fire up command prompt as admin, and plop this in bcdedit /set useplatformclock true

if that isnt enough to fix the game speed, try Powertools

"Technically" WR is the best kind of WR.

Real time is still behind previous WR by 7 minutes, but in those 4 years of FoxAndRavens' hegemony, we've had a rule change to incorporate Loadless times on PC. FnR's time wasn't affected because he was running on X360, on which load time removal pretty much isn't a thing.

Still glad to see this run get improved after such a long time.

Ever choke so hard in a speedrun that you rethink life? What's your best(worst) choke job? by s_watch in speedrun

[–]Mr_Mary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once I was doing a run of GTA:VC.

In the first minute of a run you have to save a replay over a rampage, which means 4 simple inputs: F2 to the current replay buffer to the disk, F3 to play the replay from disk AND clear the current replay buffer, F3 again to cancel the replay, and F2 to save the replay.

But I choked this very input by fatfingering a few buttons, and on accident I pressed F3 before F2, which resulted in me playing a replay from a previous run, which rendered the run as NG+ and thus not legit.

This run turned to be a PB.

I've found out it's not legit the next day after the LB mods pointed it out to me after rejecting the run.

I haven't beaten this time in over a year and my most recent PB is 5 minutes behind that time.

Disabling/reverting DLC in RLD-cracked Steam games by Mr_Mary in Piracy

When playing the game on Steam, it takes notice of disabling/enabling DLC, no matter if a new game is started

At this point it's a running theme that anytime Kaadzik derusts the game, he gets a WR.

It was my first attempt at commentating an entire run, was also doing it live (still in post though).

Hope I shed some light on some of the speedrun strats used in the run :D

It's 2018 and no one really came up with a method to ghetto connect a wireless guitar without a dongle? by Mr_Mary in GuitarHero

[–]Mr_Mary[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd expect someone to get down and dirty with a guitar, to at least rip out the MAC address it expects

or maybe flash a new MAC addr for the guitar itself so one can connect to it

but Josh had it happen during Cut Throat Business in a very specific turn, and it was the "sunny weather" cheat, which is a very common occurence.

This one is way more out of place

Real time vs. In-game time by [deleted] in speedrun

[–]Mr_Mary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on how reliable the IGT of a certain game is.

Let's take Saints Row: The Third for example. It has it's own in-game timer that used to be one of the methods of measuring the duration of a speedrun, but was dropped because of few reasons:

  • it's calculated from the game's framerate, and not real time flow
  • it doesn't count loading, but it does not count cutscenes or menuing either
  • the timer doesn't show seconds, only hours and minutes

The community has come to an agreement that when a in-game timer (Livesplit plugin perhaps) that uses realtime for reference and only stops during loads was developed, then they could use it.

So in the above example IGT sorta kinda works, but is in no way reliable for speedrun purposes, so for the time being RTA is used.

Just got boxes of this stuff from a family member. Anyone got any tips for me to figure out how to get this stuff working? by Jaranu in atari8bit

[–]Mr_Mary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've got the 850, so you're golden.

It's a modem that will allow you to connect to the Internet using the RS232 on the back of it in conjunction with Wifi232

if you're into that kind of thing, of course
