PC & GCN splitted

So, I want to run BH for PC. But I noticed it isn't allowed to run the game in 60 FPS.

Isn't it possible to split GCN from PC so we can make it fair and also run the game in 60 FPS? I am planning to run this game.

It seems weird in my opinion if the game allows you to run it in 60 FPS, it isn't allowed to do so in a run.

agree with seydie here. It's very weird that the moderator that isn't even in the discord is against splitting the two versions into different sub-cats even if they are very different, and even if, we shouldn't try to make the game slower just to "include" older consoles, in fact especially for this game we should just leave GCN behind

60FPS is banned on PC because it can give you unpredictable speed ups & 30FPS prevents that completely. Even if there was a split, that would still be an issue that wouldn't make sense to allow.

It's the closest way to have any version as a viable method of running the game instead of having to play the vastly inferior PC port just for less loading times, which can easily be fixed by just timing out loading, which is why we have the current system.

There is one PC run on the leaderboard and it's a playthrough. You two don't even have runs on the leaderboard right now.

@exeloar it's the sad cat meme

I guess 60fps would give the run a huge RNG factor, but that'd be pretty weird considering most powerful PCs can just run a game like this consistently, but idk i've never ran this game

is the PC port inferior? would 60fps make the game wayy better or on par, or still worse?

The PC port is definitely inferior. 60fps only makes the game worse due to things like setups not being consistent (1-1 sign boost can put you over the gate, or you can get a speedup and miss the sign entirely, also things like cannon shots don't always bounce right compared to 30fps pc). PC port is also slower overall in terms of runs due to the 3-2 dinos requiring 2 hits, so while 30fps PC is bearable and a good place to start out before moving to GCN, I would definitely not recommend using 60 fps to learn most things.
