You lose about 2.5 seconds for each change so it's a matter of doing your own math. Best case scenario getting 1 change after getting 6. With 4 changes it may be not worth (because you are not guaranteed to always improve the rng). Too lazy to do the math myself.

If the timing differences favor the gog runner then it can't just be mixed in with existing board (which a slower timer would imply)

It's also true that, being the current legal version, it would be nice maybe for those that own it to be able to submit their runs. I'm not sure if Sourcenext+Rebirth running better in some ways is enough reason to not make, at least, a separate board for it.

It all depends on if you mind wasting like 20+ seconds between the fight itself and crafting the ammo for it, compared to knife strat which is faster overall.

For runs over 44 minutes that shouldn't be an issue.

After some time I could test RE3 on Windows 10 and today it crashed. Opening the game with W7 compatibility stopped the crashing for now, idk if it's a permanent fix.

I have talked to Gemini and it looks like it's an issue with the patch on windows 10, on windows 7 it never crashes.

So today I did a Leon B run which was pb in the end, but this happened:

In the middle of the valve cutscene I realized that had the srt closed so when I went to open it, windows UAC prompt opened too and it made the game stop for a while.

Because nothing is written in the rules I just wanted some clarification about the pause thing.

Rebirth patch allows to clic outside the game whithout pausing it but it does not prevent things like what happened to me.

Yes

So there is no way to move the old times to the new section right Anyways good idea.

@Ezkimmo That's funny, because at that time I was against tools that fix the rng precisely because I thought that people could use that to cheat, or make it easier. And when I was given the patch to test, at the beginning I wasn't a big fan of that option, for the same reason. But I changed my opinion. The fixed rng of Rebirth, when it's on, has sound cues in a couple rooms (basement/before basement/hydrant before rpd is broken) so you can tell if it's being used or not. I don't know if that's enough to stop cheaters, but the thing is that it's rare to see people cheating in this game, afaik there is only 1 runner who has rejected runs because of cheating.

"So making the game something completely different and also making it the main category is completely fine with you @re_duke? Really?"

Wait wait.. no. Maybe I express myself wrong. I don't want to replace anything. Just to have it as a new category But I think the categories aren't popular by themselves, they are popular because the runners choose to run them. Again; if the runners prefer it, what's the problem with that? Still don't understand why are you so scared of it.

"If there are tons of submissions there it wouldn't take long for the question to come up: "So now that favorable RNG % is so popular, why dont we make it a main category" ?

I talked about this with some runners and some of them said that it would be a boring category. And I agree with that at some point, because the gambling part this game has, is one of it's big hooks. But still, if we get to that point, if the mods don't let that happen, no problem with that.

Btw, I can't see the problem with it being more popular than any%. If a new category attracts new runners and keep the old ones into the game, it can't be bad. Why not accept it, if that's what the runners want?

"why exactly do we need a leaderboard for that?" That why CE exists, I guess.

Hello. Now that the rebirth patch has been approved, do you thing it's possible to add this as a new category in category extensions? what do you think

Right click on livesplit - edit layout - double click on scriptable autosplitter - and make sure you have open the autosplitter for your category there.

Right click on livesplit program - go to compare against - check that Game Time is selected instead of Real time. Also, open livesplit as Admin.

The program we use is Livesplit, and we use a different split depending on the category, which you can find in resources section.

When you extract correctly the patch, it show on the title screen "speedrun edition".

Thanks man. Is there a chance to add Leon hp/Boss hp?

Some doors change depending on the events. For example, if Nemesis chases after power station then there is 1 door in the save room after that, that becomes slow.
