Hello, everyone!
I heard people were talking about me having 36 FPS(?) Joking? Whoever joked around with that should read the following and really watch all of my links, please.
XeroKynos (A member of SPEEDDEMOSARCHIVE, and the WORLD RECORD HOLDER for the SEGMENTED SPEEDRUN of FINAL FANTASY VII [PC] with an end time of 6:40).
Note Kynos' time entering Wall Market (37:52)
Note Deathtome's time entering Wall Market (37:46)
Note Nenkozan's time entering Wall Market - !FPS CHANGER/CHEAT! (37:16)
2 Legit times, and 1 Cheated time. The cheated one with 34 FPS clearly won (since when streaming it's IMPOSSIBLE to get 34 FPS flat all the time like Nenkozan did).
KYNOS is a supreme example since we are at about the same skill level when it comes to running Midgar. He have the world record for Yuffie Warping (sub 2½ hours completing the game!). If you want to inspect more you can check what his 1:38:XX Midgar Escape is in the run I linked (on part 2 or 3 though). Mine is 1:38:45 on that WR run. Pretty much the same. I asked him about his specs. He is using a random laptop with AMD Quad-Core, as I am doing. I doubt we even have the same computer!
The game is capped, no matter how good the computer is, to 60 FPS (Menu), 34 FPS (Dungeons), 30 FPS (World Map), 15 FPS (Battles). 34 FPS on INTEL processor is NOT the same as 34 FPS on AMD processor. INTEL says 34 FPS, but DO NOT run at 34 FPS(?) I don't know if people have other things that affect the time. On my INTEL processor COMPUTER I lost 50-60 seconds on the AIR BUSTER split (think about how much text skipping there is and barely any encounters - meaning that it would probably be less time if there are MORE battles later on with the bosses etc.).
I am comparing my BEST AMD time with my one-time-only run to Air Buster on my INTEL processor computer. Let's say 1 minute behind each 30 minutes (exaggurated, but STILL! It would be -14 minutes from a run on INTEL processor).
Final Fantasy VII Steam Version Settings:
640x480 (Fullscreen)
Open Broadcaster Software (OBS):
30 Fps/640x360 resolution (widescreen 16:9 for splits/camera)
PROCESSOR SETTINGS: IDLE/SUPERFAST
BIT RATE: 700kbit / 2000kbit BUFFER
Aero Desktop HAVE to be ENABLED in order for the game to run AS CLOSE TO 34 FPS as possible, as far as I know.
Playing while STREAMING will decrease the frame rate by a little. This means that while streaming I am at about 33 FPS to 34 FPS, but NEVER 34 FPS constant!
In my honest opinion there is no need to disqualify something that is LEGIT. I seem to be one of a few people in the world that can play the game as it is intended to on the RE-RELEASED VERSION (or close to it - still not 34 FPS constantly *see Nenkozan's run*).
What do people have to do to reach my run speed? - Buy an QUAD-CORE AMD processor (laptop preferably), Get Windows 7 (64-bit), Enable Aero Desktop, Get Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) use setting provided above.
The problem I find with disqualifying my run is that 30 FPS in dungeons changes EVERYTHING. Yuffie is not worthwhile, and all the strategies I have adapted due to the run speed outside of battles will be completely different. Then it would be the EXACT same game as the PS1 version. Then I guess people should play the PS1 version, which I am going to do as well now. (Yeah, I know, you shouldn't have to and I agree).
I am just a bit disappointed about the talk last night. My hardware is NOT cheating. I am NOT getting more than 34 FPS. I play LEGIT, and I am SORRY that so many people struggle to play the game as it is MEANT to be PLAYED on the re-release (steam version). I have provided all the information I could gather. So please respect how it is. I understand people have Intel Processors (since they are supposedly better?). Just like I have to buy an american PS2 with an american FF7 to compete with Carnage. I think it's going to be the same in this situation as well. Unless they patch it I guess the only LEGIT solution is buying an AMD processor. Should be less than $100, I believe.
I will do an INTEL run for you guys that can't run the game as fast, but it will NOT be as good or close to as good as the WR time.
I am sorry, but hope it helps some of you to understand how the situation is. I cannot beat my WR time that I got due to RNG. I mean theoretically it is possible, but to what cost? Play the game for a few months AGAIN(?) to get the same chance? I just cannot replicate what happened without going insane = still cannot show you what my time would've been on an Intel processor. So therefore I am torn about what to do. I would NOT mind if people change the FPS, if someone can come up with the exact formula of the FPS I am playing with.
My WR computer:
AMD A8-3520M Quad-Core (1,4 Ghz/1,6 Ghz Turbo)
8GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6620G
Windows 7 (64-Bit)
One last funny scenario. Imagine 90% of the runners on LzH have a PS2 and FF7 on PAL version. Carnage is CRUSHING you guys with his NTSC version. He gets sub 8 tomorrow, and then you guys complain that his game runs faster. There is no way you guys can race against his time with a PAL version. So the only way would be if CARNAGE should run the PAL version just so that you guys have something to compare with. I think it's basically the same in the scenario above. I think we all can agree on that at the end of the day? I sure hope we can, because I don't want to re-do my run. I hope you understand.
