Door Clip

¤Definitive Edition Users¤ Door clip has never been produced on definitive edition to my knowledge.

Door Clip - Specs: AMD Radeon HD 6950 Drivers 15.200.1055.0 (Info provided from Dalanarr) DirectX - ?? Game Version - 2.1.437044

I will not approve runs including door clip unless it can be reproduced consistently across most machines. I would like for this to be possible, but right now I cannot reproduce door clip. I was once able to produce it but have since lost my ability to.

If you can get it to work, give us all your information about graphics drivers, card, graphical settings (including which directx version you are using). I ask that anyone with the game, and any version, attempt to reproduce it.

If you don't realize how to do it by watching the video, you basically toggle your graphics settings from a low setting to a high setting (which in the video causes the doors to reload temporarily disappearing from the world, but that doesn't always happen)

Quick update, I managed to reproduce the glitch again, however it required the toggling of HD textures on and off. If anyone can get it to work through that way, let us know here.

Specs: GTX 970 DirectX - 10 Game Version - 2.1.437044 REPRODUCTION METHOD: Enable HD textures and run into the doorway. (You can also disable them, and extreme/high details have HD textures as default)

After some research I've confirmed (unless someone can disprove) that HD textures are what enables this glitch. From now on I will refer to this glitch which enables door clipping as texture reload, as it has other properties (such as resetting certain environmental kills and respawns certain world objects such as benches, although that last one has no use outside of shits and giggles).

Needless to say I'll be accepting runs that utilize this glitch from now on.

Magikilo and I have been discussing this glitch and we've come to the decision that although the DLC is free and doesn't have any intended gameplay altering components, it is still DLC and thus runs utilizing this glitch are using DLC and are therefore DQ from the any% category. My pb I had on the leaderboards has been reverted to my run which qualified for DLC.

Races: No Major Skips Rule Modifications Discussion

The new proposed rule would be to reject/modify runs for races that don't have skips and are submitted in the no major skips category.

My motivations for this are a variety of reasons you can view in Discord or in the thread, overall I believe it will improve the quality of the leaderboard.
