As some of you already now, I worked recently out how high FPS affect the gameplay.

Here are my detailed results for it:

Can a mod kindly explain why there are for all AutoClicker categories runs with 0.001s that don't even have a video and don't have a user who played it?

Even that is against the game rules when I read through it: Your game audio has to be heard in the recording what means there has to be a video as well.

Sometimes it can happen that in CC+FPS M18 the pins at the end are glitched out, or some animations are missing like the one that directs you to the cutscene. The problem is just till now it is not re-produceable stable what means you save time others can't save, but even when you do the CC+FPS M18 fly it is pretty unfair if your run is then invalid, so it will be re-timed by us Mods.

So now to the re-timing. First of all the re-timing requires from the same user a run of M18 with FPS counter to make sure his cutscene skip time is the same not lower by a lower frame rate, otherwise we can not re-time it.

With the animation skip to the cutscene: Then I go there take from the run that was working the last frame were he had the USE prompt on the last (double) pins. Then I take the duration from that till the end of his M18 Segment. Then I go to the run with the cutscene animation skip take here the last frame where you are able to see the USE prompt for the last (double) pins.

Example for the re-timing This M18 attempt had no glitches: This M18 attempt got that cutscene animation glitch: Last pin USE frame from the working one: (time step is 1:48.33) Last frame from the one with the cutscene animation glitch: (time step is 1:48.53) Now to the "maths" My final time on the working one was 2:37.74 so 2:37.74 - 1:48.33 = 49.41 (time from the animation - the end of M18) 1:48.53 + 49.41 = 2:37.94 --> final re-timed time Basically I did it like this End time of the working M18 - time from last USE input frame we can see on the last pin = time from the animation - the end of M18 Then time of the last frame were we can see the USE input on the glitched animation run + time from the animation - the end of M18 from the working run = final M18 time

I just saw this game on the Speedrun.com front page and asked me where you can run that game on/ how you can emulate it? I would add to the leaderboard a link to a website where you can play it only or some kind of guide how you can run it with an Emulator This probably helps the game/ the leaderboard a bit getting new runners

Since the Real Time can be given but don't has to not all runners tend to use this function of LiveSplit and are just adding a time to it that it is filled.

Now for us Moderators the Real Time is actually quite important, for example

• to see if somebody uses an HDD, they usually have loading times from 8-10 minutes.
• if we wanna compare the loading times from a user he gets during different runs.
• if we wanna re-time tram times.
• if we wanna re-time the fade-in and fade-out times
• if we wanna remove the time that gets lost to crashes or frame/ slow motion bugs. Another reason is that you could just join two runs on the loading screen together when you pause the timer.

So all runs in the future that gets submitted to any All Missions category have to display the Game Time and the Real Time, this rule does not affect ILs.

How to set up LiveSplit to display both times

1. Open Live Split
2. Make a right click and click on "Edit Layout"
3. In the new window opened press "+"
4. Select "Timer"
5. Then select again "Timer"
6. Double click on the new added timer
7. Change the "Timing Method" from "Current Timing Method" to "Real Time" Here is a clip how you do it

Here is how you can get started with the speedrun category CC+FPS

You should set up basic speedrunning things

• MouseWheel use https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F_7Ivqr3aV-gXnYcslM9jpEe4G0L4soW/view?usp=share_link
• Maybe LiveSplit
• maybe the language patch (Not required for Kitty mod)
• limit your games FPS to 275 with the Nvidia Control Panel

Now are coming the CC+FPS exclusive set ups

1. Download Bandicam https://www.bandicam.com/downloads/ or any other FPS limiter and install it
2. Open Bandicam go to game and then to the point FPS
3. Set up an individual hotkey to toggle the FPS cap
4. Select your FPS cap, I suggest using 8fps but from 5-8fps everything should work Note: on 8fps are some flies not possible what means you have to change before doing a fly the fps to 6 or 5
5. That's it basically now you can clip through doors, just toggle before a door the fps cap and press a few times crouch till you're through

To the Clip technics, pre crouching and soon I will create a video or add it below that but I need some clips where I can show what happens with what without

We recently found out that we can Pre-Cut some doors in M15, M16 (the observation one) and in M17 (the first door + the terminal + the terminal code door) We added for it as a sub category called Pre-Cut that means you can Pre-Cut the doors in an earlier mission (I will uploaded the Pre Cut saves not that everybody has to recreate the pre cutted saves) Time calculation for Pre-Cutting:

M15: 0:15 M16: 0:15 M17: 1:15 =1:45

That is all time you can save with Pre Cutting (M15 is normally done during M12 since it is just 1 second time loss but the other Pre-Cuts just make you loosing a lot of time)

Note for the Vanilla runners: This is only for Kitty: Isolation the Vanilla Moderators decided against allowing this and the M17 thing is not possible since the door where in M4 the humans are running through that closes behind them is opened by default

It is with all known Alien: Isolation Mods the same way If you have any question feel free to send me a Discord DM or write under this Thread

This is the 7zip file I created for the uninstallation of Kitty: Isolation (only for all non textured ones) Just download it and extract it like you did it with Kitty: Isolation

Here are all shortcuts from Kitty Isolation Redux mod compared to the Alien Isolation vanilla game (all time saves are approximate):

M1: 2:40 You can run directly to Verlaine M2: 14:50 Entire M2 is skipped M3: 0:58 Flight Recorder cutscene is skipped + hack door is opened M4: 0:42 Hughes cutscene is skipped M5: 0:35 Kuhlman's dialogue is shortened M6: 0:50 Explosion cutscene no longer happens (door to exit is unlocked) M7: 0:07 Compression Cylinder Elevator is faster M8: 2:30 Elevator is opened + Arrival at Solomons is skipped M9: 10:47 Entire M9 is skipped M10: 0:46 Waits dialogue is shortened near start, Ricardo opens exit faster M11: 1:15 Entry torch panel door is opened + robot vent is opened + Ricardo's dialogues are shorter M12: 0:45 Torch panel/code door in Seegson Synthetics is unlocked + Tram and elevator are faster M13: 1:00 Tram is faster + code door is opened + Apollos vent hack isn’t required M14: 1:20 Elevator transitions faster, and reactor purge sequence is skipped M15: 7:30 Anesidora is skipped M16: 9:30 Doors at the beginning are opened + Door near Ricardo is open immediately + Spacewalk is skipped M17: 0:04 Canteen blockade rises slightly faster M18: 1:00 Trams are removed + being able to run during the spacewalk M19: 0:05 You can run = 57:14
