Resident Evil 5 Steam Update
1 year ago

Howdy hey, me again. Thought I'd share some news regarding the Steam update.

From what I can gather at this point, they took some game options from the Switch version of the game and implemented them in PC. This includes the customized camera angle AND auto-QTE completion. We're currently looking into the update more, and as of now, we are looking at NOT allowing auto-QTE completion.

This update also broke the timer, so in the meantime while that's getting fixed, we will not be accepting any run that is done on version 1.2.0. Any run done on v1.1.0 can still be submitted, just a heads up that 1.2.0 is not up for submission at this point in time.

That's all from me, have a great rest of your day :).

Alright, minor testing is completed, and so is the LiveSplit script update that supports 1.2.0. A few things I'd like to note:

We will be allowing v1.2.0 for submissions as of now. This does come with one restriction; auto-completion of QTEs is strictly prohibited. Assisted QTEs are fine, as is the customized camera angle. Previous rules do apply; at the start of every run, v1.2.0 (or v1.1.0 if downpatched) MUST be shown for version verification. Failure to do so will result in run rejection.

Quick side note as well for the co-op runners: At the start of every run, check your settings to ensure that auto-complete QTEs are disabled (both in the menu AND in the game). If this is not disabled, it will result in rejection.

Finally, we're currently keeping v1.1.0 and v1.2.0 grouped together, possibly keeping a separation with a variable. If things become too drastic of a difference between the two versions, they will be separated, so keep that in mind. I will keep this updated as we come across more.
