According to the discussion in the discord the "skywalk" trick has been banned in all categories which ban flying.
The maximum fps limit has been reduced from 240 to 120.
All newly submitted runs must have their fps limited to a value of at most 120 and the current fps value must be displayed in the video.
The only current record with >120 fps is No Flying All Chapters in 23:10. As the 2nd best time is a lot slower, it will remain as it is currently until a comparable run with <= 120 fps gets submitted.
- A category gets PC/Switch subcategories, when a Switch run is submitted.
- Load times are not removed.
- Crashes/Softlocks/Quitouts are treated the same as on the PC version including stopping the timer and adding time penalties.
- Keyboard/Mouse is banned. Third party controllers are allowed as long no features or input methods are used, which are not present on original Switch controllers.
- Runs must be done entirely with your switch in docked or undocked mode, you may not switch between the 2 mid-run.
- Emulators are banned.
According to the discussion and vote on the Discord channel the following rule changes have been decided:
-
The FPS must be displayed in runs at all times. You can use an external program like Dxtory or use Gothic's built-in FPS counter.
-
FPS MUST be limited to a value of 240 or less.
