Leaderboard Changelog (March 30, 2021)

There have been quite a few changes to the RB5 speedrunning community in the past few days, and this post is intended to catalog all such changes for transparency:

Major Changes:

  • A new cheating policy has been outlined.
  • A RB5 IGT mod has been created. You can find the download for it in the Resources page, and it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you use the mod for any IL attempts in order to get accurate times.
  • Time now starts on the first completely black frame after selecting or restarting the level, as opposed to the first frame that gameplay is visible. This is so that times are standardized with the new IGT mod. All times (including obsolete runs) will be converted to this new timing method over the next week or so.

Minor Changes:

  • You must now submit your run with the date that SRC automatically assigns.

As far as I know, this should cover all of the leaderboard changes so far. Let me know if I've missed anything (i.e. a typo in the category rules or an inaccurate mistime), and feel free to reply to this post with any comments, questions, or concerns.
