I don't remember ever seeing a web version of this game, only for the first game, but I could be wrong. Your best bet is probably buying it from steam.
A place to document all minor strats that are more or less known. Mainly for Any% but should be a good place to also put Hundo and Misc starts as well.
I Luv LC about half a second faster than the normal way of getting in. Credits: @Frogchip
Practice Swing Zoom just after the bar starts moving, should save about 1/4th of a second per shot. Credits: @Kyle
Clocking Off Locking to 26fps makes H reach his destination almost 2 seconds faster, so it's best to lock while placing the stickies to save a bit of time
Clocking Yeet Saves about 5 seconds compared to pushing strats but the sticky placement needs to be precise and you run the risk of mission fail due to wanted level, overall not worth going for.

Party's Over You can skip Tony's line and trigger the camera cutscene faster by taking a call and quickly going into cover. Also works with "Yo boss, I think they clear out here" line as well at the end of the mission
FPS Locking strats across all missions video by @good___ron :
This Ain't Checkers (~12s faster but could save more if executed properly) The "You already have a weapon in this slot" pop-up in Armando's menu prevents you from warping to him until you either confirm or cancel, this makes it possible to warp with Mori without failing. To set this up, call A right after starting "Bang Bang".
For The Man Who Has Everything (~14s faster, maybe putting a marker to taxi closer to A would save more)
To set this up, call A during "Caught With Your Pants Down" while in the grey area of the "Light Blue Zone" to spawn him in the next closest spot.
you can still abuse fades in this game, even if it's way slower than the original so I don't see a valid reason to add it

Could've just scrolled a bit and you would have seen 1000 more threads asking the same thing but that's just too hard ain't it?
Livesplit has one available to use, simply select the game and the appropriate category (Any% No AJS) and there should be a message that says: "Auto splitting is available" underneath, simply press activate and then go to settings to tick and untick the specific missions for the category that you are running, in your case Desert.
Due to the recent discoveries made by the runners of the game, it has come to our attention that certain things such as Stars (exclusive on the SE version) and the show cards glitch can be carried over onto a new profile/save game. This can lead to a state of NG+ which for obvious reasons shouldn't and isn't allowed in all categories of the game (it leads to runners having an unfair advantage because they can skip certain parts of the game).
Because of this, a ruleset change for the game is extremely mandatory to avoid confusion as well as evening out the playing field for all runners of the game.
The changes that will accour to all current categories of the game are as follows: -All videos that are submitted for a run need to have an empty profile list (deleting all profiles if required). -All videos that are submitted need to show a restart of the game before attempting a run. -Runs that don't follow the new ruleset will be rejected even if the game isn't affected in any way.
Starting March 1st 2021, the updated ruleset will be enforced. All current runs on the leaderboard won't be affected, but runs that will submitted before the changes occur may be put on hold and analyzed fully before accepting/rejecting them, depending on the case. Also the game rules have recived clear instructions for runners to be able to have valid runs.
Very interesting find, I wasn't aware of this because I didn't get to play the SE version that much compared to PE. There seem to be a lot of things that the game remembers whenever we start a new game without exiting and rebooting the game, i.e. NG+. So far it seems that hat colours as well as the show card glitch can be carried over onto a new game, this can lead to runs that have an unfair advantage (Talking about the show card glitch, since hat colours is only a cosmetic feature and doesn't affect anything). I am keen to make a ruleset change in the following days, to maybe enforce all current and possibily future runner to restart the game and deleting all other profiles before attempting a new run.
I would love to maybe see more things that can be broken by the uncapability of the game to clear it's "cache", perhaps we might see the appreance of an "Any% NG+" category on the leaderboards. Thank you for bringing this up, Jay! Really appreacited!
As you may already know, this game was poorly programed and developed , thus throught the years players have been able to find a lot of glitches and bugs mostly by accident. Some are game breaking and result in either softlocks (AI wins and leaves the table) or destroying the entire save file (El Paso matches).
Anyhow, for a while now I have been interested in the weird mechanics that revolve around exiting the game while in a match, and for the past few days I have been trying to figure out what that can result into and if at all could serve any purpose for the speedruns of this game. So far I have learned that simply leaving and entering the game during certain actions can have a variety of results, for example: Exiting the game while someone is busted can result in them returning to the table and still being able to play, all the players (including you) can become ghost players (only the shadow is reflected on the chair), removing players that are supposed to come to the table when enough players have been busted or even players that leave your table, as well as removing both a player that has been busted and the player that won the round.
I do not fully understand how and why these things happen, and I can't put my finger on what triggers what, I played for a while and I noticed different outcomes when doing pretty much the same thing at the same time. If anyone wants to come along in the discovery journey feel free to do so.The setup doesn't need too much explanation, you can see how it works here:
Note: There are a few softlocks that can happen, idealy you would only use this untill you are able to leave the game and still win (4th, 5th, 6th place), It would make sense to only be used in tournament matches, one on one and 5 player matches (primarly the Stagecoach, Train and Riverboat) do not benefit from the glitch as you generally bug the game and you would have to drop out or else the game stays in a softlock-like state. Abusing the exit game mechanic too many times in a row or in uneeded places may result in a solflock or even worse a dead save file.
I also would like to seize this opportunity for a potencial discussion on how to implement this into the current route(s) for Any% and misc runs, and if a separation of categories of Any% with or without this glitch would be fitting
@LordRemyngton has stated that he wasn't able to reproduce the glitch on the Standard Edition of the game, if anyone else can get it done, please let us know.
This thread will be updated with more videos and news on a proper way to achive it and other stuff that comes along with it.
What do you mean exactly? The glitch can be executed just as fast on all game versions
If you mean the Prawn Island bridge, than it works on all versions that exist.
You should convert to Japanese Version, go here: https://www.speedrun.com/gtavc/resources

When editing a game series the explanation text under the Abbreviation bar says: "For linking to a permanent discord invite" the same text which is found for the Discord bar, came across this when editing the GOP game series.
Hello, I would like to make a small request
Can this game: https://www.speedrun.com/Governor_of_Poker be added to the series: https://www.speedrun.com/governor_of_poker And if they could also be put in order, GoP 1 and then then GoP 2
Thank you in advance!
