The FPS must be shown on screen now to prevent cheating. For example, someone could cap the game at 70 FPS and it wouldn't be easy to notice, but would still speed up the gameplay slightly. You can turn on capped FPS through steam settings, and even through DxTory settings.
Speaking of which, DxTory is a great way to cap framerate. Look it up. It's free.
Also, the pip-boy app is banned from use in runs. There are too many variables for it to be used by everyone, and it is unreliable with connecting:
-Reliable Internet is needed for it, and should never have to be needed for speedrunning unless the category is multiplayer related. -It forces competition to invest in a tablet or smartphone, and compared to the Tingle Tuner in The Wind Waker speedruns, those are much more expensive. -The wireless internet needs to match the network of your wired internet, and in many cases there can only be one PC with Fallout in the network for the connection to work.
I have a few questions about rules :
- Is there unskippable dialogs ? If yes, some languages would be faster and should be restricted.
- Since the keybindings are horrible for non english/qwerty users, would be a key remapper like Autohotkey authorized ?
Keys in menus are not rebindable as far as I know. The 'Q' in azerty keyboards is bound to left, and in menus, it's bound to "favorite item". It's not a big deal though, I'm used to it now, was just asking since I saw many people on reddit using it.
Good job, just a few hours ago i was thinking about why we dont have to show the FPS in the video :) Also @Judgy yes there are unskippable dialogues. But i dont know if its enough to say that everyone has to run a certain language. Also, huge fan of the comp. app rule. I'm exactly of the people whos WIFI doesnt match the LAN so i couldnt use it even if i wanted to
well, after the intro cutscene the only thing i can think of are the institute meetings. So maybe 5mins difference?
Question! What about difficulty? Do we have to keep the difficulty at default or can we change it?
You can play in Very easy, that's what we usually do in Fallout speedrun. Of course, I might be wrong.
