Sticky Keys still works for me. Meanwhile i can't reproduce the tabbing.

Edit: Got it, not seems to work with every application.

Fullscreen might be a key requirement for triggering the glitch since i never tried to run the game windowed.

Furthermore: Sticky Key´s-Window can also get closed using "ESC" which saves 1 button press compared to Right Arrow & Enter, while ESC is closer to WASD.

The runs not really differ from the order of things to do but rather you skip unavoidable cutscenes with this glitch by speeding up the game´s time. Through there is no real time consumption for doing it, it is pretty much always a timesave unless the cutscene etc. wouldn't last longer as 2-3 seconds, or if you take to long to click the Window Notification away as this would cause the game to spawn Specimen 9 and oneshot you.

Interesting, i both managed to do it on Windows 7 and on Windows 10. I will probably end up creating a virtual machine to test it on Windows 8.1 . In case the Glitch doesn't work there for whatever reason, this might could end up getting the runs killed of :o

Recently, the PC Version of Linelight received a new Update.

The version "1.1" adding a Speedrun Mode to all Worlds, that require to collect all Starts of a Section/the whole World and clearing it as fast as possible.

This will heavily help to create runs for the Level Leaderboards. However, single Sections don't have a Leaderboard yet as this would may flood the Tablist.

I noticed it for a few months but barely tried to analyze it further as i first throught that i may get some hallucinations. However, it seems to be true.

From what i can tell, it seems like that the loadingtimes in Spooky´s House of Jumpscares HDR are more unstable as i first throught. This barely affects the normal categories on the first view, but sums up in the duration of the run.

I actually noticed it by coincidence doing the "Karamari Hospital" Category. Unlike the Original-Game, HDR calculates the loadingtimes based on Sections instead of loading all necessary files directly on the start (since HDR is bigger, this dynamic loading is necessary).

Sideeffects: As the Memory can reuse files, the actual loadingtimes slightly improve when doing several runs in the row. However, what at the first sounds like a simply further safe, is not completely reproduceable for every system.

Systems with older Memory Technic or without "Dual Channel" Mode are affected from this since they usually have a larger timeframe to deal with, when the game dynamically loading the files first, if they are required.

For a comparision, i started to render the current WR from SeriousSean into a comperable run from me during a livestream. The link can be found here:

The actual interesting part in the given Video is the timeframe from 1:10 - End. As you can see, the loadingtimes between the WR (in the corner) and my actual run are different and the player builds up a time advantage on the doors itself, summing up in the duration of a possible run.

SeriousSean itself confirmed, that he got the time after several times, which is probably a result from the dynamic loading and reusage of files. However, during my current DDR3 Single Channel Setup, it seems to be unreproduceable to get even close to the given Time for the run, which maybe also affected other players in the category (such as the Player called "Cheats"), and also affects the other categories when it comes to bigger loads. A timesave especially occurs here, if a Specimen appears.

Unfortunally, the game´s speedrunning is to small in order to find a obvious solution for that or setting up an Autosplit which would remove the Loadingtimes between the doors. As i don't want to hear that i created this post as in frustration or something like that, i actually withdrawed my actual submitted Runs on HDR (& my Mirror where i uploaded them went down, rip Vid.me).

The new version of Linelight Mobile released in the last week finally adds the World b+, setting the game more or less to the same state as the PC/Console Version (beside the changed Level Patterns, that causes me to seperate the runs through).

However, the performance is still not the best for a mobile game, making the run itself (especially if you need to record on the phone too) very inconsistent. Using a App Emulator like Bluestacks is most likely to recommend.

I found the Skip doing Original Game, since the Floor was an own room too, making the Skip in Original way more OP.

However, Sticky Key Glitch replaced the skip in OG.

The third Hotfix Update changed the behaviour from the Virus back. With that, another 10 Seconds Timesave is possible.

Good work Sean, was going to write the same like the last time.

The update adding the possability to use the Sword against the Virus in HD was the same that blocked the staircase-sprint. I first throught that they maybe accidently rollbacked the Sourcecode fron Kalamari Hospital, but Monster 2´s Chase still gives Endless Stamina.

With that, they changed those both points on purpose. According to the developer, it was never supposed to use the Sword to kill the Virus. However, using Acid to get from the second basement-half to the first one is kinda useless in both normal playthrough and Speedrun.

With that change, recently rejected Runs may get interesting again. But since Monster 2´s Chase have Unlimited Stamina, they can easily break now.

Like already sayed: Embed was just an idea, but if i can simply add the link through, it's probably the best i can do since YouTube randomly strikes and ADL-Purges Videos.

Thanks^^

Since YouTube causing several problems in the last time (and my channel hosting several Proofvideos and upcoming could get affected soon), i would ask if Speedrun.com already have a support for the Website Vid.me or if this could get added. I am not sure if the "Proof"-Field supports any kind of link and i also don't want to disturb Moderators of Games with trying that out. An "Embed" like on YT or Twitch VOD would be nice, but is not required if that takes to much effort.

The rule looks so far good, but i can already see that much users/communites gonna have their problems with that, since some of them taking speedrunning very serious, including to keep the Leaderboards up to date.

The best solution would probably be to use the concept "Ihavenoname248" explained. Everything that could identify the runowner should be "removed", the time should be kept in the list entered as "Anonymous" or "Removed". As well it can't damage to show a questionmark-icon "?" behind the name which redirects to a thread/FAQ entry which explains that and how a person can "remove" a run.

"remove" basically means that the regular user can no longer see anything but the time. Moderators of the community-part are still able to that to verify the runs.

Best example would be what recently happend to the "Karamari Hospital MISC"-Kategory in "Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion HD Renovation". The developer of the game changed several things on the game, including that "sprints" are now disabled for staircases, making several uploaded runs impossible. If the informations about a run expect of time would be completely removed even for Mods, the moderators would not be able to check which runs apply to the changes and which not.

Several things are fixed in the HD Version in comparision to the normal game. A glitch/bug of that size probably won't exist/able to find.

I tried to contact Omega Fluff already on other plattforms (YouTube), but he seems to be busy^^ Another chance could be to wait, that other things get synced (as example: Getting teleport back to the Main-Room after killing Monster 2) which would make the run possible again.

But in the current state, there is no chance to break my or Cheats scores^^ Not even in the behaviour between me and Cheats, basically for everyone thats kinda unfair :u

Just for information-reasons..^^ The update released on the May 27th 2017 syncs the gameplay from the HD Renovation with that gameplay from the normal version, causing several changes to the gameplay mechanics.

Following changes affect the speedrun in Kalamari Hospital:

• You can now skip Monster 1's Hallway by killing the virus using the sword. This will save 12 seconds, but you need 2 seconds in order to obtain the sword in the office.

• Doing Monster 2's Chase, you now have endless stamina, which allows to sprint endless and saves around 10 seconds.

• You can no longer sprint on the basement-staircases. This costs 2x (going down and going up) 20 Seconds.

Based on that changes, the new version adds a timelose from 20 seconds in total, which makes the current runs created by me and Cheats unbreakable (may you get "Serious Sean" with some luck).
