thank you very much^^

Yeah, that definitely helps a quite a bit^^

I would love to check out your videos, but it seems that there's nothing available aside from one speedrun 3 years ago. And yeah, i definitely don't play around with it in casual runs, but i'm definitely interested in it from a technical point of view, especially when it might be usable or at least be necessary to be aware of for speedruns.

As for the version, that's the reason why i'm asking, as the category rules list the release date of a version, while the download guide lists the manifest numbers. I tried to find the manifest numbers on steamDB to maybe see, when they got released, but i'm either too unfamiliar with the site to find it or they've removed the manifest numbers. As of now i might just do a run with the version i assume being the right one, but i guess it would be easier for everyone if i use the right one right away.

The Any% with hack cooldown mentions, that the best version is one from a specific date, is that the one called "old patch/with hack cooldown" in the "updated guide to download old patches" or is there a 4th version that i need to be aware of?

And some other questions:

• how exactely do the hackcooldowns work? i've a hard time seeing any pattern in it, especially regarding random hacks with the hackcooldwon

• is there a minimum time for when Lucas can show up in either normal or 1337?

• and i've seen some videos of Insym explaining, that picking up the dongle and placing it down is changing the hack and police timers to a lower amount, but i didn't quite understand, which time it gets set to exactely. Is there something i need to be aware of, so that i don't accidentally run into the police?

You can hack WPA2 by first writing the crack command, but with an added 0 at the end after the channel. The game will tell you, that it's impossible, but keep doing this with as many networks as you want to be hacked. After that exit wpa2 and go over to wep, where you can cycle back up to the commands you've written earlier and directly crack them without an error message.

As for the versions it's probably one where you can do the door glitches, which could save a few seconds, but given that the Top3 all ran down the hallway normally, you should be able to be competitive with pretty much any version, as long as you're lucky enough with the best red spot.

nice, thanks. I'll look forward to it

Sorry if that's not the right place to ask, but i've a question about the unofficial 1.22 patch.

When playing today, i switched off 3 lights after Lukas triggered the motion sensors and it took me ~8 seconds to switch them all on again, yet on the next time i exited the PC Noir killed me.

So my question is, how exactely does the fix work? Is it still bugged or was i just too slow?
