Hi there. Recently became a mod of this board and I'm in the middle of completely overhauling the page as per 'yes' and 'no's' from the current mods. Some short quick points to what has been changed, as a list here. I will be updating the thread with changes to the board as I go, and if you have any suggestions, things you'd like, or categories that you think may be interesting, feel free to submit them here. All will be discussed. |

Max% Category rules have been overhauled, to make it a more consistent, and reasonable category to run. |
|

|
Overhauled tools for the Dead Space Resources with a new addition of SuicideMachines' Universal Trainer, which now includes loader for Origins version of Dead Space 1 and Dead Space 2's tool. |

After a long thought out process (nah not really we talked for like 10 minutes about it), NRV is being merged into the Any% categories and is now part of main game. This was 'requested' by a few runners, and has been thought over. With this change, we are now splitting the boards between PC and Console, mainly due to the discovery of a brand new trick calling Pulse Boosting, and NRV being merged. There will be a a new guide made on this trick and a video detailing on how to do it, small tips, and whatnot. Console is at a massive disadvantage due to the fact NRV is simply not possible, as well as pulse boosting being entirely FPS based. Therefore, board will be split between platforms. For tips on how to run with NRV, please refer to this guide. -----> https://www.speedrun.com/ds1/guide/tv1ec |

TheBritishRunner has also made a few changes detailed here. |

-Overhauled Ch1-12 saves resources tab with full NG+ loadout, Level 5 suit (level 6 suit sux bro), and Save points at the rough end of each chapter (where all objectives have been completed) |
|
|
|
-Updated Rules for Glitchless. After about a 2 hour discord call, I have tacked on a few additions to Glitchless to make it safer to run and leave less questions. To confirm a few things, Depending on how fleshed out these runs become, I may add on to the 'allowed tricks list' here, depending on consensus between runners. These have been discussed in depth to a degree, and I will allow them for now. |

Ch3 Centrifuge skip has returned to being banned as it is coming under Wall Boosting. However, you are allowed to risk stasising the railings and running off to skip (part) of the centrifuge spinning. That's at your own risk. Everything else should still be fine. A question has come up about the beacon cancel skip (You place the beacon and open inventory), this is allowed due to the fact animation cancels are not always intentional, and I'm not going to police anyone on that. You'll be fine. Enjoy your runs. Any other questions, feel free to message, or ask in the discord. |

NRV's opening cutscene has been timed at 3:26, and a new Intro skip DLL has been written to skip the opening. If you'd like to start without the opening cutscene, please import the DLL and set your split time to 3:26. You then start timing on beginning of difficulty select/load. Any runs starting before or after 3:26 will be instantly rejected. Please be reminded this is an entirely optional choice as loads differ between users. You can watch the intro cutscene and time normally or choose the set time and skip intro. Choice is yours. This applies across all categories. |

The timing methods for DS1 have been overhauled and now begin when control is gained at the beginning of the game, please take this into mind. I no longer have access to the boards as I was deemed inactive, so please refer to MattMatt, Looney, or Sharkhat for further needs. Papa bless. |

Can i still speedrun DS1 without livesplit on xbox one or no |
|
|
|
If you intend on doing it without the timer then make sure your recording is complete the entire way through, no splits or breaks inbetween. Otherwise it cannot be accurately timed, thanks. |

I am jsut learning about this NRV thing now. According to this forum post, you have added a category? I do not see it. Can you please confirm what tools/mods are allowed? Maybe put that in the rules? I am running Dead Space PC I already finished a run of 6 hours 18 minutes and uploaded it pending verification. I'm curious to know as the game is very glitchy on PC and more specifically these annoying cutscenes take up a lot of time. If you could also clarify on how to handle things such as crashes that would be great. Game is plagued by constant crashes (usually spend the first 2 hours of a stream just redoing chapter 1 repeatedly until it works). had a perfect run, would have been sub 6 hours, and game crashed right at the end of chapter 11 causing me to redo it. i then spent the whole week trying to upload the video to social media to post here but twitch is extremely fickle when it comes to uploading anything over a couple hours. Anyway, some clarifications on the rules would be nice just in general. |

Also Cheev I used to Speedrun DS1 on Xbox One without Splits so yes it works, but you def need clean recordings or streams of it. |

Wanna ask what skips are there that don’t fall into the glitch category |
|
|
|
The game constantly crashes and as far as I can tell there is no specific stage it does this on (though it does seem to love acting up on the first chapter if vysnc is on). I have tried numerous things to stop this. None of them work consistently. This is probably why no one but me is running glitchless impossible i imagine. Pain in the butt. Got to the end of chapter 11 in less than 5 hours and the silly thing just crashes. Silly "cutscene" prevents you from savign until after you go through silly 5 minute dialogue with imaginary friend. Had to replay the entirity of chapter 11 essentially and splice it into my video. Very silly. |

O that's a lot of skips. I assumed the level 3 kinesis is part of the game . Would not count that as an exploit. But all this other stuff is good to know. |
|
|
|
I assume skipping the door falling down is also allowed. THere's a part of the game where you normally would accidentally get hit by a door that suddenly falls down, but if you get to the door while the npcs are still talkign the door does not fall down. |
