Pennsylvania, USAStarted a new game on a new profile and got the same glitch on 360 version played on Series X. This time, we were barely a minute into the mission when Emily turned to me and said we lost him. It started me back at the police station. Despite starting the mission at exactly 2200, we started back at the police station at 2300 causing me to have to smoke (and then eventually, when I ran out of food, fast travel to the hotel to sleep and eat). Had to go all the way around another 24 hours to run the mission again. Which at that point, it was clear I was about 20 or more minutes off my PB.
I also ran into a new glitch on another playthrough....got to George's at a little after 2100 (maybe 2120 or so). It wasn't raining. George wasn't home. Smoked until 2200. Not home. 2300 - not home. 2400 - now it's raining so of course now he's not there. Went through almost an entire pack of cigarettes and all my food. He never arrived at home. I had to restart the run (which at that point is over an hour in for me since I'm slow).
On a side note though, acquiring Quint's car in Chapter 8 before heading to the gallery does seem to save time in the long run. Unfortunately, all the glitches cancel out all that timesave for me personally but if I could ever get a run together without all these glitches, I think the car will save a good bit of time. I may move back to the Switch version just because crashes are easier to deal with than the stuff I've been experiencing on 360/Xbox Series X.
Anyone else ran across issues with the mission where you follow Nick and stay about 50 meters back?
I was attempting to run the 360 version the other day and, now that it's happened, I realize I've experienced it on PS3 and Switch as well. What happens is, you follow Nick and you're almost to the end of the mission and all of a sudden, Emily turns to you and says "We lost him" and then it starts you over back at the police station.
I was exactly 50 meters back which is where the "blue" color starts. If you're closer than 50 you're in the orange (which leads to red I believe). If you go back further than like 100 you'll lose him I think. So, I tend to stick right at 50 for the whole mission.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is there a solution or is just another glitch/quirk that we have to put up with when running this game?
Oh and I should also point out that this time I was running the 360 version on a Series X. I think last time this happened was on a PS3 using the Red Seeds Profile version of the game from Japan and then before that it would have been the US Switch version of Origins. So, it doesn't seem to care about platform lol.
If you can get 1 other person in addition to you that want that category I'll add it but Demo% is (in my opinion) a pointless category. The only time you would need a Demo% is for something like Resident Evil 7 that had a demo different from the main game. For a cheap simple puzzle game like this where the demo content is the same as the main game, a demo category is completely pointless and just hands a free world record to someone that won't buy the game.
So while I do not like, nor do I approve, of Demo% as a category, I will add it if you get 1 more person to request it. But I want to see runs from BOTH of you if I add it. If you get a friend to request it and I never see that 2nd run get submitted, I reserve the right to remove the category. I want 2 runners to prove there is more demand for it. I'll be happy to add it if that requirement is satisfied.
@starsmiley I'm not sure how else to explain it. Games that are part of a series (like Silent Hill) have a series page. You can access all the games from that page. Lust For Darkness (the game I moderate) is the first game in a series. The second game is Lust From Beyond (as a side story they released Lust From Beyond: Prologue and they released a Lust From Beyond Demo).
But when someone submitted the Lust From Beyond games to speedrun.com, they didn't mark that the games were part of a series. So now, there is no series page despite the fact that this is a series of games. Beyond is the sequel to Darkness. Any time someone submits a request for a new game on speedrun, they're supposed to mark if it's a new game or part of a series. Whoever created the pages for Lust From Beyond, marked it as a new game instead of part of a series. We need a series page.
The Silent Hill example: https://www.speedrun.com/silent_hill
Hi, I noticed that somehow pages were created for Lust From Beyond: Demo & Lust From Beyond: Scarlet without making them part of the series. I moderate Lust For Darkness which is the 1st game in the series. Lust From Beyond (which was just released today) along with Scarlet & the demo together make up the parts of the newest game in the series.
For whatever reason, the Lust From Beyond pages were not created as part of the series. Can we remedy that please?
Which encoder are you using for streaming, and which encoder are you using for recording?
Then it has to be OBS rendering lag. That's the only other explanation. It's gotta be one of those 2.
The game optimizes itself based on your systems resources but the game does not understand that you are going to be streaming AND recording at the same time. Lower game settings below optimized. That should resolve it.
Pretty sure the mods did that because it's a consistent starting point whereas some people start moving immediately or some people wait, etc. That spot with Kate's voice is a always at the same time for everyone though. It just eliminates any minor inconsistencies. That's what I was told anyway.
