Looking through the past threads, I believe the last discussion of multiplayer speedruns on here was around 9 months ago. Did the rules ever finish getting updated? Or are multiplayer runs still off limits?
finished not completely, check out the mp rules from lost island its the latest version - most of the discussions are moved to discord (yeah, I'm also not a fan of that...)
if you have any question just ask
Can the run be done on a non-dedicated server, or do we have to host a dedicated one?
What do we do if the server crashes or there are technical problems in the middle of a run?
difficult question, if it crashes - restart it (same as for beginning the run - host first than the rest of the runners) - technical problems are case by case (depending on the problems)
if the server crashes multiple times, there might be a bigger problem, that should be fixed before actual doing a run
Do you think there will ever be a category for runs specifically on non-dedicated servers? I only ask because I think some interesting strategies could come from abusing tether distance mechanics.
if there are enough ppl interested in nonded runs, sure why not? but currently we only had (besides of you) one other runner who just ask out of curiosity.
Ah, alright. I do think I'd like to do a non-ded run if rules are made for it. But if other people aren't interested, I understand that it'd be kind of pointless to make them for just one or two people.
