so for whatever reason your on the latest patch for, here’s how to fix the bug:
idk why it works, or why you would speedrun on the latest patch, but it's useful information. thanks for sharing!
only works with trevor since michaels not available for switch at that point, and even if he was he’d be too close
and np!
for anyone interested: I am currently working for a solution to a bug myself. I am replaying the story until you get the gauntlets for the big score. and I'm going to see what gauntlet Franklin uses when you flee from merryweather and the police. I've seen some old runs from DarkViperAU where he was flung in the air in the tunnel after losing a tyre. (not sure if it exists on Patch 1.50, but I think it's still there on Patch 1.27) If, for some reason you don't want to or find it difficult to dupe the gauntlets, I am working on a solution for you
well yea without the gauntlet dupe you can just buy bulletproof tires for the last gauntlet you deliver, we've done that for months before the dupe was discovered.
in short, if the game gives you the 1st gauntlet you duped, you can buy bulletproof tires and have it work out. I will make a new thread for this once I know more about it
so you want to go back to LS customs again? That is such a big amount of timeloss to prevent a really really rare "bug", doesn't sound worth to me ever.
sorry, It sounded diffrent in my head. what I meant is, if the game gives you the modified Gauntlet (the one you go to modify) it could theoretically save time by buying bulletproof tires to prevent being flung in the air. losing around 2 seconds to ensure to not have a, let's say, 6-30 second time loss might be worth it, but only if the game gives you the (technically) 3rd and final Gauntlet. I haven't been able to downgrade my version to 1.27, even with Viper's guide. I will try it again today to make the discovery as relevant as possible, but if I can't get it to work, I have to try patch 1.50 (at the time of me writing this). again, I will make a seperate thread for this when I do find it.
well as I already said, if you simply buy bulletproof tyres and do the dupe, you won't have them anymore. The game converts all 3 gauntlets to the "default" ones. And if you don't do the dupe for whatever reason(there is none, because even if you mess up duping twice you can still dupe once which has the same effect to bulletproof tyres), then you upgrade the 3rd gauntlet with bulletproof tyres because that's the one franklin uses (which I also already mentioned). So I still have no idea what "new" thing you are trying to do here.
