| NoTeefy | And yeah, it would also be unfair because older runs with those problems got denied |
| Failentin | @NoTeefy Hm, I don't rly get what you mean tbh :/ Being allowed to submit a run with a crash always carries the risk that the run might have been edited, what does retiming the run have specifically to do with that? |
| NoTeefy | Oh you were talking about retiming, my bad then 😄 |
| NoTeefy | Thought you meant that you would cut the run before submitting it to get rid of the crash downtime |
| NoTeefy | Retiming should be allowed. I mean I can also update the autosplitters to pause the timer when the game's closed |
| NoTeefy | Would make it the fairest then |
| NoTeefy | But it would also allow people to just alt + f4 their game if they need to go to the toilet or something and that's a thing that's not liked in the speedrun community |
| ViGadeomes | so don't do that x) |
| NoTeefy | In my opinion that's just a random factor, it happens and can happen for everyone. I also had cases where I would have gotten a WR in another game that I ran but got a random softlock which I couldn't prevent |
| NoTeefy | That's just one of the risks for every speedrun/game you play |
| NoTeefy | But we should really spam them till they fix those crashes. It's annoying as hell |
| NoTeefy | I even had a few crashes when playing through the game casually without any speed strats and stuff |
| Failentin | Yeah, making the timer pause while booting the game up after a crash wouldn't be a good idea |
| NoTeefy | Which brings me to my point, we can't really change anything about it except to get the devs to fix them |
| NoTeefy | It's not like those crashes are related to any strats we (ab)use but from the engine itself |
| Failentin | @NoTeefy Hm, still don't quite agree with your point Personally, I think the crashes should be ignored *because* they're such a random factor. Running would be much fairer and more fun if crashes wouldn't able to ruin your run randomly. |
| ViGadeomes | for me it's part of speedrunning |
| ViGadeomes | and gaming in general |
| ViGadeomes | you have to do with |
| NoTeefy | ^^ this. Everyone has the same chances of getting a crash/softlock, that's why it's totally fair |
