Englandjust throwing in a +1 to using RTA, IGT in this game is weird and scuffed.
RTA is gonna be subject to general weirdness surrounding PC hardware but I still think it's the better option long term. Basically, I expect timing to be sort of scuffed either way but since IGT ticks during cutscenes but not during shop menu it has like no worthwhile advantage over Loadless RTA in this game lol
any method that makes the game lag a lot will work but alt+enter and alt+space are the two most likely to work with some consistency
Hi, boring housekeeping thing and I'm not even sure if this is the right place to ask but can I get ParallaxDG removed from supermod on basically every Silent Hill game? I can't do it myself because supermod and none of us have heard from the guy in literal years. Seems like the last time he even checked the site was 3 months ago.
Idk, it's an unusual process when someone sorta just drifts off, I guess.
[quote]Hard is indeed the "Normal" mode of SOR4[/quote]
What does this even mean?
i think the Normal mode is called "Normal". If Hard mode were normal, it would be Normal. It isn't normal, because it's Hard.
Hope this helps, since you seem to disagree with the developer's own opinion of their difficulty labelling and also the concept of words meaning things.
i mostly think default settings adds unnecessary complexity to run verification since it's hard to eyeball which settings someone is using to begin with and I only ran default settings because it was like that to begin with. I'm of the logic the ruleset that is the easiest to enforce is best, which sounds lazy but it makes a certain sense because it removes reasonable doubt from mutual runners.
I'd just gravitate to whatever goes fastest, which would probably mean easier settings yeah
i don't check the forums especially regularly but yeah I'm with Bling, the IGT in this game is balls and produces totally insane results and i'm completely unsure why it's the default for this board when there's been a general lack of coherent explanation for how it even works.
we didn't even know what bits counted and didn't until I did messing around a couple months back. RTA is subject to the oddities of hardware, but also literally every playstation game is and there's not even much proof the IGT isn't subject to that same weirdness it's just harder to tell
edit: fair warning though Bling, PS3 loads really slowly and is pretty much the worst option possible for RTA'ing PS1 games
ok we're going the requesting an entire new leaderboard route from my conversing with the other PC runners, so actually nothing needs to be done here. ball's in sr.c's court now.
[quote]Punchy, I'm not sure why you are being hostile when I openly admitted that I have no control over this, that I do not seek to force my will upon you all, and that I am probably being selfish.[/quote]
I don't really intend to come across as hostile but I also don't really feel the need to mince words since I do think the entire thrust of your argument is empty sentimentality and I find it a bit eye-rolling and obstructive to the point of what's being requested here. If you knew it was selfish, I'm not sure what type of reaction you were expecting from people who didn't ask for it. It's especially agitating because you are the only person who can make changes to the board and it's something I know can be done in under 30 seconds if you just felt like it.
I actually understand your feeling pretty well (I feel a similar sort of way about the Crash and Resident Evil remakes lmao), it's just weak grounds to base any sort of argument about board structure on. That's blog material, not leaderboard mod stuff.
Anyway, since most of us agree it needs to be split, you can just....do it, really. Category split on this page is fine.
Sorry about taking so long, but yes, I agree, I've created a subcategory for Glitch or No Glitch use.
Please tell me if runs are in the wrong place, I haven't checked all of them yet.
yes that can be a possible direction to go in quite easily and probably should be the direction taken
speedrun leaderboards are not really the place for pseudo-academic self-preening bloviating about the nature of re-releases of classic games. I understand your feeling, Grav, but it's also completely irrelevant and kind of selfish?
they're literally different games with different content, under pretty much any definition it'd qualify as a different category if not an entirely different game leaderboard. However you, personally, feel about it doesn't really factor into it.
I'm honestly inclined to argue in favour of the 2020 port being its own leaderboard entirely since as a port it behaves fundamentally differently and has extra content, not unlike the separate leaderboards for the newer Unity ports of the original Doom.
something ought to be done either way, a split is fine too, but a new game board is a possibility worth exploring.
edit: it's definitely possible to do either of these things with minimal effort but someone has to go bug Grav about it I doubt he checks this shit much.
there is no PC version of this game. what the hell are you talking about
yes this means the RE1 boards are also wrong, pass the memo along

there's also this post by Aaron which indicates that 1.11 isn't exclusive American consoles. Actual PAL and Japanese consoles have it too. It's smack at the top of the RE2 leaderboard forums too. 1.11 being banned for JP runs is silly, real consoles have it.
Sweet, thanks.
i don't get what you mean by "hopefully this is resolved soon". you're the person who resolves it. we've kinda given you the evidence.
also the specifics of the IGT are kind of secondary to the fact that emu still runs wacky compared to console no matter what timing method you're using and there is a ridiculously large body of evidence to back that up.
but you're not sharing any results of your own and just saying you're "working on it" and more or less threw a hissy fit at my results because I didn't ask nicely? Like, don't lock the thread on an in-progress discussion, that's rude as hell. Especially since I actually did the research that you apparently wanted in the first place?
bruh I wasn't trying to make it personal but there actually isn't a reason this has to be a process, there's a fairly well established body of evidence from dozens of other communities on this very topic, you're not special. You could in fact, split it instantly.
The "value" is a tricky one because it's not going to be the same across different configurations obviously unless I go pointer hunting and I don't think it's reasonable to ask me or my friend to basically create the tool for you so you specifically can understand it? Comes across a bit entitled, man.