I like it anyway because with that fade in at the beginning of the game it's sometimes hard to tell when I can move. It causes issues with starting time because if I'm not sure I can move yet, and I start the timer, then I have to reset it before I can move. It's just a pain starting it at the moment of moving on fade in. Kate's voice gives everyone the exact same starting point no matter if you screw up on start or not.
I don 't think the mods are interested in adding it for some reason. But I ran glitchless for a month or so a while back and I had a lot of fun with it. There's some runs up on my channel.
I've never deleted mobile save data before but a cursory glance online shows:
Go to Apple Menu >System Preferences > iCloud. Select Manage Storage. Look for the game in your list of iCloud App Data and select it. Choose Delete Documents and Data–this deletes that games data from all Apple ID connected devices
Not sure how reliable that is though since I've never tested it myself. I'll let the mods answer the question about adding Mobile to the platform list.
The 100% world record times are backwards
The larger time right now is the In Game Time but Real Time should be the larger number. Pretty sure someone just entered them backwards.
The one on the stairs going to the pill puzzle...I get that no matter what I do. I was told on the PPSSPP forums that it was an issue with the way the emulator handles the flashlight. But that doesn't explain why it only happens in that one spot. Either way, I definitely get that issue on every run but so does almost every other video I've seen on the leaderboard. I didn't even know you could get rid of it.
Picture within a picture thing though feels different from that scene. Because I can get the picture in a picture problem to go away after a restart sometimes but then the texture in the pill hallway is always still there when I get there - every time without fail. That hallway is just something I've gotten used to being in every run at this point.
The picture within a picture thing is confusing though. I wonder if it's trying to put the game in it's original resolution but then upscaling it and then somehow the original version (not upscaled) is showing up in the corner. It almost seems like a programming error to me.
So, I had this exact same issue back when I was running this game full time. 9 out of 10 of my runs, I would start the run and then when I got to the burning house, suddenly I had a picture within a picture. It's kind of faded into the background and you can barely see it but it's in the upper left corner and it's literally just an exact image of what's happening in the full picture.
I have scoured the PPSSPP forums looking for a way to fix this issue and haven't found anything. Sometimes it randomly goes away and then I can do 1 or 2 runs and then it comes back and I end up having to restart 10 times in a row to get it to go away. And that includes completely closing PPSSPP and re-opening it and re-launching the game.
At this point, it's gotten so annoying that it's making me not want to run the game. I actually really enjoy 0rigiins but it's this emulator issue that's just driving me insane.
So, my question is: has anyone else that's using emulator had this issue? Any ideas how I can fix it? I'm desperate to get this issue resolved. I definitely don't want to submit a run that has it so it's just killing my drive to speedrun this game. I posted an image on Twitter so you can see what the problem actually looks like. Just look in the upper left corner.
I'll have to watch the video. I tried PS2 for weeks and couldn't make a ton of progress with it. I was knocking off a few seconds here and there but it wasn't a huge increase for me so I ended up quitting that version. I'll have to see how PS2 jumped ahead.
Category is up. Run for the Hills% (that's the name of that ending btw).
Yeah I'm adding it. I had to work today and hadn't had time to watch someone do it to determine the place where we end time. Looks like it'll be on the gate at the end just before credits roll.
I had tried to play through and get the ending last night so I could figure all this out but I kept screwing it up and wasn't able to finish a run so I'll just go off what I'm seeing in other videos. Same start time, end time at the gate you click on before credits roll.
We'll adjust if needed after some testing.
The wiki says " Installing the Windows Live application is mandatory to install the game but not necessary to run it."

So, I know you can't be using the G4WL version to speedrun the game, but if it's required to actually get the game to install, then maybe you need to allow it to install (if at all possible). They did say on the forum (https://www.speedrun.com/re5/thread/639bo) that you must "include the screen where "Leaderboards", "Play Game", and "Records" are displayed to prove they are on steam." I think if you end up having to install G4WL but you can prove you're playing on Steam, you should be alright hopefully.
So I guess the real question is, can you install G4WL just to get the game installed properly? Then, load it up and make sure you can see those screens I mentioned above (leaderboards, play game, records)?
I just checked mine. I haven't played this game or done a speedrun of it in a little while (I used to run some of the DLC). It played fine for me. I also have "none-opt out of all beta programs" selected.
I'd recommend uninstalling/reinstalling but obviously something went wrong there. What happens if you right-click the game and select PROPERTIES then LOCAL FILES and then VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES? Does it try to download anything?
Yeah that version is fine to speedrun. All official releases should be perfectly ok to use.
