It doesn't seem like the seed is random when you start on this screen with it already typed in but okay. Personally, I would have started recording from the main menu to show that the seed wasn't just put in there by me and I had played it already. I'm sure it's just an honest mistake and not intentional and that you have never played that seed before. Guessing where to move your missionaries and taking the best possible route to get there is really lucky. Slightly suspicious when the seed can't be proven to be random though.

"everything should be good now"

nice run :)

Are we ignoring this for certain categories like this Forsaken round 5 rampage run that was verified?

Happy to see they are on hold. Would be nice if they would add something to be able to play without the event, either an option or just separate playlists, but I doubt they will.

If you play offline the event is not active. You could still do solo/LAN runs then. You would only be able to use the base weapons and equipment though. That alone is probably too drastic of a change.

I'm on Windows 11 and it works fine. I have the game on my OneDrive you can download here in case you need it.

Good news, I downloaded the app and tied the WR. It took almost 10 minutes but, I submitted a video of the results screen as proof and you can view the run here.

If anyone else wants to improve their times the Brainium Spider Solitaire app has:

1. "Single Tap to Move" built-in by default

2. You don't need a card in every pile before dealing

The setting is called "Strict Mode" and is disabled by default

3. The difficulties don't match the Microsoft Solitaire Collection

Difficulties are 1 Suite, 2 Suite, and 4 Suite

4. All cards that are "movable" are highlighted

The setting is called "Show Movable" and is enabled by default

Is there no restriction on the app/program that's used so long as it's "Spider Solitaire"? Seems like a pretty meaningless game to run then if everyone can just play whatever is the fastest/allows single tap moves by default/etc.

Also, what is with the new Easy - Mobile run? It's not Microsoft Solitaire Collection, it's not even recorded gameplay, and it's just the results screen. Is that what we're saying is good enough for proof now just basically screenshot the results? Should I just re-submit my runs with a screenshot of the "Best Time"? As someone who records their entire run starting with the "New Game" button and even showing the settings at the end, I don't even know why I bothered lol. I could have just downloaded some random app and submitted the results screen and saved myself a lot of time.

I would say good luck with the autosplitter. Cold War's anticheat, while not great, has changed a lot since launch and just directly reading/writing memory seems like it would raise some red flags. I looked at the autosplitter and it's just for campaign so I'm not sure if there used to be an offline version of the campaign or how exactly that worked at launch, but zombies requires a constant internet connection for the anticheat. Having anything simply running in the background causes BOCW to close immediately. On top of that, the game is constantly being updated and pointers are likely to change with each new build so you'd need to do AoB scans, code injection, memory allocation, etc. to dynamically get the values you want. I'd be willing to bet any one of those things are going to be noticed by the anticheat.

So, you could make an autosplitter for it. Anything is possible with enough time and effort. But, I don't think you're going to be able to keep it working as it would just be temporarily using vulnerabilities to get around the anticheat. I don't think Activision/Blizzard cares to differentiate someone who speedruns vs someone who's cheating in multiplayer or whatever.

Sorry for interrupting the shitposting... But, I'm glad I haven't missed anything these past few months.

I work from home and the development workload/expectations are such that I can still have a life. So, I don't mind working on whatever splitter, research, tools, etc. you might need. I have pointers for most everything already and I have been meaning to upload all that stuff to GitHub but I keep forgetting. I know I started working on a new autosplitter too but I don't remember how far I got or if I finished it.

My discord and stuff are on my profile if you need to get ahold of me. Sorry if I missed any messages or anything from anyone. I am primarily playing CoD (the game not the fish) at the moment so I haven't been checking anything here. ✌️

I have the code to show the IGT value in real time if anyone is curious and wants to test it. I used it when I was running The Struggle and wanted to test things to see when exactly the timer is running/stopped. I can share the assembly to get the IGT pointer as well as the app if anyone wants to do some testing with it.

The app I made for the timer display is super simple you can see it bottom left. If the timer is running then they time is green and when it's paused it switches to yellow. if you want to try it let me know I'll clean up the code and throw it on GitHub.

