In case you haven't noticed, there's a new resource that shows a tutorial on how to insert your nohboard into your OBS. link to the resource is right here: https://www.speedrun.com/the_foundation/resources/8dqfs
Around a month ago a new rule was introduced by @uchi, showing how you could add fastflags to your main Roblox ClientSettings. Unfortunately, around every week there's a new update that rolls through, creating an entirely new folder each time. Bloxstrap fortunately circumvents this issue by saving your settings even with updating each time.
This is more of a formality than a necessity if you're used to already replacing your files each time, but for the few of you it might be relatively annoying to change each time, so the video link to the tutorial is attached down below. You'll find the necessary links and FFlags in the description, so make sure to look into that as well.
I believe that the FFlags are the exact same ones as uchi presented, in case they aren't I'll make sure to update this in the future. Hope it helps!
due to legacy allowing players to create lobbies up to 40 players, we've increased the player count to 20 players that can be included within a run (speedrun.com only allows a max total of 20 players). This is mainly relevant for the 5+ category in the hotel- aka hotel legacy version.
with the help of our verifiers, main lead by @8y8x and @Nolyswag we've been able to introduce a new layout for the Category extensions that will hopefully not be as confusing as it may have been before. It's supposed to introduce a more clear layout in which you don't have to scroll for ages for the correspondent category you may want to look up records for.
happy speedrunning to you CE-enthusiasts!
hope this benefits everyone here, cheers.
Old runs are not affected from these changes. cheers
make sure to read the screenshot below. if you dont want to read the whole paragraph, the TL;DR at the bottom explains everything as a whole.
We've got a few polls that you guys can vote on in our discord server (see screenshot below).
In regards to the first poll, keep in mind that items in floor 2 barely, or not at all, boost your final time, as they are nothing compared to the items that exist in floor 1 being the vitamin and the lockpick. It's up to you to decide what you wanna vote for that but I thought I'd let you guys know.
Hope you guys are having fun speedrunning the new updated floors so far! Wish you all the best, cheers.
this is in regards to floor 2 releasing tomorrow. since we'll need to playtest it ourselves to arrange specific rules and arrange new categories (for both main boards and CE), it might take a while to publish these, as we want to make sure that the rules are understood in order to ensure that submissions won't have to be mass rejected lol.
either way, this is pretty much it for now, will keep you guys updated! until then, wish you guys lots of fun running the game. cheers

It is also highly recommended that you still join our discord server whether or not you apply as a verifier just cause why not. double the update notification, double the reminder.
The infinite Lockpick bug can be executed by looting a lockpick from a drawer or from the desk in either the item room or the locked item room. What allows you to keep on holding onto the lockpick forever is to basically not enter any closet but hide in a safespot instead. That way it doesn't subtract the usage of a lockpick whenever you open a locked door, which will occur until you eventually enter a closet.
The way to avoid this bug from happening in your runs is to literally just enter a closet for a moment OR even easier, unequip it. that's it lol. Even with the current game being harder than before, we can't really risk a board wipe again if runs are rolling in with times like in the previous update, only for lsplash to fix the bug (which again, would force us to reset the boards. it's something we'd like to avoid)
as for the runs that are pending right now, there are a lot of runs that are pending in queue as of now. If you have a run that has been pending for over 3 weeks now, make sure to DM one of the members, that are part of the staff team for this game, and we'll ensure that your run will get verified as soon as possible. we've all been really busy and drained out from how the game's updates have been executed. we'll make sure to verify the majority of runs as soon as we can.
much love y'all, happy speedrunning and happy holidays for those who have them right now :)
Primarily this normally wouldn't matter as much since we have our forums right here, where - if you want to - can also post various suggestions. However, on discord we can actually have a bit of a better overview due to people possibly being able to react whether or not this is a good idea. Additionally we can set up polls on there to furthermore decide on whether or not we could possibly decide on a category that the vast majority of you guys might consider wanting to add.
You can join the discord server by either clicking on this link already: https://discord.gg/AQaMAUFefs
IF you don't consider joining it right now, you can reconsider that decision by looking at one of the pinned messages that feature a link that leads to our discord server. That's it for now =)
its over doors is dead
deadass i dont know what'll happen to the game in speedrunning terms from this point onward
if you wish, send me the video footage in either DMs or in the discord server: https://discord.gg/BChJHFEFhv .
so there's a chance something else might occur that could temporarily revive the speedrunning side of the game (no it's not floor 2). spoilers? nah you can guess yourself :money_mouth:
