Hello, I recently posted a guide on installing and setting up Ballance to run properly on a Windows 10 machine.

This forum thread is for any questions / additional assitance you might need when trying to get the game working.

Myself and @LeemyyLeemyy will do our best to help!

Added.

I have now added a new variable to display a framerate column beside each run. I've gone ahead and filled out this variable for all of the existing times on the leaderboards. (If I added the wrong framerate for your run, please let me know.)

We have recently made a decision to make a minor change to the game rules. Previously, the rules stated the game framerate must be limited to 250 frames per second or lower; we have now changed this to 240 frames per second.

This was only done as it makes more sense to limit the framerate to a multiple of sixty. Any existing runs with framerates higher than 240 will not be invalidated as a result of this, due to how small an effect it would have on gameplay.

In my 51:06 Any% speedrun I used a program called KeyBinder to bind jump to the mousewheel.

After a brief discussion with Feno it was decided this should invalidate my run, as it would most likely make infinite hover easier. Even though my run didn't use infinite hover, it's only fair to treat it the same as other runs of this category.

Fixed.

I guess you can use whatever difficulty you like, but Ultra Violence is the standard difficulty setting for DOOM speedruns, so I think it would make sense to do the same for Heretic, with Smite-Meister being the equivalent.

In DOOM there's a category called UV-Max which includes getting all secrets as well as killing all monsters. With Heretic being DOOM engine and keeping track of both secrets and monster counts I think we could have some sort of a Smite-Meister Max (SM-Max) if you will.

Thanks for notifying me of this. I'll move his run to the Any% category.

I might talk to Monkey about creating some new categories so people can still do runs with the updated physics - if that's even possible; I've not played the game since the physics changed.

Perhaps try updating your graphics card drivers? I have no idea whether that will actually do anything, this is far from my area of expertise.

Bit late on this one, but I agree with Jumpy. Cyberscore only tracks ILs for each individual floor, but not each individual world. I think adding charts for individual worlds here would be a good idea, whether they're added as ILs or misc. categories. Could spark some healthy competition in a relatively unpopular game to speedrun.

Reminder.

Sorry about that. I always change my discord and never update it on here. It's currently: Cyberscore User#5186

Bit late, but here:

Updated.

The PC version of CatCF is a totally different game. It's a point and click adventure that can be completed in about 50 minutes. Someone should create a new leaderboard for that game rather than have PC as a platform here.

Sidenote: Perhaps consider adding 100% as a category also.

I don't like the idea of abusing map file conversion bugs to allow for a faster route, since obviously the map author has no control over this.

I'm never going to run this category or game ever again, so I'll leave the ultimate decision up to you and the other mods. Just thought it might be worthwhile posting my two pence.

I'll look into it.
