Version Question

is there a specific version for speedruning or is it just the current steam version?

Good question, the unpatched original game would be quite a bit faster than the current steam version, but I'm not sure where you'd find it, and as this thread has no replies, I'm guessing no one else knows where either.

For co-op, the only version that's been used is the latest Steam version. It's a stable release in the sense that there are de facto no new patches coming out for it. Primary reason for using the Steam version is that it requires no modification to be able to access multiplayer mode, whereas older versions require some fiddling about to get around Steam.

For single player individual levels, any version is allowed (as long as it hasn't been modified, of course). In general, the latest version is just as fast as the 1.0 version, with the exception of Dead Air 2, Dead Air 3 and Death Toll 3, where crescendos can be skipped far more easily than in later versions.