Here's the (working) GFWL installer.

https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1012-microsoft-games-for-windows-live/

It's funny because it says that GFWL is banned, yet GFWL code is in the (broken) current version of the game. You can manually install GFWL, just not using that installer that's in the RE5 depot (\redist\gfwlivesetup.exe). Honestly, there's so many changes between the console versions even just between each generation but, the PC version is by far the most out of date and will never be updated by Capcom. They half-assed the switch to Steamworks and left the GFWL code in, among other things, just to get it on Steam and sell more copies.

[Quote]Modifying the game in any way: Unlimited Ammo, Character Mods (Textures and Models), HD Texture Changes and other modifications to the game will not be tolerated and your run will be rejected.[/Quote]

The rules here state that no textures or mods are allowed because they "affect gameplay" yet the PC version of RE5 is ~8.5 GB and the Xbox One install is 15.95 GB. That's a almost double the size of the PC install and considering the fact they keep changing the game and fixing things/updating it as they release it on new systems, the disparity between the PC and console versions only increases. The community patch is just doing what Capcom should be doing but never will. So forcing people to play a broken version of the game as-is while console releases are literally double the PC ones makes no sense.

Would like to see 'Invisible Mode' added before anything else.

Can someone remove this run?

https://www.speedrun.com/re5lin/run/y81kqrwz

I don't get why that would be grandfathered in. They submitted and verified the run on the same day that they announced in this rule change:

https://www.speedrun.com/re5lin/thread/fe3z2

That's clearly something that has been patched out and (as far as I know) was never possible on PC (or Xbox One/PS4). So how is that even the same category at that point? Why would anyone run that now knowing that those exploits are no longer possible and it's pointless to try? If for some reason you guys want to keep the run then make it a separate category. None of the other difficulties/categories use those exploits. It completely changes the run. It's multiple things that completely change the run.

I noticed that the person who submitted the run also verified it, the same day, and is also the person who announced the rule change and grandfathering in which was conveniently the same day that they submitted and verified someone else's run. That person is also no longer a mod for Lost in Nightmares, for some reason, but is for the main game and Desperate Escape.

If this was a mistake or just something that was missed, then can someone just remove it?

Considering everything though (submitted the run and verified the run, chose that specific date to grandfather in the run, is no longer a mod in that one specific sub-game, etc.) I doubt it was a mistake. What are the chances that they picked that exact date? Of that run that they submitted? And they verified? Of someone else (one of which no longer has an account)? Of the only RE5 game they're no longer a mod of?

I agree. If it went at all by the IGT I'd say having it just be based for clearing all 150 (or 300) enemies makes sense. Unfortunately, there's no time on the results screen. Even the remaining time is converted into points so it's definitely more of a high score thing.

Did you get the medal for it and everything at the end of the chapter or no? If it has nothing to say you and/or your friend did it then it's probably a(nother) bug. This is the list of medals just for your convenience so you can check if you want.

https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_medals_in_Resident_Evil_6

I'm not aware of anything like that but it would be cool. I'll look at the video(s) if you want to link them or something.

Sum of IGT makes sense for the "Full Game" runs to me it's just not actually written anywhere lol. Should just be done like how we do it for Microsoft Solitaire where the boards for mobile and PC are separate. For individual difficulties it's more intuitive but even then I'd just explicitly state those kinds of things in the rules to avoid confusion.

But yeah I have played a lot of Sudoku and when this is a little bit better defined I'll definitely be playing. I was going to submit a request for this game and noticed that this had just been created. So, if you need help or someone willing to work on that stuff I'd be happy to help.

What?

I just decided to open my settings at the end of a run to show that "make moves with one click/tap" option is off. Only takes a second and you only need to do it when you want to submit the run (so new PB, WR, etc.). We do something similar in Revelations 2 raid mode where at the end of the run we'll show the specifics of our loadout. I know it's annoying having to do anything extra but it makes verification easier and obviously more accurate.

Yeah that is weird... But so is speedrunning pencil sharpening so idk.
