In NG+ you don't have to make a custom tag for the black widowz, you can just have one saved from a previous playthrough and use it immediately to start the SPAT goal.

Yes haha nobody on the planet uses manually splitting haha how silly of me haha :)

"Timing already starts at cutscene skip so I think that´s the way it should be written in the rules."

No, it doesn't. If this was the case why would we be discussing it? lmao

I don't agree with the frame limiter being messed with at all, by enforcing say 60fps max you're just adding extra arbitrariness, and powdinet made a few good points where you'd need external programs to cap it effectively and that isn't good

@Tier4Jean "But still, if THERE IS NO VIDEO for a run - then THERE IS NO EVIDENCE that the run is made without cheating, scripts, cuts, or unacceptable violations of the rules of GTA SA speedruns."

This is absolutely false, there is evidence because a moderator of the game verified it. There is no better evidence than a mod saying they watched the video and were happy with it being on the leaderboard.

If you don't trust the mods, then that's on you.

Timing start

Powdinet already covered the small issues with this, but it's better than what we have currently.

Subjectivity

Enforce it for everyone, only making people follow the rules because they are going for good times is really silly imo. There are known ways to circumvent accidental cheats so if you get one in a run it's entirely your fault and you shouldn't have your run accepted due to some inconsistent strictness. Adding more arbitrariness such as "run will be denied for X cheat but not for Y cheat when done accidentally" is ridiculous. You're on PB pace and have it ruined by an avoidable WASD cheat, if you chose to do nothing about it (Using AHK for example) you absolutely deserve to have your run rejected. Good players going for good times shouldn't be punished and made to follow stricter rules just because they're good.

Edit - MakkeBakke also makes a good point in saying someone who has say a 4:29:59 pace run could easily stall time to push themselves over these proposed arbitrary timeslots. And to anyone saying "nobody will do that" this is SA we're talking about.

All Missions

Something needs to be done, as currently the "All Missions" category doesn't include completely every mission as the title suggests. Personally I've never ran the category and never plan to run it, but having AM that doesn't involve completing all missions is just absurd.

Removing runs without video

I don't agree with this at all, if a run was verified to be legit at the time it should stay on the leaderboard regardless of whether the video still exists. You're removing a huge part of the leaderboard's history by wiping these runs. It's twitch's fault for being stupid and wiping runs, and while the runner is partly to blaming for trusting twitch in the first place, my point still stands.

I told you to actually start the game before and you said it still happened lmao

The frame limiter doesn't take effect until you actually start the game

edit - apparently the instruction written here was way too difficult to comprehend, so to anyone reading this thread in the future Blacklev has kindly written full details on how to start your game just in case doing that is too hard for you.

If we had to make a change every time a vocal minority disliked something about these boards I'd have zero free time to myself. Retroactively changing the city segments every time a change is made in any% is not something I intend to do, and as I said before the only reason it happened with LV was because it was part of a much bigger problem

@Makkebakke, that's a strawman argument. S never said they are completely meaningless, he said to stop taking them so seriously. The LV rule change was done as part of a bigger update, because people were starting with saves that already had toreno's missions completed. This is drastically different than what you are describing, and strawmanning certainly doesn't help your argument

The thing you need to remember is 0 people take LS% seriously :)

Your set file is the problem, you need to remove the JP one

How is this unfair? You're limiting yourself by playing on the slower platforms and that's completely your decision. Sounds pretty fair to me

It's clearly written in the rules that mods are banned aside from the ones listed here - https://www.speedrun.com/gtavc/thread/xjrgi . Sens fix included.

If you don't know whether your game is pirated or not, then it's pirated. Buy the game if you're gonna speedrun it

Is it pirated?

What version of VC do you have?

It's not exactly a complicated process, the converter tells you exactly what you need to do

Sounds like it

That crash address you gave (006f6330) is wrong DEP settings, if the game doesn't work after that then it is something else entirely
