Description

I had to record my monitor screen on a phone to get the fps high enough. YouTube video processing, of course, changed the exact frame timings, but everything related to the calculations is correct. So for convenience I will use the video timings from Youtube video

. . .

Start of the race has 2 timings:

0:14.850 - first frame where the signs of the race start are Barely Visible

0:14.884 - first frame with full start of the race

02:55.117 - finish of the race

In such a situation (2 start timings with 1 finish timing), neither 0:14.850 nor 0:14.884 CANNOT be considered as the Correct timing for the race start. Here's proof:

Frames with such an EXTREMELY pale and not fully appeared inscription (GO!) - with normal screen capture using Bandicam, Fraps, etc. - DO NOT HAPPEN. Because with normal screen capture, the inscription is either FULLY VISIBLE, or IT'S COMPLETELY ABSENT

This particular frame (0:14.850) is a kind of "bug", obviously caused by the fact that frame rate of video recording from external camera is 3-4 times less than the frame rate of GTA SA

So 0:14.850 is "just before" the REAL start. And the next frame (0:14.884) is already "a little later" than the REAL start. None of these start timings can be used to determine Real start of the race. In THIS case (2 start timings with 1 finish timing) - the simplest and most honest way to determine Real start timing will be the arithmetic average of 2 start timings

. . .

REAL start of the race = (0:14.850 + 0:14.884) : 2 = 0:14.867

02:55.117 - 0:14.867 = 02:40.250

P.S. This run is very similar to https://www.speedrun.com/gtasa/runs/m70vw5ey . But unlike that run, here I don't use Bandicam FPS Limit 43 before tricky corner at 2:00

Changes to the GTA:SA leaderboard

The GTA:SA community has been deteriorating over a long period of time. Many top runners are not currently present on the leaderboard. This issue has not been seriously addressed yet, but an attempt will be made to remedy it now.

As of this news post, the San Andreas leaderboard will function in
