Does this game have any type of quicksave functionality that could be used for segmented runs?

United States

The game does have quicksaving but I think its F8 and F9 by default. Just for some clarification quicksave and quickload are allowed in RTA. Would only be segmented if you actually did it in different sittings or segments. Although I am sure you just meant for the sake of making it easier to segment out.

Yeah, exactly - record a segment, then quicksave, quickload as many times as necessary to get a good next segment, quicksave, repeat.

Can you have multiple quicksaves at one time?

Also is there a listing anywhere of currently known strats/skips in the game? Specifically any quicksave/quickload tricks?

I'm considering doing a segmented run of the game.

The game lets you make hardsaves as well which will probably be better if you just open the menu and save.

You can take a look at the RTA run: https://www.speedrun.com/tron2.0/run/mr81qx7y

There is also a really old segmented playlist that someone made a long time ago but has some strats.

There are some differences such as in primary digitizing when you lose all your stuff there is a strat where you hit the upgrade roomba without opening the door but its basically only segmented viable.

I know this thread is 4 years old, but I never chimed in on the idea of segmented runs. It would be useful to know what the actual fastest possible times are on a level-by-level basis, however it wouldn't really work well as its own category on the speedrun website. This is because your subroutines, upgrades, and version number all carries over from one level to the next. So a WR pace for a level might be dependent on what you have brought with you from previous levels. For instance, Power Oculus has a skip that requires a version number of 3.0.0 or higher with all upgrades put into health in order to perform the skip. So to get a WR time on that level would require playing previous levels to build the version number to 3.0.0 before the skip would need to be performed. Honestly, the best segmented times would likely come from 100% completing previous levels in order to have the highest and best upgrades up until that level.

I don't think segmented runs should be its own category, but doing segmented runs could help you to practice levels that give you the most trouble. I have hard saves for all the levels with "skips" in them so I can practice the jumps. Two examples of a hard save I practice a lot is Thorne's Perimeter Partition and Thorne's Internal Partition. But the best recommendation I have is to just sit down and do a run all the way through and then work to improve from there.
