SwedenWhen sound is enabled you need to skip the door when the doorknob is turning. That's how it's been done for ages now. Check WR runs for reference.
Congrats speedrunxyz, you just found out something new.
Disabling the DirectSound (all sound) in Regedit saves about 1.4 seconds per door. For Leon A thats 164¤1.4 = 3m50s save in total.
Thing is that im not sure myself if this should be allowed or not. Sure we disable the FMV in regedit but the IGT pauses when a FMV is running so it doesnt matter if its enabled or disabled.
Running the RE2 disk on a PS3 would fall under the PS3 leaderboard. Just like when people run RE2 on a PS2.
Probably all of the current runs on the PS3 leaderboard are PSN runs which should fall under PS3 - Emulator. I guess no one ever thought about this since only like the first model of PS3 could run PS1 disks.
Steven and I have now gone throught all the runs for RE2 and replaced the broken links with the new ones. 15 runs was rejected because the highlight couldnt be found on Twitch/Youtube or other reasons like the highlight didnt contain the full run.
Delete the .001 and .002, then you should be able to extract it with winrar. I think thats how i did it, long time ago.
Thought it was better to post it here then to make a new thread about it.
You cap card probably doesnt support 240p or another resulotion the game is running at. which results in a black screen but audio is still coming through.
I use a fake ezcap which is amazing (better then the legit version lol) and svideo cable.
IGT is tied to framerate so you don't loose any time when the framerate goes slow. A few people have had this problem (1.0 and 1.1) and they got around it by playing a movie in windows media player in the background (muted of course), so you could try that out.
I highly recommend that you go back to 1.0 and try everything you can to get it to work, like testing all compability modes with and without run as admin, custom profile in your GPU control panel for the game, play movie in background etc. Most people have never had to patch the game to 1.1.
Pre-Kendo will be alot of fun when running "Kill all enemies" Kappa
Would it not be possible to have 100% for each scenario? I mean doesn't Chris and Jill both have canon related things in their scenarios and they have their own 100% category?
This tread is NOT made for adding a 100% category.
Ok, I've been wondering what 100% would require in Resident Evil 2 if it existed. Picking up All Notes (including Rebecca's photo dudsLmao ), All weapons and upgrades, register fingerprint in lab.
These are a few things that I would consider 100%. Since RE2 only has 1 ending for each scenario 100% kinda becomes irrelevant and would be considered as a meme category.
Lets play with the thought that we were forced to come up with a 100% then what requirements would you pick?

So it's been 5 days now and not a single complaint or drama PogChamp The change even got people in RE1 and RE3 want to change theirs so people has had time to voice their opinion in this thread.
I've now triple checked the Full Game and IL boards so not a single run was forgotten or had the wrong time. I've deleted the main scenarios in the IL board so the migration is now complete.
I also need to tell you that you can't have a time for a specific console and the emulator of that console at the same time anymore. If you got a PB on EMU and then beat that time on the console it will overwrite it.
I've also deleted the Vita and PSTV versions cause I've havent seen anybody run them in years and we can just add it in the future if it has enough interest.
There is still a few things to clean up on the IL board like adding obvious rules (no inventory abuse for Hunk for example) and removal of some versions that doesnt even have Hunk or Ex Battles (Main scenarios will still be the same)
I honostly thought that this suggestion would have gotten alot of hate (can you blame me?) but I think we have made history.
Happy running everyone!
I've tried to F8 (in and out of fullscreen) in different places and ive found out that you can do that when either skipping a door asap, screen goes black without music for a couple of seconds which will give you the chance and time to F8 and no one will notice. If any flashes would appear from F8ing then this could easily be edited afterwards.
Update: Added rules for Full Game and Ive now enabled milliseconds. As long as people just change the values for hour, minute and seconds then milliseconds .000 wont appear.
Now I will change the times for Hunk/Tofu so only 1 person has the WR and not 3 tied WR's.
Update: all runs have now been copy-pasted from IL to the Full Game Leaderboard. All that remains is double checking so everything is right, adding rules and then the removal of the main scenarios from IL as long as everybody feel conformable with the new system.
If a run gets submitted then I will add it to both leaderboards.
I've also tweeted Speedrun.com about adding a specific platform as default for the "All platforms" varible so only 1 system shows up (might save a few frames when reloading the page MVGame )
Play around with it and tell us if there are any problems.
Hi
Me and StevenMayte have been thinking about the layout of the leaderboards for awhile now and we would like to know everybody's inputs.
Right now all the categories for RE2 falls under the "Individual Level" style which looks frankly like a total mess.
PC, PlayStation (PS1/PS2/PS3), PlayStation (PSP/Vita/Emu), GameCube, N64, Dreamcast, GCN Emulator, these could all just be changed to Leon A, Leon B, Claire A, Claire B and then actually use the platform varible that already exists today (which doesn't serve a high purpose since the Playstation categories is the only ones we might use them for) to change the versions.
Changing it from IL to Full Game will however remove the very first page we always face when we enter this site, the all level/platform leaderboard. I'm not sure how people will feel about this since it displays all the WR's on one page but at the same time it doesnt show the rest of the players right after them. Plus we still got that slider on that page ever since the GameCube EMU got added. Please note that this will only apply for the main scenarios, Hunk/Tofu, Ex battles will still fall under IL and have the all level/platform leaderboard.
Now, I've already created a Full Game Leaderboard for all the 4 scenarios just to test some things, there are no runs there right now and the plan would be to migrate every single run individually from IL to the new leaderboard. I would gladly do this myself but Steven has offered to help me with it.
Another thing that will be changed is Normal Difficulty and Any% will be set as default so ranks will be in order from the start. Regions and Platforms cant be set to default in the settings for this site.
So yeah, go check out the Full Game Leaderboard test and let us know what you think =)
Happy Running!
P.S mods needs to be more active on this site for this game.
Well I guess we either start with making the SRT/Livesplit with IGT script mandatory or StevenMayte is now the new WR holder.
Just added a new guide on how to be much faster in the inventory. Not all people use this or are even aware of it so i thought it would be helpful.
Inventory, HOLD Down, Press Left while holding Down, Release Down and Left This can be faster by pressing Right and Down on like the same frame but if you dont then it will go to SLOT 5 or SLOT 6.
Inventory, HOLD Right, Press Down while holding Right, Release Right and Down
Inventory, HOLD Down, Press Right while holding Down, Release Down and Right
Inventory, HOLD Right, HOLD Down while holding Right, HOLD Left while holding Right and Down.
SLOT 8 is just done by using the SLOT 6 move and then add Down.
