Your lock on strength was set to max. Please set it to the middle

You guys are fucking insane jesus christ LMAO

you guys are fucking insane LMAO

Do not worry, you are fine. The game is still in Early Access so it is understandable for the game to have crashes. We are not going to fault for you this, but I would suggest contacting someone in the Half-Sword discord server to see if you are able to find a fix!

We've had some concerns about this run so I wanted to explain them here.

The reason why the final part of the video (the final battle) and the rest of the video is different, is because at the start Novasov is playing on Grotesque, and for the final battle, he is playing on Gentile.

This is due to, as he explains in the video, a FATAL crash that happens for him. We are allowing this run for that reason, but for other runs please play with Grotesque settings!

Thank you!

You have convinced me, so it has been done. Enjoy!

Any mods, no matter what they do, make runs invalid. You are still tweaking the game. Sorry :/

We have already decided to keep the old runs. Sorry for not locking this post!

yo sorry, been a weird week with the mods. Just fixed it!

i mean if you wanna grind a multiple hour run where if you die twice (abyss and normal match) your run dies go ahead. It just doesnt sound fun :/

No. We are not going to run that category, because from my own playtesting and several others, to keep it 100% honest, it seems like SUCH a PAIN IN THE ASS to run. Because it would be clearing the "story mode" of halfsword and beating all the bosses in gauntlet. Which seems like hell, and not fun, so we arent doing that anytime soon. The last thing we need is some bullshit long category ruining the fun.

I've also noticed that issue and I have no idea why theres so much lag now :/

Yeah sure, fine by me! Just use freemode tho please for all speedruns as it's far easier than doing the normal game

What? We ARENT abandoning the site whatsoever! I literally said that this is NOT the end, we just need to change a few things! I literally just got a run from the new version that i was going to accept but they didnt show their game settings :/

We are NOT deleting this page.

Hey guys! Hope your day is going well!

I wanted to ask for the community's opinion on whether we should:

- Merge old runs with new runs (from the most recent update and onward)

Or

- Archive the old runs and start over fresh.

I'm more so leaning towards the first option, but I wanted to ask first, so PLEASE REPLY DOWN BELOW with whichever you think would be the better option!

Thank you!

Still, it's limited as hell to do, and only allows people WITH the playtest to run the game. Talking with McWonderBeast to see if they can fix this cause it not only ruins this place but also the other halfsword speedruns

o7 gamers.

mcwonderbeast in the discord said this. I honestly dont know what to do for right now, so we might have to pause these runs and this entire playtest section, because well, to put it bluntly.

You cant really submit runs for the playtest if it doesnt exist anymore..

there's no rule against using first person for no death%. Just do it if you want, we arent making a new category for it lol
