A change has been made to the leaderboards, with the result being that almost all IL's are empty when one's viewing the list. However, basically all IL's were accounted for, be it without using 3rd party caps, most even with frame limiter on.

I want to kindly ask you to please bring back the missing IL's.

Thanks in advance.

Title says it all OpieOP

It's really nice that all the main and meme boards have seperate leaderboards for the original and remastered versions.

It would be really nice to have it for the IL's too. There are some significant differences between the 2 versions.

Also, there's a minor inconvenience when submitting a run which is the order of the platforms. The vast majority of people running this game plays on PC, yet for some reason PC is the 7th option down. Maybe place PC on top, then do the rest alphabetically or something like that?

Title says it all, I guess...

I would love to see a highly skilled player complete this game as quickly as possible, glitchless.

Share all your strats, shortcuts and optimizations here!

I will start off by posting this video about the useful shortcuts I found. These are all doable on easy mode, where you have the items at your disposal, but also the lowest vehicle speed.

MANIPULATING ITEMS: You can quite accurately select the item of your choice on the Wheel o' Items through knowing that the wheel if stopped during the first few rotations (before it starts to slow down) will take exactly one rotation to stop. So, if you need a Jump, press 🔴 to stop the wheel when it's in the front position where the wheel will stop. It will stop exactly one rotation later.

The items you get on the Wheel o' Items are dependant on your race position, or more accurately the time difference between you and the race leader. Pandora's Box and Wonder Clock will appear more often if you are nearer the back of the pack. In testing, I found that Jump will not appear when in first place.

I added a FAQ to the resources section. It's not completely accutate, but it seems to contain useful information.

It may have been better to put it under guides in hindsight, but I'm too lazy to change it now OpieOP

This post is not meant to attack anyone - I am trying to address an issue that's been around for a while now.

The moderators here aren't showing much - if any - interest in helping out people by answering their questions in the forums, actively being involved in discussions, or solving problems.

I checked the moderators' forum posts and both of the mods haven't posted more than 1 or 2 messages/answered any questions in the forum in the past year. I know KZ is going through some shit rn so I don't wanna step on him or anything, but he wasn't active on these forums either back when he still was supermod.

I have the feeling that the mods here are more involved in other GTAs and not really interested in SA - which is absolutely fine - but it should also ring a bell that we need more involved people as moderators! People who actively run the game, and are checking sr.c forums regularly (even once a week would be a huge step-up from the current situation). I think it'd be nice to have at least some mods or verifiers that are remotely interested in the game, hence I suggest bringing in people that run the game, or are actively involved in the community otherwise.

I'm at least glad KZ added 123Robot and DiskoSpider as verifiers - they seem to deliver good work and I hope they will start to be increasingly active on the forums and maybe be installed as moderators soon™ (if they wish to become moderators obviously).

Just a few examples of "pending actions": https://www.speedrun.com/gtasa/thread/34ka2 https://www.speedrun.com/gtasa/thread/shivd

Making decisions is hard - I understand. But there are hardly any responses from moderators in these (and MANY other!) threads, and nothing is done. No decision is made, no action is taken. Can you guys please get more involved, or try to find people who are willing to be more involved? There are plenty of people who are quite active in the GTA SA community. Ask around!

Again - this post is not meant as an attack. Just meant to address this issue.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

These two video's are about shortcuts, driving lines and so on, all across San Andreas. Shoutouts to the MTA racers.

On the IL's Against All Odds, Local Liquor Store, Small Town Bank and Tanker Commander, at the moment, the timing starts before the actual mission starts. Timing now begins on starting either First Base, First Date, Gone Courting or Made In Heaven missions.

Do we want to keep it this way, or do we want to change the timing to contain only the mission itself, instead of the preceding cutscene/mission?

Any thoughts?

I installed the game following these instructions: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1135681015

My game starts. Intro screen shows. Menu shows. From the moment I press New Game onwards everything is transparent. I first thought it might be the intro scene with Gunman on the train. But I waited it out and after departing the train (Major Archer? Major Archer? Major Archer?) And gaining real control - I still can't see anything. It does set the correct resolution for the game, but it doesn't show the game - as if everything is transparent.

Any idea what causes this, or how to fix this?

When clicked, this links to "illuminati7777.eu" but it only says "peace" and there are no savefiles available there anymore.

Someone might want to reupload some saves.

Obviously Josh' run should not be in the same category as Reset's. So I suggest you decide on a name for the glitch and do the same as in the VC leaderboards. Call the new warp Any% and the "old Any%" Any% (No <insert whatever name you decide on here>).

Makes perfect sense right? Thanks for taking the time to read this.
