[PC] How to make a fresh file by altf4towin

NOTE: PURE FRESH FILE RUNS WILL CAUSE YOUR SAVE TO LOSE GOLDEN GUN ROOM. BE CAREFUL, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OTHER LOSS OF PROGRESS.
IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU DO THIS ON A SECONDARY EPIC PROFILE.

In order to reset your profile:

1. (to be safe) backup your user profile. The folder is located at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\my games\Shadow Complex and then the folder with the long set of numbers 
and letters. Copy this folder somewhere safe.

2. Download the "fresh file" save from the Resources area and copy the two files into the OLD user id folder.

3. To stop Shadow Complex from just syncing with the cloud, either create a Steam shortcut with the launch parameters below, or just create a shortcut manually.

Parameters: "-AUTH_LOGIN= -AUTH_PASSWORD= -AUTH_TYPE=" EXACTLY, without the quotes

4. Start up the game.

If you want to go back to your progress, just restore the files from the backup and get all the gold bars again to regain progress.

A rundown of all the different known glitches at time of recording. Most of these have some use in speedruns, although I do cover a few without any current application.

For the z-slide to get missiles, you will hold sprint + left directional input for the whole trick. Start to the right of the door and sprint to the left. While still holding S+L, use the manual aim (default: Q or right control stick) to aim to the right so that Jason turns around. While Jason is turning around, press and hold crouch. The timing of the crouch should start maybe half a second after you do the aim input, so that Jason is still running left but has started to rotate. You should hear a sliding sound effect (to sample the sound effect, just press crouch while sprinting normally) and Jason will slide into the background. No sound effect = you pressed crouch too slow and didn't slide. If you get the sound effect but Jason just hits the door, you aimed to the right too late or you hit crouch too soon.

The goal is to make Jason face the background while sprinting, and the slide will make him go further into the background and around the missile door.
