone runs.

"" The solution for Windows 10 users is switching on SOFT RENDER in video options, which makes graphics awful, but load times as long as on Windows 7 (that worked for me at least). EDIT: consistent crash at Lafayette Museum of Antiquities. ""

So we're stuck for now...

I can take a crack at it, do you guys play the steam or gog version?

I'm using Steam version. GOG version might be the same as Steam but I'm not sure.

does anyone have saves on multiple levels? I don't actually feel like replaying this... well, messy game :D

So you need a save for each level? There's no problem for me to make it :D I'll upload saves to resources section then.

Done. https://www.speedrun.com/blood_ii_the_chosen/resources

Lol I realized pretty quickly there's a cheat on the launcher to just enable level select.

I've only tested this on the first 3 splits where it worked fine, but it'll obviously need some more testing beyond that by actual runners. I've made it so it will have load removal, automatic splitting on entering new levels, and it will automatically start once you gain control of Caleb on Cabalco Train Level (whatever it's called). It's based on the steam version, haven't tried it on GOG.

Also did not test it with the other playable character but it should be fine... Maybe? Also it does not split automatically on the ending - That still has to be done manually for now and I can try to fix it later... If I can be assed to find the right stuff for that.

Let me know how it goes! If you need help setting it up in layout settings I can help with that, and make sure you use compare against -> game time :P !

Update: It doesn't work on the other characters. Or rather it does, but it seems to start a bit delayed? I can fix it later very easily with a setting, and can also add another setting for "Episode Splits Only" like how @hipp0cat has his livesplit set up, if people want. As it's set up now you would need a split for every level like Tarakan has.

Doesn't seem to work for me, unfortunately. Win7, Steam version, with dgvoodoo (doesn't work without dgvoodoo too):

I sent you both a request on discord since using these forums can be a bit slow and awkward sometimes. Is there a blood 2 speedrun discord by chance?

I should mention that when I set it up, I only used a fresh steam install on windows 10, no dgvoodoo or external programs. I'm curious if it's a difference in OS or if its dgvoodoo messing it up (I'd try a fresh install of the steam version to see, if that isn't an issue).

By the way how do you get it in windowed mode? I assume thats dgvoodoo? I've never used the program myself

Yes, you can force games into windowed mode with dgvoodoo. I'd normally use dxwnd for this, but I couldn't make the game run nice with it.
