There's a pretty lengthy discussion about it on SDA if you want to check it out

https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/the_guardian_legend_100_ss_nes.html

Lag is fine but it sucks if it happens because IGT doesn't slow down as well, so it's time loss purely because of terrible optimization from Capcom. Try setting v-sync to 0 and you could see some improvement

IGT isn't even listed anywhere in the game, it should be common sense that RTA is used

Glitchless would never be added as it would only serve to exist as a slower version of the speedrun due to no ditman, which takes no skill at all

You can filter the other stuff for the leaderboard, such as fps

What I said has nothing to do with whether or not people can do speedruns prior to the leaderboard going up, it's calling out the mods on using a shitty excuse to not have a leaderboard right now. The leaderboard is a community resource and injecting your personal bias into why one doesn't go up doesn't make any sense to me. Let people submit their crappy WRs for a brief shot of fame, they won't last long and the community will laugh at them. But the mods shouldn't be denying people the chance to submit at all because they feel the same way.

People have already finished the game and strats are being refined, regardless of it just coming out. If you don't want to watch runs yet because of spoilers, that's fine! But there are people that do want to watch the progression of the speedrun and waiting an entire week makes no sense when it's evolving very quickly.

I never said anything about meme categories, but any% should have a leaderboard right away since it doesn't require any specific rules except beat the game

Waiting a full week seems like a pretty strange decision. Regardless of how you feel towards day 1 speedruns, it's still a speedrun regardless and shouldn't be disregarded. Obviously spoilers can be a concern, but then why did you sign up for mod knowing people would be wanting to submit runs as soon as possible?

Let the community judge people flaunting day 1 WRs, but it shouldn't be up to your personal opinions to disallow submissions in the first place.

You might want to try opening livesplit in admin mode, I have that issue when I use autosplitters in other games

I'm also assuming you are playing the Steam version since it doesn't work on any other one

lol

Hey everyone, we've had a lot of submissions coming in that we've had to deny due to not following the guidelines. It's fine if it's a small mistake like putting in the wrong time or difficulty as we can edit those submissions ourselves. Things such as submitting a really long VOD with a ton of content not related to the run or not showing difficulty/end screen with photos make it difficult to determine the validity of the run and ensure it's going to the right place. We are glad so many new people are taking interest in speedrunning RE4, but to make our jobs a little easier, take a look at Sleepwalker's thread below before submitting!

Was it similar to this?

IMO it's not too useful during TT since you'll be going faster with monkey bullet by doing the state normally, but I could see it being good for Graveyard

All runs are done on pre-scale maps. There's an option in the game properties on steam to change to an earlier version, which will give you access to it. I'm unsure which version it is, you can just go down the list until you find it.

You can fix that by changing the keybinds, I have my map key set as accept instead so it doesn't trigger that cutscene. I have morses pastebin saved at home, I'll post it once I get on my computer tonight

I haven't done this specific strat myself since I just turn the boat around for the 4th hit, but I believe it has to do with aiming the harpoon to the right so you also get pulled to the right, then aiming left to hit him before you get staggered.

I personally did #2 before we learned how to hack our steam inventory. Waiting for eggs to appear was way too boring.

If you play 60 FPS, it is highly recommended that you disable v-sync as you can see a lot of slowdown during high intensity areas or drops to around 50-55 fps, which can cause a lot of time loss over nothing. RE4 doesn't have an in-game option to disable it, so you have to do some extra work:

1. Access the config file in Documents/My Games/Capcom/RE4
2. Change the number next to V-sync to 0
3. Access your graphics cards options and ensure v-sync isn't being forced on for all applications
4. Profit!

This probably isn't news for most runners, but I had no idea about it since it's not obvious what could be causing slowdown. Hopefully this helps out!

I can't watch the video because it's private, but the switching between controller/keyboard happens whenever the keyboard is being registered as pressed. Maybe your controller is trying to do keyboard inputs too?

I mean, any run in which you have to kill chickens should be a main category tbh

NG+ is what you can consider any% since it is the fastest category, but using common sense w/ the different innate categories RE4 has leads to how we make up the leaderboard and that doesn't include a standard any% category.

Race channel is up, we'll be starting in just over an hour
