So this is a similar situation to the whole First Class thing, but Squeaky Clean is just faster on other platforms. PC has an invisible wall that blocks you from activating with the virus thing early, whereas people on quest can practically get the antivirus in before it even fully comes out the doors on the side of the building. Either that or I'm just missing something. Just wanted to ask about this since I feel like there may be some problems with multiple levels being slower on some platforms.

Just throwing this out there because I know some people are bound to be curious.

So, I decided that I'd try to determine the fastest possible time (without loads) in an all missions run. This is only with the current skips/strategies we currently know of, or that currently work. I have found some skips that don't work the same way on PC, and I believe that PC is the slowest version by maybe 8 or so seconds, so keep that in mind.

So I realized that time without loads can be calculated pretty easily. In pretty much every run, the time without loads is just the sum of the time in every level, plus 53 seconds.

Load times can vary for each person, but usually the parts of a level that aren't considered loads are the same for everyone, and take up about 53 seconds. It usually ranges from 52-55, but I believe the only reason it varies is because the timers at the end of each level don't go to the millisecond-you could get a 50.00 or a 50.99 on a level and it would still show up as 50, so it can cause this to change a little.

Anyway, looking at the wr for each individual level, then adding the 53 seconds, we get a time of 7:25.

Though some of these runs weren't done on the PC version, which somewhat recently had an update that removed the ability to do some skips.

The skip in First Class to grab the device early is now 2 seconds slower, and grabbing items within the safe is about 2 seconds slower as well.

I also noticed that in the 1:15 run of Squeaky Clean, the runner is able to grab the lid off of the virus the exact moment he uses the copper dissolver. I have tried this multiple times, and I'm assuming it's a glitch that was patched-though I have yet to do nearly enough runs to confirm this yet. Having said that though, if it was patched, that means it would save about 4 seconds over the PC version.

So, tldr, the (maybe) fastest possible run is a 7:25, or a 7:32 on the PC version. Not sure what it'd be for the PSVR version as I have never played or tested that one. I have been looking around a lot for new skips so if I find something this might change.

So there's that in case anyone was wondering.

So in the current first and second place runs, a skip is used in First Class where they go out of bounds and grab the device thingy from way above the train. Which was simple enough, and saves a lot of time. So I tried to do it in game, and it just…Isn’t there. It doesn’t load in above the train.

An update for the game seemed to have released-I know this because it asked me to choose a language when I booted up the game which it has never done before, and subtitles are an option now, in the update they seem to have patched the first class skip, as well as the ability to peek into the safe in winter break to grab things early. How are people still doing runs with these skips? I even repurchased the game on steam to see if I could roll it back to a previous version but there was no luck there.

So I'm trying to install the weapon practice mod using Floating IPS, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. I am using Linux 1.001, and I've tried doing what some other forums on here have said, but nothing works. The program tells me to select a ROM file, but as far as I'm concerned there's not one of those for Undertale. Any help?

So the autospliiter works great, apart from one problem. Sometimes when I accidentally get a puzzle wrong, or right click to leave it, the autosplitter still counts that as a split. Then if I use my hotkey to undo the split, then actually complete the puzzle, it wont count that as a split. This also only happens on some puzzles, specifically all snipes, and only snipes. Which is bad because those are the easiest to mess up. Is this some weird bug, or is there something I can do to fix that?

So I'm pretty sure I've got a good enough speedrun for Jet Set, apart from one thing. I saw people just grabbing one of the fuse things straight out of the cart before it opened. Whenever i try, it only works like...Once every 100 times I grab it at least. How do you actually like do it more consistently

So whenever I try recording the game, it doesnt actually record the game. It just records all the windows behind the game. Any way I can fix this? Im using obs if that helps
