After a closer look at ingame footage I found out there is actually an IL timer ingame for people to use. This is good but also has a big downside to it. The downside being that retiming runs will take a very long time for the moderators/verifiers. Please let me know if you guys would rather have IGT or RTA timed runs.
This glitch is only available on the VR port of the game. In chapter 3 on the section where you need to grab the arm in the cabin on the hill I figured out that you can just clip through the door by glitch walking through it. This means that some thin walls can be clipped through. Maybe some out of bounds stuff can be found. I'll look more into it when I fully complete the game
I was wondering if maybe there were VR only bugs that could make the speedrun faster.
its recently come to my attention that the flying bugs that are prevalent in the ANY% category are entirely hardware dependent (meaning if you have a good pc you do better in the category) The lower your fps are while doing the bug the less speed you will gain and the more you will stutter and lose speed/momentum in the air. I also see that in the demo category devbruhh found it really easy to just fly to the end of the demo in less than 4 seconds. If anyone wants to chip in and say to ban the bug i will but if anyone wants to argue that its technically ANY% and the glitch should stay also chip into the chat. The current problem is that fact that leaderboard clutter is a thing but i will be glad to also make a "demo NMG" category which will separate the flying bug and the actual runs, this is what i did with ANY% and ANY% NMG.
