watch my run vs the wr and you can definitely see why its impossible to beat it.

you have to look at Miriam when she opens the door. I cant recreate the way people are completing the quest before she's done talking.

And the dialogue is longer in the new version aswell.

It's not that, it's that the exploits got patched, aka making the old records literally unbeatable as they were fast, really fast

the start is 20 seconds slower than the old game and the Miriam exploit is 30-40 seconds faster. Thats quite a time loss
