Just to clarify, do you mean 700 Kb or KB? Big difference, and KB is easily enough, whereas Kb is extremely low quality, but possible(I've streamed at worse).

Ah, so I'm not the only one that gets the weird hitbox lock-on when you swing the axe? It was super disorienting when I tried; It would throw my camera around like I had an aimbot or something. (Aim assist setting doesn't affect this, and I don't use right-click with the axe)

This game's complex with how much testing or tinkering that needs to be done on the littlest things. Some tricks only work(or work better) at 30 FPS cap, some only work at 60, some may have to be over 100, and some may require VSync to be on or off. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if there's even more settings that affect tricks. So if you're trying new things out, keep these things in mind.

It's at 1:50:40 in that 5-hour video, for anyone wondering.

So this is ¤all¤ the differences? Is anyone currently using, or is going to use the Japanese version, though? Seems like you really gotta go out of your way to get it. Also, here's a big reddit thread discussing this video: https://redd.it/5tlnob

To add to this... Even on a high-end GPU, If you have your Texture Quality setting on Very High or High, you could also be running out of VRAM or still falling victim to the weird way this game handles this setting, which causes the game to stutter and hitch like crazy at some points. RE7 has an issue with this setting that causes strange performance dips. Having this setting on Medium has the same texture quality as Very High, it just reduces the amount of textures it preloads into VRAM, however, textures take a bit longer to load, and you'll notice that they first load at low quality and increase quality a moment later(even on SSD, and it's mostly just the pictures on the wall). I had a night and day difference in smoothness after changing to Medium, as others have too. Try rebooting your PC too, because even though ¤NOTHING¤ on my setup had changed, rebooting tripled my FPS out of nowhere, with the same background tasks(thought I'd include this for people that rarely reboot). Since you're obviously speedrunning and recording, you should care more about performance and stability than graphics, so having your textures set to Low or Medium should help with that. Besides Texture Quality, having your rendering method set to "Interlaced" may double your framerate over the default option, as it did to mine, and I can't even see a difference in quality between them when I'm looking for it.

On another note, if you're lagging a bit when recording at 1080p, or the recording itself cannot record at a consistent 60 FPS in 1080p, try recording in 720p with the same bitrate(the game can still be running in 1080p), and it should help framerates both in-game and in the recording; it should still look quite good.

Shouldn't we clarify that we shouldn't be using Berserk Mode in the IL rules? It makes them significantly faster and Berserk Mode ILs don't get submitted to the official Steam leaderboards either.

It's all on a new file, so you won't have an option to "play all" anyway. ILs don't count obviously.

I don't think it's necessary since there's IL leaderboards, you could kind of just add up all the best ILs to find out what a segmented time would be.
