Please explain so I can adjust the video/new PB.

Well. First. The video literally is just noise saying unavailable. There is no vod. http://imgur.com/a/FswIk Second, I didn't realize after until you brought it back up. The game is capped at 60FPS, how the fuck did you get it to 120 and think. Well that's fair. Like????????? Not using third party mods should be obvious????

But since you were so insistent about it being in the rules it is now there.

Also here's a link that mentions that it's capped at 60FPS https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Alone_in_the_Dark:_The_New_Nightmare

Okay I was not aware of the video being unavailable for you, it is not for me :(

I did not unlock my FPS. I simply capped it to make it stable using the same method the HP2 PC community does.

So the game runs at 120 FPS for me. I capped it to stay that way because the FPS would sky rocket when picking up items which lead to the screen where you examine the item being 700+ fps allowing you to skip it instantly.

I have tweaked some graphics settings and have the game running at 60FPS instead now. I don't know why the game was capping it at 120 and after deciding not to use my integrated graphics (Now using my NVIDIA), it goes to 60 and stays consistent.

I feel like a complete idiot so I apologize and will use these settings for my future runs. Thank you for explaining.

I put in the first rejection comment. VIDEO IS INVALID.

The problem is it may not be able to be beaten if you were at 120 FPS and all future runs are at 60 so I don't know if I can accept it?

Like it was never a rule because the game should auto cap itself to 60. I still don't know how yours doesn't cap. I've messed around with pirates and steam version and both cap at 60 automatically for me. I mean if you're aiming for sub 40 anyways and can get that then we don't have to worry about it, but if you lose a bunch of time off the changes and can't beat it then we'll have to remove the time. So I'll accept it "tentatively" for now. Due to the fact that you do plan to beat it soon. But if you don't or can't I'll have to take it down to make sure it's fair for any other runners

The PC version of this game is just a mess on newer systems. The thing is, I never knew the game was running faster then intended. I thought the 120 FPS I was getting was how the game was meant to be played (I'm a dumbass I guess lol).

You where 100% right on rejecting my runs, I didn't realize I wasn't playing the game at the intended speed. The game runs fine now and fixes all the glitches I found while running on 120 FPS.

I'm now doing runs on 60 FPS (The one you accepted is 60FPS) and sub 40 is easily possible with it.

Sorry for wasting your time on this.

EDIT: Would you like me to record the steam FPS overlay on my future runs?

Nah it's fine. I know you, I trust you're doing it right. You've also inspired me to finally fix my game so it doesn't look like this anymore https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DAdHKEpWAAIv52H.jpg So I'll finally learn it like I meant too 2 years ago.
