Hi there,
the patch released yesterday 1.01 fixed the door glitch used in the current "Any%" category, now it is impossible to replicate. I may be wrong, but I'm not able to replicate the glitch anymore after the patch came out. I was able to do it on the previous version 1.00.
I would personally suggest to eliminate the current "Any%" category, make the "No Major Glitches" the main "Any%" category and ban runs using the patch 1.00 (and so the door glitch). If the game had a physical copy I would not suggest this change because you could reinstall the game while not installing the patch update (see for example "Any%" category of RE2remake), unfortunately the game is only digital so nobody can "compete" in this category on Dawn of Fear anymore.
Hello fellow runners,
I would like to suggest moving Leech Hunters from IL "Level-Leaderboard" to the new section "Sub-games".
I think it is more appropriate, the section was exactly created for this purpose. I mean Leech Hunter is not a level of the main game RE0. Other moderators are moving these kind of Mini-Games/DLCs under that section (also in the Resident Evil community).
Take for example RE3, RE5 (Mods moved Desperate Escape and Lost In Nightmares a month ago) and RE7: https://www.speedrun.com/re3/games#unofficial=on https://www.speedrun.com/re5/games#unofficial=on https://www.speedrun.com/re7/games#unofficial=on
You can read the communication from RE5 Mods as well here: https://www.speedrun.com/re5/thread/04ytw
One additional point on this matter is that it was pointed out to me that Mods can probably choose between two types of "Sub-Games":
-
Minigames/Gamemodes: https://www.speedrun.com/re3/games#unofficial=on
-
Expansions/DLC https://www.speedrun.com/re5/games#unofficial=on https://www.speedrun.com/re7/games#unofficial=on
Probably in the case of Leech Hunter the first is more appropriate.
This is particularly good for runners because mini-games gets more visibility, a dedicate image and leaderboard, and good for mods because they can give separate moderation to sub-games different from main leaderboard. This is what happened with RE5 indeed.
Looking forward to receiving your feedback.
Cheers
Hello folks, I would like to suggest a couple of changes to the leaderboard, in order to have more consistency with the big brother "Resident Evil (Remake)" leaderboard and have more clarity and fairness overall.

I'm not a "SD Console" runner (..yet), but I find it odd that "SD Console" is under "Miscellaneous" while in RE1HD it is not. I think it deserves a place outside "Miscellaneous" just like PC, PC(DS) and HD Console, also because this can easily put-off potential new runners.
-
Again I'm not an "Emulator" runner (..yet), but I believe "Emulator" should have its own separate category under "Miscellaneous" just like RE1HD has. The fact that a category it is not clearly stated can put-off potential new runners. Also I don't think it is fair to mix-up "Emulator" runs with SD Console runs.
That is just my two cents. I look forward to receiving your opinion.
Happy 2020! Cheers
I was considering to buy this game on PS4 and speedrun it eventually, but why isn't Console separate from PC? Surely PC has a big unfair advantage over Console (see FPS etc..) and this put off me and potential console runners away from this game. It's pretty rare and unusual not to see this separation. Furthermore, games that have this separation usually have an equal amount of submissions PC/Console, while games that don't have this separation usually don't receive any submission from Console players (becasue what's the point on learning the game and make an effort right?). I hope you will consider it.

Would it be possible to have new level-run categories added to separate Desperate Escape Josh/Jill runs as well as Chris/Jill runs in Lost in Nightmare. The Solo route is totally different depending on the character, but at the moment everyone will always choose Jill in DE and Chris in LiN. Does it make sense?
