@Peanut Yeah, I had to reinstall Windows as well. Tested it twice. 1st time I had a backup, 2nd time I didn't. But that was my own fault.

If anyone is ever gonna test this themselves, Back your stuff up.

My guide might not help.

1. It's outdated. I'll get around to making a new one soon. It's on my list.

2. I don't think it covers the Unity port set up, this guide was made pre September 2020 patch.

The only Doom port with a consistent setup for that trick and never fails is OG Xbox.

All other ports are inconsistent. There are easy ways to get it to work, yes. All strats for that trick are currently not consistent.

Best way to execute it is to just SR40 into the gap facing forward and to the right a bit, and wiggle til you go through, and pray you actually go through.

@oneeyeddeacon I did that too, twice, and it did not work. So did a few others. That works for some people supposedly but not all, and is not a viable fix.

There is nothing wrong with the download link itself, it's what is hidden in the games files that you need to be worried about.

Having them on your PC is fine. Installing the game however will install an anti-piracy protection program called Starforce silently on your PC that does not work properly. When you install the game, it will ask you to reboot. When you do, your PC will fail to boot windows because of the Starforce drivers.

Here is what windows says the issue is in the log file in system 32: Boot critical file c:\windows\system32\drivers\sfsync02.sys is corrupt.

Repair action: File repair Result: Failed. Error code = 0x57 Time taken = 1359 ms

Repair action: System files integrity check and repair Result: Failed. Error code = 0x57 Time taken = 938 ms

More info on it here: http://library.monx007.com/computer/starforce/1

I used System Restore to fix my PC. Safe mode does not work, as the sfc driver is designed to boot even in safe mode. It will kick you back to the auto repair screen, and tell you Windows can't fix it. At least that is what happened to me and one other person. Keep in mind, if you do not have some kind of backup for your stuff, you are pretty much screwed in terms of keeping your files. (unless you know something I don't, which is very likely lol)

You can also use the Windows media creation tool which can be found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

You will need an external storage device with a min. of 8 gigs to install windows 10 on to reinstall on your PC if necessary. Doing it from the computer might not work. Didn't for me.

I know I posted this partially on an existing thread, but I feel like this needs to be it's own forum post, that way if someone happens to download it, and don't know what the fuck is happening, at least this is here to provide SOME kind of solution, or at least point someone in the right direction of one. I wasn't gonna post any of this because I thought I might have done something wrong, or maybe just my own bad luck, but some people in my Discord tested it out as well, and they had it happen to them as well. Same issues.

TLDR; Do NOT download game from resources, will make pc go brr. If it doesn't happen to you, your pc got lucky to live another day. I, and my newly destroyed PC envy you.

This just happened to me as well, I thought my entire PC was fucked but luckily system restore exists.

Should remove the game link until it's figured out. Nobody should have to deal with that.

Sucks cuz I really wanted to learn this game for PC.

Edit: Had someone else test out the download and it did the exact same thing.

Here is what windows says the issue is in the log file in system 32: Boot critical file c:\windows\system32\drivers\sfsync02.sys is corrupt.

From the research I just did, it's basically a copy protection software called starforce that's installed silently without you knowing, and it's corrupt. Causes PC's to not boot due to a failure to read data, and makes your pc think it's a hardware issue when it isn't. More info on it here: http://library.monx007.com/computer/starforce/1

I used System Retore to fix my PC. Safe mode does not work. It will kick you back to the auto repair screen, and tell you Windows can't fix it. At least that is what happened to me and one other person.

Hope this is helpful to anyone who suffered through the agony of a dead computer because of it.

Controller category

Not sure if it's the ads or what, but holy crap the site runs significantly worse than it ever did. Slow as hell and am constantly having to reload the page just to get it to load.

If you wish to play Project: Unity, click on the following link to download.

That would either be classed as controller remapped, or 3rd party. If you are using movement in a way that is not intentional by normal means, then it's considered 3rd party. If you are remapping your controls in any way like what you are saying here, that would be considered controller remapped. We do not have plans to add gyro controls as an input, as nobody ever uses it because it's not a useful tool for the speedrun.

Find IL's that are simple and that you find fun. Learn their route, look at current runs to see how others do it. Eventually, move into full game stuff when you get comfortable.

For IL's the in game timer is used. For full game/episode runs, use RTA with either livesplit or whatever other timing method you choose. Timer on screen is not required since all mods retime every run.

The last race isn't unlocked until the first 5 are completed, that's why we don't count it in the any% run. We put it in the 100% run since it's a locked map at the start, where all the others can be played in any order.

Would like to request moderation for the original Doom 64 leaderboard. Moderator has been inactive for about 8 months, is also inactive on all attached social media accounts as well. Runs don’t require verification and I am noticing invalid runs are able to just be put on the board, with this run (Hectic IL in 3 seconds) being an example: https://www.speedrun.com/doom_64/run/z50wwjgy.

In the event a run is needed to be accepted for verification, I don't have a full game run but I have an IL run I did a couple of months ago (Staging Area in 44 Seconds) which can be found here: https://www.speedrun.com/doom_64/run/mr4q42dz. Running full game is on my list of games to learn.

I am currently a moderator for other Doom games including being a super moderator for Unity port of classic Doom which is a very active board, so I do have experience with Doom and moderating it's leaderboards and will be adding moderators from the doom 64 2020 board to help run it as well. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Not looking very hard because we have quite a few guides on a number of things here on this leaderboard lol to answer your question that's in the title of the forum post, strafe running is just running at a 45 degree angle, that's it. To answer the question in your post, just rewatch the run and use a stopwatch of some kind if you really need to. Or while doing a run, use a program called Livesplit. It's what most speedrunners use to time their runs.

What Letterbomb said. Online multiplayer doesn't exist, and it would clutter the board. If online gets added, we will consider it.

It's a bit tricky to nail. It's a void glide, with the pinky kinda acting as a wall. You need to get in the corner, and get the pinky in front of you to block you from moving when going through, then just kinda build momentum and pop through. It's very annoying. It took me about an hour to get this IL because I couldn't figure it out either.

Strafe running is just running at a 45 degree angle. For SR50, in Unity, it's literally just the same thing. It has auto SR50 unlike source ports, so you have the advantage of having max speed at all times when moving (controller being controller dependent though) without having to deal with holding multiple keys down and having your angle locked like on source ports. For more info on all of this, feel free to join our community Discord where we can help you with anything you need help with.

If we were to add it, it would be on category extentions. While I'm not against adding it, it may clutter the board. So for now it's safe to say no. If we get a larger demand for it, we can revisit the idea :)

@the_kovic Yeah we have to be fair with other consoles. What would ACTUALLY be really useful is an auto splitter that splits for you when starting, finishing a map, and ending the run. That way you don't have to bother with splitting, AND it's RTA.
