So it's official now, fast forwarding gives you an unfair advantage since the game runs faster, if your hardware is better. For example I got a sick run on a 4 core PC which was 15:13, on my 8 core PC I got a sick run which was 13:03. The difference in timing is too huge to be related to misplaying or something - it has to be the difference in hardware specs.
What to do now? I don't want to ban fast forwarding completely, since any% would be 1 hour then with doing nothing 90% of the time = boring as fuck I thought of using external FPS limiters (IF the games FPS goes above 60 in the fast forwarding sections). Any idea so save the any% category is appreciated. Because getting rekkie just because one has a better PC is obviously super unfair.
Okay, chapter 6 has crazy lag. Other than chapter 6, chapter 8, and Campaign Any% however, I don't really see how lag could make a significant difference at the IL WR holders' levels of micro
I can say for a fact, that fast forwarding depends on two things: quality of your hardware and load of your PC. The difference between my best times offline and on stream in any% is one minute, which is quite big considering the duration of the run.
Yes, that's Campaign Any%, the third-to-most category dependend on lag. In any other level than mission 6 or 8 of the campaign, I don't see how it could outweigh the heavy requirements in microing and having a route in your head
