It's a turkish image hosting site.

@medi. We cannot help with pirated copies, please buy the game from Steam if you want help. (Korsan kopyalar konusunda sana yardimci olamayiz, lutfen oyunu Steam'den satin al.)

Just saw this lmao.

Fresh account that has no idea what they're talking about, followed up by a teenager who e-stalked another moderator and changed their country on this website in order to make a racist slur.

Low quality bait tbh

Recently there was a change in rules over on the GTA III boards due to a new glitch that allowed runners to rename a skin in order to gain an advantage in-game. This now creates a problem that skins allow you to gain an advantage using external software (OS). Skins that don't come with the game were then banned, along with MP3 files for the same reason.

This glitch is still present in VC, and while it doesn't give an advantage (that we currently know of) it still presents the issue of using external software to manipulate the game. We are going to take the same route as III in order to prevent any potential abuse in the future. There will be a week-long grace period (from the creation of this post) for you to remove any custom skins, and after this we will start rejecting runs that don't follow the new rules.

All runs that currently use custom skins or MP3 files will not be affected. Only those submitted on/after the 15th May 2020.

You can see a full write-up here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vb6jh3hTZHkQyVs2PLBo6E-7QtYKdVuWa5-sp9mZiXo/edit?usp=sharing

TLDR - Starting 15th May, custom skins & MP3 files will be banned. No runs submitted prior will be affected.

this took me 2 seconds on google to find :)

1 - That's normal

2 - Because you unplugged your sound device all the dialogue is being skipped. This is hardware modification and isn't allowed.

If you know the rules then you should also know that we only add categories that people actually do/have done runs of lol

This is an awful decision, and most leaderboard mods will simply not abide by this rule. SrCom staff have absolutely no right to choose who I ban from the GTA leaderboards. As others have stated, plenty of people can be justifiably banned even though they haven't broken any rules on this specific website.

You are a hosting site for communities, not the enforcement team for every speedrun community that exists. We'll be keeping our blacklist and hope that you rethink this decision, if you have a problem with that we will happily find somewhere else to have our leaderboard and I imagine a lot of communities will do the same.

But........... there are console categories?

Correct answers for this test:

1. allow
2. disallow
3. allow frame limiter off

@Nordtecx there's a chance that your urine sample got stuck in the mail due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the mods cannot verify your run without a verified sample to prevent substance/doping abuse.

You simply double click the file and it will change your set file that's currently placed in your documents, nothing else to it.

Assuming it isn't some silly setting like having your music turned off in the settings, I'd imagine that something went wrong during the conversion, so uninstalling & reconverting might be a quick easy fix.

There's a solution already present on the website if you really can't get an actual competitive platform that Derpeth mentioned & as Reloe said speedrunning is more than just trying to make new leaderboards so you can top them for free, that completely goes against the spirit of speedrunning.

God of War is a shining example of this being done poorly, there are barely any PS2 runs for the original because using a PS3 is faster. The PS2 leaderboard has no actual competition and is purely there to pad people's profiles. Your entire mindset of wanting this change for the same reason is pretty selfish, I'm sure I don't need to point out the irony there.

If you can buy a brand new gen console, you can buy a PC that can run GTAV

@Reloe I wouldn't say SM64 is a good example. They split the categories because of virtual consoles & emulators, not because of activity.

@plxq You are choosing to go slow by playing on a slower platform, that's completely fair.

Because they're not top 1 lmao

Fullscreen shouldn't make a difference, I always played Windowed and never had such issues. It's certainly not normal though. As for fixing it, try the usual stuff (reinstalling, testing other games etc).

You should be using the built-in autosplitter, not the one in the resources section. If you cannot even split manually then I'd guess that it's an admin rights issue. Run Livesplit as admin, but not the game. So many people run the game as admin but all it does is cause issues.

"You can submit your raw gameplay, but you need a rought time of the run (+-2s). The mods will correct your time if you are off by a bit."

This is not true, you can submit any time you like and it's up to the mods to ensure it's correct. You'd be surprised at how many runners are insanely inaccurate with their timings.

Simple answer is you don't need a timer, just proper video evidence of the run. As for actually saving the videos, I imagine youtube allows you to create permanent footage from streams similar to twitch's highlighting.
