I guess it would be a good idea to pool the new strats in one thread so it is easier to find.

Please note there is a rule change for any% and any% NSG. The real times you have submitted will be changing in the upcoming days to conform to these changes.
Going from what LeakeChan said, longer load times show that using real time isn't the best idea anymore so I'd say move to IGT (still have real time but sort the runs using IGT). Future runners (hehe) should time each level and add them up. I've decided to time all the runs (that I can) using the IL time at the end of each level.
Karl: (Taken from his IL submitted times which he got the same time, I remember) 1: 57.36 2: 1:48.82 3: 1:55.81 Total: 4:41.99
Odyssic: 1: 58.94 2: 1:50.03 3: 1:56.62 Total: 4:45.59
LeakeClan: 1: 58.53 2: 1:47.15 3: 1:54.92 Total: 4:40.60
Benobram: 1: 1:00.01 2: 1:52.77 3: 1:58.98 Total: 4:51.76
Sirotae: 1: 59.89 2: 1:53.06 3: 1:59.23 Total: 4:52.18

Those without times don't have a video anymore, up to the mods what you want to do with those runs.
Welcome! Here is a link, make sure to check the rules. Bear in mind, this is a speedrunning discord, not modding/smalltalk/memes/vehicle talk in the game channels.
Hello, there have been a few threads about making cities into categories and all times it's been rejected so I decided to make a google doc for those who want it.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wuIa-ouRSFEVj-NNK0G-dB2lvOcbBc3Gjt926zHh264/edit?usp=sharing
The first page of the doc has the rules and a link to a form that you submit to.
So far there have been 3 submissions for SF, I've said that if this became popular I would allow someone else to take over for me. So for now, it's just me running this and I'll check it every day at least once.
It's probably best to bookmark the link above to avoid coming to this thread every time you want to submit.
I don't think this has been found but during an all missions run today I was able to walk during the "asset complete" cutscene and grab a package.
Making the thread so people can note down all possible packages that can be collected during these cutscenes.
EDIT: What the fuck is packaging????????????????
Making a new thread because people might not see the old one if I bump it.

We voted to allow memory monitoring software as long as it can be done on on paper: "2 - put "if it can be done with pen and paper, allow it" in the rules, applied to memory monitoring (so that 100% checklist and autosplitters are still fine) "
As you may know with VC, a new trick involves waiting exactly 53.5 seconds and you have 200 MS to trigger the glitch (SORRY FOR THE PIGEON ENGLISH).
I'm making this thread because I've seen in 2 chats now that the autosplitter show begin (and I assume end) the timer when you start the waiting period. I'm fairly sure this is tool assisted in every way but going by the rule we allowed, this may not be considered tool assisted.
Sure you wouldn't count on pen and paper but you could time it manually without an autosplitter, it basically raises a question if this should be allowed and if we should have a vote. Give suggestions below please.
(Sorry if I ramble in this)
Pointed out by Redlof, the game is unstable, he made a point that it would take around ~55 seconds to restart the game and his suggestion is that a crash should add 1 minute to the game time submitted no matter what platform submitted on.
Thoughts from active runners and mods?
Because the game has a really good in game time, all runs will take in game time as the main method (you can still time with livesplit etc...). Some newer runners don't realise that it's easy to work out in game time without going into the stat menu and seeing when the game says you completed the game (yes it has this feature).
How to work out what your in game time is for any%:
Step 1: IGT starts when you exit the house at 6:00 (0:00)
Step 2: When you finish the game, before the game fades look at the in game clock. Whatever that is will be your in game time.

This is current WR so the timer is at 8:08.
Step 3: do the math
Start: 6:00 (0:00) End: 8:08 (2:08)
It took 2 minutes and 8 seconds to beat the game.
For any% NSG and 100%, you MUST show in game time once you finished the run in the vod.
I think we should have a vote to remove "rockstar" from 100% in the name as it is a dumb category name.
In a talk with Kyle, he makes a good point that most 100% categories in GTA games don't include everything so why should this be any different? Leave the rules the same, just put the name as "100%".
basically just post the letter for your vote (and reason why if you have any I guess):
a) Rename to "100%" b) Keep "100% (Rockstar)"
Just making a thread all based on this glitch, I feel if we find a way to trigger this safely on actual hardware, it will seriously break any%.
This may be a long process but any findings will be good.
Facts so far: Can't take blow up dolls after dupe passing volatile situation due to game crashing (Gael managed to get past blow up dolls I believe though)
Post all findings here, there is a google doc but anyone can edit it so I won't link it yet in case people mess around with it.
Story so far:
I found out you could remote access a sub mission (turns out you can ONLY do this with a firefighter):
Bubblebobbler got interested and started to experiment soon discovering you can run into a rampage with a stored sub mission, as you run into the marker you let go on the stored mission. It starts the rampage but fails the sub mission, this will keep you in the rampage but at the same time kick you out of the rampage mission so you can start missions.

Confirmed on: PSP, PS2 so it isn't just an emu trick.
Compare mine and MH's time, 5 seconds faster Real time but still the same IGT? Surely it should be different and I'm not sure why it is like this.
Just wondering if this strat has been thought about? The only problem I can think of is if the VIP gets in the same side as the taxi driver
