Make sure you jump on the discord if you havent already - always someone there to help with any questions!

My thinking for M3 is that we split into 2 sections.

M3: Omaha M3: Bocage onwards

This is because of the reload that is done and the challenges involved in correct starting point after reload, recording and load times.

Thoughts?

Can we get to an agreement then on when timing should be for these two levels....

Thoughts please :)

Likely better discussion for the discord but I can answer, as it took me a while to figure it out too.

I reached out to another runner on YouTube to eventually discover the secret!

Basically you have to do a quick save, restart the game then continue with a quick load. When you do this, something is not set correctly and it gives you further grenade distance. This is why the WR run currently quits at the start of the Bocage level and reloads - this is how you do the grenade trick on that level.

Cheating? Absolutely not - its a quirk of the game / engine and things like that are the point of any% runs IMO.

I had a hell of a time trying to do this and ended up using an app on my phone to trigger the splits :(

For recording runs I use Nvidia but it means I have to patch the run together at the Bocage reload because it stops and starts the recording when the game closes...

So excited to get this game active :D Maybe a mini discord to go along with the new level categories?

Amazing news! Cant wait for the ILs and to get my run posted!

Ah perfect - thanks Alzer!

Will get the link updated on the sidebar!

We now have a small discord server for everyone to join!

Pop in and say hello!

I third this - can we make this happen?

I had a few issues uploading to youtube too initially, ended up sticking it through a free bit of video software to compress it down a bit and uploaded nicely.

However once uploaded I think I did have to walk away for a bit for it to appear.

Best of luck with runs on PC - would love to get some activity going here!

Been playing since 98 on Zone / Gamespy etc, figured this was the last place to get some R6 competition these days :)

I assume these runs are all single segment? I only ask as I was looking at speeddemoarchive and the guy there talks about doing it in 6 segments...

I currently have a 3rd place run in a single segment run, no idea where I will find the other 15 mins from!

Hopefully someone can confirm the above and I will continue the grind :)

Discord would be a great idea.

I'm also about to start running this game, after setting the WR for Rainbow Six 1998 I'm ready for the other game I spent my childhood on!

Yeah that helps a lot! Thanks for replying!

One thing I am struggling with a lot is not so much the load times for levels, but the annoying cut back to desktop at the end of each level and the start, costing me about a minute per level at least haha...

Also i take it this run is single segment?

Obviously I see the overall time matches, im just trying to figure out how you did your splits?

Just wondering what timings are counted for the run on PC? Are you just using the ingame timer for the mission itself or is the timer running throughout including loading times? Or just planning phases too?

Curious as I cannot seem to get any of them to match the timings in the PC run...

Cheers in advance :)
