NetherlandsCheck your OBS settings. Keep reducing your recording settings until your pc can handle it.
Even 480p, 30fps and lower bitrate (or lower preset) can be a viable recording. Celeste is pixel-based so generally all recordings look good. I record 720p 60fps personally, but that depends on what your pc can handle.
Either way. Just keep changing your settings until you hit something you are satisfied with. As long as the mods can verify your recording, you should be good to go. Worst case scenario, you can just point your phone at your screen and record the game that way.
You can trigger on flag splits with the speedrun tool if you mod the celeste game (very easy to do with Olympus and Everest). But it doesn't work for livesplit. With livesplit you can specifically do splitting on room, collectibles and checkpoints afaik.
You should also try running it, it probably isn't fun to not use tech. Besides being very tricky for verification purposes. The only exception is maybe dashless 1A and that's it. (and I don't even like dashless 1A)
More ideas for extensions is good though.
more spicy category extensions would be nice
but limiting tech seems too complicated for both runners and verifiers (+rules)
As a headsup, it is possible to stream unlisted to youtube. That means you can only see the video by link. Nor will it get picked up by the algorithm. Just avoid reflections from your face.
Waiting with getting a recording until you have better capture tools is also perfectly fine. This is just a fyi. Submitting to the boards is optional to begin with.
Also happy to see you have the guts to ask the question to begin with :) . A lot of people likely wouldn't ask, maybe google. And if they don't find a (good) answer just give up.
feel free to share in the discord tho #pb-posting
but submissions to the leaderboard are always permanent video
The link doesn't work: https://www.speedrun.com/challenge
For me a user named challenge shows up
I changed the rules to end on killing the Royal Pupils. (checked with Hiken and Bjack)
Hey peopz,
Just in case I made a discord if people want to talk about the game and/or speedrun:
Just to be safe I've been stopping my timer on the constellation lately. Because that's what Annaka did in 1p. But it makes more sense on stopping the timer on the eyes.
Also, thanks for the good luck! I mostly finished grinding single player runs for now. I will probably do some runs in the future with my friends here and there.
Hey peopz,
Are runs allowed to play co-op with i.e. Parsec / Steam Remote play? Unfortunately the game doesn't have online.
Hey Hiken and others,
Best wishes for 2024! I've recently been doing runs with friends and solo. The game is very fun to speedrun. Both guides by Drak and BJAC0CKX are neat.
Has there been any consensus on when to end the timer? I've been stopping it myself when the second eye is killed. It feels very natural to end the timer there. (sorry for the necro =P)
