Hello Runners! Very important update for Banned footage DLCs. Salad has recently overhauled the RE7 autosplitter and the following changes and fixes are as follows -

• Daughters has now got an autosplitter, and the timing method has been changed to reflect the IGT rather than RTA

  • The timer will start after the first movie where Zoe is watching the news
  • Good ending will now split at the dinner table immediately after the trailer
  • Bad ending will now split after you get into the car

• Bedroom has also been changed to reflect IGT rather than RTA (There are no autosplits except the ending but they can be made if wanted)

  • The timer will start once you spawn in as Clancy when Marge first enters the room
  • The ending will split when the VHS screen pops up after escaping Marge

I will be retiming ALL the submitted DLC runs to reflect these new timing methods. It may take sometime so please bear with me till it is complete. All PC runs do NOT require the autosplitter to be portrayed on screen but is encouraged. Console runs are still timed via RTA but will be using the new starting methods too. Thank you everyone!

Hi, runners I wanna give a run down of some future plans for the boards. With the new strat revealed, allowing you to glitch with the Shotgun into the closet. I'm going separate that into its own category. Reasons being. Its a very big time savor allowing you to skip locked doors, shaving off a good chuck of time. The biggest/important reason for the board split, it was brought to my attention that you must be playing on a previous patch to achieve this trick. Because of this console players are unable to pull off the strat. You can't downpatch on PlayStation unless you have a disc copy of a game. Paper Dolls is a digital only game so that is unfortunate. Also i'm going to add an additional category. 100% obtaining all collectables and documents of the game.

I will implement these changes within these coming weeks.

How the boards will look moving forward

NMG (no major glitches) - Must be played on current version/patch thus banning the Closet glitch Any% - Can be played on any version/patch 100% - Obtain all collectables/documents

Another thing I want to bring up. There are stronger weapons that you can unlock through the Extras mode. I'm all for allowing them to be used in all categories since I don't feel like they pose a big enough game changer to warrant splitting up more categories. Combat in this game is not a big deal in the sense of enemies tend to die in two or so shots already.

Thanks everyone! and let me know of your opinions or thoughts.

Hi guys! after some thought we have come to a conclusion about Wiggle tech.

for anyone that does not know Wiggle tech is when you use the knife, and jerk the camera/knife when you attack back and forth. This causes a lot of damage and is VERY over powered. Taking this a step further combined with setting your DPI to high can cause some boss fights to die in a insane amount of time, is faster than any NG+ strat out there.

because of this we have decided to Ban Wiggle Tech for ALL categories.

allowing this strat completely changes every single category not just knife only, including routing and item management (eg. NG runs would be less NG, more lets go bad shit crazy with a knife since we no longer need all this ammo)

This new tech does not take any effort or skill and may cause some motion sickness. So to keep this game sane, fun, and accessible to new runners, we are not allowing this strat to be used Thank you guys for you patience while we looked into this.

Hi, i been looking for a copy of this game and was wondering where you guys obtained yours.

Is there a emulator out there for this?

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. I would like to address how we will be moving forward with the next gen consoles arriving very soon.

first things first we are NOT accepting runs from next gen right away.

we do not know how the game will be running, so we need some time to figure out how it is effected and make additional adjustments to the board if necessary.

If you are getting a next gen console please post any findings in the discord or make a post at sr.c. You may DM/Tag me or MattRPD (sr.c or discord) in any findings you feel important so the mods can see to help make the boards fair.

I'll be making a next gen channel were everyone can talk and post all things next gen in discord.

Happy Running everyone!

Hi, I went and looked into the load times for base Ps4, Xbox, and Switch and noticed that there is a big time difference between the three.

I grabbed the top three runners VODs since we are both on different consoles.

here's what I found.

As you can see PS4 is loosing a lot of time compared to the others with the Switch being the fastest. (GG Switch)

This is of the end of the first chapter. Granted I have not looked into if Load times are different within plays or different within chapters and that could be a possibility... i'm willing to look more into this in the future though

Based of the facts of these three videos

PS4 base has a load of 00:06.266 Xbox has a load of 00:01.900 Switch has no load GGs

Since there are 6 chapters PS4 is loosing around 36 seconds (give or take) Xbox is loosing around 12 seconds (give or take) Switch is loosing no seconds (again GG Switch)

My question is this.. Would it be possible to time the runs without loads to make things more even and fair?

note the without loads i'm referring to is the save icon that pops up on the bottom right. since the game is already timed RTA I don't see this being a big hassle.

