Germanywe tested it and it wasnt good for speedruns , lots of bugs , crashes etc. steam version is the same like gog only with DRM bs on top of it. so thats the reason we decided to ban this version from the boards like we did with other versions.
For PC runs sourcenext version only is allowed. No GOG version ! its mandotory to track the igt via livesplitscript or srt for PC RUNS !
For console u dont need a capture card . as long your gamefeed is shown via the stream option of ps4/ps5 and the run starts on the title screen and end on the end screen with the final igt u good to submit a time for ps4/ps5 board.
PAL is banned thats right so allowed are only us and japanese versions of the game. so thats because the igt isnt consistent on pal versions u can have 2 identical runs but different igts so u cant compare runs fair. and also japanese version is easier than us/pal version so its faster to run on it and the text is shorter as well.
this game hasnt any real glitches where u can sequence break some areas or so . there are only minor skips to save maybe couple of frames or 1s like the intro skip turnskip etc.
the gog version has a lot of bugs with failing textures or missing textures what not showing ladders or the character model or the camera didnt change... it crashed in some places. and i have seen only couple of runs on it and only on re2 and re3 as well. i havent seen anything of re1 so far. therefore is my opinion on that : not worth the money how i sayed before. the patched the OG version from 1998 instead of the reworked sourcenext version from 2006 on re2. why tho is the real question.
there are different reasons why only the japanese Sourcenext PC version is allowed but how i sayed how many bugs the gog game has is one of the reasons why we didnt allowed it. for example is even a problaby faster chinese version of re2 on pc out but it has so many bugs and crashed so often that its useless to make speedruns on it, that version is also based on the og pc version from 1998.
but on PC is also the GC emu category. u can see it when u expand the arrow on the right where the category is.
ok thats weird. then u have tried all my solutions that i would recommand. what gpu do u have exactly? i can remember installing the game on a PC on work on a PC with gpu on board and it also didnt even booted up. so maybe there is a issue with your gpu but what exactly i have no idea. sorry that i cant help u further..
have u tried install the game or just drag and drop the folder from the past?

here is a clip with blackscreen bug on claire b and u can see how i skip that sherry cutscenen before entering elevator, what is also not always instant happening like in this vod. and when i come back to sherry after g1 is the same bs again rng cutscene skip...
We are testing it atm . But from my first impression :
-it doesnt run on legacy fps so its slower
-has tons of bugs (for example no mask at the corner where u usually do quickcroc)
- rebirth isnt campatible with it
-realy poorly looking compared to Sourcenext
- they have used the old bad PC version from 98 and not the 8 years later released Sourcenext
So my first opinion on this is that it makes no sense to allow a slower more inconsistent PC Version of the game when we have already a good working one. And also makes it no Sense to double the categorys just for an bad Port, when we have already a better one.
idk if this is the case but u need to be careful with having in built splits and using and asl script . that can force some strange shit. no manual asl file selction is what i mean.
which asl file do u use because i see u use not all doors splits? and i counted 1 min from your vod comparing timer in splits and timer from the vod its matching 100% what shouldnt be the case if your split timer is igt . so if u dont compare to real time then it has to be your asl file . i mean with asl that autoscriptfile. usually u have in 49 mins igt run around 53 min real time so something isnt tracking the igt and i guess its your asl file or so
it looks like u comparing against rta and not igt otherwise i cant explain how is it not the same ! even when u use legacy framerate the igt in endscreen should be matching with time on the splits if u compare it to IGT ! it should look like this if u right click on the splits
Oh duckstation i heared about this emu from RE1 already . i guess its that one what has daily updates. The Times improved alot in the last mounths on this emu. iam also looking forward to that MGS 1 experimenting to see what is possible with this emu. Of Course should be then emu as an own category when its faster than og hardware but the boards are atm so that it doesnt matter how fast the version is. So it could be also integrated like everything else here in the boards because nobody has a advantage of buying fastest hardware. I could live with that because the fastest version is for everybody avaible without spending that money! i know at least a couple of re runners they would like join this game but not with this boards. Some comming from very poor countrys and the cant/want spend that money . But i like very much that idea of a emu board where everybody has the same conditions maybe also with fixed settings and fixed emu that everybody can compete at least there with the same requirements. and its for everybody available. Maybe could be this board as a provisorium until there is stabil duckstation emu version which is around the same speed as psp/pstv .later then put them together, would be totally fine. and pls palmer stop with this bs that people only want to compete against less player. i want only fairness thats it!!
