Hi all just a quick update nothing major we moved 'Gunslingers' to the main board of RDR2 it is not a new category it was on CE before but we felt it would be better suited for the main board so here it is.

Go check it out.

Hello Dadeler! You must be a new runner

Anyways if you want to get good at GTA 5 i'd start with segments I don't know if you're aware but there is Trevor% tutorial which might be of use to you

Nope

Hello so you may of noticed not all challenges are on the speedrun boards and that is because we don't want to clutter the boards with un-ran categories if you end up running a challenge that isn't currently on the board please put it in this thread and myself or FreshRigi will add the run to the boards
Have a good one.

Horse stats little not at all for Chapter 3,4 or 6 as you barely do actual traveling with it so don't stress it. Don't worry about bonding either people over think it so much but the impact is little to none skill is the most important

Honestly don't worry about stats of Arthur. Just grab the gold bar before the run and put it in the money box ready to buy fast travel. Horse you can get from the random event in Saint Denis which will save you a bit of time during the run

ok

Yeah that is fine Adam

More than Rigi running them I mean.

Here is the thing about new categories I am gonna lay down some hard to swallow pills for everyone.
You think you want a category but the reality is you don't. You like to see the shiny new categories on the board because 'Wow new thing!' but the reality is we have all the categories we could possibly need and want for RDR2. The only way I'd ever add another category is if more than 2 people run it. As for Challenges as a whole the ones that aren't ran within 2 months are going to be deleted

Please don't use any of these during runs or anything smilar or your run will be rejected.

We don't use the loadless timer or allow the use of it in game.

There is no rule for or against it because currently you have to restart the game for these items to be in game. I don't think it warrants a ban as of right now because I don't see it having a huge or any advantage

Hello everyone! So as you will know we recently introduced leadless times into play and well sadly you can't remove the timer from certain categories so as of right now IL times are a mess. In the coming days me and Rigi will be fixing the IL times so that they are correct but until then you guys just submit any IL times as loadless and leave the time with loads. We will sort it out

Thanks Demo

Hey, everyone

So recently we have seen an influx of runs being killed due to them getting the infamous Uncles Bad Day load. For a while we have been working out ways to stop this load or prevent it but unfortunately no fixes have been found as of yet. As a result of this we are going to allow you to pause the timer when this load occurs and un-pause the timer when you have loaded back in the game (using the autosave made in the run). This might be a temp rule for now unless someone finds a fix a for this load if the run was short like 4 hours this rule would not be in place but as this load occurs on one of the VERY last missions we are allowing the timer to be paused. Here is the rule
+ The timer may be paused if the infinite load after Uncles Bad Day appears (the runner must show them reloading the game and going into the autosave made in the run) timer can stop when the loading cog appears and timer MUST be un-paused when the game has finished loading. Run will be invalid if the runner is caught loading another save that wasn't created during the run

Best wishes! Demo

Hey, all

So you may of noticed that your Chapter 6 times have gone down by a substantial amount that is because we no longer include 'Icraus And Friends' in the run as it can be done in Chapter 5. Timer now starts after the first cutscene on 'Visiting Hours' has been skipped

Have a good day!

Hey, everyone

So we have a loadless timer and I was just making this post to make sure everyone is okay with it! This just means there will be 2 columns now
1 for loadless time
1 for RTA (Non Loadless)
It's fairly simple. If you're fine with it just like this post if not then comment why.

Hey, everyone

Challenge runs are back but only the ones that people have done!

So if you do a challenge that isn't on the board let a mod know and we will add it to the board with video proof!

Hey everyone,

The Wheel is now being removed from all Chapter 6 speedruns and will no longer be part of the run

I asked all Chapter 6 runners their thoughts and the majority decided against keeping it.

Update: Thanks to Crab1k it is now fixed!