I would also be willing to re time all the runs if you want. I can do it with Hitfilm Express.

I would love to know your guys thoughts on this :) thank you for reading.

Hello Everyone! Some runners have asked me about the idea of adding the JMP Hp3 handgun on Claire's scenario for Handgun Only. Before we make any decisions I wanna give people the chance to give there opinions about it.

Here's how the rules will show with the addiction of the JMP Hp3

"Beat the game with the use of Handguns ONLY

Leon -Matilda -M19 (2nd scenarios)

Claire -SLS60 -JMP Hp3 -Quickdraw Army (2nd scenario)

All other weapons are banned UNLESS it is the rocket to finish off the Tyrant in Leon's campaign. Use of Defense Items are banned."

Hi everyone, we are on the look out for new moderators.

If you are interested in verifying runs and wanna help out the community more please send me a DM on Discord (YossyHop#3772) or Twitter (twitter.com/YossyHop) explaining why you want to be a mod and what you can contribute from becoming one.

you can also message me on any questions you may have. This can take up a lot of free time, so make sure you have the time before you decide. We will help you learn how to verify runs you must be a runner of Re2 Remake Moderators must have a form of contact method and be at least 16 years of age https://www.speedrun.com/moderationrules

Hi, The Glitched category has now been changed to Any% I moved all the NG and NG+ Glitched runs together into one category. (including your obsolete runs)

Glitched categories are now named "Any% (PC)" "Any% (Console)"

The category will now be a true any% with the goal of running the game as fast as possible.

Also moved it out of Misc. tab hopefully allowing the category to get more attention.

Rules have been unchanged, pulled from the original NG+ Glitched Rule Set. I hope you all enjoy it and with this lets see how fast we can push this category to its limits! :)

The reason why I chose RTA is because the IGT is actually broken.

At the start of the game the IGT begins after the load That is where the RTA timer also starts

So how the timer is broken is this. In the beginning before the first encounter with the paper ghost the IGT is always running, weather you are in the Stats menu (Yin House, Archives, Diary, Puzzle) or the pause menu, it is always running.

After that first encounter the IGT changes to a different timing method the IGT will stop if you are in the pause menu or stats menu.

Another thing is if you die too, the IGT will revert back to the timing method of the beginning (timer always running in pause or stats menu)

It's really strange, So just to keep things accurate, runs will be timed by RTA. where I have the timer start and end is actually the same spot where the IGT starts/ends so it works out well. Also there is only one load in this game, and the timer starts after that load so no need to worry about load time advantages.

Hi, For anyone that is not on our discord I'd like to let you know we are moving the DLC runs from "level Leaderboard" to "sub Games"

We're doing this to organize them a little better and allow them to be displayed more proudly on runners profiles.

We're still in the process of moving the runs (even your obsolete runs too :) ) so if anyone has any DLC runs you'll be getting notifications saying "a run has been submitted on your behalf" don't worry that's just us lol.

Hi, so i hear there's a way to make the elevators go faster when walking backwards or something... Can someone explain to me how that works? :) Im on Ps4

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know (if you don't already) that the "runs awaiting verification" section located on your profile is not working currently. If you submit a run trust that it's in the queue, or if you are really uncertain DM a mod and will let you know :)

For anyone that hasn't heard the news, we've added Handgun Only to the CE boards. https://www.speedrun.com/re2remakece Be sure to try it out along with other categories over there :)

Hi everyone! Since we have seen a boost in new runners I thought it would be a good idea to make a document explaining the basics of things. I will keep editing this document to try and keep it helpful. If anyone has any ideas on what should be added please let me know :)

Hi everyone! With the latest patch making OoB more difficult we would like to hear your opinions on the category since you're the ones who run it. What do you guys want to happen to this category?

• Just End it?
• Reject old patches?
• Accept old patches but mix leaderboard?
• Accept old patches separate category?

Hello runners, In regards the the release of Ghost Survivors We will be holding off on verifying runs from the DLC.

This is so the mods can play threw and iron out any rules or changes that may need to be applied

We wont be rejecting any submitted runs.
