That argument was had outside the realms of the GTA community, and the runner involved has been banned from the GTA discord for a long time. Not sure why you've jumped through hoops to blame the community for it.

Useful tools you can use during runs:

• dinput for fixing your mouse not working in-game
• VC Mouse Fix for fixing y-sens issues, and the game resetting mouse sens every reset
• Use this method for Xbox360 controller support
• Cursor jail to keep the cursor inside the game (useful if you are playing fullscreen)
• Windowers (dxwnd, d3dwindower , 3DAnalyze )
• SKeys or NohBoard for showing keyboard inputs on recordings
• 100% checklist
• GTARadioPlayer
• AutoHotKey (Allowed to create 1:1 rebinds only)

Other useful tools you can use for practice and testing but not during runs:

• Quicksave
• On Mission Flag changer (For III/VC/SA)
• Cheat Engine
• Vehicle Saver

The forum thread seems to have been wiped, I'll make a new one shortly.

Found one

Not a lot I can do when nobody else does anything actively. Locking this since you can't actually bring up any points and just make it a shit throwing contest.

"mods are trash because they allow memory manipulation in a category that's always allowed memory manipulation" never change, SA

Classic SA, ignore all arguments and just act like 3 year olds lmfao

The whole point of the category is to beat the game as fast as possible using memory manipulation. You're essentially asking to allow some memory manip but not others, which defeats the entire point of the category to begin with. Why can't you just run what you enjoy instead of needing a meaningless leaderboard to care about? The category you're proposing is laughable levels of arbitrariness.

and deleted their post xd

Submitted runs with cheats is just wasting the moderator's already limited time, common sense helps a lot here

Did you expect them to be booming within a day? lol

Since the IV segments were pretty dead since their implementation, there were no concrete rules in place. This has been changed to disallow runners skipping missions you would usually do in Any%.

This change will allow the segment categories to reflect their intended purpose.

• First Date requires the completion of Bleed Out
• Uncle Vlad requires the completion of Concrete Jungle
• Roman's Sorrow requires the completion of Search and Delete & Easy as Can Be

This is known, people were talking about it today. Nobody has found a fix except simply undoing the update to windows. If you search "update" in win10 you can go to 'View your update history'

from here you can uninstall the most recent one for the time being until a proper solution is found.

Are you deliberately ignoring my posts here? The answer to your question is in the second post on this thread, and it's in the rules of the leaderboard. Use some common sense.

Have you considered looking in the respective games for their splits?

If you don't have the decency to buy a game you're going to be putting a lot of hours into, you shouldn't be speedrunning at all.

Also please don't necro a thread from a year ago just to post an entirely unrelated question. Either make a new topic or join the GTA Speedrunning discord.

Not having the PCJ for the next two drives will easily lose all the time you gain from this strat, not even factoring in the lost time from making a clothes replay.

Positives

Arcade room was great, very popular and allowed more space in the main rooms without annoying sounds like quick and crash all the time. I agree that more focus should be put on the rhythm games if possible, as ones such as Groove Coaster were very popular.

Tournaments this year were spot on, I'm glad that it was handled properly and there was a huge choice to pick from. Having a dedicated stream for it was fantastic.

Street Boyz was a great amount of fun, I of course understand that it got very rowdy at times but I believe this is simply due to nobody expecting how popular it was going to be this year. The setup moved into another room when asked, and it was much better. I don't think this is anyone's fault, more just a learning process for similar things during future events.

Negatives

I was already sceptical to begin with regarding having both streams in the same room. I was running a short technical game during a very hype run on stream 1 and I couldn't hear myself think even with the headset on. My co-commentators couldn't hear a word I was saying for the most part and commentating & concentrating is extremely hard in these circumstances. This layout will likely work for long chill runs that don't have much in regards to technical tricks, but you cannot have short technical runs on there because it is almost impossible to play well with the noise of stream 1 so close-by.

Way too many races this year, they became tiring very fast and lost the magic as others have mentioned.

I agree with Becci in that the music playlist seemed very limited, so expanding that in the future would be great if that's possible.

I also agree with NocFrost about the Twitter spam and spoke to Edenal about it during the event. I found it extremely annoying and it looks like others did too, even going as far as to unfollow the account. While I see that as very extreme, I definitely think that tuning it down is a good idea. This year the tweets got tiresome very quickly.

Points that are not positive or negative

Regarding the practice room, I had no issues with it. Yes it was packed, but there was always a PC I could use to practice even at peak times. Most of the time I had to ask someone if I could use it, but they never had an issue letting me take priority. I understand that some people are not comfortable doing this, and there is definitely a point to be made for expanding in this area. However it's pretty simple to see what someone is playing, check the schedule and if it isn't there just ask to use it for stream practice.

Rubbish is always going to be a problem at these events, people don't put their rubbish in the bins. This cannot really be helped in many ways, but I would like to thank Barbie for going around the main hall and collecting rubbish. It's not a nice job and I appreciate you doing that! (This goes for anyone else who helped with the rubbish problem too.)
