United StatesXbox one users rejoice, for I have found a new flying glitch method that's safe and easy and works potentially losslessly for late game.
As every speedrunner knows, some platforms are better for games than others. This holds true with Revolver as well.
From careful research and analysis, speedrunner Mashun has managed to figure out that the Xbox Series S/X and xbox one family of consoles run Revolver fastest, with the original xbox being the next best console. PS4/PS5 and Ps2 are the absolute slowest consoles you can use.
On the newer xbox models, revolver also runs at 60 FPS. That might make a huge difference.

About a week ago I noticed someone finally beat my primitive attempt at an act 1 DLC speedrun for this game. Just today I check my profile and somehow I noticed I had WR again because the run got rejected because loadless timing didn't work.
Why didn't the mods just manually retime the run? Like, I get you guys might not have much time to do so, but in my honest opinion the point of loadless time is to make it possible for every console or computer to be able to fairly run the game and have an equal chance at WR. If you guys don't want to retime a run to make sure the loadless timer is correct or retime console runs to put everyone at a level playing field, what's the point? And especially with how few runs are done on consoles anyways, I don't really understand why those runs weren't retimed either. Like, my runs were retimed, but load times weren't removed. You guys looked at my run, evidently.
I know my name doesn't mean much here since I've only submitted a couple runs and don't do anything for this community, but I still feel like it's a bad precedent to set by retiming pc runs and using a loadless timer for those but not for other consoles.
So, dunno if anyone here was aware of this, but there is a category extensions board for this game that's not linked btw.

It's existed for a while and also has categories for some of the other red dead games.
