GermanyHey there,
so like in other games, Doom 3 actually has the capability for other categories than Any%. The following categories could be interesting:
-
100% (All PDAs and all Video Disks): This Category would be easily veryfiable since the PDAs and the Disks show in the inventory. You would need to load up the "Excavation" Level and show your inventory after the completed run+time. The "Excavation" Level itself would have to be watched for verification, since there are some last items to pick up.
-
Nightmare Any%: This is THE standard hardcore category. But I assume it won't be run by too many people, if any.
What do you think about this? Do you have other categories in mind (Is low% viable in any way maybe?)? If there is not enough people interested in these categories, they probably are not going to be set up on the boards.
Thx for your opinions greetings qd
Hey there,
I tried to set up a macro for the outsiderskip via jump on the last frame of the cutscene before but for some reason was unable to get it.
Can someone maybe explain how you have to set it up to get it working? A guide for that also might be very helpful since it is a major skip. If you don't have a free scroll mouse, it's also pretty inconsistent.
Thx greetings qd
Hello,
I've got problems setting up the HL WON version. When i have the cd key of the Goldedition I own verified by steam, it looks like the game is transformed to a steam version. Trying and installing Halflife by autorun fails when pressing "install". The setup doesn't even start. Compatibility in the properties doesnt work either.
What are the specifics about what game you use for the run?

Hey Ewil, alright! I was joking Kappa This is just a really nasty Softlock. I couldn't stop laughing out of agony when I had it. So i thought I'd share it with you. :)

Hello,
just found this glitch. It might be useful for future runs.

Hey there everybody,
infomastr and myself took the time to do a Guide on speedrunning Alien:Isolation on Nightmare mode. Pretty much everything you need to know about how to basically run the game, how to set it up, and what strats you need is in there (and in the descriptions via links).
Any additional thoughts are appreciated.
Thx Greetings qd
Hey there everybody,
our community got really active lately, and we've done a lot of optimisation in the game. All the DLCs and of course the main categories for campaign have lots of improvements and almost all the new glitches and strats in them. Times have come down a lot. Although we got new runners, we need to think of ways to hold ourselves fresh, and get up new challenges.
That's why I suggest, we write a Letter to Creative Assembly to please give us access to kind of an Alien:Isolation Level Editor. Then we can go further into the game, do real speedrun levels and get into modding. And modding of course, as you all will be very much aware, always secured the vitality of a game community.
So what do you think about this? How should we do this? What's the best approach, and what might be needed in case of technical difficulties? Are there ways we can help CA make this easier for them so they won't feel it's impossible to do?
Greetings qd
So thx again dcruze. This could be the reason. Maybe I'll try to change the way I hack and see if it makes a difference.
Hey there,
I got a problem here for quite some time now. If I hack a terminal too fastly, for some reason a symbol doesnt get logged in.
Example:
This especially happens with the last symbol a lot, like here:
So my guess is it is fps related. But it looks very similar to using an empty box. When you loot it, its empty, you get right out with the radial-menu-button, you get back to use something else. But there is a small delay, before you can use something else. It is a little like that.
Any help appreciated!

So it looks like it's just a timing question and it works pretty consistently. This trick is nice and might be applied to m7 too for example.
Really interesting is to shoot many shots with the shotgun in short time. Speed is twice as fast i guess. The same goes for reloading the bolt gun after a certain point of the loading animation, also twice as fast i guess.
Very interesting find. The stun charges are rare. So that's a problem.
I could imagine we find some other things involving peek.

Hey there everybody,
I just wanted to inform you that now with our 21st runner Blueberrian I finally have to scroll the page to see everything on the Nightmare Any% board. I'm so happy that all of you are with us and enjoy speedrunning this nightmare (or novice) with us! Be welcome, join our streams as we will try and watch what you're doing and how you improve your times.
After the community was a little inactive from time to time, it is as active as it's never been. There still seems to be room for discovery and steadily we glitch out seconds and even minutes (Ps4 exclusive). If you got ideas, tell us, post them in the forums. If you got questions, ask.
You're all very welcome It's still great fun
Greetings qd
coooooooooool i will have a look into that
thx -d

I had local recording on, but not "Keep recording if live stream stops"; it's several vod's on my pc now. ¤edit¤ I never had live stream split before. ¤edit¤ Runs with several vods have been accepted in the past as well. I guess you had difficulties with the gaps in the run?
I don't have any other possibility to have vods of my runs than on twitch.tv I don't have a youtube account I would use to upload A:I-runs. If I had to upload a locally recorded run because of disconnect issues, I would have to restream it.

Hey,
as there are different opinions on this, I would like to put it on the table right away. With my old GPU I was able to reproduce the "Ps4 Exclusive" on pc without an outside tool. I did that by putting up resolution so the framerate was right to get it.
Now the question is: Is this glitch to be allowed on pc?
What are the important factors:
- is it understood and reproducible? (YES)
- is it reproducible for everyone? (on console: YES / on pc: 1] with an outside tool (TAS > seperate category required); 2] with a bad hardware setup, like bad GPU)
So it's not reproducible for everybody right now because some setups simply will be too strong to have FPS drop into the "glitch-field". I think, we might be able to find a way to get this glitch working in the future without any additional tools. Right now, almost everybody agrees, it should be allowed for consoles. So why not for pc?
Remember: With my bad GPU, even if I turned down everything, I still have hardware lags, will make steps due to that, and get caught by the alien more often. Also because of hardware lag I have to use more fuel to fend off the alien because I cant dose it as differentiated as on an high-fps-setup. So the question also is: Do the disadvantages outweigh the advantage of this special glitch?
What is your opinion?
My personal opinion is: We should have a look into FPS-locking and extend the rules to one specific, defined and obligatory program you have to use if you want to lock FPS to execute this glitch in a normal run. This glitch is too valuable to leave it out, but it's not important enough to create totally new categories for this.
Greetings qd
Hey hey,
my GPU is a AMD Radeon HD 6670.
And another thing about the video in my last post: This also proves that there is a lower threshold for fps below which the Glitch will not work either. So it is somewhere between 45 and maybe 10 fps (?).
Greets qd
From my run yesterday. Bad GPU and resolution change. Not even particles from a molo were necessary to get below the fps threshold.
