Hey Venom, I'd like to move this discussion over to the Rainbow 6 Speedrunners discord, it will have more visibility to the community that way. The link to join is on this SRC page. In short there's a lot of issues that need to be discussed and ironed out before we can separate out categories or do any other work

Very nice run. I peeked through the VOD, 8 hour grind session to get this record, nice dedication. I never played Vegas 2 as a kid but this is probably my favorite level to speedrun too. I look forward to seeing more lone wolf runs from you, AMSAY needs the competition so we can get these runs down to full optimization!

Title- I've noticed some PC runners using modified FOV's in their runs and we don't allow or disallow it in the rules. I have 2 concerns on this-

  1. This gives PC runners a slight advantage over console runners

  2. You could make a slippery slope argument that if you allow these changes to the game files then you could consider other more serious changes like modifying how much damage a weapon does.

With that being said, I don't think this should be banned. I'm for clarifying in the game's rules that you can modify your FOV on PC and we need to create a guide on how to do it. I just wanted to hear what you all thought about this.

I see this has been talked about several times before in the forums but I think the PC and Console categories shouldn't be used for terrorist hunt (and Lone Wolf and Squad Enabled shouldn't be used for story mode, obviously). The existing runs in PC can be moved from PC to their appropriate category, they don't need to be deleted.

As a side note, the co-op terrorist hunt category could just be renamed co-op so co-op story mode ILs could be placed there.

Second side note that has also already been discussed: Could we get Terrorist Hunt leaderboards for all levels, including the night levels? Calypso Casino and Streets are great maps, I was surprised to see they weren't on here.

I'm already moderator on the Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield SRC leaderboards, if you all need help with this or anything else I'm happy to help out.

I'm a moderator for Rainbow Six Vegas and we have one category, All Terrorist Hunts, that gives in game times that we'd like to use. Then there's story mode which does not give an in game time, but we'd like to set this to time without loads by default. I don't see a way to do one for one category and one for the other, I only see how to change it for the entire game (all categories).

Am I missing something or is what I'm describing impossible?

I would hope we could run this game in flashpoint, otherwise this place will just become a museum.

Really, really old thread, but I had a question. Are you aware if there's any way to get this glitch to work on PC? PC base version is 1.00.59 so from what I understand I don't think it's possible.
