Category
Any%
- Beat the game as fast as possible
- Items purchased from shops are allowed to be used
- You are allowed to cap FPS to any of the in-game settings (Under Display - Lock FPS) but you are not allowed to cap FPS with any external software.
- Top 10 runners require an FPS counter. (Ask in Discord if you need any help setting one up)
- Any dips below 30fps must be timestamped in the run description and will be scrutinized during verification (applies to top 10 only)
Restrictions
- You may only rebind keys inside the game, no external rebinding allowed
- Ragdoll Launches are banned
RNG Mitigation
- Super Items are banned until further testing has been done (specifically on static spawns and/or RNG Manipulation)
- If you accidentally pick up a Super Item, do not use it. Using a Super Item will result in disqualification under the current ruleset. You may keep it in your inventory without using it, but you must include the timestamp of when you picked it up in your run description.
- Using the Capsule Machine is banned
- Throwing chickens at the courier to drop gold/items is banned
Timing
- Timing is done LRT (Load-Removed Time)
- Runs should use the LiveSplit Load Remover available within Livesplit under Edit Game so long as the game name is set as ALTF42. Any runs not using the Load Remover will be timed RTA (Real-Time Attack) instead. You may download LiveSplit at http://livesplit.org/downloads/.
- Time starts after the first load screen, upon gaining control of the character
- Time ends on the load screen transitioning into the final cutscene
- If you are using the load remover, the timer will automatically start and stop for you
The top ten times have been retimed completely without loading screens due to funky load remover behavior. This is why there's a large gap between top ten and the rest of the runs.
Challenges are time-limited speedrunning competitions.
They function very similarly to regular leaderboards except run submission is only allowed within a set time frame.
In addition to that, they may feature unique themes, rules, or objectives that differ from the regular categories. They provide an opportunity to explore different aspects of a game or to celebrate specific events, discoveries, or community milestones.
Challenges within our SRC Series are internally funded and hand-picked to celebrate and give back to our communities. These challenges not only recognize the passion and dedication of our runners but also encourage a more laid-back environment, focused on community collaboration rather than raw competition.
