Getting a specific prismatic trial can be invaluable for unlock-based categories like 100%. In order to not have to wait for a good trial, and then only have a limited time to actually do runs of the category, we allow seeding the trials. To do this, you'll need RunAsDate, available here: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/run_as_date.html
How to actually seed the trial:
- Force-close steam with task manager
- Go into your firewall settings and create an outbound rule for steam.exe that blocks all connection.
- Use RunAsDate to run steam with the date corresponding to the trial you want. (If you set up the firewall correctly, steam should say it can't connect to the internet. Log in offline.)
- From here you're all set, start up Risk of Rain and the trial should be the one from the date you set.
When you want to go back online on steam, disable the firewall rule in windows and restart steam.
Seeing as most everyone was for this change, the Gauntlet category will now accept runs performed on an unmodded version of the game. Using the mods is still allowed, with the Fogbound Lagoon stage now being optional - allowed, but not required.
Vanilla runs still submit their IGT from the results
