Sorry, I didn't see this until now. The latest version of the game has some additional cutscenes in the sewers level. This is great for casual play since it makes the objectives a bit more clear for a first time player. For speedrunning, those cutscenes lose some time. I forget how much exactly but its not a lot, maybe 10 seconds or less? Its still faster to play on the old version however.
If you want to downpatch, you can check the pinned messages in the #puppet-combo channel in the Indie Horror Speedrunning Discord server.
You need to travel between the windows. If you have any other questions about what is and isn't allowed in glitchless, the world record does all of the allowed strategies in glitchless.
I didn't see this until now but Sharkhat explains in the first video in the Any% tutorial
It can be any key, if you want it to be a number you need to type out the word (Zero, One, Two, ect.)
As a sidenote you should really join the discord if you have a question. You'll get a response way faster than you will here. No one checks these forums pretty much ever.
Hey @Alara sorry for the very delayed response. Speedrun.com doesn't give notifications for forum posts but no this game doesn't have a Discord server anymore. I don't remember what happened to it.
If you need to reach me the best way to do so is messaging me directly on speedrun.com as I actually get notifications for that
The only reason you would need Livesplit is if the game is on PC and uses a community made script to remove loading times from the run. If that's the case and you don't use a timer, the moderators are supposed to accept your run but with the loading times included. So basically you don't need a timer to submit
If you want a timer for yourself I'm sure splitter is fine although I've never used it myself since I'm on Windows
If I had to guess its probably because your account is less than 2 weeks old. That is just a guess though.
Same server for Outlast 1, Outlast 2, and Whistleblower.
@BattleMooseHat you're allowed to post links on the forums, but a better place to post your discoveries would be in the Dead Space speedrunning Discord community. Here is a link: https://discord.com/invite/BP8TrJ6
I think having the option to opt out/disable the new animation around your icon would be nice. I do like the popout though
